Anybody tried to use this yet with their transformer, I was thinking of trying it over the PS3 controller because I could use it with my phone as well.
I've got one and it works great using a app called bluez ime then using on snesiod gameboid and n64oid

I've been thinking about getting one, but shipping to the US is pretty steep.
Have you gotten the PS3 controller to work with the Transformer over Bluetooth or via USB(on the dock) only? I'm trying to find a nice gamepad that would work without needing the dock to use.
I would really like to get one of these:

But they are only made in small batches. Orders are done through a pre-order system, and the pre-orders are sold out every time I check.
There's a good review of it here:

That is nice, but the reason I liked the iControlPad is because it is slimmer and will fit in my bag with the transformer better.

I might have to grab an iControlPad myself. I heard about it a while back, but haven't checked on it in a while. Looks like it came together pretty well.

Anyone else using their tablet for old school gaming on the go?
I ordered and received the best wireless controller you can get for the gTablet (at the moment):
http://us.codejunkies.com/Products/Wii-Wireless-Retro-Controller__EF000622.aspx
The best thing is, it connects directly to the gTablet with the Wii Controller software without the need for a separate remote (like other wireless classic controllers I found do).
Awesome, thank you for the heads up!
Thanks for the information, and link! Is there any lag while playing?
I haven't noticed any, but I didn't get to play it that much last night before passing out. I am thinking about doing a youtube video on it sometime this weekend and post it on here.

Looks cool, but almost $50 total seems high..... Not sure, but if I could get BT controllers to actually work with TnT 3.13, I would consider it

Yeah, it was a little on the steep side, but seeing how an extra wiimote + classic controller would run me $60 new, I think its a good deal.
So what type of games can you play on this? Is there a good place to get emulators and what not.
I have a usb wii controller I wonder if that would work.

Is there any kind of gamepad solution for the Evo 3D that is confirmed to work? I don't care if I have to purchase a new product, but I would like a way to use either a bluetooth or USB gamepad.
I know the HTC BT Stack lacks support for the Wii remote and PS3 controllers.
Just looking for some input from other Evo 3D owners before I end up wasting my time and money on something that will not work.
You have an option of going to an AOSP rom and using it on there? it works on all bt devices i tested it with a wii mote w/classic controller

Alas, there is not, the only way to get a pad working is to have a stock rom, then connect a pad via usb, wiimotes and ps3 pads work very well indeed, but with sense roms the bluetooth stack isn't compatible with pads, due to sense and it's bluetooth limitations, HID USB i think it is, basically devices can't be used as peripherals, including pads.
I'm in the same boat m8, watching my mate on his Gal nexus whilst i'm slumming it on a touchscreen pad is just a kick in the teeth, i do believe no one has ever gotten a pad to work over bluetooth on any device using sense.
Get Gannii's stock ICS rom when they fix the bluetooth and your golden, the camera doesn't work yet tho either

I've been looking at different AOSP ROMs, and most people not in the comments that they still are unable to use a Wii remote. Which ROM have you been using, personally?

I think I'm going to go with the iControlPad. From what I've read it's compatible with HTC Sense when using BluezIME, has dual analog sticks and a clip-holder to hold the phone as a screen. Sure, it's $70, but comfort is important when gaming.

I like that the iControlpad comes with a little clip mounting system that makes it feel more like a real handheld gaming device. I don't like the idea of having to prop my screen up somewhere and warp my neck to squeeze in a little gaming
Although I might buy one to have a 2nd controller for when I get my HDMI adapter

I have an HTC EVO 3D and do not want to root my phone, so that is not an option
Any other controllers out there that doesn't require root access?
Looking to expand my game collection on the DNA to some serious games, that of GTA3 & nature. Since the PS3 controller doesn't work (yet:fingers-crossed due to BT stack being all screwy (thanks HTC), any other options available?
There's the moga controller for $50. It's a bit pricey but it works with the DNA.

Yeah. I've found that Amazon can have some killer deals on some things you might be looking for, namely such.
the moga works well. i got one when they were giving them out for 5 bucks(just pay shipping). i use it from time to time. gets a little weird if you have it linked to a tablet and a phone like i have it for my nexus 7 and dna, but still works. you might just have to delink it and relink it to whichever you want to play at that time. definitely worth the money if you're big into console gaming on android.

Much appreciated for the info. I think I just might be sold on the moga, if it's still in stock by the time I can order it.
I own a Moga controller, use it for my Nexus 7. Pretty awesome gadget to have for mobile gaming!
the moga pro (if same price) might be better. looks way more awesome and probably feels really nice. unless you're going for portability... either one should be good.
I bought a Moga from Wal-Mart so that I could return it if I didn't like it... and I returned it. It irritated me that they went with proprietary support instead of as a general bluetooth gamepad. Most of what I wanted to use it with wouldn't work, and honestly the games that did support it seemed laggy. I'd let go of the thumbsticks and things would still keep moving. It's a shame, cuz it's a really slick controller, and that built-in clip is also awesome, but in the end it just didn't work for me. I also didn't care for the lack of a d-pad (yes, the pro has one, but I like the smaller form factor), and the buttons felt shallow and clicky and required too much pressure to use for my tastes.
I also tried the Nyko Playpad, and while I felt it was a better controller by having a d-pad and two more L/R buttons which were analog, I never got to actually use it because the damn thing didn't work at all on my DNA no matter what mode I used. My phone would "connect" to it, but the gamepad would still keep blinking at me as if it hadn't connected, and it never worked even for a moment.
Note to HTC: if you want to sell phones, stop needlessly f***ing them up. I love my phone, but I hate what they and Verizon have done to it... it'll probably be the first and last HTC phone I ever own, and that's a real shame.

