[Q] Ouya Controller

I have just seen the video for the new Ouya Console and had a great thought .....
Would it be possible to port the controller to work on our notes?.
I for one would prefer to have a controller that is specifically designed for android.

X-arcade and Mojo

Hi
New here and to the Mojo. Haven't got one yet but am considering. Does anyone know if you can use an X-arcade controller with the Mojo? If yes, is it hard to set up? Do I have to side load anything or root the device?
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Garry

Hi,
Well I don't have one, but I have used USB controllers just fine.
I would check if the MOJO's kernel version (2.4 or 2.6 from memory) support the controller and if it does.. there is a good chance it will work fine.
I doubt it would need an app for using the controller, if the game/emu lets you map/configure your controller then you wouldn't have a problem.
I would still recommend rooting in any case.

I'm not sure which X arcade controller you have, but from the X Arcade website it says that the joystick acts like a keyboard and the trackball acts as a mouse. It also says it's 100% compatible with any operating system. Based on this it should be recognized on the MOJO. It did say that you need two USB connections, one for the joystick and one for the trackball. The MOJO has only a 2.0 and 3.0 USB ports, so keep that in mind. Until Kit Kat comes out, you need to have the bluetooth dongle in the MOJO for their controller to work.
On a side note, on the Madcatz website they have a 20% off code for the MOJO until July 1st, so you could save 40 bucks on it now. I really like the MOJO. It has a few issues, but for gaming on it's been awesome. Reliving some of my old Playstation games atm on the MOJO with FPSE emulator and works great.

I've barely used my mojo as I haven't got my hands an a male to male yet . But have you tried using something like USB/BT joystick centre?

[Q] Multiplayer support in M.O.J.O.

M.O.J.O. is advertised as having "MULTIPLAYER SUPPORT – Connect two or more gamepads for multiplayer games". Has anyone ever tried this feature succesfully? Is there really any android games out there that support offline multiplayer on the same device?

Thanks for the info, gwaldo. It never cross my mind.
Which emus did you use successfully with your 2nd Ctrlr? And how do you set it up? Did you plug the dongle into the USB 2.0 port?

I mostly use the N64 (Mupen64), PS1, PSP, snes, Sega mega drive, I forget their names just google and try them out..
But emulators on android have great controller mapping, so it doesn't matter what 2nd controller you have, you can map it (configure the buttons/sticks) and play it , the N64 support 4 players!
IE as explained here:
http://www.howtogeek.com/141052/how...hysical-controller-on-your-android-phone/all/
I'm hoping gameloft can do controller mapping one day!!
The mojo controller needs the USB dongle (yes I keep it on USB2 unless I have need to use a HDD), the retail controller is BT2 so it doesn't need it, but I prefer the mojo ctrlr because the middle button activates the background apps, where as the retail controller doesn't.

I just found out that we can play Badland in coop and multiplayer mode with 2nd controller. I use Ipega PG-9025 as my 2nd controller and connect with bluetooth. Hope that more android games will support this.

[Q] Does the Nexus Player's Controller work on OUYA?

I was about to the buy the Nexus Player, along with the controller, and I was wondering if someone could test the controller on the OUYA. I really like the Nexus Player's controller, so I was wondering if it can be used to replace to the OUYA controller?

Idk, But if/when they release kernel source you could probably port the controller to ouyas kernel if you had to

Will the ouya or ps4 controllers work on Nexus player. God I hope so. I have 4 ouya and 4 ps4 controllers. I can't afford to buy any more controllers.

Does anyone have an answer for this?

By default, the Ouya controller does not work very well, the button mapping is all messed up. Once we get root, I can add the proper keyboard layout files from the Ouya and let you know if that works. At least it pairs just fine.

Ps4 controller does not work
I've tried a bunch of times to get the PS4 controller to work, but I cannot get it to pair over bluetooth and I don't have a usb otg cable to see if it works over usb. :/

Do you have the nexus player gamepad? Can it pair with OUYA and play games?

I do not have a Nexus Player gamepad. I already have 4 Ouya gamepads, so I thought getting another one was just too much.

I've got the nexus gamepad delivered to me yesterday and although I haven't tested pairing it with the ouya yet, I'm pretty sure that the button mapping will be messed up. I have paired it with my note 10.1 2014 and it works great! Especially with Limelight (whatever the newest root ver is)

Yup, as said above, it DOES pair, but the mapping is all messed up. One of the keypad buttons maps to 'back', not had the triggers working in anything. But some games have still been playable.
Hope someone gets this working as it's also quite good to have the touchpad area to move around too.
Oh, the other thing is both the standard gamepad and the ouya gamepad when paired show as the same controller (ie, player1). Not sure where the other ouya pad I've got is to see if that turns up as player2.

Any chance to have android 10?

Hello all. I've got this tablet and i like it a lot. I've been perfectly fine with it on stock use.
The thing is, I use the ps4 remote play a lot and for it to work with the PS4 controller the android version needs to be 10 for some reason.
Is there a way to make this tablet version 10?
Thanks!
