What is NOT interesting about it?
I would love to use a sixaxis (or any other controller) for n64 emulators, snes emulators, psx emulators and so on. using the touchscreen as controller is ruining the experience and potential of emulators.
BTW, if you dont have anything constructive or informative to write in these forums, stfu.
On topic:
I got to borrow my friends PS3 controller:
The buttons wont hold in snes emulator, like if you run forward pressing |> and the press X to jump at the same time, I'll have to repress again after the jump |> to keep running in supermario It may be the emulator that does not support "multitouch" so I'll report back tomorrow when I'll buy my own PS3 controller.
Anyone know if the XBOX 360 controller will work w/USB host adapter?

No I mean wouldnt it be better to read and learn and gain more knowledge that will be helpful to your future?
I have read, learned, and gained knowledge. And I can honestly say that using a ps3 controller for emulators running on my tab is going to be ****ing awesome for my future!
Shouldn't you be working on that taskbar color?

Aspie much? Who cares?
Alright, sent and e-mail and got a reply. A bug in the program. Updated and now can connect with PS3 controller. Everything is working smoothly, running splendidly on n64oid 2.1.

I appreciate that information
What ROM's have you tried that is working smooth?
I've tried Super Mario 64, Wave Race 64, Golden Eye and Mario Kart 64.
They all run without hickups or any lag!
Pilot Wings 64 on the other hand gives me black polygons and crackling audio noises.
Should there be a separate thread for Emulator ROM's maybe?
Hey,
I'm having trouble pairing my controller with my Tab,
I installed the Sixaxis Pair Tool and i entered the Bluetooth Mac Address of my Tab (I didn't find it in the actual app, when i pressed Start, on the Tab but i had to enter Android Settings and About.
Anyway, under Current Master it shows the Bluetooth Mac Address of my Tab, i then unplugged the controller, pressed the PS button, and pressed Start in the App on the Tab and it says Connection Initiated.... and thats it, the controller is blinking but it doesn't seem to wanna connect to the Tab
Any help would be appreciated
P.S. I followed the instructions on http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/instructions.html
Fixed it with a restart of my Tab, apparently my tab wasn't asking for root until i rebooted,
Great app by the way
My controller is being recognized by the N64oid app when i have to configure the inputs. When I go to play a game though, it won't recognize the controller.
Best money spent on my TAB so far Working perfectly with Snes9x EX.
i followed everything and the app says connection established however, my controller doesn't stop blinking any thoughts? should I just assume that this app doesn't work with samsung devices at all?

I had a problem with mine not registering input even after following the setup and my lights saying it was connected as controller 1. I deleted the sixaxis compatibility checker and then rebooted, started the connection, hit the ps button, and selected sixaxis controller as input and it worked flawlessly. If you're 100% positive you're doing everything word for word and changed the sixaxis' bluetooth address to match your tab's then try a reboot and see if it fixes it.
So the controller finally works. When you enable IME in N64oid the controller will start working. I don't know if anyone else noticed, but does the software support full analog control? I can't get Mario to stop running at full speed even thought i am pushing the stick only a little .
If you are having trouble getting the controller started do this....
Download and SixAxisPairTool on your pc.
Plug the controller into your pc with the usb cable that came with the ps3.
Hit the power button on the controller. A set of numbers will show on top with a empty box below.
On the tablet, run SixAxis Controller. There will be a bluetooth address at the bottom of the screen. Copy these numbers/letters into the sixaxispairtool on your pc.
Unplug the controller, hit start on the controller app on the tablet and hit the power button on the controller. Hit configure input settings and switch to ps3 controller.
You should be all set to go! Good Luck!
The sixaxis works great with every emulator I have tried it with so far. Are there any non-emulator apps that anyone has got working? Any android games that are not emulators? If there are some, then maybe we need to get a list going of what apps work with the sixaxis controller and which ones do not.
I am also all in favor of getting a list of what rom's work for each system.
I have tested mario kart and 007 for N64 and they both work. I have also tested nba jam tournament edition for snes and that works. I am really bummed because cruisn usa will not work in the n64 emulator. The screen is off to the left. Has anyone else tried that one? I love playing cruisn usa.

