Since V3.1 (and still with V3.2) I am experiencing Sporadic disconnections with my nvidia remote control and my 2 nvidia game controllers. Most of the time they will fix themselves but it's quite frustrating when it happens right in the middle of playing a game (Hill Climb Racing, SNES emulator actually reports controller disconnect and reconnect on screen).
I've tried on numerous occasions to "forget" and re-pair all the controllers but it doesn't seem to help.
Any ideas or suggestions ?? This happening to many others ? Should I contact nvidia ?

On the nexus player how many players(gamers) can play at the same time? i mean how many controllers can we pair at the same time to this device? i would like to pair 2 asus game controllers or maybe 3 or 4.
but i imagine i can only pair one...i have never pair 2 bluetooth devices to other device at the same time.

I have the Asus controller and a Moga Pro connected at the same time. Only game I've found that's 2 player tho is GP2. Double Dragon needs the second player to use their phone.
Google website for the official controller says 4 but good luck finding a game that will even work with 2.
As I discovered browsing around, looking at documentation, etc, games have to be coded to support multiple players/game pad inputs. If the game doesn't support it, then all game pad inputs are interpreted as a single input (all players controlling the same character, etc). If you find a game you want single device multiplayer support (ie: double dragon) then the developers need to add that feature. Android does support multiple players input, so you can connect multiple game pads.
3 playing bomb squad
we've tried bomb squad with 2 game pad + 1 remote on nexus7
the remote is a little lag
though the game is wondful
I've installed full Android on my shield TV. I have an issue with extreme lag using a ps4 and shield gamepads usb wired. Its very strange because in the stock Android interface everything works flawless. But when I use GeForce Now i get extreme lag on button presses where i have to hold face buttons for about 2 seconds to get a response. But this only happens when a game is loaded. When im in the GeForce Now Menu my conttoller works and response is fine. Same thing with RetroArch. Ive tried bluetooth with my PS4 controller and I get the same result.
Also, how would i be able to get my Shield gamepad working wirelessly?? I heard something about using with droidmote client server but its not really clear to me.
Can somebody help me figure this out? I switched to Full Android for more freedom and apps but if I cant use my controllers then i will have to revert to rooted stock firmware for my shield.
You're probably going to want to go back to stock firmware then. There is no fix for getting the Nvidia wireless controllers working with Full Android. This is due to the closed source nature of the wireless controller drivers.
But what about other controllers like PS4? I heard PS4 can work wirelessy and Shield controller can work wired
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.
This is my first time trying to connect a Bluetooth controller to the MZF, I am reading all over online about how to get this 8bitdo zero controller to actually work. I have to ask this here though because I'm hoping someone has experience with connecting any kind of game controller. I have tried RetroArch, SNESdroid and SuperRetro16 as my emulators as well as the app that came with the controller and I have had no luck actually getting it to work. Has anyone had success with any kind of controller? Is this an issue if needing root?
I have the 8bitdo nes30 pro and just have to turn it on and it works fine. I also have the gamesir g3s and same thing. Read the manual to make sure you are properly turning it on as most of them support multiple modes and if you turn it on in the wrong mode it will not work, and it looks like you just have to press start and nothing else. I dont use those emulators...try downloading john nes lite and see if that works to rule out emulator compatability.
Hi everyone, new to this section, I have a mojo gamepad that is struggling to connect and work with games on my android tv box, I read from these forums that the mojo is different and cant be upgraded to sort issues with bluetooth and games.
So my natural question is can this gamepad be flashed to a CTRLR as it has a micro usb and some programmable software presumably is there any way to do this, it could be a good general android game pad but mine has so many gaming issues that it barely works, also these profiles are there any preconfigured as I cant find any for 3d games like shadowgun, MC4 etc.
Thanks for any support or help on this.

Any ideas on hacking or updating the controller at all, trying different android apps in the hope of getting better use out of the controller.
Thanks
