Hi,
I've been looking around for a way to re-map the up or down volume control to the FPS games shooting action (be able to shoot with the volume buttons instead of the virtual buttons)
is there any way to accomplish this?
Strange i was thinking about this yesterday. Would making fps games much better.

Well all the key mapping is on system/usr/keylayout you can open the files as a txt and try to change them although not sure if it's possible.
If the game is made to only react to onscreen touch events, no go as no buttons at all are queried so remapping won't do a thing there.
So I'm going to try this,
connecto a usb controller and see if the game reacts to the controller
using the app keynumberTrack I'll catchthe controller key code
then go to the configuration files and try to do something
hope to get good results, I'll post the outcome later
thanks folks!
Why don't you just use a controller via Bluetooth or OTG USB ?
How much punishment could the volume buttons take considering they would then be used many hundreds of times more than normal usage.

coz I dont want to carry around a game controller, If I'm on the bus where do I put the table?, or i'm at work (on my break time) I think is pretty much comfortable to hold the tablet an be able to press a button instead of connecting a game controller.
regarding the punishment on the button you may be right jeje but if we don't try we will never know
I just sent madfinger games a tweet. They are always open to suggestions.
I tweeted them last week to include a ping Meyer in the score menu and they said they will do that.
Maybe they can do this. Deadzone would be a killer with this feature.
I said maybe it could be an option to enable in the settings menu.

That`s great! Maybe they can give some light, we know that not all the android devices have the buttons on the same place but an in-game option to map the game action to a button will be perfect

No, but i think I can use my left hand in the same way as I use it to type or make the games go with my thumb, it will depend on the person's dexterity.
I wasnt able to get a OTG cable yet so I will try to make one and share the results

So I bought a USB snes controller off the net and received it today but when I plug it in I can't seem to use it to play snes any reason why is there an option I should be changing?
Assuming it functions as a standard usb gamepad (I'd be amazed if it didn't), it should work... you may need to enable Input Method in yongzh's emulators, and you'll have to set up the controls button-by-button. I have USB adaptors for NES and Sega controllers, and they work great. Also, are you on any custom rom? I've had trouble with USB gamepads on some roms but don't remember which ones... I'm using lightspeed with the honeyvillain kernel.

And so did stock 3.1... you have to configure the buttons in the emu to use the gamepad.

I hate to sound like a noob, but I am , but how exactly would I do that, real sorry to bust them but like could you possible give a step by step guide on how to do it?
Not that hard..
Tap menu on the notification bar (4th icon)
Input settings
Key mappings
Tap the button you want to change and then press the button on the controller

I am using taboony rom and kernel and Logitech Rumble Gamepad F510. I much prefer the previeous generation by Logitech though, the same looking one, but no colors buttons.

Shall download that, will let you know how it goes.
SNESoid is only on SlideME now because yongzh violated the GPL with his emulators and got booted from the Android Market (so don't buy his stuff). SNES9X is way better IMO anyway, and all of Mark Broglia's emulators rock and are worth every penny, especially MD.EMU. You just have to configure the keys, click on the game button you want to set, press the button on the gamepad, and it's set. As others said, you need at least 3.1 as USB hosting wasn't enabled prior to 3.1. After doing that, you can turn off the onscreen controls too so they aren't in the way... if you were rooted, I'd recommend Honeybar so you can go true fullscreen without the status bar... it's quite nice
Ok so my tablet is now jailbroken, I have tested this on my computer at home and its working fine(the controller) I plug it into the tablet and only one button works (button number 2) anyway around this?
---------- Post added at 04:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 AM ----------
Ok so i got majority of the keys to work for some reason though the up down left right button are not configuring
Sounds strange... the d-pad buttons are mapped to Android's d-pad... I have tried some controllers at my job that don't seem to work right either, so maybe some just don't work right. I can say that the USB adaptors for old controllers work great... play NES games with a real NES pad on my tab all the time.
To revive the post:
So, a NES controller would do the trick? That's cool and all, but the NES one doesn't have the R and L back-buttons
The SNES controller DOES have the buttons I need, but I don't know if it works... (I want to play Castlevania 4...)
i just bought it can i use a wired or a wireless controller
wired 360
wireless ps3
i got both
Try .45 or maybe 40s&w =p
Seriously though,I don't quite understand the question... Is 9mm a game and are you asking if you can use a controller as an input device?

The game engine must support gamepad input, so no.
Sent from my Full Android on Bravo using XDA App
K900 if correct, each individual game will need to support the game pad device as an input. Let us know how it works out.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
If your device is rooted you can use the sixaxis app with your ps3 controller and set up a touch profile to work with 9mm or any other game with on screen controls.

