So I asked in the Q&A forum if SixaxisPairTool APP, a PS3 controller enabler, worked for the Atrix 4g.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1221652
I have received multiple confirmations that this App works. I do not know about any ROM specific bugs or disabilities.
Seeing that I could not find a PS3 controller app/support before this, I configured a Wii remote instead, and it worked flawlessly in N64iod.
I would like to share both then
TO INSTALL PS3 CONTROLLER SUPPORT
Before you buy the app, there is a checker that see's if your device is capable. I would download that first and check just in case.

ALL CREDIT GOES TO THE DEVS
TO INSTALL Wii REMOTE/NUN-CHUCK/CLASSIC CONTROLLER SUPPORT
(Includes Download and instructions)
http://android.ccpcreations.com/wiicontroller
To enable support in N64iod, go to options, other settings, check "use input method/enable special input through IME".
Then go back to settings, go to input, and hit key mappings.
Nunchuck/classic should be plugged into wii remote before mapping keys.
This is the result (replace the Asus Transformer with your phone) ===>>>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZpzEZXE8yI&feature=related

I dont own a PS3 but ive found that the Wii App "Wiimote Controller" by C.C.P. [email protected]
Works great with my AT&T Atrix 4G.
Works with Nesoid, Snesiod, N64iod those are all i have installed but it works great with them.
It's awesome
I'm wondering if someone could help me find a solution for using either the ps3 controller or wii remote as a remote for PowerAmp and maybe other apps such as Podtrapper?
Maybe a macro app? any ideas?

Has someone gotten this to work properly on an emulator. I tried using this on n64oid playing super mario 64 and I couldn't get it to work. The keys mapped on the settings but wouldn't respond during gameplay. Yet the ps3 controller is working because it works on the home screen. Is anyone else experiencing the same issues?
its paired but I cannot configure buttons, and pressing left and right on the homescreen nothing happens there either what little step did I miss, and its my default imput selection right now
got it uninstalled the combatabilty app and that seemed I left it on and it really did not work right when you have both apps on
Can someone post the Sixaxis Pair Tool? I cannot go to the developers website, it tells me it is unsafe.
EDIT: Just downloaded it through my phone instead. ESET can be aggressive
So is there still no one who has actually gotten this to work with an emulator? I got it to pair with the phone properly, and was able to set controls in SNES9x, but I couldn't get it to actually respond in game. It navigated the phone just fine though
Actually it would be interesting to see if this works with the webtop over hdmi mods? Anyone tried this yet?

It´s not working for me...
When I click Start on the Compatibility Checker, it says "Driver Started" and just stays there. It´s not showing the Local Bluetooth Address in the bottom of the screen.
Any help?
You have yo download the pairing tool from the website and pair ur controller through a computer using the program

D-Pad and Joysticks just register as the same thing. The D buttons work (clicking the Joysticks). Anyone else have this problem?
*** Edit ***
Noticed in some reviews that the dev emailed them back about this. You just need to assign values for those key presses manually.

I used the pc program, and it showed the bluetooth address of the controller OK.
What I don't have is the local bluetooth address from the Atrix, cause the compatibility checker is not working...

sorry for the slow reply, i've been playing with my a500 and in those forums. here is a quick guide and some answers...
you need:
ps3 controller
usb cable for controller
rooted phone/tablet
sixaxis controller test app
sixaxis controller app
pc with windows (i don't have linux or mac sorry)
motioninjoy (for windows)
getting ready:
download and install the test app on your phone. run it and press start. allow root. upon success a bluetooth code will appear at the bottom of the app. note this.
next, download and install motioninjoy to your pc. run the ds3 tool. connect your ps3 controller to the pc via cable. click on "bluetooth pair." select manual mac address. refer to the code on your phone, this is the bluetooth's mac address. enter each pair backwards! i.e. if your address on the phone says A8.53.D1.29.52 then on ds3 enter 52.29.D1.53.A8
now purchase and download the actual app to your phone. run it. click start. disconnect the controller and press the "ps" or center button. the app should read the controller and the controller should have one solid light on P1. if so, it works. don't forget to go to settings and allow the input and change input to the controller.
in the options you can change the hardware keys inputted by the controller, i.e. home, back, letters, numbers. you can set different values for the sticks than the digital pad or set it up to control your phone.
this controller app can control any of your games/apps that check for hardware input. gameloft games (and most games) do not so it will not work for these games.
i will clean this up tomorrow with links and stuff, sorry for the sloppiness. if this helps, thank me! l8r
Well, I solved my problem.
My root was not working properly, so the compatibility checker on the Atrix was not showing the bluetooth address.
Thanks people!

thanks works like a charm. playing MGS via FPSE
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.

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.

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.
Which game controller do you recommend? I'm mainly looking to use it on my tab for emulators and whatever android games are compatible with a controller.
I was looking at a sixaxis just because it looks like it can connect wirelessly with the app but I'd be willing to buy a USB connector and flash a kernel to make a controller compatible. Also I don't know if the dual shock 3 controller works with the sixaxis app. (I'm not sure if that's an entirely different thing)
I guess I'm mainly wondering which controller is most compatible, meaning full joy stick control and things like that.
Thanks if you can help me out!
I'm currently using my PS3 controller with the new Sixaxis App from the store. All you need is Root access and to pair your PS3 controller with a PC to tell it what your tablets Bluetooth MAC address is and it should work. I've been using it ever since with all my emulators and it works like it's supposed to.
There is also an app from the same dev to test if the controller works with your device but if its a GT 10.1 and a regular PS3 controller there shouldn't be an issue.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
If not I'm probably going to grab a sixaxis but I want to be sure I'm getting the best since I'm not tied down to a controller for a console I already own.
Thanks
There is already another Q & A thread started by me from a while ago where some people listed a few alternatives. Just search the Q & A forum or check the first few pages and you will find the thread. Since I already own a PS3 and the other controllers aren't that available in my country it was an easy choice for me. Hope that helps.
has anyone been able to get the PS3 controller working to control N64oid? the OS recognized input from the controller but N64oid doesnt. any tips to get this to work?
I have gotten a PS3 controller to work in N64oid by using the Sixaxis Controller app on Android market, but it's $1.76. There's a free compatibility checker that will let you know if it works with your phone (it works with the Atrix in general, but there's no harm in making sure).
***CAVEAT***
This program doesn't let the PS3 joysticks work as real joysticks and only sends up/down/left/right instead. It works fine for Paper Mario though, but that's all I can speak for as that's all I use on N64oid.
~Chef
thats what im using it for lol, paper mario. i had version 1.1.4 which worked fine with the joysticks but the newer 2.6.2 version of n64oid doesnt recognize the controller at all. android does.
There is no doubt that PS3 controllers do not connect to any Computer what so ever.
That's not even related to my problem

this might sound stupid, but did you check that the controller options were enabled in n64oid?
i looked arouond in the settings for the option but maybe I overlooked something? what should i check off in the settings?
Does anyone know if there are some gamepads available for the x10 (like the game gripper for the milestone)?
I already looked around a bit but couldn't find anything usefull...
Google "OnLive" or "iControlPad". You can play on emulators with blueatooth keyboards too, there's a lot of them.
if you have a non integrated motion plus wii remote get the app from the market and see how it works on your phone..
