Capable of multitouch

I read that well, we are limited to 2 fingers because of kernel headers, so nothing to be done there.
But I wanted to state that the controller in the Atrix is capable of "ture 12-bit multiple touch with independent XY tracking for up to 10 concurrent touches in real time with touch size reporting". source
That does not only mean we got up to 10 touches capacity, but that features that involve touch size are available. That means that when-if the bootloader gets cracked-sidestepped we could enable function to lock the screen like the Zune, where putting a big touch size locks the screen. A very useful thing especially if you put it in your pocket (facing your leg)

..................

Forgive my ignorance, but what's the use of more than 2 fingers touching the screen?
I've bought my Atrix but haven't started using it yet , wanna root, install custom and invisible shield b4

There are quite a few games that require 3+ simultaneous touches.

I heard this from another forum member and haven't tried it, but I believe Cut the Rope can use more than two touches. Is it even on the Market though...?

I haven't seen any apps/games that use more than 2 touches, but I'm sure there is good potential for some.
Basically it would be like a Apple touch pad for using swipe, double swipe or triple swipe.

I do, was trying to play xenogears on FPse earlier on, then I realise I'm stuck at the bloody forest part when u need to simultaneously press O and triangle as well as the directional pad to jump onto the huge tree trunk in order to move on to the next area.

SNES, PSX, GENESIS and other emulators may require 3+ touch.

PS3 controller works on Nexus S 4G 2.3.5 rooted stock rom.

Just like the title says, I just got the "Sixaxis Controller" app from the market and it works on our phone.
The app is here https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&feature=search_result
Just tested with a couple of emus and it works great!

costs money though

nice any games that support it? or just emulators?

wirelessly?

you use a device twice as big as your phone to play with it ^^, that's not very portable

I know for sure emulators do. As for regular games the controller works the same as a slide out keyboard (you just program the keys) so if a keyboard is supported for button mapping so is the controller.

Can this work without being rooted? I've always liked a lot of the games for mobile phones but never liked the touch screen controls.

As far as I know you have to be root.

I've been waiting on this, using the wiimote was awesome but it lacked buttons.

I'm using a Nexus S (T-Mobile bands) with CM7 nightly 155 and netarchy 1.3.9. I purchased the app and it works perfectly.
I'm loving this so much!

Has anybody got the keys mapped out for gun bros?

Look what i found!! Must see!!

Does it have gamepad support? And it would be great if you could hook up a mouse through the keyboard dock and play SC2 on a tablet.

So to use spashtop one needs to be on the same wifi network as their desktop?
Or were you talking about splastop 2, or are they the same thing?

Spashtop2 is out on my pcs - but requires a login now with their services - blergh
i got it when it was on sale a cpl of weeks ago - its nice since you can not only play games but also use it as RDP which is nice.
You only need to be in the same network if you don't sign in - otherwise you can connect using your google account

Surely looks awesome!
How is the client on OSX, anyone tried it out?

its not available on google play yet right?

make sure you get the thd version if you're using a tegra device. It's faster good for games. Although you must be on a fast network for this to work smoothly.
I've been playing diablo 3 and it works but it's not the best for fps games since they require good reaction times. If you have a fast network then i'm sure you could play most games.

I currently have the non-THD version of the app so is there any advantage of getting the THD version if I do not plan on playing games (since I have ATI card that is not supported in full screen) ?

Yes an ati card won't support the full screen but you can always play windowed no borders. but if you don't plan on playing any games then you will be fine with just the reular version.

Is yours actually working now? Mine continues to just crash to the home screen without any errors, no matter what game I try to load. I've uninstalled/reinstalled with no change.
Sent an email to the dev with logcat, waiting to hear back. It continues to work fine on my phone (LG Optimus One P500, CM9), but it's kinda hard to play anything on a 3.2" screen once you've been spoiled by the 7" gloriousness that is the Nexus.

Do you guys hook up controllers to play? I've been playing some contra with nesoid but having some difficulty getting used to the touch screen dpad

I use an iControlpad. http://www.icontrolpad.com/ It was expensive but works great and has a thin profile so it sits in my bag nice. The phone clamp is removable.

I've been using sixaxis with my nexus 7 for all sorts of emulation and gaming purposes. I'd highly recommend it, especially if you own a PlayStation 3 already! It has run well on my 7 and my nexus s since the update in the topic post. I even got to play through Chrono Trigger: Flames of Eternity on it! Good times.

Replacement for Xperia Play: Moga Controllers

Hi guys,
I recently noticed many people saying goodbye to Xperia Play n going to S3 or other devices..
Ques: I want to know if its good option to replace Xperia Play with ARCHOS GAMING TABLET?
Ans: I have tried Archos Gamepad and trust me its pathetic !! Better avoid, its waste of money.
Finally m using MOGA CONTROLLERS with my Galaxy Note 2 and its pretty cool.
Waiting for Moga Controller Pro version now.

I don't think that's a phone

But seriously I think there will be Xperia Play 2. Start next year as lots of contracts going to finish (like my) and big hole in market will appear. To big to miss tat opportunity, specially Sony said that selling of XP was bigger as predicted so I have hope

I'd Rather buy a real ps vita and put a cfw on it then buying this cheap thing looks like the build quality is really cheap

Equally, how the hell do you use a 7 inch gamepad as a phone?

The Archos gaming tablet is just that, a Tablet not a phone.
I have enough phones, I`m more interested in the gaming part of it with physical controls.
I know you can pair up controllers to some other devices, but that means using bluetooth which is bound to be a drain on battery, and also while I feel comfortable using my PS3 pad on my PS3, I don`t think it`s so cool on a mobile phone.

Fair comment, however I still prefer the idea of an all in one unit as opposed to carrying a controller and a device.
Also to be fair this archos tablet gamepad actually looks good to me, and it`s price seems very fair to.

That setup just for when I'm traveling or sometimes at work break when at home I use mhl or ps3 plus a ps3 controllers are one of the best and to attach it like this is pritty cool much better than my xplay them thing have got so much potential but Sony just won't support shame really all it need is tegra 3 and Analog sticks

Archos Gaming Tablet:
The best part? Archos claims to have developed a “mapping and game recognition” software that will allow virtual controls to be mapped to its buttons, even for games that don’t actually support physical controllers
