Well thought I might help some people who may be interested in turning their phone into a mobile gaming device currently I have set up Super gnes from market. On my evo 3d but the fun comes with better game play using my ps3 controller to play. Alot smoother than using touch screen controls if interested let me know. Must be rooted with AOSP rom first I'm currently using miui. And yes I'm sure alot of you may already know but we were all noobs at one point so this threads for you guys if interested

Hmmm last I knew the PS3 controller couldn't be used, but that was a long time ago, and stopped following. I'm glad to hear that its possible. I'm defiantly interested

If you buy the Sixaxis controller app you can pair your ps3 control with your phone.
It can be used but before buying the app get the free pairing tool and must have an aosp rom currently does not work with sense so cm7 or miui are your best bets if you find it does work about $6 in the market and your ready to go $2 for siaxis controller application and $4 for snes emulator there is a free version of emulator but it doesn't have as many features plus I like to stay updated

Well I'm also a father and student so I will try and stay as up to date with those who would like help as I can so first steps always backup make a nand back up and find a aosp rom I recommend miui then get the free sixaxis application from market and read the directions in the application you will need a pc to change your controlers Bluetooth address don't worry your control will still work with your ps3 however make sure your ps3 is off when changing the address otherwise it will keep trying to connect to your ps3 rather than your phone. Will check in tomorrow to see what else I can help with for now try that out and goodnight

the Infamous Youzh's emu apps are still free if you want to take a look (except the N64, but $5 is way worth it.)
https://slideme.org/user/yongzh
For the record I installed snesoid, gensoid, and nesoid (Google to find cause they were pulled from the market, I had purchased these prior btw but had to hunt them down) and the sixaxis app was like $1.79, and as mentioned the pairing tool is free. Works flawlessly on Miui...

Nice contribution, thank you sirs. I didn't know this, will take a look later.
I have run the paired sixaxis with my 3d and my transformer. great time passer
cant stop playing shadowgun though. best 6$ ever
Will this work for most other games like Gameloft, Glu, Unity games?
Good question haven't tried yet as my time is very limited but I can look into it unless some one else already has. I will be the first to say I'm not the best at anything here just trying to help where I feel I can everything I know has been someone else's exploits that I taught myself through reading and you tube, and lemme tell ya YouTube can be your best friend when in a bind

nou, because gameloft games not have the option to "key mappings" ( ) but shadowgun had that option and i heard someone playing it with ps3 controller on evo3d

Or buy the dock, root, then take it back. There is no restocking fees for returned accessories at corporate stores.

or go to a sprint store and use the hd station display to root your phone. I did it after someone else in another post made a tinyurl to download the appropriate file. It's really simple. Can't wait to use my ps3 controllers! Hope games like shadowgun come with the capability built in but i doubt it.
It just hangs on mine with the Sixaxis compatibility checker (yes I'm rooted). Are you on MR3 ?

Dock-less root now possible
Has anyone got this to work on our phones yet?
I am rooted. I can get the controller to pair, and I can get the controller to dump the mapped keys into text boxes, but not in any emulator.
The stranger part is that I can map the keys in Gameboid, Snesoid, and PSX4Droid using the controller itself (so I know the emulator is reading it) but once I go to the game I get 0 response from the controller.
Just kidding. Had to enable bluetooth controllers in other settings. Confirmed working 100%
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Had it working mint for the past few weeks
Just had a system update (45.2.7) and now it doesn't
When I try to start it, now it says "permission denied"
If I stop and start it, it says "ps3 remote wants to pair, please initiate using phone"
when I try to sync from my phones bluetooth settings it asks for a pin and then times out
gonna try uninstalling and going through the setup procedure again when I have time, just wondering if anyone else had this problem
ETA- just checked out the update thread, turns out I lost root, meh
Did you reroot?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Not yet, I have tuesday off so I'll mess around with it then and post what I needed to do to get it working again
Hopefully it's just a re-root
Eta- just needed to root it again, works fine
to get root again will take all of about 4 mins, but if you erased your settings then youll have to do all that work again. but im glad to find out this phone has a nice enough bt stack to work with it. anyone try playing minecraft with it?
can anybody tell me which emulators support the ps3 controller
Ok so I dont know if any of you guys have had a game gripper but I had one for my epic, and it was awesome no more Wii mote BS. But anyways if you guys would go to the game gripper site and request one for the photon maybe it would perswayed him to make one for us. This phone runs the n64 and psx emulators so nicely it would be so nice to have a game pad instead of the crappy on screen controls. So help out and go to the site and request one. Please!
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Uuuummmm..... Not gonna happen man. Sry. Gamegripper is only designed and works for phones with physical keyboards. Will not work with touchscreen only devices.
But no biggie tho. Playing games on the touchscreen with the photon is not bad at all. It is way more responsive than the epic touchscreen. Also what I do sometimes is connect my phone to my tv and mirror the display. Then I use a wiimote controller and play my games. Couldnt do that with the epic.
They have them for the Droid x that is touch screen only

