Xbox 360 controller support? *UPDATE - Testers needed!*

I'm curious, with USB hosting how possible is it that someone will be able to create a driver to get an Xbox 360 controller working on the Xoom? I'm thinking a wired controller of course, but if one could get the PC wireless receiver working as well, that would be pretty cool too.
I found this ROM for the Elocity A7 in which the developer seems to have gotten it all working pretty well, including the wireless receiver. I would absolutely LOVE to play some emulators with the Xbox 360 controller!
So, what do you guys think, doable?
*Update (see post 17): Member thegeektern needs some help testing a kernel he's working on to get this working. He doesn't have the host USB cable or the wired controller yet. I'll be ordering the two shortly and will help if nobody else has already by the time they arrive.

If the interface is there, USB controllers, its doable. Drivers are a pain in the butt. At least for me. But I would rather focus on getting something like a mouse working first.

Don't know if this was done anywhere else before, but there is an eLocity rom that has this capability. Here's the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=923801
EDIT: err...nevermind...just reread OP and saw that you already linked the thread so nevermind

That would be ridiculously amazing. What would be even better is if it was wireless, but I doubt that is a possibility.

If they got the USB controller to work, maybe the devs could get the USB dongle to work as well:

Yeah, I'm guessing once somebody gets just the regular wired controller working, getting the wireless receiver working as well wouldn't be that difficult. I'm not that bothered about that though. I'm not going to be far enough away to need wireless and if I have to plug the receiver in any way that's not much different than just plugging the controller in.

Imagine this though. At a hotel, hook the Xoom/other android tablet into the TV through HDMI and then whip out your xbox 360 wireless controller and play some n64 games or something in bed. YES PLEASE.

That's a damn good point! I'm thinking someone could make quite a bit of donation money if they were to make this work. Wink wink!

We're mostly there already. If that datel retro wireless controller keeps getting good reviews I think it would be better to pick that up though.

I suppose that's better than lugging around a Wiimote and classic controller, but I, and I'm sure many others, would rather use an Xbox 360 controller.

I have the datel and it works flawlessly with the xoom. Worth every penny!

FYI I have the wireless receiver and it draws a lot of power from the USB port - more than the allotted 500ma - and it got some notoriety for causing problems on systems that were not capable of providing the extra power. On my system, for example, it knocked out the audio when plugging it in, because the audio was actually USB internally.
So it may not be so great on a Xoom.
However, I agree that it would be truly awesome to get at least wired controllers working!

Could this problem be fixed using a powered USB hub, I wonder? Just more things to plug in, of course. I really would like to see at least the wired controller working, though!

Unfortunately when my house was robbed a few weeks back they took my old wired controller, so I need to buy a new one. Also, been waiting to get the host cable until I had a reason (this is it).

Just purchased another wired controller and the host cable. Unfortunately the estimated arrival from Hong Kong is April 8 - April 21... Hopefully someone is able to help test before that.

I have the wireless reciever, and 4 controllers and 2 head sets I can test that with if you guys want to try to get that working. I get the wifi xoom on sunday.

Yeah you can use PS3/XBOX360. I think the game is pretty sweet. I'm still waiting for them to fix Nova 3 for the GS3. Otherwise I've been playing this, ME Infiltration, Homerun Battle 2, etc..

Have any of you gotten Dead Space to work? On mine it just exists after choosing difficulty.

So I'm getting just about 1% battery drop per minute of ANY (decent) game play. Is that about right? Seems like a LOT to me...
Also:
I agree Dead Trigger is a good game albeit a simple FPS. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like they super dumb down FPS's for phones because they're expecting it to be difficult to use the screen as a controller.
Maybe they do this rightfully so, but if you use a PS3 controller, suddenly all the FPS games are rudimentary and have no depth or challenge. (they all also run too slow when you have the ability to zoom around the screen with a joystick)

How the heck do you hook up an xbox controller?
1% sounds about right considering such a small battery in comparison to like the Vita.

I have yet to do it but my buddy has. The controller connects to the phone via Bluetooth. I think you have to be rooted though I'm not sure.

Is $8.99 too much for one of these cables?

