I picked up very simple usb gamepad (stealseries 1gc) since my usb mouse and kb worked with zero configuration. I was looking for an alternative to the pricey wii controller, and something a bit smaller than a usb keyboard. Unfortunately it did not function out of the box.
Does anyone have any recommendations to get it working? What should I try or do? are there any non market apps that may get this working?
EDIT:
I can imagine that something could be rigged up since this guy did it.

We already have a USB port to accesss.... the question or problem is support for other than thumb drive or key board.....nothing else seems to be suppported including mice and game pads......
i think it might be lost effort trying to figure it out. i thought it might instantly be recognized as HID. My wireless (RF not BT) microsoft mouse worked without any modification, though i didnt see the point to using a mouse.

This doesn't work, but I wish it did
Instead of starting a new topic, I thought I'd just post here and ask if anyone's had any luck in this regard. This device is so unbelievably ripe for emulation, and its a total shame that even with a standard USB port, no one has figured out how to use a gamepad yet.
I've got a bluetooth gamepad with 6 buttons, the BGP100. Unfortunately, you need to buy a $10 driver from the market (MMG Gamepro). After all that, I'm playing Street Fighter II and NBA Jam TE like it's 1996
There's another thread regarding the use of Wii controllers via bluetooth. I was able to get the two Datel Retro Wireless Wii controllers off ebay for $26 (I got lucky).
PlayStation controller with a PlayStation to USB adapter
Hi I am a first time poster here, so I hope this gets to the right place.
I use the loox 720 pocket PC with USB host and a PlayStation controller with a PlayStation to USB adapter.
For a drivers I use hidgamep.dll. Copy it to your Pocket PC's Windows folder and enter the following to your registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\HID\LoadClients\Default \Default\1_5\gamepad "DLL"="hidgamep.dll"
OR [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\HID\LoadClients\Default\Default\Default\Gamepad] "DLL"="hidgamep.dll"
if it did not work. But, any unknow HID device pluged in will try use the hidgamep.dll. It´s not problem for me and it´s working fine!
and I use Mobiion MagiKB Lite v1.1 - http://www.mobiion.com/magikblite.html to change the button commands so like when I was playing super mario bros.gun 2 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556557 I change the "X" button to "up" and the "O" to the "space bar". But for the most part I use the controller as a media remote for the core player or windows media player ...
I use Zeno USB Host Drivers 2011 v1.0 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...url
for everything else
PS
I hope this helps
I know there are apps to you can download to turn your cell phone into a wireless mouse for your PC, in fact I have one and it works great.
Does anyone know of an app that will do the same thing but be able have a mouse pointer on your Prime using your cell phone as the mouse. I've searched the marked and googled it and get nothing.
If there is not an app like this maybe one of you guru developers here can make one. That would be awesome.
I think this should work with the client and server installed

I'm not rooted yet but this may be the reason I root. Keep the suggestions coming.

Mobile mouse works great, if you're just looking to control the mouse functions. There's also LogMeIn, if you're looking for more functionality (remote desktop type stuff).
These work on a PC, but I'm not sure how well, or if these would work on the TFP.
I have a app that controls my computers mouse pointer from my phone. What I'm looking for is an app like that but to put a mouse pointer on my Prime and be able to control the pointer from my phone. So it would really be an app that creates a mouse pointer on the Prime and is controlled by the phone. This way I could sit back and control my Prime while connected via HDMI on my bigscreen and not have a long HDMI cable or have to get up to mess with the tablet.

That works just fine. I found it while looking to use my phone as a BT keyboard to use cheats in GTA III. Mouse also works.

So will this app put a mouse pointer on the Prime and control said cursor from the phone? I'm not really going to use my phone as a game controller what I really want is a cursor on my Prime to control it like it was in the dock (I don't have a dock) remotely.
That's two apps that need root to work so I may be closer to rooting if one of these will do what I want.
So I have the prime and a ps3 controller and i changed the controller mac address to the primes and i can get it to connect using the sixaxis app but when i open up and emulator and try to configure the controls it registers one of the joysticks and the dpad as the same and wont even register the other joystick, did i do something wrong? also USB/BT Joystick Center wont even detect the controller, and I dont have the usb adapter or keyboard. It sees the right joystick and dpad as the same and wont detect the left analog stick movement besides pressing L3

Just to let you know the ps3 controller works on the prime without any root or sixaxis app. Just turn on BT on the prime, plug in the ps3 controller through usb port and turn on the Ps3 controller. Wait a few secs so it can pair, unplug and your up and running without any cables. Been using mine with bluetooth without any problems.

