Hi guys, spent a few days trying to get my Xbox one controller working with the z5 for emulators etc and managed to sort it. You will need an otg cable, Xbox one controller and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.free.usbjoyfree .
First plug the Xbox one controller into the phone via the otg cable and turn it on.(turn off Xbox one at wall before) then open the slide down settings and select "detect usb device". now open usbjoyfree and press the search button on the left and grant it permission to connect to the controller. Next select the Xbox one controller profile and check the button work when pressed. Now click on IME in the top left of usbjoyfree and select usbjoyfree as the input device.
Your controller should now work with epsxe and n64 emulators etc.
Make sure you turn IME back to the keyboard when not playing games as the keyboard won't show up
Hope it helped a few people. The app should also work with xbox360 and other controllers too.
Peace, Davey P
Also you don't need root, only need root for touchscreen emulation ie, mapping controller to games that have on screen controlls that are normally not supported by controllers. But fine for emus

So I've been toying around with my PS3 controller, and Transformer (plus dock) all morning and for the life of me I can't get it working correctly.
From every article I've read you should just be able to plug it in and go, but whatever was working for those guys clearly is missing from my own Transformer.
Anybody else been able to get it working?
I'm also wondering if my dock didn't update along with the 3.1 like it was supposed to. I remember updating the tablet, but there was never a separate dock update like there has been previously.
I'm running version EP101-0209
Is that the newest version?
I noticed that it only works with certain games natively or you would need to map the buttons through the game's OPTION (if available). The only native supported game I had found is called "Cordy" which you can download and play from market for free. It would also be a good start to test your controller though.
Anyway when they claimed that it supports PS3 controller, I think they meant via the USB port and not via BT. The only BT supported controller is the Wiimote but you need to download a new IME to run with it. Hope this helps, cheers !
PS3 controller with USB cable works perfectly in the dock. I tested it with SNESoid and cordy.
99% of market games will not work with any controller, they have to actually be coded for it to work. if the game has a key binding setting (like the emulators) then your good cause you can bind it and set everything up.
I also couldn't get it to work then realized you have to actually turn on the controller (long press PS logo) for it to work. doh

I should have mentioned I've been trying to get it working with SNESoid to no avail. It's not that it's entirely non-functioning rather it just doesn't read the buttons correctly.
Despite remapping it's very janky and, for example, the start button always goes to the home screen and triangle force closes the game.
Was there anything special you did to get it working with SNESoid or was it just plug in and go?
I know I've been having similar issues with PS3 controllers on 3.1. The controller would be detected, would get all the keys mapped, but I haven't found any emulator/game that reads any input from the right joystick. All other buttons and the right one work perfectly. Tried it on two Sony Six Axis controllers and a wireless logitech with a usb dongle. All 3 do the same things

don't think i did anything special. took a bit for it to finally recognise it but then i bound everything and i had no issues. no issues with start or triangle.
Been playing on mine with the PS3 controller and some roms. pretty damn awesome!
I connected my ps3 controller and its not working with anything. Not cordy or any of my emulators key remap working atall. What am I doing wrong here. All I get is 4 lights blinking
I know there are videos of XBox 360 and Playstation controllers working with the Transformer and 3.1, but has any one here actually got it working?
I have the dock, and have tried two different generic usb2 game controllers (PS3 style), and have tried both ports on the dock, but I dont get any notification pop up or menu options in settings, and none of my games react to the controller inputs?
am I missing something?
cheers.
Hey there. I just got fpse, an emulator app that allows you to play PS1 games on various devices. I just plugged in my PS3 controller and it began to work flawlessly on my transformer after i had assigned keys to the different buttons within the app. No notification came up after plugging in, so i dont know if the controller can be used just like that (i.e. moving the mouse around on the home screen , etc)
Edit: i can move the homescreen around with the directional pad as well as the left joystick, but it is very delayed and buggy
the PS3 controller works, and most USB gamepads should. Xbox 360 one does not right now. Asus bug.
however, outside of emulators and cordy most games have no gamepad support.
best way to test is to download cordy or side load an emulator and go into the key binding. if you can bind a key to the controller then it works.
I have Cordy, I'll give that a go later, Thanks.
(I have tried it in Pocket Racing and Meganoid with no luck though.)
Tried my USB game pad with Cordy last night but no luck.
guess i'll have to try a PS3 controller if I can borrow one.
I don't have a dock. Does PS3 controller work via bluetooth?
My wiimote works great by using the app - WiimoteController via bluetooth connection.

No, it has to be plugged into one of the USB ports on the dock.
tried my xbox360 controller and it didn't work..the green ring on the controller kept blinking and none of the keybindings would work..
then I tried my other generic gamepad (still xbox360 style), D-PAD seems functioning but button 5-9 and LT/RT didn't..
haven't tried ps3 controller yet..but heard one of my friends said it works flawlessly
No bluetooth connection? That's so stupid! I have to sit very close to my lcd TV if I export my eeepad via hdmi.

Very stupid too! Why wiimote can do this but ps3 or xbox controller don't? They suppose to use similar bluetooth technology. Am I right? Now this update is useless for me and other tablets which don't have an usb port. It sucks!

so it was my understanding that an innate ability of 3.1 was that it allowed us to plug in controllers, including PS3 and 360, and play witht hem. I plugged in my PS3 controller, expecting some sort of "input detected" message, but nothing. theredoesn't seem to be anything in the settings to configure or connect a device, either.
how do we do this? I know there are some emulators that have released updates with controller compatibility in the changelog.
As far as i kmow you camt connect a 360 controller. To connect a ps3 controller u need sixaxis controller. Its a paid app in the market.