OTG cable is all that you need, it allows the phone to work in USB host mode so you can connect just about any USB device to the phone
For maximum flexibility, I recommend https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.poke64738.usbjoy which is an interface program for USB game controllers which allows you to map ANY usb controller to any key you want. I use this on my Kindle Fire for all the NES/SNES/Etc emulators. It should also work with the bluetooth based controllers. One thing that kind of sucks is that a lot of games are designed from the ground up for touch screen controllers so there is no provision to even change the input device

It's really not very difficult. To connect via bluetooth (which in my opinion is far superior to ugly and annoying wires) you will most likely need root.
I prefer the PS3 controller and this is the app I use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...5ncGl4ZWxzdHVkaW9zLnNpeGF4aXNjb250cm9sbGVyIl0.
A year ago, connecting a wiimote was like 'WOAH!' now, It's almost expected. This is nothing new, and I'm really confused at why there aren't third party controllers for phones. The first good controller (or PS3/xbox copy) could become a standard to which all games are modeled upon. Game makers could even charge like $30 for a big title game and send you a controller for your troubles.
Unfortunately, as altitude909 said above, most every game these days is made with the idea that you'll be using on-screen controls. So they either do some funny things to make it easier to use the screen which doesn't translate into a controller, or they dumb down the gameplay so that it's just too easy with a controller.
Mass Effect is probably the best game graphically and gameplay wise on the US version Galaxy S3 currently. No matter how hard I try, that game just cannot translate into a controller. Because the nature of Mass Effect being a third person life action but turn based shooter, they tried to incorporate that unique gameplay into a phone, which actually works well with on screen controls, but could be so much more enjoyable if you could use a controller. Problem is that the game requires the player to tap on enemies to aim, and also slide around to use various powers...

Can an otg cable and 360 controller work with games, like emulators, without having root?

I've been waiting for it to release in the US or a controller that is similar...

Still confused, as I thought that the 360 controller does not work via bluetooth and lacks a usb interface. Am I wrong? I've got the PS3 controller working via bluetooth no problem.

N7 2nd gen -- controllers?

So, I sold my first gen N7 and my 2nd gen is in the mail.
My question is this: what are my options for hooking up a controller?
I have read that the Bluetooth no longer supports Wii and ps3 controllers.
What about wiring one through an otg cable? Like a 360 wired controller?

Can you provide a source for blue tooth incompatibility? Nothing should have changed and they would be stupid to have disabled that feature. OTG should still be viable.

You'd have better luck posting in the actual Nexus 7.2 forums at this point.

Crap, my bad. Didn't see an N7.2 forum ... Hopefully a mod will move it for me.
I don't have the source at the moment, but I read a q&a from another thread here saying Bluetooth was no longer viable after 4.3.
I tried to make a RAZR Orca (360 controller) work with otg and it wouldn't recognise it.

Mine works with the PS3 controller through the sixaxis app. I don't have a wii so don't know about those.

I've only used PSX, PS2, and original Xbox controllers so far (yes, original Xbox, great for N64 emulation, just cut off the tip and splice a regular USB cable on) and they all worked, but the Xbox controller sadly had major input lag (like 4 full seconds).

Thank you so much for that! I'm gonna subscribe. Let me know when it can support the wiimote again and I'll buy that app too

You might not be interested in buying another, separate, controller; but, of you don't mind, the Moga Pro controller is fantastic. It has a very premium feel to it, and very much so reminds me of a Xbox 360 controller. Its compatible with all of the major apps. Plus, the ones that it isn't compatible with, you can set up for yourself.
They also have fantastic customer support. I picked up my Flo on launch day. The Moga Pivot application wasn't running, so I emailed them. Within two days they had sent out an update and thanked me for letting them know. Also, its fully wireless. So none if that OTG stuff, and you can use it on your phone.

