Can anyone confirm if Universal OnLive Wireless Controller http://www.onlive.co.uk/controller works with the tablet via built in bluetooth please?
There is a new firmware update today to connect a wireless PS3 controller. I don't know if you can use that though.
Waiting for the update here...

The dpad works to navigate, circle seems to bring up the menu and start minimised Onlive but thats about it. Not sure if anything can be done about this...
Wired xbox controller works well though
I downloaded a patched version of onlive app from the onlive helper thread in xperia play forum on the third page there approximately and it works with ps3 controller but maping is slightly off. Square is a, triangle is b, dpad seems to only move after continues pressing but left analogue seems to replace dpad moves perfecty. I played lego batman with no problem and warhammer for bit and found both totally playable. I hope some repatches it properly

Has anyone found a way to use your wii remote with GTAIII.
Iv downloaded the apps I found on the market to connect to my wii remote but I cannot get the controller to control the actions on the screen such as run and jump.
There was one app that allowed you to record touch points as buttons but I couldnt get it to work.
Thanks!
Are you using the classic controler?
You mean the original white wii controller?
If so then yes

It wont work, there arent enough buttons to play that with the wii remote! XX

Well thats not the issue, I just want to know if anyone else has a way of mapping the buttons to the onscreen buttons

Mabe the sixaxis app from the market could help? or use a ps3 controler

Thats for wii remotes isn't it?

Yah it could work, but if you dont have a ps3 already it would become really expensive, if it is just to play one game...

Using wii remote no, but if you get that app we spoke about before, and use a ps3 controller, it may work ^^

No I mean the classic controller that plugs into the WiiMote, the one that it like a hybrid snes/n64 controler. I have used it to play Mario64 on Emulator on Atrix. No idea if it would work for gta but I knew you needed more buttons than just the WiiMote. If you can get away with doit that would be cheaper than buyin a dual shock if you don't already have one.
There are no options to allure the game to be remotely controlled, and the only reason the roms work with the Wiimote is because of built in software on the emulators.
If you play the game through an emulator instead of the direct android version you should be fine.
Btw, op, what was the name of the app that let you program touch points?
Thanks in advance!!!

it was SimpleWiiController -> http://www.appbrain.com/app/simplewiicontroller/ray.android.wii
so there is no way? I have a wii remote and a classic controller, sadly I have no ps3 controller.
RWiimote and another app seem pretend to work, but mapping is not... working I guess.
Yes, i have the same problem, i try to play GTA3 with the WiiMote and only the button directions works, but run or jump, etc dont work
Some additional insight
I'm looking for an answer as well but it seems I might have gotten further than most are getting on this thread.
My setup:
Acer Iconia A100 Tablet
Wii Remote and Classic Controller
Wii Remote IME by Ryan Frawley (Available on the market for like $4 and change)
There is a video and a quick explanation in the first few Google results if you search Wii Remote IME Android, I'd post them but I got an error that I didn't have enough posts yet to do an outside link
One thing that isn't mentioned in either place is that if you are using an add-on controller (Nunchuck or Classic) they'll only show up if they are connected to the Wii Remote before you pair the Wii remote.
Once connected, I was able to go into the controller map and adjust the Classic controller settings to use the keyboard controls I found out by using a Logitech "Keyboard for Android 3.0" (really, that's the model name on the back, I doubt it matters but I found a regular bluetooth keyboard with a windows key on it had some different key mappings though we're not using any non-standard keys.)
Some of the basic controls are:
Up/Accelerator - Up Arrow
Down/Reverse - Down Arrow
Left - Left Arrow
Right - Right Arrow
Sprint/Accelerator - 1
Shoot - 2 (if held, auto-targets closest target)
Jump/Reverse - 3
Enter/Exit Vehicle - 4
Change Radio Station - 5
Change Weapon Next/Look Left in Car - 6
Change Weapon Previous/Look Right in Car - 8
So far, it works, however the buttons appear to be getting "stuck". What I mean for instance is I start walking left and now I'm stuck walking left and can't stop. If I press sprint, it will start running left which I can't stop either. I suspect this is a bug in the IME program or potentially an issue with the game. I will post more if I can get this working as the game is unplayable with a keyboard as you can't easily control the camera, walk, aim and shoot. Playing with only the touchscreen is very clunky as well and really any game that needs analog sticks can't be adequately simulated using the touchscreen IMHO.
I'll post more as I discover it but I really want to get this working so if anybody has ANYTHING to add I'm begging you, add it!
***Edit - After rebooting my tablet and doing the following, the "stuck" problem appears to have resolved itself:
1. Start GTA III, enter your game and press home
2. Start Wii Remote IME
3. Set IME to Wii Remote using settings page in program
4. Go back to GTA from the notification area
5. Test it out, it will probably work!
It also makes sense to point out that I'm using the option to switch back to a different default IME on exit which is the reason I used the order that I did. If you use an automatic task killer, it probably makes sense to make an exception if you can for the Wii Remote IME program in order to keep it open if you want to use that option.
So finished setting up Splashtop and I'm loving it. I have horrible internet speeds but it still works pretty well. I only wish I could find a way to control my PC games using my PS3 controller that is connected to my tablet. I have not tried a USB controller or my 360 adapter so that may work. If anyone knows how to get this to work it would be greatly appreciated.
The program is just a simple remote feature and runs on just basic commands and doesn't recognize game pads. There would have to be another layer to the commands to a virtual game pad installed on the pc that could relay the commands.
It does support controllers, just connect it through USB and make sure you are in gaming mode (3 finger tab).