In N64oid or whichever emulator you are running, go to settings, other settings, and then tick the box for "Use input method"
I'm having the same issue as amarp84
pairing is fine, bluetooth address is fine, connection is established no worries and it says that there is a client connected, but the lights won't stop blinking and sync to a controller port
i'm on 10.1v ... anyone else got it working on the tab so i know if it's just me?
I works great on my tab 10.1.
Anyone get keys to map with N64oid? I cant get multiple joysticks, they all map as DPAD down etc so i cant use seperate joysticks
I have been searching for a while as to how I can use my wii remote with classic controller hooked up to it for FPSe. It works for PSX4Droid, until I updated to 2.3.3 GB on Droid X2. (Rooted) FPSe 0.10.54. This was great to have when PSX4Droid worked, seems it will no longer be updated. Basically I could sync up my DX2 with my wii, plug in the classic controller, then map the buttons accordingly in the emulator. But with FPSe it only allows specific controllers it seems.
Anywho, the only options I have for "Bluetooth Pad Port 1/2" are: Zeemote, IcontrolPad and BGP100. There is no option for Wii. I am also using WiimoteController App, everything is setup properly, I just cant use wii on FPSe. I even went into FPSe.ini and changed all the mapping for the wii manually. It's like they wont talk to each other. Input device is wii also (Where is asks Swype, Keyboard, Wiimote etc etc)
Hopefully you can help! Thx!

I was under the assumption that they were the same, but I'll give it a shot. What do you select under inputs and such (Bluetooth Pad Port 1, Pad Type) to get it to work? A small detailed how to would be outstanding. Been pulling my hair out over this one. Thanks for you help!
EDIT: I open FPSe, start the game (FF Tactics), enter settings then input. My only options for "Bluetooth Pad port 1" are BGP100, Zeemote and iControlPad. I have tried each of those, basically every combo of everything I think. WiiController is also active as my input. When I go into Hardware keys to assign the keys, its as if the wii controller isnt there. So I manually mapped the Wii buttons in the FPSe.ini file. Still nothing.
Going to give https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mercury.inputmethod.wpad&feature=search_result a shot in a few. Thx!

Ok, I purchased this app, installed it, swiched input to this app (instead of keyboard), connected the Wiimote by pressing 1 & 2 for sync mode, verified controller was working.
Then I loaded up FPSE, still doesnt not recognize the Wiimote in the settings. I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong in the whole deal. Is FPSE supposed to connect to the Wiimote automatically? Am I supposed to configure the settings under Input in settings? In settings I have these options: Pad Type (Analog, Digital, Guncon)..... Bluetooth Pad Port 1 (iControlPad, Zeemote, BGP100, Disabled) ..... Hardware keys, to manually map the buttons of the above controllers I suppose, since I cant get it to work.
Does anyone have a good working version of PSX4Droid they can send me? lol I'm tired of messing with this, but will do basically whatever it takes to make it work. Aside from purchasing some other controller, cant justify that to the wife.
Sorry for the noob questions and thanks for all the help!
EDIT: I'll try to get some screen shots soon, if needed.

This sounds like an issue with whatever FPSE is, you should send an email to the guy that makes it if you actually want helpful advice. I may be wrong but seems no one here is an expert on that app

I must have a bad version of FPSE, followed this to the t to no avail. FPSE was given to me by a work friend to try out since psx4droid broke. Now the market thinks I paid for it. Could this be an issue? I have V 10.54 I think. Been reading forums @ FPSE as well, its 110 pages tho.

Try uninstalling updates and uninstall the program.
Sent from the coolest voided warranty phone ever.
As it turns out, update 2.3.3 broke both of my emulators ability to talk to the Wii controllers. I read something about "Bluetooth stack 2.0" in another thread, not sure what it means, but it sounds like it happened to me possibly. Before the update (rooted) everything worked. After the update, the controllers still connect to Wiimote and Wii Controller, but once the game is loaded it's like the controllers are dead.
Anyone else have this issue after update? FPSE and PSX4Droid do not work now. Actually, FPSE works, wont talk to Wiimote. PSX4Droid flat out broke, will not load games. I tried uninstall/reinstall of everything several times. Same results.

