Hey everyone. Since we got bluetooth working on AOSP roms we can finally use our bluetooth controllers to play games.
So since we are past that step I'd like to start a thread on compatibility.
N64 Runs great. FPSE I can't seem to get running on an AOSP rom.
Anyone else have any success stories to share?
wait whhaaatt....
using bluetooth... to control nintendo roms on your phone... that is brilliant! your rom has to support bluetooth, obviously, and you need a controller that connects to bluetooth devices.
how did you get this to work?? that is one thing i miss a lot from my old phone is all the SNES, gameboy, sega game emulation.
Aosp roms have the correct bluetooth stacks. I use a Wiimote with a classic controller Attached. You can also just use a ps3 controller.

I actually can't get FPse to play anything on AOSP
awesomeness!

I figured with the Webtop-over-HDMI hack now up and running, why not try to get a console controller, other than the WiiRemote, working to play games on Android. Full screen PS emulator with a side of PS3 controller would be nice via Webtop.
As I've been reading, I keep hearing that that Android doesn't have a kernel to support BT pairing.
What do you guys think?
As far as pairing, it is possible. There is an app called BlueputDroid that is in early beta stages, but it works. It works as a touchpad/keyboard for the PS3.
I have read the same thing in regards to the bt stack not being compatible but I don't believe it. It would be great to control my ps3 dvd playback from my phone.

I think the original poster wanted the opposite of what you guys are replying about... he wants to use his bluetooth PS3 controller as a gaming controller to control games running on his Atrix.
Don't know if what you guys want is possible but I would think that would be a lot easier through a network interface than bluetooth... have you explored the DLNA tools? You should in theory be able to control the PS3 through DLNA commands.
Sorry for the threadjack.

This is correct. I work a desk job and emulators on my phone are what keep me from losing my mind. A PS3 controller is a preference, but a controller that works will suffice.

The WII remote works as seen in a couple videos. Could grab one of those, and you'd be good to go.
off topic, kinda, but would a 360 remote ever work with the Atrix?

nope.
Bluetooth controller have posibilities
I would certainly be interested in this as well!
This is what I got...its the retro controller for wii but it doesnt need to connect to a wiimote, and it works with the wiimote android app
http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Retro-Wireless-Controller-Nintendo/dp/B001ULJGDU
good luck finding one though, I had to import mine for like 40 bucks from codemasters, but that was a while ago.

The problem is not the kernel or BT stack.
Someone has to decrypt what the codes are that are sent on button press into an input method. (See WiiMote Controller apk for an example). On top of that, the app requires the ability to pull the pairing code from the ps3 controller and pair it using the existing BT stack.
But no one has created such an app at this time.
Once full-blown webtop linux (or at least repo access), the desktop pairing app can be used while in webtop mode (if such an app exists).

Just bumping this because I could have sworn that I saw a project to get the PS3 remote working on the Atrix. Am I just hoping and wishing or was there a project going on?
(yes, I've tried searching to no avail)
I would love to help and fulfill attempt to get the ps3 controller working with the atrix but have a few problems...
Never played a ps3 except in store demo lol which also leads to me not having a controller to even test. With that said, I need some info about the ps3 and the controller. Use bluetooth for connectivity? What is ps3 based off of? Linux......etc?
If based off linux or similar then I could give out a go. If not, then I can't help. Lastly, can someone link me to a ps3 os dump (or whatever it's called).

I've never delved much into the PS3 Homebrew and emulation scene mainly because it's security was clamped down on so hard. But with the recent cracks, I imagine their online communities are probably buzzing.
Wish I had some resources to share. I'd really LOVE to get a PS3 controller working with the Atrix!!!
Don't know how much it helps, but with the recent Ubuntu hack, I figure I'd share that QJoyPad may work. A simple Google search should find it.
I never had trouble pairing PS3 controllers with it. It even allowed me to toggle sensitivities of all of the axis, including L2/R2. Every button worked, even L3/R3.

This is an ancient thread, I know, but I've had this question for a while. I don't yet have an HDTV, so I cannot test this, but aside from Hero_Lief's suggestion above, I also ran into a program called QtSixA (http://http://qtsixa.sourceforge.net/) for Ubuntu, which is supposed to be able to pair a PS3 wireless remote with Ubuntu through Bluetooth 2.0 or higher. Has anyone tried this yet? If not, someone wanna give it a go? Whenever I get an HDTV, I'd really like to use my Atrix for some bigscreen emulation, but I won't be enticed without a proper controller. Thanks!
Has anyone given a thought about pulling the drivers or what ever from a honeycomb build? I've read somewhere that you can connect a ps3 controller to a xoom.

