I have been looking for a solution to this for the past few days and can't seem to find one.
I have a hama black force controller and i want to use it for gaming on my nexus 7 but i cant find a way to set up my keys to the touch screen. I tried the sixaxis controller app from the google play store but the app doesn't recognize my controller. Any idea's on a solution on this or is it even possible.
Thx in advance and sorry for my bad English.

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.
Hey
I've been looking for a way to enable gamepad via OTG on Galaxy Note, and from what I understand there needs to be a kernel module present for this to work - joydev.ko. I've been searching for it and found some of them but for different devices, and wasn't surprised that none of them worked.
Could some developer spend a few minutes and try compiling joydev for our device? I have been trying to do this myself the whole day but seems I don't have enough knowledge in this field.

I've been trying as well. Couldn't do it either.
Winded up buying a DualShock3 and connecting it using SixAxis. Works perfectly
When i had an asus transformer prime i was able to connect my xbox 360 gamepad to the usb port. it was a great experience.
this is something i really miss on the galaxy note.
Hi just coupe of days back i was also trying to figure out how to enable game pad.
What i did was,
1. Bought a six axis USB controller connected it via OTG.
2.got a all called usb/bt joycenter.
3. The app detected the connected controller, i mapped the keys for GTA3.
4. Done
Worked like a charm.
Hope this information is helpful

Primarily the wireless x360 controller (i have the dongle thing) but I was also thinking about connecting a dance pad (because why not )

Thanks for the hint.
It would be even better to have some kind of native support like i had experienced on the asus transformer prime with the wireless 360 controller connected via the "dongle thing". also gta 3 is one of the games that support controller out of the box. so it should not be nessesary to buy apps...
just a kernel thing?
The app you linked to kind of works, but only on stock-based roms (I think, didnt work for me on paranoid).
It does discover the x360 wireless adapter and even properly pairs the controller with the adapter. I can see it receiving button presses and i can map them and what not. The problem is it doesn't forward the presses properly. I tried mapping it to different keys to no success (and I have the IME switched on and set as default). The controller works within the app but nowhere else.
I have yet to try to play around with the touch emulation thing
Have you set the default input method as IME ?
If then also its not working you can try this app (free but limited)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fishstix.gameboard
or this one which is paid but is fully customizable
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.locnet.gamekeyboard

Yes, I have.
These apps are basicaly on-screen gamepads, I'm looking for a way to make a real controller work.

You are correct these are mainly meant for onscreen keyboard but GameKeyboard is much more than that.
Sometimes the keys of controllers are not recognized by the games, in my case NESOID emulator was not able to recognize the controller keys other than the D-Pad.
In the GameKeyboard app, you can map the physical keys to virtual keyboard keys such as A,B, C ,D......Z or 1234... anything. Then you can assign these keys in the input mappings of the game(Not talking about the touch pad of game). You can also create profiles for multiple games.
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.

I've tried the Nyko playpad pro and it's hot garbage. I've ordered 2 of them and they've both arrived dead. won't power on or anything. I've read a lot of reviews on it and see that you have to be lucky to get a working on. I'm looking for a bluetooth controller that works and a way to reconfigure the buttons on it. Is this possible? I want to use the controller for my Shield Tablet as well as the Shield TV. Someone thought it was a good idea to not allow you to remap sprint and crouch on DOOM 3, which is super infuriating.
If you are willing to root, there are a lot of options. Honestly, the sixaxis controller app and any Playstation controller are about the best configuration you can find. You can map the controller buttons to literally any key press that android can register, including touching the screen. It also let's you emulate a mouse with either joystick and toggle it on and off. Something I wish was built into the Shield controller.
But, if root isn't an option, you could try the MOGA controller with this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ca.sandstorm.mogaime.gui&hl=en.
I hear MOGA makes decent controllers, but I have never used one personally.
So I got the ps4 remote play app working on my Shield but I haven't been able to get any controller working inside the ps4 remote play app.
Which is kind of weird, because all controllers I tried are working fine outside in all other apps.
One thing I haven't tried is to pair a ds4 controller with this sixaxis controller app on play store.
I head with this app it works. Can anyone confirm this?
In the ps4 remote play app there are these on screen touch buttons for use with a smartphone (I can also use them via the touchpad on my logitech keyboard).
I also read that the sixaxis controller app takes the ds4 controller input and emulates these touch button presses.
My goal would be to use other controllers than a ds4 controller, preferably a xbox one controller.
I guess if an app/module could grab controller input and emulate these touch presses in ps4 remote play app it could work....
Unfortunatly I'm no dev god that could code sth. :crying:
Maybe someone has an idea here?
What version of the app are you using and where did you download it.. can't even get that done for myself

Version 2.6 from apkmirror, newer ones don't work.
It won't work without root.
There's 2 things that are important to make it work:
In Magisk manager you have to install the Sony framework v1 module by Seyaru which makes it even possible to install the remote play app.
This also adds some Dualshock 3/4 system app.
Once installed, do not start the ps4 remote play app yet.
In Magisk manager settings activate Magisk hide. Go to Magisk hide and hide both the ps4 remote play app and the Dualshock.. app.
Now start ps4 remote play app and it should work.
Oh, if you try it on smartphone I should add: The ps4 remote play app will automatically update itself to latest version (which doesn't work) even if you deactivate auto update in playstore!
There's a modified version of ps4 remote play app v2.6 somewhere that doesn't auto update itself. But yeah.. on the Shield we don't have that problem since we sideload the app
So Shield tv needs root? I'm wanting to set this up so my mother can play her PS4, in her room, in our living room. She has no plus access to just transfer her save to the livingroom's PS4 Pro unit and doesn't want to have to manually transfer it back and forth.

Yes..or magisk and xposed modules. To be precise.
It's a shame that Sony doesn't enable ps4 remote play app for all android devices but just for their xperia devices.
Since October the PS4 remote play app is comptable with all Andoid devices including the Shield. I installed it on it but my Dualshock 4 controller seems to not we working. After launching the app, I have an error message : Dualshock is not compatible...
I also tried with the official Shield controller (v2 from 2017) and no error message, but it doesn't work better...
What's the problem ?