There's an app called ONLIVE.. that's you could play ps3/ Xbox like games! it's crazy you get the graphics of the console on your smartphone and every game has a trial... In some you will need to buy the wireless remote which is $49.99 on the website and you can play via pc, tablet, any android smartphone!!!
TRY IT!
(If the game lags download RAM MANAGER from the market..(pro) and select hardcore gaming takes away aloooot of the lag

Lucky hT-z 3D
according to the onlive website the controller requires android 4.0 on smartphones (http://support.onlive.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/432) (idk how 4.0 is going on cdma but gsm does not have a stable version) so if you do not have 4.0 don't buy a controller yet
That sucks lol

So I'm going on a really long plane trip (12 hours) and I'm looking to occupy time so I thought... Classic Nintendo games of course
The question is how do I get such games for my phone? I REALLY want to play classic Zelda and Mario. Any ideas? Is there Mame for Android?

I use nes-emu it came with 100 roms all marios and zeldas. I wrote down the mac address of my Wii mote by searching for it with Bluetooth on CM7 then synced it up with the Wii mote app. Configured the button map to play the roms on my droid with a Wii mote. Let me know if you need help with this.

Dsoid but it heats up your phone like a microwave. It also is quite slow. You need a high end phone (not even mine, more like an S3 or a Nexus S) to play it properly.

nds4droid is better. Also, it doesn't even run all that well on higher end devices either, still too soon for that yet.

I haven't gotten around to trying any of these yet, but I was fairly pleased to find out that there exists Nintendo DS emulators. It sounds like there's lots of room for improvement though, and I can't wait for it to get better.
I want to use multiple gamepads, specifically for old emulators. I currently have N64oid and FPse.
I see N64oid supports multiple bluetooth controllers with the Bluez IME app. I have 2 Wiimotes and try to hook them up. When I try to connect the 2nd Wiimote it keeps saying something like "Error connection refused."
Is this a problem trying to use 2 wiimotes? I keep reading something about HTC's bluetooth stack is stupid compared to other companies. Will I have better luck if I buy a different gamepad like the MOGA or something similar? Or will I only be able to connect 1 at a time?
only one at a time just buy another dna and connect the other remote to that one and then you have to remotes but two phones also

Don't know if jackass troll or being serious...
Seems he knows what he's talking about in other threads, but he also lacks basic grammar. You're making this tough on me.
I did find out that MOGA only supports 1 controller at a time, so that's a no-go on that one.
hey man i dont try to offend or be a jackass. i only try to help in hopes of you getting your answer and yes i lack basic grammar typing skills as i spent most of my life working and partying never finished school to busy trying to work to help my parents pay bills as we were really poor and i dont like missing meals because thats how things were so excuse my sh***y grammar fella
so since i went a looked a few things up on my own here you go
most only support 1 gamepad at any given concurrent moment. in order to have two remotes running at one time is too go buy another phone. at one moment you will have 2 remotes, but on the other hand you could always just be happy with one remote and donate a develop model to me have a great day

Telling me to buy 2 phones is not helpful. I want to play 2-4 players on 1 phone. How will this help?
If anyone's interested, I bought a Phonejoy dual analog controller. I'll see if I can sync 1 wiimote and 1 phonejoy to it. I'll update this later with my results.
either way im very friendly and gave you your only solution at the moment as for your issue i think you can only sync one controller at a time period but i maybe wrong.
crpalmers kernel has had a complete linux driver swap so multiple syncing will give best results with his kernel. so if you are able the best chances are there in his kernel. so does that help you better?

This is what ruins forums and the Internet, posting guesses instead of factual information.
Yes you were wrong. I got my Phonejoy today and hooked it up. I am now able to use 2 controllers, 1 Wii remote and 1 Phonejoy. I played Mario Kart split screen and it worked perfectly. Now I need to figure out if I can get 2 Wii remotes working. I'm not sure if I had set it up wrong. I followed the same steps and the Phonejoy worked. I may just have to get 3 more Phonejoys :crying:
Does anyone else have information on the topic? Can you hook up multiple Wii remotes or is it better/easier with Phonejoys?

See the problem? If everybody talked the way they wanted then there would be no way to understand anyone. You could spell any way you wanted and your thoughts wouldn't be decipherable from chicken scratch. You can write however you want. But you bet your ass if you apply for a job and your resume looked like that I would not hire you.