The OEM ps3 using Bluetooth? And with what app?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

I would recommend a PS3 controller. It has been the best controller I've ever used on Android. I have been through them all. I have a Moga Original, and its great for on the go but lacks a D-Pad. I have an Ouya controller, but it's clunky D-Pad is similar to the 360's. WiiMotes (which don't work currently) are great but lacks the button count to play anything other then NES emulators. The Moga, Ouya, 360, WiiMote, and PS3 all have good battery life. Other controllers typically suck the juice and have bad button feedback or otherwise cheaply made. Don't waste your money on anything other then the above noted.
The PS3 has a great DPad and quality. Batteries last a long time, buttons feel great, response time is flawless, connects directly to the Tablet (no dongle like 360).
The Moga is iffy. Seems to be effected with delayed response when using the Moga Pairing app, which is required for the second analog support and for launching games so they pick up on the controls. Controls aren't bad but if you play something like Mario or Sonic, you'll feel the controls are slightly "off". Still a great controller for on-the-go. I haven't tried the Moga on the new N7 yet, they may have fixed this lag.
The PS3 controller is also probably one of the cheaper controllers you can find. I picked up a White PS3 DualShock from Gamestop for $29 new. The PS3 also has the greatest amount of support. It plays reliably across all of my devices, where the others are hit and miss.
The app required is the SixAxis Pairing app from the Play Store. Some custom roms build in this driver and the controller can connect natively, but for the most part, you would use the app. Benefits of the app also include the ability to map buttons to touchscreen overlay controls for games that do not support gamepads.

Out of curiosity, are you talking about the MOGA Pocket or the MOGA Pro? I own the latter and have never had too much trouble with the device in HIG mode (the MOGA app itself though was something of another level of horror).

[Q] Gaming controller suggestions

So I'm torn between two options. A PS3 controller + gameklip, and the Moga Pro. Specifically with 4.3.
With our lack of a self powered USB OTG, and the recent changes in Bluetooth from 4.2 onward, what is the "best" controller to use with our N4s?
Rooting is not a problem. As most reviews of android game controllers revolve around not having to be rooted, and having USB OTG support.
I'm leaning towards the Moga Pro with its built in clip, and dual connection mode. (Bluetooth HID, and the Moga app.)
Anyone has experience using both controllers on the N4?
Edit: wasn't sure if to post here or in the Q&A forum. Since the question itself is about accessories. If a mod deems necessary, please move this thread.

I haven't use the Moga so i'm posting for no reason...ha
But I really do love the ps3 controller using an app by the same name from the play store. It really is great how you can image map and such. That being said, there is a Moga thread in this forum somewhere and you might get better results there. Id be interested to hear about the comparison though.

Yeah, the compatibility of the ps3 seems to be the best. The ability to map buttons to screen presses seems to be the best way to make any game work, whether it has controller support or not.
I've heard of lag issues of using Bluetooth and WiFi at the same time with the Moga, not sure if these issues were ever fixed or not. Are they present with the ps3 controller? I have unlimited mobile data, but reception is obviously better on WiFi than mobile while inside my house.
The main thing stopping me from using the PS3 controller is the price. Once I buy an official controller plus the gameklip, you're looking at almost $80 after taxes and/or shipping.
I've been watching craigslist and might start looking at local pawn shops to see if I can find a used ps3 controller at a better price. (Unlike GameStop which gives you a whole $5 off for a used controller)
Edit: and while i asked for opinions from those who have used both, I'm more than open to hear from those who have used one or the other. I just want opinions from people who actually use one of these devices on a N4 with 4.3.

hello my friend, i recently purchased the moga pro controller to play with my n4, and im absolutly happy about it, the control feels really nice in your hand, like really nice..i've been playing a lot mc4,riptide gp2, asphalt 8, shadowgun deadzone and a few more, and they all run perfectly with no laggs, i repit, 0 lagg xD... i've been playing some emulator aswell, using the moga universal driver controller, and it runs just fine , playing zelda ocarina of time on this bad boy is really awesome , i have tried sixasis controller, but for like 2-3 days, and it was ok, but u need a gameklip to play with, and the set up for mapping is a bit strange to me ( i dont know why) setting up the moga controller was not a problem, is really easy to set up.
i hope this help to you, if u have any question for the moga pro controller, just ask

I'm on 4.3 rasbean, I use both ps3 controller and the moga controller. I use the ps3 controller when my phone is connected to the TV. I stream my pc, and I play fps and emulators on the TV, it's like a little console for me. Moga works great for the road doesn't work with my pc streaming app but works great with other apps like gta.
Both worked well with Franco and I haven't noticed lag with them. I use them often. Both work great, but Moga doesn't work with everything like kainy my pc streaming app, I play Diablo 3 with the ps3 controller

I will have to check out kainy, that's one feature I loved about the nvidia shield. While the streaming app sounds awesome, I honestly only see myself using it with diablo iii. KB/mouse > controller for fps. Strategy games have too many buttons. Diablo is honestly perfect.
The phone will be the screen. I won't be hooking it up to the television. I'll wait for a dedicated device for that.
Gameklip is a ~$20 plastic clip that will hold your phone onto the ps3 controller. Much like the Moga will hold your phone. A little pricey, but from all the reviews its a very well made clip.