Anyone using FPSe with wiimote care to share their FPSE.ini file?
/data/data/com.emulator.fpse/files/fpse.ini
EDIT: The update to 2.3.3 had to have broken it. Everything worked great prior to that. Just checked on my old D1 and it all worked great. No need for the ini file now, I transfered the one created on my D1 and it was no good. Thanks for your help guys.
I went through the process of pairing my ps3 controller to the tabs bluetooth and got it to connect and respond using six axis app. But then I can't make it do anything else - when I press a button nothing happens no matter how I redefine the keys. I noticed that the website said it may not work with new samsung devices but someone reviewing the app said it worked fine. Any hints on how to get it to work? Do I need a non-samsung rom?

Can you give a bit more info? What Rom and Kernel are you using? What software did you use to connect them? People will help if you give them relevant info.
I am using the six axis controller app from the market. On stock touchwiz with the latest small update applied and rooted (UEKME). You have to be rooted for the app to work at all.
Do you want to navigate through the Android OS or do you want to play games with it? Most regular games don't work with the PS3 controller. Usually people use the controller to play roms with emulators. There you can map the buttons to actions in the settings menu to play the game.
As for the Android OS navigation, as far as I know only the directional buttons work to navigate the home screen and some menues but that's it. You could try mapping different functions to the buttons right from the sixaxis app. It should work if you select the right options.
Update: I resolved the issue with a restart... The program now works perfectly for gaming (including using both analogue sticks eg for N64). In theory you can map any key or function to the buttons but it would be hard work actually doing anything else but gaming. I definitely recommend the below app, though:

Good evening, ladies and gents of XDA! I'm new to the forums so please forgive me if I'm crossing some lines. I've attempted to look for a similar problem not only on XDA, but through Google as well, but have turned up with no luck. Without further adieu, this is the issue I'm having:
I've read that the Transformer Prime natively supports the Wireless XBox 360 controller. Unfortunately for me, this does not seem to be the case. The buttons do work as I can navigate through the menu with my joystick and the green ring around the menu button flashes (which I'm told is also supposed to happen unless I have the Joystick Center 5 app).
Despite my tablet being able to read my controller, the button mappings are all out of whack. I tried playing OnLive with it and none of the buttons aside for the joystick does what it's supposed to do. I've tried restarting my tablet, but this was met with no avail. I've even purchased the aforementioned Joystick app, but remapping the buttons was unsuccessful. Does anyone know why this "native support" isn't kicking in for me?
I had the same problem, Android supports the controller but most of the games seem not to. I had the official 360 wireless controller with the official wireless receiver, and could only use it for navigating homescreens, icon by icon. Couldn't even go to the next homescreen without first highlighting everything along the way
PS3 one works perfectly on the 2 games I have that I know about them using the controller: GTA3 and Shadowgun.

Hey please can you give me some information on how the wireless controller works?
I was thinkin about buying a wireless controller like logitech F710 or whichever works...but I don't know what else I need. Please can you give me details of what I need and how to Install it to the Asus Transformer Prime...thank you.
Hi,
As there are a few apps that support gamepads, but none of them seem to work as well as needed...
I have 2 original PS3 controllers and one Logitech Chillstream PS3 controller. I haven't tried original ones, but I got an USB adaptor gor my galaxy tab 8.9 and connected it... I can see the controller and even mess around with it on home screen and some other places, but I also use an app called XPadder on PC.
As I suck at coding stuff, it's nearly impossible for me to do. I'd like a way to remap stuff, or select areas on screen to map to buttons on the controller. so that it'd be possible to play every game with it.
The only extremely hard thing seems to be running it in the background with full support...
It's just an idea thou... I will not be able to make this... maybe someone could actually do it...
Thanks,
J
I forgot to add that I'm running Android 3.2 with _motley kernel @1400Mhz
