Sixaxis Controller Support - Xperia Z2 Tablet General

So just went through the process of setting up my tablet with my ps3 controller and have to say its awesome. I took a few steps that aren't required to be thorough but guiding someone else to do it would be a breeze. Played a few rounds of WoT Blitz and have been much happier with the controller instead of the touch controls. Thank God for "Droid Does"

I have tried a couple of games but am put off by there being no way to map the buttons. I used to use sixaxis app to use the ps3 controller on my note 10.1 and although it was a pain in the arse to set up mapped profiles for each game, gameplay was a lot better.

This is what i did for key mapping.

That's what I did on my note 10.1. The whole point of getting the z2 tablet was because it supports ps3 natively. If I've got to use a third party app to use the ps3 controller then I may as well stick to my note as it's a more capable tablet than the z2.

Sorry I just saw this, its up to the game developers to enable the controller in their games. I can connect fine through Sony's app, but Sixaxis allows me to play any game even if they don't want controller support.

Trouble is to use sixaxis i need to be rooted, which on my note was fine as i always had custom ROMs on all my Samsung devices but I've left my z2 and z2 tablet stock unrooted.

There's a few easy workarounds for root on z2, I didn't bother doing a full flash of anything.

No, I use my tablet to watch tv at night when I go to bed. Can't have tv on in the bedroom because of disturbing my parrot. His cage is in my bedroom and having the tv on wakes him up lol

[Q] Emulators?

How are emulators such as snesoid, gameboid, and psx4droid running on this? psx4droid or the other PS1 emulator running a lot better due to Tegra? Mine shipped today and will be here tomorrow and I'm just wondering...thanks!
FPSE is out for PSX emulation - it has worked well for Notion Ink Adam owners so far.

Yeah that's the one I meant. I've been playing around with it on my Droid X and it runs so much better than psx4droid. Do the emulators scale to the screen normally?
I havent personally tried yet as im waiting for my notion ink, but my friend has and says it works really well - you can choose the scaling in the options
awesome!
i just tried out pokemon fire red on gameboid. its hilarious to see it so big. lol. but it works great. scaling sound and controls are perfect.

Amazing lol
Bluetooth Wiimote controller app still work as well? I'll end up using this as a damn portable >_<
Any word on that nullDC Dreamcast emu port? Should run a hell of a lot better on this beast!
Emulators are working great! Fullscreen and everything.
hmm i havent tried the wiimote just yet. i'm mid homework so ill give that a run in a few. ive never beleived in touch screen emulation other that games like pokemon or yugioh card games because movement isn't all that important. i cant imagine trying to run something like god of war without physical buttons.
Would anyone be kind enough to post a pic of their Xoom running snesoid, or any other emulator in 16:9 full screen/4:3 fullscreen? Mine was just delivered at my house but I'm stuck at work for another 6 hours...kill me. Thanks!

Gensoid works perfectly as well. I haven't tried any other generation emulator yet (NES, PS1, etc).

Yeah SNESoid and Gensoid are the top two I would use anyway (born in late 80s lol). It'll be interesting to see that nullDC (Dreamcast emu port) running on this. I know someone has it semi-running on some older hardware and it should run pretty decent on this.
n64droid is also right around the corner...who needs apps? XD
i havent got an emulator yet and might with the xoom since it seems perfect for this kind of thing. Do you have to buy games once you get the emulator or do the games come with them? my xoom comes in today, its already in the city im just waiting for delivery

You have to find a site that you can download them from, not mentioning any since it might be against the rules here. I mean, there are apps where you can pay for a pack of roms, but it's just a total rip off.
I actually do own all the games (even the old carts) that I download roms for though, so I'm 100% safe either way =P

alright thanks for the info. Im pretty good at searching so im pretty sure i can find them. They dont have to be android specific right?
Nope, not specific. Only specific thing is the emulator per platform. I suggest trying out snesoid lite before buying to make sure everything goes good.
Can you use the wiimote with the xoom?

Hitting the shoulder buttons looks like it would be a *****. Other than that, looks great!
Just buy RomBuddy from the market. Works great, you pay a couple bucks for RomBuddy but then you can download a metric **** ton of free roms for gameboy/nes/snes/genesis and such from it.

Connect your Moga in Mode B. Once connected, start an app/game that you want to create a profile for. Once in the game, long press the Start button and overlay will appear on screen. Part of the overlay will be a toolbar with various icons on. Drag the function you want to assign to the screen and place it where you want (LS = left stick for example). Once you have placed something on screen, long pressing it will bring up a menu that allows you move the item or select other functions. For the analogue sticks you can use buttons Y and A to increase or decrease the size of the stick which will change the way it responds in game. Trial and error
thanks man, now time to play armoured aces on the tv happy days !

