can anyone who owns the razr m confirm if the sixaxis controller is compatible?
all you really need to do is run the free compatibility checker.

and simply just fyi for some people,
the sixaxis controller app lets you pair a ps3 controller to your android phone via bluetooth to play certain games, like gta 3, dead space, and more.

As far as I know you can't root the razr m, there aren't roms for it. this app requires a rooted device, thus, to my knowledge, you can't run the app or use sixaxis controllers.
Just confirming, no word on root yet. Ran the check anyway and of course hit the 'No Root' roadblock. No dice..

Hi All,
I wanted to share my experience to make it easy for you to play old Skool SNES roms using SNES emulator with wireless gamepad. This will save you some trips to the store. Many instructions indicate that you can hookup the PS3 DualShock 3 SixAxis controller to your Xoom tablet using an OTG cable. These are available on Ebay. I didn't want to wait that long and found that it would be cumbersome to have a wired connector to the bottom of my tablet that is standing up or on its docking station. So the following is how I got it working via Bluetooth.
1. Xoom must be rooted
2. Download from Andoid market the SixAxis controller checker (free)
This will check to see if you tablet is compatible, will save you from buying controller, unless you already have a PS3 (I don't)
3. If step 2 is a go, then buy a PS3 DualShock SixAxis controller (I got the blue one for about 58$ Canadian)
**write down your tablets bluetooth network mac code, will need later.
4. Go to the following website: (cant post weblink on forum cuz im a noob but try www . dancing pixel studios . com - sixaxiscontroller - tool . html)
Download the tool, install, then plug your PS3 controller via USB to your PC
5. PS3 controller drivers will install and the program will recognize your controller.
6. Update the controllers master address with the one noted in step 3.
7. Once completed, go on Android Market and buy (2.99$) the SixAxis controller program, install on tablet.
8. Start this program, it will turn on bluetooth and listen for game controller.
9. Turn on your game controller (make discoverable), the tablet will find the device and pair easily.
10. Then you can try the free version of SuperGNES from the Android Market, is fully functions except you can't save your game data. It will work on Honeycomb version and ICS version.
11. Download some SNES roms to your tablet and you're in business. I can't tell you where to get them but if you google SNES roms you are sure to find some.
I hope this makes it easier for everyone, for a 2.99 investment, this is going to make my next business trip on the long plane ride a lot more fun.
With the latest version of Sixaxis Controller, you can elimate steps 3-6. All you need to do is plug the controller in with a usb OTG cable, and the app has a pair controller button, takes less then 10 seconds, and your up and running, no worry about mistyping or messing anything up. Just unplug once it's paired, hit the PS button and your cooking with gas.
What is the best SNES emulator? once upon a time wasn't it snesoid - http://slideme.org/application/snesoid?
is there anyway to use the bluetooth for ps3 without being rooted?
I like this but instead of playing SNES games I use mine with the Mame emulator & my PS3 controller
An Xoom + PS3 pad + a MAME emulator & plenty of old skool Street Fighter games = 1 very happy man :-D

For those who arent rooted, or just want an easier alternative, the Gamestop android game controller works perfectly with all emulators and a large portion of android games without any additional software. Just pair it with the Xoom and you are off and running.
Snes 9x EX is free for the full version.
I'm not rooted or anything but I use the wii controller with all the " oid" emulators . rom buddy app+ wiimote & wiimote controller apps = hours of fun. Tecmo bowl anyone?

I have used Xbox emulation, RetroArch emulator and any other emulator, but I am greatly satisfied with RetroArch emulator.
I have been following various threads on the Onlivefans.com forum about using an Android device to play Onlive games and mapping hardware buttons to software controls. None are perfect and do not play the games I would like. Now the Sony Tablet S is compatible with Onlive using a real PS3 controller. The Sony Tablet S is a Playstation Certified tablet. What would I have to modify on my Nook Color to make it think it is a Tablet S? I already have Sixaxis Controller app to allow bluetooth connectivity to my PS3 controller and it works great for all my emulators. I am really hoping this will let me avoid a $50 purchase of Onlive's official Universal Controller.
Thoughts? Ideas? Thanks in advance.
could you clarify what you mean when you say bluetooth works fine? I was under the impression that book's bt radio was too weak to even keyboard properly?
there are apps on market that allow you to spoof other devices but if it is a hardware or driver limitation you might be able to usb joystick it
The bluetooth has worked great with my PS3 controller. I have used it up to 3 feet away with no issue. I have not tried to use two controllers at once but it seems technically possible.
I guess my real question is, does anyone have a build.prop from a Sony Tablet S and I will try asking in one of those forums.
The PS3 controller works a little bit while using OnLive but they do not allow you to map keys. They want you to use their controller only.

