Mame4Droid app. How do I add coins and start using xbox controller? - Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The app seems to recognize thr controller just fine, but I have no idea how to insert coins to actually play any games. Ive tried every combination on the controller and even tried using a keyboard but nothing seemed to worked. Since this app is in the appstore and doesn't need to be sideloaded, there shouldn't be any reason why I can't get it working. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you map the keys?

I tried mapping them but im not sure what even needs to be mapped to insert a coin and/or start the game...

Just map the start and add coins to L and R. That's all you need. You won't be using those buttons anyways

I got it to work...Thanks!....
Now I have to find some .chd files that work. I got a couple roms to work, but tried Blitz 2K and it didn't seem to work :/ Is there a compatibility probably with some roms and the version of mame? How can I tell without downloading the file....Blitz 2K was like 650mb and it took what seemed like forever to download...

can i use a controller in 9mm

i just bought it can i use a wired or a wireless controller
wired 360
wireless ps3
i got both
Try .45 or maybe 40s&w =p
Seriously though,I don't quite understand the question... Is 9mm a game and are you asking if you can use a controller as an input device?

i mean i can use my xbox controller on Shadowgun and GTA3 also riptide so im asking if anyone found a way i can play it on 9MM
The game engine must support gamepad input, so no.

K900 if correct, each individual game will need to support the game pad device as an input. Let us know how it works out.

If your device is rooted you can use the sixaxis app with your ps3 controller and set up a touch profile to work with 9mm or any other game with on screen controls.

How did you set up gta3 with sixaxis? I bought it, and can't get it to work.

In sixaxis, hit the menu button > preferences > Edit Touch Profile > set up the buttons to match the on screen controls. To make button placement easier, take a screenshot of gta with the on screen controls up and then click change background from within the sixaxis edit touch profiles area. It's good to get a screenshot both in and out of a car so you can see what the controls are for both. Hope that helps.

i configed the touch in SixAxis and i cant get it to work right.
What doesn't work right? Are you rooted?

FOR GTA3: To use your dualshock3 controller, simply connect the controller via usb, press the PLAYSTATION button to pair and start playing (no need to open sixaxis). Another alternative would be using the touch profile in sixaxis, touch profiles also allow you to customize your keys.
I'm trying to create a sixaxis touch profile for 9mm, but I cannot take in-game screenshots of the on-screen control buttons. I'm using "screenshot it" and everytime i take a screenshot, the game automatically reload itself. I've also tried "screenshot" and that app doesnt even work. If anyone can take pictures of all the onscreen buttons in 1280x800 resolution, please share it so I can create a touch profile for it and of course i'll share it.
I was able to create touch profiles for the following games: gta3, backstab, and nova 2. I was able to configure it to work like in the console. If anyone want I can share touch profiles.

Have you tried using the built in Honeycomb screenshot tool? Settings > Screen > Put a check next to Screenshot. Then you just have to hold down the multitasking button to take a screenshot.

Would you mind posting them? There's already a thread Here.
And Here is the screenshot you wanted
Did you download 9mm from the Android Market? The only gameloft game that shows up on my tf is uno. I just bought MC3 for 99 cents on my gs2 and thought it would be awesome to play on the tab, but none of them show up... I just assumed incompatible. Do any other of their games show up for you?

I will start on 9mm when I have time. and regarding the 9mm screenshot that you've shared, is that all the buttons? it seems very little...
9mm Sixaxis Profile (Working)
Hi Everyone,
It seemed some people were saying 9mm would not work with the sixaxis controller, but I did get it working with my Acer Iconia A500. Attached is the screen shot which AyDee posted a link to in post #16. Works perfectly with the game.
Cheers

[Q] remap volume buttons to game shoot action

Hi,
I've been looking around for a way to re-map the up or down volume control to the FPS games shooting action (be able to shoot with the volume buttons instead of the virtual buttons)
is there any way to accomplish this?
Strange i was thinking about this yesterday. Would making fps games much better.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Well all the key mapping is on system/usr/keylayout you can open the files as a txt and try to change them although not sure if it's possible.
If the game is made to only react to onscreen touch events, no go as no buttons at all are queried so remapping won't do a thing there.
So I'm going to try this,
connecto a usb controller and see if the game reacts to the controller
using the app keynumberTrack I'll catchthe controller key code
then go to the configuration files and try to do something
hope to get good results, I'll post the outcome later
thanks folks!
Why don't you just use a controller via Bluetooth or OTG USB ?
How much punishment could the volume buttons take considering they would then be used many hundreds of times more than normal usage.

coz I dont want to carry around a game controller, If I'm on the bus where do I put the table?, or i'm at work (on my break time) I think is pretty much comfortable to hold the tablet an be able to press a button instead of connecting a game controller.
regarding the punishment on the button you may be right jeje but if we don't try we will never know
I just sent madfinger games a tweet. They are always open to suggestions.
I tweeted them last week to include a ping Meyer in the score menu and they said they will do that.
Maybe they can do this. Deadzone would be a killer with this feature.
I said maybe it could be an option to enable in the settings menu.

That`s great! Maybe they can give some light, we know that not all the android devices have the buttons on the same place but an in-game option to map the game action to a button will be perfect

No, but i think I can use my left hand in the same way as I use it to type or make the games go with my thumb, it will depend on the person's dexterity.
I wasnt able to get a OTG cable yet so I will try to make one and share the results

COD: Black Ops Zombies w/wii classic controller

I have COD: Black Ops Zombies for my Nexus 7 Android.
I'm wondering how I can use my Wii Classic controller to play? I have Bluez IME and WiimoteController
Is there any way of using a screen shot to map the buttons?
Install usb/bt joystick center...
Enable J >T to map buttons on screen
Youtube it.. Theres a video which shows how to map buttons through J>T. Its really easy
Ps. You have to pay for the app. Search the app on playstore to see if its compatible with your remote.. I remember seeing wii remote.

Hmm strange, I got it connected, and turned IME on, but when I turn J>T on, it says it can not star the joy2touch server beacuse root access failed.
Any ideas?

[Q] Can't get ps3 controller to work

I connect to it using the wire and it didn't work.
I tried rooting and using sixaxis but that didn't work either.
The six axis app works perfectly fine for me, are you sure you paired your controller correctly with the mac address provided?

Hi Sammath, did you try to make a profile with touch emulation and try this profile in a game? Because it does not work for me with galaxy S4. The touch emulation profile does not respond in the game. All the native supported joystick games work well but not the touch emulation.
Did you select the profile? The controller works for me lol. Do you have gamepad disabled in gamepad settings and selected the profile for the game you want to use it with? It works for me on all the games I play with the selected touch profiles. It also works with the emulators. Are you sure you selected a touch profile and it ain't set to none?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
Yes my profile is selected and i have gamepad disabled in gamepad settings. I can make it work with no problem with my nexus 7 and my ex galaxy s3 but no way with the s4. I thought it was an issue because of the HD screen of the S4 but if you can make it work, i do not understand.

There are 2 things that you can try. Not sure, but you might need root, I have not used either on a stock device, so I can't remember.
The first is tincore keymapper. It can map some things, but I don't know if it will help in this situation, as I am still trying to figure it out.
The other option is an app called onlive helper. I have used it in the past to map my onlive controller to work for the Zenonia series. I had to use another program to find the key codes my controller used, but I can remember which one (sorry). You edit a txt file with the mapping for the button press you want it to be.
I am not sure if this will work on the Ouya, as I have not tested it, but in theory it should, as long as you can figure out what to map the keys as.
