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.

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!
After a bit of internet browsing I discovered that it it possible to connect a nintendo Wii mote to Android devices. Which allows for easy gameplay.
After a few minutes of app installing I discovered that the entire Samsung Galaxy series is unable to use this app for whatever reason. Apparently due to the 'Sense UI' or so this article tells me;
http://android.ccpcreations.com/wiicontroller
But in the article it mentions the only way I could connect my Wii mote to my phone is by "rooting/flashing a compatible custom firmware".
So my question is, does anyone know of a ROM upon which such things are compatible? Thanks guys!

The page actually says for Samsung devices, it's NOT because of Sense (since Sense is an HTC skin for Android)... But that's neither here nor there.
The reason it doesn't work for WiiMote is because of how Samsung utilizes the bluetooth stack. You have to flash an AOSP ROM (like CM7 or MIUI) to get WiiMote to work. The downside of this, is that as far as I know, these ROMs don't currently support TV-Out via MHL. So you can't hook it up to your TV if you wanted to whilst using the controller.
HOWEVER - the SixAxis controller app, which connects to a ps3 controller (but ONLY an original Sony ps3 controller) DOES work with the stock ROM on the Galaxy S2. I have it, and it works. With this setup, I can use a controller with my emulators and hook the phone up to my TV to play games if I wanted to.
does this appel work great on s2
If yes . With wath games?

I am not finding any possible way to connect a PS3 controller with my Rezound due to the bluetooth packet build of the stock ICS. I just recently rooted. I see everywhere other devices that are able to pair with the controller. Any thoughts or evidence that this will work on the Rezound with custom roms? Using Amon ra recovery. Before I flash any roms, this is a big feature that I am looking for as I do a lot of gaming. Thanks for any direction.
I just saw a thread about this last week I think. Something about an app called sixaxis or something like that.
Pretty sure if you search "controller" in this forum you'll find it.

The Sixaxis app will not work with the Rezound. The Rezound does not support otg as it does not have usb host control support. It will not recognize any usb device. I read it's mainly due to Sense. Has to be a custom rom I guess that the builder enabled this option. Possibility of AOSP roms might work, not sure.

Blueputdroid enables you to control your ps3, and pc, etc with your phone. I want to play games on my phone with a ps3 controller since I have one already. I don't want to go buy a special controller just to use on my phone.

Install cm10.1 JB and it will enable you to use six axis controller.
