Zombie Driver and PS3 controller. - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Purchased Zombie Driver yesterday and noticed a gamepad can be used with it. What do I need to do to get a PS3 controller to work with the game?

Download the SixAxis app from the Play Store and link them, pretty much it to be honest mate.
Also is the game any good mate?

Its not bad actually. Haven't spent a massive amount of time on it due to trying to get a PS3 controller configured lol.

Did you manage to find the SixAxis?
If not:

It is a paid app but buy it, give it a quick go and if it doesnt work/you dont like it get it refunded, if not keep it and enjoy your PS3 controller

I bought it, sync'd, and can't figure out how to get the controller to control the screen. It definitely pairs, and I've enabled it under input methods.. game just doesn't react to it. Color me confused.

There's an option in SixAxis to change how the controller interacts with the device. You can have the controller map to "touch areas" on your screen. So pressing a button will touch a particular area on the screen.
You should also have an option to have the controller be a gamepad, so games should see you have a "gamepad" connected. I do this when playing Modern Combat 3. I set it to a gamepad, and when I play the game, I just map the buttons normally. The R3/L3 sticks also should move as analog.

UK ASUS OTA Update adds xbox 360 controller support

I thought a few people might find this useful.
As the title says The OTA update I received today (16th July) seems to have added support for the wired xbox 360 controller.
I have tried the with cordy (a game from the android market) and two emulators - Nesoid and N64oid and it works fine once the keys have been mapped. It kept saying <unknown> but it does at least recognize the key presses.

nice. that will make gaming super awesome now on the TF.
Very handy actually, as all the Xbox games that have been released for the last year and a bit have been utter ****e and nothing new on the horizon either, so I could do with a reason to find another use for the controller. Off to get some batteries and try this out.
I still want wireless other than the wii controller, sigh.

Batteries?
Isn't the support for the wired controller only?

PS3 SixAxis is wireless
Does the ps3 controller work as a bluetooth gamepad? I haven't tried.

[Q] OnLive Compatible?

Was just wondering if anyone had tried the OnLive Android client on this? It's obviously not officially supported yet, but there is a fair chance that it will work.
Thanks.

Yes. No reason it won't. Even if it isnt in the market, just sideload it

Thanks, was just thinking that I hadn't seen anyone run it on JB, and there may be some compatibility issue there.
Would still like to see if someone can actually get it running. I am tempted to pick up one of the universal controllers if I am sure it works well with this.
im getting onlive for sure! i just need to find a good controller for my tegra hd games.
Thought I'd bump this existing thread since the N7's are in a lot of people's hands now. Has anyone had a chance to try the controller yet?
I'm interested in getting a controller for my N7 and until the Nyko Android PlayPads are released. Thought this might be the best way to go in the meantime.
Cheers,
Kermee
I have just sold a brand new controller on eBay as I had two sent and they didn't want it back ?!? Very accommodating are on live ... lol
Have not used my on live yet but the N7 run games (in app) amazingly well.
I think On live will work just as good

I've used OnLive on the N7 - works great. I haven't got a controller for it though.
Same for me using it right now on Nexus7 to play Lego Batman and its working great!

This is a patched onlive app that allows any controller to work by default. Like sixaxis pps3.

I had previously bought an official receiver so that I could use my wireless Xbox controller to play games on my Windows PC.
Now I just plug the receiver into a USB OTG cable connected to my N7. Just tap the button on the receiver and the connect button on the controller, and job done. You can use the Xbox controller to navigate and play games.
Thanks for that information I'm waiting on my cable and ill try my wired xbox control I've already got the patched apk installed

OnLive and the official universal controller works great.

Game pads?

So downloaded some pretty awesome games (shadowgun, nova 3, modern combat, riptide GP, and a load more - went kind of overboard but that's what the first hit of a Tegra 3 device can do to a man...) on my Nexus 7 but struggling to get the hang of touchscreen FPS. Are there any game pads out there that I can connect wirelessly (wifi/bluetooth) to use instead when at home?
Thanks,
Max
buy a ps3 controller, connect via bluetooth.

Awesome, I imagine not all games will be compatible but can test with my cousin's ps3. Do XBOX 360 ones work as well then?