How did you set up gta3 with sixaxis? I bought it, and can't get it to work.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
In sixaxis, hit the menu button > preferences > Edit Touch Profile > set up the buttons to match the on screen controls. To make button placement easier, take a screenshot of gta with the on screen controls up and then click change background from within the sixaxis edit touch profiles area. It's good to get a screenshot both in and out of a car so you can see what the controls are for both. Hope that helps.

i configed the touch in SixAxis and i cant get it to work right.
What doesn't work right? Are you rooted?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
FOR GTA3: To use your dualshock3 controller, simply connect the controller via usb, press the PLAYSTATION button to pair and start playing (no need to open sixaxis). Another alternative would be using the touch profile in sixaxis, touch profiles also allow you to customize your keys.
I'm trying to create a sixaxis touch profile for 9mm, but I cannot take in-game screenshots of the on-screen control buttons. I'm using "screenshot it" and everytime i take a screenshot, the game automatically reload itself. I've also tried "screenshot" and that app doesnt even work. If anyone can take pictures of all the onscreen buttons in 1280x800 resolution, please share it so I can create a touch profile for it and of course i'll share it.
I was able to create touch profiles for the following games: gta3, backstab, and nova 2. I was able to configure it to work like in the console. If anyone want I can share touch profiles.

Have you tried using the built in Honeycomb screenshot tool? Settings > Screen > Put a check next to Screenshot. Then you just have to hold down the multitasking button to take a screenshot.

Would you mind posting them? There's already a thread Here.
And Here is the screenshot you wanted
Did you download 9mm from the Android Market? The only gameloft game that shows up on my tf is uno. I just bought MC3 for 99 cents on my gs2 and thought it would be awesome to play on the tab, but none of them show up... I just assumed incompatible. Do any other of their games show up for you?

I will start on 9mm when I have time. and regarding the 9mm screenshot that you've shared, is that all the buttons? it seems very little...
9mm Sixaxis Profile (Working)
Hi Everyone,
It seemed some people were saying 9mm would not work with the sixaxis controller, but I did get it working with my Acer Iconia A500. Attached is the screen shot which AyDee posted a link to in post #16. Works perfectly with the game.
Cheers

After ICS update second mouse button is not working as "back" action. Now you can use it like real second mouse button at apps. For example at DOSbox turbo you can use it just like on PC. This is very comfortable to play games Warcraft, Warcraft II, Settlers 2 and some other nice DOS strategy games.
Besides at ICS we also get fine working scroll wheel at all apps.
Thanks for your advise. That means we can not go back using mouse at ics or is there any other trick to go back with out use of return soft key?

yes after upgrading to ics mouse buttons can not used for back action or activating menu like before .
is there any solution???

Is there any way to remap keys on 3rd party controlers change the order they come up.
I have an old Gravis Gampad Pro USB I wanted to sue with S/NES and PS1 emulaters but the ouya maps the buttons crazy (ex gamepad r2=ouya Y) and USB controlers come first no matter what as far as I can tell. I wwant to remap the Gampads keys to match the ouya layout to use it or change the Ouya controler from 3 to 1

There are 2 things that you can try. Not sure, but you might need root, I have not used either on a stock device, so I can't remember.
The first is tincore keymapper. It can map some things, but I don't know if it will help in this situation, as I am still trying to figure it out.
The other option is an app called onlive helper. I have used it in the past to map my onlive controller to work for the Zenonia series. I had to use another program to find the key codes my controller used, but I can remember which one (sorry). You edit a txt file with the mapping for the button press you want it to be.
I am not sure if this will work on the Ouya, as I have not tested it, but in theory it should, as long as you can figure out what to map the keys as.

Hey Guys i was just wondering that is it possible to use a usb keyboard and a mouse to play games on our beloved Nexus7...i love using my keyboard and mouse on my N7 and computer...on computer i use it for playing FPS games like Call Of Duty etc.....and i would love to play my Dead Trigger using the same keyboard mouse on my N7....If there is anyway to do so..please LET ME KNOW.......

You cannot use the keyboard on the nexus 7 AFAIK.. I think you van just use the the arrow keys to navigate / scroll. Same goes with the functionality of the mouse.

Brother, I use the keyboard for typing and mouse for browsing the internet almost everyday.....and they work flawlessly together..i dont know why they cant be used for playing games...
During normal use, a kb and mouse work fine, as I use them constantly. But with games, you need an app that can act as an interpreter between the kb/mouse and the controls that the game is programmed to use. There are apps out there that do just that, and have been discussed in length in this section, general section, and the apps/themes section. They are apps like sixxaxis. There are others for tne kb mouse that you can try. A simple google search should get you where you need to be.
You should try USB/BT Joystick Center 8. It costs almost $5.00, but if it works for you, its worth it.