I don't have the usb adapter :/
bump still got no solution without USB adapter!
In your emulators settings (I use nesoid, snesoid etc) did you go into Other Settings> and check "Use Input Method" ? It says enable special input device eg bluetooth gamepad.
I have the same issue and I have the paid version and after. 21 update it doesn't work which really pisses me off... .21 update worst update so far? Fair to say?

Would this solve your problem? I haven't gotten mine yet but for that price it's worth a shot with the stock USB cable. I have the dock so my PS3 controller plugged right up.
no its been proven that that wont work, the usb charging cable doesnt have the correct pins for usb inputs, only the usb adapter does

scottrod, did you check this setting?
Can someone tell me how can I do that ? Should I apply some settings in Sixaxis or Joystick Center ?
You just have to plug it in through USB OTG and you're good to go.
Afaik you'll need an app for the Bluetooth connection tough.

In Sixaxis App just plug in through USB and hit Pair, and USB/BT App plug a BT dongle into OTG and hit search to get dongle's address then plug controller in through USB to pair then unplug and hit search and should find controller over BT.

Sorry to hi-jack the thread but do you still need to be rooted to use sixaxis app on the GS3?
I only ask as my stock TF101 works flawlessly with a PS3 controller over BT after pairing via a USB cable - no root required! Is that a general ICS thing or just a TF101 thing?

No, I don't want wireless. I can play with cable. So, don't need right ?
Hey guys. Today I bought OTG cable. I tried play Nova 3 with Ps3 controller. ( I didn't do anything. I just used cable. I can control homescreen, apps. But I can't play Nova 3.
help guys Now I have cable but still I can't play some games.
Only some games have built in support for controllers. NOVA doesn't, but if you get Sixaxis Controller you set-up touch profiles so different keys will emulate motions on the screen, that's how you can do it.
Also, only certain devices support PS3 syncing via BT without an app, my Sony Tablet S has built in support, you plug it in, turn bluetooth on and it's synced via BT, but the GS3 doesn't, so if you want to play without the OTG cable, get Sixaxis controller.
Nooo, I want play with OTG cable. How can I use Sixaxis Controller with OTG cable ? Or, Should I try Joystick Center app ?
By using sixaxis controller you'll be able to create profiles for all games , even nova 3 k:

Umm, well I'm pretty sure you can keep it connected if you want? Not sure why you would since if you have OTG cable you can use it wirelessly?

USB/BT controller (I think the app you're referring to) also has Touch Emulation via a plugin (it requires Root just like Sixaxis Controller does though for touch emulation), but as others are saying, why would you want to do that when you can do it wirelessly? Wireless connection affords you the advantage of being able to also connect to MHL and your HDTV...
Anyways, more information here:
I can't do Sixaxis. I think USB/BT Joystick Center is easier than Sixaxis. But I can't find Ps3 controller buttons in Button mapping.

Why can't you do Sixaxis? It is definitely easier than USB/BT - the video above has a guide for a Nova 3 touch emulation and Sixaxis pairing and the blog has a touch emulation profile you can just download and start using!
Hi guys,
I recently purchased an USB OTG Adapter to use my XBox 360 Controller on my S3.
When I started using the Controller, there were two things that really bugged me.
The first is that some apps seem to recognize that I have mapped Controls to the DPad, when I try to
use it however, nothing happens. They also seem to treat the left analog stick as a DPad too.
I'd appreciate if anyone knew about a way (if it is even possible) to fix this.
My second problem is the lack of a Deadzone setting for the analog sticks.
The problem that I have with this, is that the analog sticks don't center completely,
which sometimes leads to the app thinking that i still press the analog stick in a direction even if I don't.
Is there some setting that I have missed, where I can control the Deadzone? Or is there maybe some App that
allows me to do this?