Ps3 and wii classic controller

1. I was wondering If any of these apps were compatable with a ps3 controller or a Wii classic controller.
- modern combat 3
- minecraft pe
- emulators (I know they work on a Wii classic using wiimote, but can you use a ps3 controller?)
- sims 3
- real racing 2
- samurai 2
- Bang bang racing
- galaxy on fire 2
- vendetta online
- backbreaker
- Guerilla bob
2. I know lots of games that the ps3 controller works on and I know you can play emulators with a Wii classic controller using wiimote, but can you use the ps3 controller for emulators or the Wii classic controller for games controller adapted?
I would love to see the classic extension recognized.
Has anyone heard of an app that will map gamepads (especially Bluetooth) to traditional controls for apps without support?
How about emulating a pointer with the wiimote or six axis

I know of sixaxis but I'd rather not root. I'm not very techy and I feel like I'd make a mistake while rooting.
Anyone else?
a few months late, but here is something that may interest you that I posted in another thread.

Hey bro if you can come off $40.00 and go to your local game stop you can get the NYKO PLAY PAD PRO controller and download there free app called PLAYGROUND BETA it syncs the controller to the games and it will play the games you listed I have one and yet to find a game it will not play NO ROOT REQUIRED GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS YOU GUYS

Were you aware of these? http://is.gd/SHLYdT and http://is.gd/lt2XDs and http://is.gd/WYM2EU They have apps in Play store too.
Thanks for that info!!! This will really be great if they start getting the touch mapping up and running. I also informed my guys at DroidGamers.

Xbox 360 controller on Modern Combat 4

Hello, has anyone managed to get the Xbox 360 controller with an OTG cable to work on Modern combat 4? The right analogue stick doesn't move so I cannot turn my player, i would like to remap the controls as they only partially work right now. If anyone has experience with this or any form of guide how to help this would be hugely appreciated. Thanks

I am looking for a similar thing...also is there an xbox app like the six axis for ps3 controller (even beta version in development would be helpful)...
I believe you might need a custom keylayout. If I recall right, someone posted a proper keylayout for both a wired and wireless Xbox 360 controller that was supposed to fix the spiraling camera issue in DEAD TRIGGER, which I would imagine would work fine for any other game
Okay but how do I go about getting a custom key layout?

Will need to have root.
Info and key map in this thread
Not played modern combat 4... But this got my Xbox controllers working properly with dead trigger, gta3 and GTA vice city...
I'm fine with rooting just only if the controller will work for definite, otherwise I will return and swap for a ps3 sixaxis , and thanks also.

There is an app called USB/BT Joystick Center that does what you ask, it also works for a ton of devices such as wii controllers, mice, keyboards, etc. However native support would be much better.

The file 'Vendor_045e_Product_0291.kl.zip', attached to that guide, is the key map for wired controllers, which is missing from the n10. Just extract and copy the file to /system/usr/key layout and then set permissions. As I said before, I can't say if it works with mc4 but it definitely works for other games.
I rooted / got USB/BT joystick centre 6, and used the touch server add on to assign the touch screen commands to my Xbox controller.
Each button works correctly, and both analogs but my only problem now is the sensitivity is not high enough for the right analog (turning left/right and up/down) so it takes about 5 seconds for a 360 degrees turn.
I turned the in game sensitivity up to Max, also when I assigned the right analog to turn I put the speed to its highest (10), increasing the speed helped slightly but I need it to be faster, anyone have expereince with the app and able to tell me how to increase the sensitivity?

Just tried the guide from that thread and its no different unfortunately, the same buttons work before and after following the guide. Those buttons are Lb, Rb, Y,X and the left analog stick. Aside from that guide all I actually need is to increase the right analog sensitivity using USB/BT joystick centre somehow if anyone can assist,

Maybe the better choice is ps3 controller with sixaxis app? I used to use it for Asus prime and modern combat 3. Panning wasn't as smooth though and required you to set up on screen button layout.

Hmm from video tutorials I've seen of the ps3 controller on MC4, the sensitivity seems the same. Maybe I'm wrong but would rather first try and figure it out for an Xbox controller before buying a new one
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk 2
Does it work? as i am also trying to use my wired 360 controller and right stick doesn't seem to work...
You have to use the j>t touch emulation and set up the buttons yourself, but the right analog is to slow, need to know if their is a way to speed it up

Help with right analog stick Sensitivity.
I am also trying to raise the sensitivity for my right analog stick as I am also trying to play Modern Combat 4 with my Xbox 360 controller. Does anyone have a solution?:
I never found one. I just went ahead and bought the ps3 six axis, along with the app. Has a sensitivity option which is perfect

I can't see buying a $50 controller for a $1 game. I have a wired Xbox controller but think it would be cool if I could use my controller on mc4.. Joy2touch doesn't work too well. Any help would be awesome!
Am I using joy to touch wrong? Its like the dead Zone is huge but once you overcome the dead zone the movement speed seems to be full on. So aiming speed is either way fast or it doesn't move at all....