The sixaxis app says it lets you connect four controller but the nook apparently only recognizes one at a time.
Does anyone have any experiance using the Mame4Droid app? I would like to use a BT controller rather than the on-screen controls (pounding on the screen to play Track & Field isn't fun), does anyone have suggestions? I've seen where a Wii controller can be used with a separate app, but i'm thinking that a Sixaxis PS3 controller would be better....any input would be appreciated!

I've been using the ps3 controller with the sixaxis app in usb mode fine, but can't seem to pair it via bluetooth. Also read somewhere that this gamestop controller works great with our nexus 7, so I'll prob give that a try:
http://www.gamestop.com/android/accessories/tablet-wireless-bluetooth-controller/97838
You have to be rooted before the SixAxis app to install the required BT Pairing drivers.
The SixAxis App itself offers a bonus in itself by offering button-to-screen button mappings. This allows for controller use in games otherwise unplayable with a controller. Specifically for this thread, MAME4DROID, probably wouldn't matter since all Emulators have button mapping.
I haven't tried the Gamestop controller, but I have wasted lots of money on alternative gamepad solutions that ultimately just sucks. Quality in a device is essential for old school gaming. When I press Up, I don't want to go Up-Right. When I press Jump, I want to jump immediately. The Gamestop Controller seems nice but I would always be cautious. The reviews say that the controller feels light, cheap, and the button presses lag.
The PS3/SixAxis App is your best solution for gaming. The Gamestop controller might be 2nd or 3rd compared to the OnLive Controller.

I just brought a Red Samurai bluetooth wireless controller from Game Stop. I believe it is their brand. It seems to be working great for mame4droid. My phone is the Lg Optimis VU gsm unlocked. Verizon has the same phone. It is called the Lg Intuition. I'm running 4.0.4 ice cream sandwich. I tried it on two games 1942 Capcom and The Raiden Project by Seibu Kaihatsu. Both games work flawlessly. My phone has not been rooted. Just pair with phone and map the keys. Enjoy

Galaga with a ps3 controller is fun lol. Sixaxis will prettyy much take care of all your android external controller needs.

Does anyone know of a way to remap Sixaxis controller? In GTA3, right analog stick is mapped to some strange "freeview" and I would like to use it for camera pan.
I'm running stock 4.2.1 (not rooted and I would like to stay that way if possible), controller is connected via USB OTG cable. I'm aware of Sixaxis app but it requires root and as far as I understand it works over bluetooth only..
Thanx!

It does require root for the Sixaxis Controller app. However, if you use it and BT the controller, it is an identical control mapping to a PS2 controller. Just like playing it on the console. Works the same in Vice City as well.

I suppose you're talking about the Sixaxis app game settings which you can download on thread here on XDA (because using the out of the box stock ROM and USB OTG connection, mapping it's nothing like on PS )
I wanted to know if there is a way to do something like that when Sixaxis is connected via USB and preferably without going through the root procedure. Guess not

Actually no, I'm talking about the Sixaxis Controller app in the Play store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en
If you use this, and root/BT the controller to the phone, you don't need "app game settings" from that other thread for GTA3 and VC to work just like on a console.
Aside from the hassle of rooting, I don't see a reason not to. You provide root access to apps anyway.
Does anyone know of any bluetooth controllers that work with our device? Phonejoy or anything? I'm on slim rom 4.2.2 build 2 with KTmanta kernel.Thanks.
Ps3 will work with the sixaxis app.

I use a $30 "controller for tablets" that I got from GameStop. It works perfect in my Game Boy Advance and SNES emulator. In the emulator itself go to controls and then assign the buttons however you want. The one problem with modern versions of Android is that when a bluetooth controller is connected, you can no longer use the on-screen keyboard because the controller is your input device. You have to disconnect the controller (or just disable bluetooth) if you want to type stuff again. No that big a deal since you only really have it on while playing a game anyway
Looks like it is on sale now for $20:

Ps3 controller through sixaxis app is awesome and has more native game pad support from apps than any others I've seen... Some games even change all the buttons in game to reflect the ps3 controller... I like where it would normally say "tap here" and it will say "push X"
The bard's tale comes to mind
Plus it let's you set up touch emulation for games that don't have native game pad support
Thanks for the input guys! I tried the one from gamestop. It was red samurai brand. Didn't work. Phonejoy is updating their hardware and is no longer manufacturing those remotes. I'm gonna go with sixaxis. Thanks!!