I connected my wireless xbox360 controller using the PC dongle. I never got any message, it just worked. There are videos showing how to do it.
I can also confirm if you plug in a usb xbox 360 controller it works almost instantly
Using the xBox wireless usb adapter for PC to play emulators on my a500 3.1. Works like a charm.
The app to support the PS3 Sixaxis controller is only needed if you use it over bluetooth. It works without that program plugged in by USB. Bluetooth support is cool, but you need a PC as part of the pairing process for the controller.
Doing something with the controllers is something different though ... most emulators allow you to map the controller keys to the game, but you need to set them up in the emulator.

does anyone have any tips on disabling the home and back keys on the android while using a different input method? I connected s wired xbix 360 controller to my tablet and I can bind some buttons for emukators but other buttons on the controller are bound to home and back so when I try and use those bbuttons in the emulator they either close or worse I can't even bind the buttons because I'm pressing back. I also am unable to use the right thumbstick for input. Any suggestions and/or help?

Use an app called bt/USB joystick controller (just search "joystick" in market.) Its a paid app but about 60p and well worth it. I use it with my wired and wireless Xbox pad.
It has custom profiles for all different pads and means all ure buttons work. The UI isn't massively clear but once its set up its a doddle You basically tell ur device that input method is not touch screen keyboard, but instead your pad.
Best part is that I use my pad for some proper games (ie not emulators) and its great. Gta is awesome on it.
Awesome app but I'm having troubke configuring my analog sticks would you ir anyone happen to have a driver for a wired 360 controller appsrentky you can export profiles.
I was surprised that a ps3 controller when plugged in with the USB and it just worked

I just loaded up the standard control profile for wired 360 pad. Analogue sticks work fine though I think it treats them as digital. Did see there was option for some analogue settings within the program

I think he os asking you to export your setting for the wired 360 to load up on the ps3 controller. If not idblike to see it to try onlive with it

Many games, including Grand Theft Auto III have built-in coding for controllers. I plugged my PS3 controller in and it worked perfectly.

Does it matter if you're on a custom ROM or OC'd? I couldn't get my PS3 controller to work on GTA 3 using the Epiphany ROM.

I might be wrong but the gamepad support comes from the kernel. Maybe inquire with the Dev, just a question are you plugging the ps3 in with USB?

Has anybody tried connecting a wireless controller? (in a fashion similar to how you'd connect a wireless controller to a PC)

I can hook the wireless dongle for xbox360 controller up and get some functionality with the controller, but the thumbsticks won't work in gta3.

Hi everyone! This might be a long post, but I figured I'll give as much detail as I can in the first post. I recently got an Nvidia Shield TV over the holidays and I've been loving it, incredibly powerful device that's totally exceeded my expectations. However I've been having one nagging issue, and that is in the topic of getting 4 controllers to work through Gamestream/Moonlight.
To give a quick background on what I'm working with - I have a Shield Gamepad with an official Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless USB Receiver and 3 Xbox 360 Gamepads.
With Gamestream, multi controller support doesn't seem to work at all. When disabled, the Shield Gamepad works perfectly without a hitch in single player games. However, as soon as I turn it on through the menu, the controller instantly stops working. I can still navigate the menus of Gamestream, but the actual input of my controller is no longer being sent to my PC in the other room.
Now, Moonlight seems to solve this problem, but only partially. Installed with no customizations, Moonlight will support multiple controllers, but will stop at 3, meaning that I can have my Shield Gamepad and two Xbox 360 controllers functional, but the last controller's input will not go through, even though it is connected to the receiver and able to send inputs to the Shield itself.
I am able to get all 4 controllers working simultaneously with Dolphin, Mupen64Plus AE, ePSXe... You get the picture. It works GREAT with everything, but I have these weird issues whenever I try to get this to work with the official Gamestream app and Moonlight.
I've tried even hooking up a wired Xbox 360 controller to the Shield in an attempt to fix both issues, but the same thing happens. Weirdly enough, when I go to my PC and hook up a controller, then that controller can take over the 4th controller slot! But then you have 3 people gaming in one room with the last player in a completely separate room using the PC.
Thank you so much for reading!
TL;DR - Gamestream multi controller support doesn't function at all, no controller input will go through. Moonlight only supports 3 controllers, but for some reason not 4. Using Shield Gamepad + Xbox 360 Controllers.
Anybody know the solution? I'm still running into issues with this

when you start a stream, as soon as the game starts, hold the Play/Pause button. A new menu will pop up and on the right side is a 3-dot menu. Select "multi-controller" enabled. You have to do this with each stream.
I just bought a 2nd Shield controller a couple days ago, and through my adventures trying to get multiplayer in gamestream i stumbled on this menu. Don't know why nvidia "hid" it in a menu rather than having a giant button on the screen or something.

The weird thing is that whenever I try that, controller inputs on Gamestream stop working entirely.
I guess that's partially irrelevant now though. My Gamestream app has decided to stop working entirely (claims my PC is asleep when it's not). I now use moonlight for all my Gamstreaming purposes, but am still running into issues with the 3 controller cap.
Hello guys
I have a Shield TV Pro and gamepads that are being recognized incorrectly.
The retro-bit Tribute 64 USB controllers are set to Dinput, but the Shield does not recognize this.
The gamepads work fine with another Android TV box.
Can I change something about the way the Shield manages the controllers so that the controllers are recognized as dinput controllers?
Maybe changing the controller library, or changing the USB driver?
The problem is that the start button on the controller is recognized by the Shield as a home screen button, which makes it impossible to use this button.
With apps like Button-Remapper I can only deactivate the button completely, but then I can no longer assign it because no input is recognized.
Nvidia support and controller support couldn't help.
