PLEASE do not kill me, but I can confrm that Wiimotes work. Dunno if Accesoires like a classic controller work though, not yet tested it.
I only have ps3 one and it seems highly integrated with the tablet now - nice status bar icon, easy way to disconnect, connect both wired and wireless way, navigates through the home menu, etc. I tried ps3 controller with onlive app and it works but directional buttons need long press for some reason, not a big problem as left analog stick seems to replace this functionality, also i believe a,b,x,y keys are swapped in places and do not correspond their physical location on ps3 controller. This was based on a couple of minutes play with lego batman and batman city

thanks..
any variations in controllers dual shack, sixaxis..sry i never used these so no idea wat should I buy
ONE MORE THING: I am more inclined towards Gametel as it can be used with Xperia Arc as well and its size quite small??

If you haven't got PS3 and need to buy something I would not know which one is best. I paired the first original ps3 controller which is a bit lighter but doesn't have vibrations. Haven't yet tried the ones with vibrations and don't know if vibration itself is supported by any of the games so may as well save on the weight.
For onlive I suspect their universal controller would be better because of the labeling of button corresponding their setup plus extra recording etc buttons. You can recharge both controllers from the tablet I think, but onlive may accept regular batteries instead as well - at least their non unoversal does. Don't know how it pairs and navigates through home screens.
Double check if the other one you are considering pairs via Bluetooth for wireless option.

ohk, going to order ps3 then..
one more thing, do I need to buy the OTG USB Adapter from Sony? or anyone will work??
EDIT:
I just came out from Sony Store, i came to know that PS3 controller only works with PS games...I tried Real Football 11 n some other android games, none of them worked with PS3 controller.
Finally I am going for GAMETEL CONTROLLER.

that is not true I have used my ps3 controller on none playstation games and it works great
I don't know about real Android games, but got my cable today, works with PS1 games, emulators and the system itself. Like PS3 taker said, highly integrated
edit:
And as everyone should know, games should be programmed to work with gamepads in general
can u try Real Football, bike stunts n some other good titles like Samurai Vengeance, Asphalt6, Tank Hero, etc..
sent via awesome aRc (rooted 2.3.4)
Asphalt 6 is a no go. You can control the menus, but not the car. Samurai 2 is a no go too, you can run around, but the buttons arent mapped at all. Likewise with duke nukem and unfortunatly, Onlive. More recent games like Shadow gun and sonic cd work like a dream though
thats y m more inclined towards GAMETEL controller as it has been developed keeping in mind abt Android games, u can see the list of games supported by Gametel.
sent via awesome aRc (rooted 2.3.4)
Is the problem that these games don't offer controller support, I could see no reference to controller support in the menus for Real Football. I know Grand Theft Auto 3 is a game that supports controllers and the PS3 one works great with that.

I downloaded a patched version of onlive app from the onlive helper thread in xperia play forum on the third page there approximately and it works with ps3 controller but maping is slightly off. Square is a, triangle is b, dpad seems to only move after continues pressing but left analogue seems to replace dpad moves perfecty. I played lego batman with no problem and warhammer for bit and found both totally playable. I hope some repatches it properly

I'm pretty sure the controller has nothing to do with whether it is compatible or not, it's up to the game dev to add in the bluetooth controller features. But I don't know that from personal experience so I could be wrong . Some offer manual mappings as well for increased compatibility.
At the end of the day the general populous doesn't walk around with a bluetooth gamepad in their pocket, so unfortunatly it's something most devs don't support.
With the Tablet S now being successfully rooted (hurrah, and much kudos to djrbliss!) does this now open up the possibility of using the Tablet S as a bluetooth controller for the PS3?
One of the main uses of my Tablet S is as a universal IR remote control, but it's still not capable of controlling the PS3 (as a Blu-Ray or media centre) which is a shame. With root achieved, will that open up the possibility of having the Tablet S paired to the PS3 as a controller? That would be sweet ...
Ta,

