I am trying to get a 4th controller to work on reicast for my NVidia Shield TV. I am trying to add it through the input screen where controllers can be configured. First three controllers work. Every time I try to add a 4th controller manually, reicast crashes.
This has happened on the play store version as well as the newer version r7. I am using three android gamepads connected via blue tooth and one wired Xbox 360 controller. Each controller works when it is assigned to controller 1 to 3. Any time I try to manually add one as a 4th controller, it crashes. Would appreciate if anyone has already dealt with this problem before and how to fix? I want to play 4 player Power Stone 2!

I wanted to post a quick note about game controllers for the Note.
Can't speak for everybody, but I have found in hard to find definitive information on what gamepads will or won't work with the Note. I had previously tried all different combinations. Xbox wired controllers. Wiimotes over bluetooth, and even 2 different Onlive controllers. In all cases the results were mixed.
So, I sort of gambled and bought a Wired Sony Sixaxis controller. It works perfectly! This is a Sony branded official Playstation controller.
For the record, its a wired version, I connected to the Note with an USB OTB adapter. It connects from the mini USB port with a female USB end.
I was able to use the controller for several Android Market games, including Grand Theft Auto, and Shadowgun. Also, I connected to Onlive and was able to use the controller without issue.
I have not tried any emulators (not my thing) and I found at least one game that "should" work does not. That's PES 2012. In fairness, I may not have the right version. In theory, anything Xperia Play Optimized on the Market should work.
The best part was that I got the controller for $30 at my local gamestop.
Hope this helps someone.
Don't know if this works with wired controllers but has some nice extra features for wireless sixaxis controllers.
- Keyboard emulation. Map all buttons and sticks to almost any key available in Android.
- Mouse emulation. Configure a button to activate the mouse pointer on devices that support mice (most tablets, and many phones should work).
- Touch emulation allows you to map buttons and analog sticks to the screen. Play all your favourite games with full analog support, even those without built-in controller support!

Have seen this but haven't tried it, looks like it adds the same features as the sixaxis app.

How did you get SixAxis and the PS3 controller to work on Shadowgun?
I have the app, PS3 controller and connect wirelessly via Bluetooth. The controller paired just fine with my AT&T Note. I fired up Grand Theft Auto and the controller works just fine with no additional setup.
For Shadowgun, though, nothing works.
I have not used my Ouya for some time. Today when I tuned it on it installed an update and now my USB controllers (other than my F310 and that only works in xInput/xBox mode) that were working before are not working. They still work on my computer but not the Ouya.
Am I the only one having this or even the only one using none xbox/PS3 controllers on the Ouya?
i have a similar problem...now my ps3 controller is always recognise as first player no matter what i do...so when i wanna play with a friend i cant cause both pad (ouya one) and ps3 one are first players at same time...this is pretty annoying!!!! any tip to fix it???
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
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.
Just wanted to know if there has been any updates on the Nvidia Shield TVs' support for the Xbox One S controller? I don't really like the feel of the Shield controller and I've always liked the Xbox controllers, so I'm considering purchasing a couple of them to use for GameStream on the Nvidia Shield.
I've read posts on here and various other forums about how well this controller works, and came to the following conclusion:
#1: You need to update the controller to the latest firmware to fix button mapping.
#2: The controller needs to be re-paired each time the Shield reboots.
#3: Rumble doesn't work.
Is #2 and #3 still the case? Or has that been solved recently? If not, can you recommend me another wireless controller that works well with the Shield?