For you it sounds like you need to sell the Moga and get a gameklip.
gplus.to/hartley add me, let's play some games.

I had an Ipega, it wasn't great. Really want to try a Moga but they're still too expensive in the UK.

[Q] SixAxis Wireless.... HELP!!

So I am sure plenty of you guys know Sixaxis has been given a lot of us a really big problem and a lot of people are rooting (and voiding warranties) just to find out that Sixaxis doesn't pair with TN7.. Has ANYONE been able to get this to work with their TN7 wirelessly. If so please explain exactly what you had to do to achieve this. I really don't want to buy another controller and I like Sixaxis software. I have never gotten Sixaxis to work with the TN7 using Bluetooth, but I had it working with my now sold Nexus 7, although I did have some issues then.

I've gotten a dualshock 3 to work using USB/BT center Gold, an OTG cable, and a Bluetooth dongle.

I do wish Wii controllers and Dualshock/Sixaxis controllers would work with the built-in blue tooth.

afaik it doesnt. Was discussed in another thread here, someone said the n7 has similar bluetooth drivers like the <insert device where sixasis doesnt work>.
alternative is 360 controller, dont know about the wireless version, but wired works perfekt.

Cheers for that m8 think will just save pennies for Bluetooth controller anyone know a good one for the note seven ?

I have a Moga Pro that pairs just fine, but that thing is prone to some serious lag sometimes. I just plug my PS3 controller in with an OTG cable and it works fine, no root or anything. It's funny, Nyko's Playpad is supposed to be the "official" controller of this thing, but I've read people having a lot of issues with those as well. I also remember seeing one random post of someone using one of the GameStop controllers with theirs, and they gave the impression that it worked fine but didn't really say so.

Thanks for your comment on sixaxis using otg cable, I have sixaxis app as I purchased for my last tablet but as mentioned here it won't work on tegra note as Bluetooth driver isn't compatible
I purchased a steel series free mobile whilst in USA but didn't get on with it so was wondering about ps3 pad via otg cable and sixaxis app - would prefer wireless but I like the pad and remapping abilities

I have the SixAxis app, but I've never had to use it with this tablet; PS3 controllers will work through USB with no additional software required. The only need for it would be remapping, and come to think of it, I'm not sure if you can remap controls in the SixAxis app without it being connected via BT... I've never tried.
Oh, and damianiw, you might wanna check your signature... judging by the "Sent from my TegraNote-P1640" in your post, you're no longer "soon to own" one of these Welcome to the club!

Man, I'm kind of bummed that I got this nice tablet with the features I wanted but have run smack into a Bluetooth comparability wall. I can't synch Wii or Wii U Pro controllers to it. To get PS3 controllers to work I have to use an app, an adapter, and an OTG cable, which means I can't game and charge.
Some of the most fun I had with my Acer A500 was hooking it up to HDMI out, plugging in the charger, synching up some Wii remotes with classic controllers and playing through Seiken Densetsu 3 with my friends. I was hoping to be able to replicate that with a smaller more powerful tablet but looks like that can't happen for a while if at all.

you need to use the Nyko Playpad pro, they work perfectly over bluetooth and are endorsed by Nvidia for use on both the Tegra Note 7 and Nvidia Shield - (both packing Tegra 4's).

I just received my PlayPad Pro today and I've got to say I'm pretty disappointed, especially after reading a few decent reviews. There are very noticeable deadzones on the sticks, the shoulder buttons are spongy and uncomfortable to use which is annoying as they are used more in games than the better quality triggers.
Maybe I've been spoilt, having used the SixAxis app on my last tablet which was just awesome. It's a real shame we can't get that working with the PS3 pad on the TN7, as that is far far superior to this PlayPad Pro.