Cool
I was hoping to use the mapper with Modern Combat 3 but for some reason the Kit Kat update seems to have killed that particular game - it crashes after checking the licence which is really annoying...
I'm having a weird issue where I have to move the analogue stick up and down for left and right when a game map is in use. Is there a setting somewhere which will correct this?
UPDATE:
Figured out it's just on Real Racing 3 (I haven't got many games installed yet) and I presume it's down to the gyroscope problem which TN7 owners seem to have.
Hopefully RR3 will get a fix for that. Quite annoying though, as using the analogue stick on mapping instead doesn't seem to fully turn the virtual steering wheel so I can't get round corners, ha!

In case anyone is still interested, RR3 implemented controller support into the game. My Moga Pro works well.
The only issue is after the last OTA update from nvidia, the game is pretty much unplayable. All audio is horrifically choppy and the game feels a bit laggy too.
To say I'm really cheesed off is an understatement. I do love that game
According to me, EA does not love a Taiwanese Tegra, Nvidia

Shield games Portal and half life?

Just wondering if anyone had tried to run these, should work given that the note 7 is Tegra 4 right? Not sure about the controls though...

I tried with xbox 360 pad (rumblepad 2 didnt work (mapping problem)) and hl2 shut down on loading screen. Main menu work well. I think that maybe 1gb of ram on our tegra note.
I can play all the way through to the part where you jump out the window of the interrogation room (about five minutes in) but everytime I open that first door the game tries to load and then crashes. sucks because everything up to that point runs pretty damn well. it might be a lack of ram issue.
using a moga pro controller in B mode. didn't even have to map keys it just worked.

it's definitely a ram issue. I tried running a screen recording program to show you gameplay, and it would record just fine until the game tries to load. the game would crash and take the recording app and everything else along with it including my Bluetooth connection and ram monitor xposed module. if I start the game after a fresh boot and ram purge, the game will load fine and run buttery smooth until I get to a part where it needs to load again. sucks because it's perfect otherwise even on balanced power settings. nvidia really crippled the tablet with only 1gb of ram. even shield owners are complaining about the really long load times so it's no wonder the note doesn't stand a chance.

I reckon if we can debloat the ROM to make around 500mb free ram it would be perfect.... SO there can be a custom rom for hardcore gaming lol which is totally debloated with only a few services.... Thats what we need.... A very very very light custom rom!!:laugh:

I'll reinstall the game and upload a log by tonight.
Tried Portal tonight and seemed to work fine (I managed the first few levels) unfortunately there is some sort of glitchy overlay blocking most of the screen. The game behind is running just fine though. Will see if I can grab a screenshot.
:EDIT: Just gave HL2 a shot and seems to work just fine, played about an hour with no crashes/issues. The odd stutter but that'll likely be due to the RAM differences.

What controller did you use? HL2 seems to run fine for me but I tried an xbox one controller with a USB otg cable and cannot map the analogue sticks.

I used a PS3 controller via an OTG cable. Xbox 360 controller would just spin and spin. Unfortunately though after a while the game would crash on HL2.
We would need a kernel whit swap support. Memory speed of tegra note is 11 MB ,with roehsoft ramexpander is possible expand up to 4 GB.

yep, i think it works fine. you just have to make sure you have a very good connection
Well maybe I'm doing something wrong but I don't have the same seamless experience as you guys.
I can use Remote play but I have often "lag","loss of connection","really bad quality image" etc... knowing that my PS4 is connected through ethernet and my Z3C was connected through wifi (and I was just next to my router).
I'll try to fiddle with some parameters and whatnot but for now my experience with remote play is not really satisfying :crying:

Well it's on private nework so I'd say 50mbit/s ps4<->router and roughly the same for z3c <-> router on wifi.
I don't think it's due to some problem in my network because I tried "share play" with a friends who took control of my console (remotely) and everything was working properly.
But maybe there's something I did not configured properly because others seem to have it working properly.

Stock modded rom with stock gamepad mapper?

Hello all don't know if this has been asked and answered already. Does anyone know if there's a stock rom with the shield tablet gamepad mapper implemented on it? Would love to play PUBG again with my friends without being banned. I remember the stock mapper on the shield tablet was awesome and super customizable like the defunct Sixaxis app (R.I.P.)

this is interesting, do you have any examples of the shield gamepad mapper? i'm trying to do some ****s for the stadia app, and it's horrific usb manipulation to allow the stadia controller to gain access within the app... long story short, this app you speak of may be mutually beneficial and if you can show me it I can find it and see if i can get it to work in 2019 pro
