I'm running stock 4.010.38 right now and I've tried XBOX 360 remotes and a Generic USB Gamepad but I can't get it to work.
ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to use it for Snes and N64oid emulator.
Cheers!
Edit: Please for those who are successful and unsuccessful with this, post your builds and your settings and gamepads! This way we can see whats what.
Edit: Progress (DEV)Richardtrips kernel 2.3 and Thors kernel they have generic USB gamepad support enabled! Awesome!
I'm running rooted stock and was able to get something from a final fantasy 14 gamepad. Gameboid couldn't detect some of the buttons, so it may be a limitation of the driver.

using a Saitek generic pad
Have a old USB saitek 6 button - plugged it in, works fine. Only can use 4/6 buttons but it seems to work fine, tested with a snes emulator, using 4.010.04 stock.
My wired 360 controller worked on 3.0. I haven't tried since updating to 3.1 since no games use it.

Guys dont forget to post your build number
I'm useing the new Virtuous XooM v1.1.2 HC 3.2 rom and my a500 works just fine with my ps3 controller hooked up through usb
Pretty sure all 3.1 firmwares sould work with xbox , some USB and ps3 controllers the main issue is that you can only use them in some apps like the emulators.
you can not controll eg the browsers with them. and dont think games like NFS work ether.
4.010.40, N64Droid, ps3 = yes, usb = yes
works great
...running 3.1 stock rooted, use the honeyvillian rom too. Logitech wired gamepad works great on nesoid emulator
4.010.11 com Gen 2. Wired 360 controller is working with cordy, snes9x, and n64oid. For cordy, no setup required. For the emulators, go to the button setup, select a button, then push a button on the controller
3.1 with the Picasso mod.
WiiMote works great, even the motion works.
Had to download an app from the market, WiiMote Something.
Not sure if the ubs remotes are the same, but I have to change my keyboard input, from stock to Game Pad, then map them in the games.
Unable to get the Xbox controller on mine to work.
It isn't an official MS one, its called "After Glow" which connects via a USB cord. When I plug it in the light flashes on the Xbox symbol but have not been able to remap it in Snes9x or any other emulator i have tried.
Build: Acer_A500_4.010.40_COM_GEN1
Tempted to pick up a Logitech Dual Action Game pad as I can get one cheap and heard that it does work, anyone else have experience with this model?
*edit* Borrowed my mates official Microsoft Xbox USB controller and it worked fine so looks like I was just having an issue with the generic brand, shouldn't be surprised really.

thats good to know i just picked up an after glow yesterday and it didnt work i was afraid to go get a official xbox wired controller and have same problem good to know it worked but did all the buttons works this would be great for psx and n64 emulators
Just for info both Thors kernel and Richardtrips have USB Gamepad support.
It didnt work before but it works now, but still not with my xbox 360 controller.
Cheers!
Wiimote Controller app.
Works great.
EDIT
I couldn't get a Logitech Precision USB controller to work, unfortunately.
Using Taboonay wit thor kernel, mine did not work (ps3) connected with USB.
Did some googleing. found out i need a OTG cable.
Too bad wireless and normal USB are not working. (or maybe im doing something wrong)

Its working perfect for me im using a generic ps3 look-alike.
I think that generics should all work because it basically acts as an outside navigation tool like a mouse and you can move around the Honeycomb UI as soon as you plug it in the/USB port.
Will upload a picture of my remote later.
Is anyone else having issues with the Start buttons on controllers taking you to the home screen?
I ended up having to map start and select to L3 and R3.

Theoretically you should be able to navigate the entire UI using the gamepad so I dont think that is strange behaviour.
Nothing to worry about.

It is when it prevents me from being able to map buttons correctly.