I loved using my wii controller to play games, controll grooveshark and remote controll my camera on my htc hd2. But can we do it on the S2? Cognition rom so far does not work with my controller. Does anyone know of a rom that does?

Im hoping for this aswell. The Wii controller or the PS3 controller, mainly to controll some emulators.
Now that it has been a month after this post, has there been any progress on this issue? I would really love to use my Wiimote with the G SII.
I saw a thread just before about a guy on Miui with a wiimote.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
is this the same protocol thats required for the ps3 controller? if it is does anyone know if its now possible to do this on a SGSII??
I guess it will work with any cm7 based mod, as cm7 bluetooth stack is compatible with the wii/ps3 controllers, is that right?
Yes CM7 should work fine.
Wii Remote Galaxy S2
Ok I have the sprint version of the S2 the Epic 4g touch and I was able to get a wii mote to sync with it for my super nintendo emulator and Roms. It's pretty fantastic and much more enjoyable than playing with a ps3 controller... At least I like it more. I am running the Calkuins.E4GT.ROM.v2.9.2 with kernel: 2.6.35.7-sph-D710.EL29-CL852097
I accidentally found out you can do this but with the snes9x ex emulator for droid and the sixaxis app installed the "search for wiimote" in the emulator will work. Before I had the sixaxis app installed it would say my device wasn't supported and from everything I've read it was because of the samsung bluetooth stacks. I'm guessing that the app fixes the stacks or finds a backdoor for it to work.

Hello! I was wondering if I could use my PS3 bluetooth controller without having to flash a AOSP rom.
The reason why I dont want to flash a AOSP rom is because I am trying to hook up my phone to the tv and use a controller at the same time and AOSP rom's do not support MHL HDMI out.
So im just looking for a way to use a wireless controller and plug it into hdmi at the same time. I would appreciate the help, thank you once again. XdaDevelopers has a really nice community and I would love to contribute more some day ^^

Yea. U can. Use either six axis or that Bluetooth IME or summin like that. U can use mhl to connect to ur tv then a Bluetooth controller

Unfortunately, this is not fully true. Sense doesn't have the necessary bluetooth stack to accommodate wireless controllers like the Sixaxis or the Wiimote. The only way to get this working on the 3D would be to install Cyanogenmod, since it has the necessary bluetooth files. However, CM7 doesn't have MHL out working yet, so that's not really an option either.
Hopefully soon CM7 will get MHL working so we can make this happen.

No I meant there is an app which sets up Bluetooth remote controllers as a keyboard. It works. I tried it with my zeemote. But I just switched roms and u forgot to back it up. Now i can't remeber the name

If you can remember it, that would be awesome.
The program is bluez IME. It is free on the market. It works perfectly well on a stock ROM, so the above advice is wrong. That said, I've been using it to play games with my old Chainpus BGP-100 Bluetooth controller and I have no idea if it works with the Sony PS3 controller.
It works great to play games on my HD tv.

I will try that out now! thank you
Bluez IME only works with four controllers unfortunately, and the wiimote and dualshock aren't compatible.

There is a unreleased apk of bluez that supports WiiMotes, however you do need a AOSP rom in order to make it work
That's because AOSP has the necessary Bluetooth stack for input devices, something that Sense based roms are lacking.

Hello, I have been looking to use a wii remote on my g s2. I know you can use cyanogen mod or miui rooms to do this, but I prefer using checkrom to be honest.
I was hoping someone might have an idea or be able get the wii remote working on a custom from other than cm or miui
Any help appreciated

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..
Thanks for the suggestions, ill steal my GFs wii controller

Works too with ps3 controller. Needs app for phone and computer. Theres a link. (needs root)
app for phone https://market.android.com/details?...sixaxiscontroller&feature=more_from_developer
and some info & guide http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/about.html
I'll switch over to my ps3 controller then, hate that wii crap.. Thanks mate!
I've been using my ps3 controller for months I love it. It works great via bluetooth. I'd recommend it