Phew! lol
From that title I thought you wanted to be able to play PS3 games with a massive on screen controller on your tab. That would be a little too crazy for my liking haha.
Anyways, my tablet already works as a remote for my PS3...but there is a catch.
I have a fairly new Wifi Sony 3DTV that has HDMI control. It just lets you control attached HDMI devices with the TV remote as long as the attached HDMI device is compatible with that feature.
I don't think the HDMI control feature is new at all tho. It's worth checking the settings for your TV and PS3 and seeing if you can just set both devices to "ON" for this. It's a really sweet feature! I can even turn my PS3 on and of with the tablet S this way too.
Thanks for the hint - I'll have to check into that when I'm at home tonight. The TV is 'fairly' new - Philips bought about 3-4 years ago, so it may work for me. Fingers crossed.
A super-size PS3 controller to play games via the Tablet S would be a bit weird Some kind of remote view/mirror would be pretty awesome though.
Many games are not suited to a keyboard/mouse setup. A solution to this problem is to use your PS3 controller as a joystick for PC games.
Blueput Droid may help. I never got it working on my rooted Nexus One, but maybe it'll work on the Tablet S. I'm sure it's been updated since i last tried it too. I haven't rooted my tablet yet so I can't try it.
https://market.android.com/details?id=berserker.android.apps.blueputdroid
I can confirm that BluePutDroid does work on my Tablet S. It took a couple of pairing attempts to complete, but it does seem to control the PS3. The 'X' and 'O' of the virtual sixaxis are mixed up though, and it does seem like a bit of a faff to get to the control section.
Overall though, a good start. A whinge to Sony would be that it is now demonstrated this can work, so why don't they add the functionality to their remote app? It seems like a no-brainer to me...
Did some searching around the forums and couldn't find a clear answer - is there any way to use an xbox 360 controller with my photon? Seemed like it might be possible using the HD dock (I realllly want to play gta using an xbox controller). Can anyone confirm or deny?
I somehow made mine work, was a hell of a process though. Ended up finding an app on my phone that would sync to my computer via wifi and see my controllers(plugged into my comp) signals and send them to the Photon. Cant recall name of app off top of head though..

Which version of Android are you using? I seem to remember one of the big features of ICS was native USB device support, so I'm curious if you still need third party apps for gamepads. I'd really like to see if I could use HDMI out and a 360 controller to turn my phone into a full fledged console.

Yeah forgot about that, I was on Cybiks CM7 at the time. On CM9 but haven't messed with trying it out on here since CM9
One guy in here bought the HD dock, and he said a generic controller from Radio Shack worked, but he didn't say about a 360 controller. I know that with the sixaxis app, you can use a PS3 controller, and it's amazing. What's cool about it is that it not only can play games like GTA and Shadowgun, which are designed to take physical keyboard inputs, but it can emulate screen touches. So you can play pretty much any game if you are willing to set up the touch profiles. Modern Combat 3 looks pretty good on my big screen, and game play is smooth once you get the controls you want.
I dropped the $50 on a PS3 controller just because I wanted to use it on my phone, I don't even own a PS3.

I have heard the Wiimote (Nintendo Wii remote) works as well. The common denominator here, with the PS3 Sixaxis controller, is Bluetooth, which our phones support (pretty much all of them do). The Xbox 360 controller uses another kind of wireless, or USB as a peripheral, and phone support for that (without the dock) is far less. I'm considering getting a PS3 controller as well. Screen controls are okay for some emulated games. I beat Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (GBA) on my phone, but I tried a couple Mario games and it was laughably bad.
(Running an Electrify, BTW... should be the same minus 4G.)
Which?
Particularly, which allows you to use sixaxis for ps3 controller, and which also allows you to hide the on screen controller buttons when doing so? Thanks!

From what I can remember, FPse can.
I am almost positive FPSE can but it has been a while since I used it. Never used ePSXe though myself

Hi guys. Is there a way to set up multiple keys to function when I hit one (hw) button in epsxe? for example if I set the directions to "w a s d" it would be really helpful when I hit "e" and it moves up and right. I know fpse can do it, but it started crashing with latest updates, and I find this alternative app since. Would be great,please if you know how to do it,pm me
edit: never mind, Id been blind, I found it!
many people here vote for FPSE, on ePSXe it also works... PS3 Controller and hide touch buttons..

Ive always been in a debate between the two. is one run better? does one support more games?