Aside from my last post, has anyone tried a bluetooth gamepad that actually works besides the Moga? I'm dying to get my emulation on with a gamepad, and without root and roms I can't use my previous go-to, my PS3 controller. Actually, has anyone tried a PS3 controller through USB? I'm really curious to know what people have tried and what works with gamepads and the DNA.
the ps3 controller works with sixaxis app don't think it works with usb though.

It does not work on the DNA. Did you even try it?
He's right about the Bluetooth. I haven't tried it using CM yet, will probably try it later on today.

I have been enjoying using my PS3 controller on my phone for a while. Does the bluetooth stack have anything to do with firmware? If so it probably works for me because I'm running an AOSP ROM. I didn't try it on the stock ROM before I flashed a new one.
bump.any luck with any Bluetooth controllers on stock Rom with DNA? thanks
Hey all, I've finally gotten all teh stuff together for my alternative to the Moga Controller stuff, and I conclude it's not bad at all.
So, here's the equipment of choice:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EKLW8XM/
The case is a cheap, hard case that's decently stable and has all ports available. It's the only case I found that actually has all the ports open, so that's good. While technically you can use whatever case is your fancy, I recommend a hard case, and you're going to need a cheap one because it's going to have no purpose other than this.
(I ordered some flimsy Silicon Cases prior to this, but realized when I held them that they wouldn't work for my purposes).
http://www.amazon.com/GameKlip-VM-004018-Gameklip--Universal-Casemount/dp/B00AS22BYS/
The Gameklip of course. Unfortunetly the main site that sells these is currently (Or was a few days ago) out of the universals, so if you want to use this you're going to have to do this route. It's decently stable and I find it's sticking power is good enough on the above case; However, if you find it to be inadequate, you can feel free to glue the thing if you want; Like I said, the case should only be attached to the klip, so it doesn't matter.
http://www.amazon.com/GameKlip-VM-004018-Gameklip--Universal-Casemount/dp/B00AS22BYS/
A Dualshock, of course. If you have a PS3, you can use one of those controllers, but just keep in mind that you'll have to do some fumbling in order to bring it back and forth.
Issues with the set up:
The set up is a little hard to get situated correctly due to there being little guiding instructions, so you can end up a little lopsided if you're not careful.
It feels slightly top heavy because of the phone. It's not so bad that it's unplayable, and after holding it for a bit I stopped noticing, but it's there.
Anywho, it's a good alternative to the MOGA or other controllers where they end up blocking the power button and volume keys; With this set up, the only thing stopping you from having all the ports is the case you want. It's also ideal because it's the only option that lets you use a Playstion controller, and, having come from both it and the 360, I prefer it.
HOWEVER, if you are interested in using a 360 controller, there is hope for you, though I haven't used it.
http://www.shapeways.com/model/1443...li=gmerchant&gclid=CNj0se74y7sCFRRefgodfAkAxA
Utor cases seem to be a better alternative if you want to use a real 360 controller and don't want to bother with a case. But, like I said, I prefer the PS3 controller for this, and I'm fairly certain the Xperia Skin has native support for it, so.
The Utor Case guy told me he should have the PS3 version ready soon..that is the one I am waiting for.
Just emailed him to see if he has any update on the ETA.

Not bad, not bad. The Utor (I keep mispelling it Ultor... Such a missed chance for a Saint's Row II reference!) cases look like good ways of working it, and their designs definitely leave all the ports open. I probably won't purchase one unless my gameklip breaks, but it's good that the Z Ultra is getting feasible alternatives.
Indeed! I was surprised when I saw it since it is not a common phone size..but it sure is a conversation starter
Between it and my watch I usually get some comment lol

Well the PS3 controller being made by sony its super easy to connect as the Xperia already has the built in app for it.
On mine I just press the power button on the controller and it is connected. I can see the power level remaining and turn it off from there too.
All it took to set it up was connecting a usb cable first and run the app, and it quickly says it is done.
Cant get easier than that.
Of course, you may still need sixaxis app for some stuff so depends on what you are playing.

what android games support the ps3 controller anyways??
Somethings just work, like even the Dreamcast emulator..guess you need to test and find out.
Got dualshock and it works like charm.really very easy to connect and till now all gamepad supported games run very well with it.only thing i am nt able to figure out is how to activate its rumble effect which dont seem to work in any game.