Has anyone had any success getting a PS3 sixaxis controller to work with their A500?
http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/09/sixaxis-controller-android-app-makes-firing-off-hadoukens-easy-a/
Using their testing tool it says it is connected/paired, but the controller doesnt connect. when selecting "scan for devices" from the bluetooth menu the controller never shows up.
I've paid for the main app... works beautifully on my Iconia! Been playing on N64Soid all afternoon... Must use their PC software to reflag the Bluetooth address first. Instructions are on Dancing Pixel's website.
If only I could keymap the actual Dpad to be recognised seperately... poss a fault with the *soid software.
Try it again... it's splendid stuff!!
alright, ill try again when i get home.
glad to hear it does work tho! cant wait to play emu games!
what source do you use for ROMs??
On the stock rom, unrooted, I plugged in my ps3 controller via USB and it worked perfectly no custom software required. I was playin an n64 emulator with the ps3 controller and even had the output going to my TV by HDMI out.
I've been thinking of getting an android tablet for some time. This one (a500) is definitely top #3. I was wondering if someone could give me a definite yes/no if you can add external (usb) devices like thumbdrives and gamepads?
I have an external drive I keep my main media on. Problem is its a ntfs partition. Can it be rooted and a kernel module added for support OR is it supported out of the box? (at least read only)
I also have an old logitech gamepad I'd like to use on emulators/games. Can it be used, or maybe a ps3 controller?
I'd appreciate any help or suggestions. I've googled this and haven't found anything specific for this tablet itself.
Thanks

USB accessories including gamepads should be supported on 3.1.
If not, use your bluetooth ps3 with "Sixaxis Controller" apps from the market. Try their compatibility checker first.

Download Drive Mount from Market and use it but your device must be rooted first.
And for the gamepad flash this kernel and your gamepad will be enabled:

Hope it helps.
I was able to use a sega saturn usb controller (also compatible with pc and ps3) on my acer. Nothing custom necessary.
Youtube video ids or search for iconia saturn:
DMmtVcgGBEI
F1R4Xs5CZW4
That setup will be great when you need to be wired (on airplane). I'm going to try my ps3 madcatz controller too. It uses a usb dongle and 2.4 ghz wireless. The wiimote also works, but the base wiimote doesnt have nearly enough buttons
There was a thread when 3.1 1st hit the iconia. Xbox 360 wired and wireless (with dongle) work, the mad catz sf4 controllers work fine ( both pads and sticks), Saturn USB pads and clones, and well, that's what I tried myself

This method worked perfectly for me. My 1TB portable drive works perfectly.
I rooted with Iconiaroot and it was very easy and fast. One click to unroot too.
Morning.
Last week or so I've been trying to get my PS3 Dualshock 3 Sixaxis controller working with my Nexus 7 via the Micro USB port, and I'm about to give up completely.
I've googled enough to make my head spin, so this is pretty much my last hope for a solution. I've tried with 4.1.1, 4.1.2 & 4.2.2.
I've mailed the developers of the apps mentioned below, but have yet to recieve any response. This was done more than just 1-2 days ago.
I've tried with & without rooting.
The controller works fine when connecting it to my computer & Transformer Prime. It's been close to fully charged all the time.
The Gameklip cable & the OTG-cable works. I can access HDD's, flashdrives & even the SD-card on my PSP.
While using the OTG-cable, I've tried with different USB - Mini USB cables.
Sixaxis Controller using Bluetooth works fine, not a single problem there. I can also add my Nexus 7's MAC-address to the controller via the app without any trouble.
USB/BT Joystick Center 8 finds the controller, but refuses to accept any input from it. The same developer has released a joystick analyzer, and it recognizes the correct vendor & product ID of the controller.
The keylayout file exists & is correctly mapped in my usr/keylayout directory. I've also tried using the Transformers keylayout on the Nexus 7.
And here's the kicker, the spare Gamestop Xbox 360 controller I've got laying around works without a problem. Which almost led to me frisbeeing this ****ing thing out the window. And even though it works, it's not a viable alternative for me since it doesn't fit in the Gameklip.
At this point I'm up for crazy ideas, so any help, no matter how far out there, is appreciated.
Thanks for taking the time to read through this, and if you have any ideas that might help, thanks in advance!

Sorry for the thread resurrection here but I have searched high and low on the internet and this is the only thing that I find that comes close to the same exact problem I am having. The only difference is I have a galaxy s3 running cyanogenmod 10.2. Same issue on 10.1. I can get a wired 360 controller to work just fine and even a Wii classic controller with a USB adapter to work. No Dualshock 3 though. You ever able to fix this?
I have not used my Ouya for some time. Today when I tuned it on it installed an update and now my USB controllers (other than my F310 and that only works in xInput/xBox mode) that were working before are not working. They still work on my computer but not the Ouya.
Am I the only one having this or even the only one using none xbox/PS3 controllers on the Ouya?
i have a similar problem...now my ps3 controller is always recognise as first player no matter what i do...so when i wanna play with a friend i cant cause both pad (ouya one) and ps3 one are first players at same time...this is pretty annoying!!!! any tip to fix it???