It would be hard to tell (honnestly, even if I manage Fpse official forum ^^).
In my opinion, it depends on what you're expecting from the emulator:
Fpse=> more options (for video, audio, controlers), more things you can tweak to get your perfect "graphic/speed balance" for each game, in the whole better graphic....and more updates (which can be seen as a bad or a good point, depending on how geek you are but a proof that the devs tries to fix every single bug )
Epsxe=> Easy to set up, no waste of time, straight to the point: if a game is said to work so it does indeed. But less tweaking possibilities, less good graphic on high end devices. Working great on low/medium end devices
If you want to play quickly, prefer instant-game over trying settings, Epsxe
If you want a lot of options and perfect crispy graphics, even if it requires trying a few settings , Fpse
Schtruck, Fpse's dev., is my friend, and I've been following this project since late 2008 on Windows Mobile then Android, so of course I vote for Fpse
Go with ePSXe bud

ePSXe is going to be the best psx emulator on the Android market hands down, it supports blue tooth controllers and I'm positive it can run the PS3 controller as well since its blue tooth and I have a Red Samurai blue tooth controller I use to play all my games well most!

Fpse has been supporting bluetooth too for a very long time (actually FpseCE for Windows Mobile was already supporting bluetooth controllers like the MSI BGP100 in early 2009 ).
BTW, Opengl 2.0 plugin for Fpse is on the way (there are already 3 different rendering possibilities: software, OpenGL ES blitting and OpenGL 1.1 plugin). As far as graphics are concerned, Fpse has always had (and so will keep having) an advantage over epsxe
Does anyone know if FPse or ePSXe have native ps3 controller support? (I have a transformer infinity and I would like to just use the USB port on the dock and play games.)
A year as passed.... ePSXe has grown.
What do you think?

Just try the pirated versions. Then help the developer by buying ePSXe or FPse. This way you are helping yourself and the developer
If you think my idea is totally stupid, Just buy epsxe. Because it's the modern emulator
Hi,
Just picked myself up a 16GB Tablet Z-£315 in the airport in Australia, thanks very much!!
Loving it so far, after returning a Nexus 10 with a dodgy screen.
One big reason for me to keep it stock and not unlock the bootloader and flash AOSP or CM10.1 is the built in dual shock support.
Well I've just purchased a Dualshock 3 controller and paired it up and I've got to say/ask, how crap is this?? I'm seriously disappointed, it seems like none of the games I have work with it:
Delver:can move with left analogue stick, can rotate left and right with UP and DOWN on the right stick, can't attack.
Minecraft: Doesn't work.
Pixel Dungeon: Doesn't work.
Bridge Constructor: Doesn't work.
Lode Runner: Doesn't work.
Etc...
Particularly disappointed with Minecraft-on Nexus 10 framerate was like crap-works perfectly on Tablet Z but the onscreen controls just kill my RSI riddled hands and forearms, this version of the game would be so f&&king sweet with a PS3 controller on this screen.
Is there any knack to getting the controller to work? Does the rooted Sixaxis app work better than the 'built in dualshock' support? Do any games at all work with PS3 controller?
Thanks.
I was a little disappointed that more games didn't work with the controller natively myself, these are the games that I've tested that do work though: GTA vice city, dead trigger, shadowgun, and snesoid for SNES emulation. If anyone else has been using the controller successfully feel free to share

I'm not sure the list is correct. For instance, I downloaded Temple Run (which is on that list) just for the sake of seeing if the controller worked with it, and it does not.

I've only used Shadowgun which was pretty good with a controller. If you look further down the list, he didn't link to Temple Run and also there was a Sony site linked that was a store of supported controller games.
I've purchased Another World and already own GTA 3, both work a treat with PS3 controller. Just a shame that Minecraft doesn't work!! Dammit
I think for now only game available on Playstation Mobile app (or Playnow) are compatible with DS3.
I don't know if the offer is still valable on Xperia Privilege app with 25euro gift, if yes use it to buy from PS Store.
Mega Blast work wirelessly.

Works with my Nexus 7 for mass storage and worked with Tablet Z to pair dual shock 3 controller.
LOVE this feature.
I use it for SNES emulators. Just had to map the buttons once, and it works flawlessly.
More Play store apps need to support controllers though, definitely.

What SNES emulator do you prefer?
I use snesoid but that's just because its what I've always used. It gets the job done and have never had a reason to check out any other emulators.
Such a shame they switched the upper left row of buttons with the lower right one, GTA 3 is kind of hard to play in this way. I'm using an SGP321 on .253 though so maybe it's fixed in .307?