I've been wanting this specific answer more than anything. This makes me so happy to hear.
I suspect that it's using the native gamepad element in ICS, which makes me hopeful that someone using a PS3 controller & the Sixaxis app with the "Enable Gamepad" setting checked would work too. Good God this makes me excited..

how did you get it to work. I have been messing around with this for days and can't get anything but the D pad and Select button to pick up.
Despite the thread being old I wanted to let everybody know that I've had some success with this, maybe it'll help somebody else in the future. I recently tried using my DS3 with Splashtop GamePad THD via Bluetooth (on a Nexus 7, but it shouldn't matter) and much to my surprise, it works.
I used Sixaxis Controller to pair my DS3 via BT and I enabled the option to have it appear as a regular gamepad. I opened up Splashtop THD, connected and it worked! What I found though, was that it actually depends on the profile you choose. I couldn't play Portal 2 with the profile because for some reason it didn't have enough controller buttons mapped. I switched to Skyrim, reconfigured the key bindings in Portal 2 and it worked well. I find that it's very badly designed, rather than having to use some specific profile, they should just have a way to configure the controller for each profile. Maybe there is a way and I haven't found it.
In any case, the DS3 works via BT, but mind that you're not going to get analog movement control on your PC, since moving the left stick just sends WSAD.
Good evening, ladies and gents of XDA! I'm new to the forums so please forgive me if I'm crossing some lines. I've attempted to look for a similar problem not only on XDA, but through Google as well, but have turned up with no luck. Without further adieu, this is the issue I'm having:
I've read that the Transformer Prime natively supports the Wireless XBox 360 controller. Unfortunately for me, this does not seem to be the case. The buttons do work as I can navigate through the menu with my joystick and the green ring around the menu button flashes (which I'm told is also supposed to happen unless I have the Joystick Center 5 app).
Despite my tablet being able to read my controller, the button mappings are all out of whack. I tried playing OnLive with it and none of the buttons aside for the joystick does what it's supposed to do. I've tried restarting my tablet, but this was met with no avail. I've even purchased the aforementioned Joystick app, but remapping the buttons was unsuccessful. Does anyone know why this "native support" isn't kicking in for me?
I had the same problem, Android supports the controller but most of the games seem not to. I had the official 360 wireless controller with the official wireless receiver, and could only use it for navigating homescreens, icon by icon. Couldn't even go to the next homescreen without first highlighting everything along the way
PS3 one works perfectly on the 2 games I have that I know about them using the controller: GTA3 and Shadowgun.

Hey please can you give me some information on how the wireless controller works?
I was thinkin about buying a wireless controller like logitech F710 or whichever works...but I don't know what else I need. Please can you give me details of what I need and how to Install it to the Asus Transformer Prime...thank you.
Hi, anyone trying to play Shadowguneadzone with Sixaxis (PS3 controller, 4.1.2 rooted stock)? I play a lot with this combo on Nexus 7 (works great), but when I tried today (bought HDMI dongle - trying to play on TV), gamepad will disconnect as soon as I start game in deadzone (e.g. select deathmatch).
When I switch back to sixaxis and pair the gamepad again, the game restarts.
EDIT: My bad, got it working (I didn't have Sixaxis IME selected). And I'm too lame to know how to delete the thread.

I'm not sure how much research you've done on this already, so I'll cover the basics.
You will need to use either a USB OTG to connect the controller with a cable, or be rooted and use the SixAxis app to connect using the PS3 Bluetooth system.
The last time I used the SixAxis app, it wasn't compatible with Android 5.0. Check this out first before purchasing.

The other guy is right, get an OTG cable if you aren't rooted, or you can go wireless and use the SixAxis app. I use the SixAxis app(I'm rooted) and it works flawlessly on 5.0.1. If you go to Gamepad Settings and pick that you want the PS3 controller to be read as a gamepad, it even works natively with the shield tablet, the buttons are mapped on the controller as they are with the shield controller, and when you launch games, it acts like you have a shield controller setup! You can even do the hold-start-to-open-button-mapping with the PS3 controller!
Thanks you very much! Can you confirm me that all games are compatible? Or there is one that have any problem...?

All games that are compatible with the shield controller is compatible, because like I said, when you connect the PS3 controller, the system acts like you just connected an nvidia shield controller. For games that don't have gamepad compatibility, you can hold the start button to bring up an on screen button mapper and place buttons and joysticks in the locations you want.
Excelent! I will buy it

For NVidia Game Mapper, the game you are trying to set up controller maps for must at least have some sort of native controller code implemented.
For example, there are some pinball games that I tried to create a game map for using the Game Mapper. The button assignments would not work. At all.
In some ways, the NVidia Controller is limited by the Nvidia Gamepad Software. Which is a real shame, because the Shield Controller is a great piece of hardware.
If you are using SixAxis, you can set the app to treat all connected PS3 controllers as "Native Controllers".
You can also set up both a touch profile and use the native controller features already included in some games (this is referred to as "hybrid controller mode"). For example, Zen Pinball HD has basic native controller support implemented. But it doesn't have analog plunge for the ball launch. You can set up just the Right Analog Stick as a touch profile, and use the native features to control everything else.

...I provided a "long, drawn out" answer. For someone not used to SixAxis and the powerful options it offers for game mapping (hybrid mode/native controller mode) it is long, drawn out info like this that will allow folks to get the most out of the app.
I also don't feel I repeated your information. I added specific information relating to SixAxis features that your two posts didn't contain.
Sorry to bother you guys but I'm looking for a way to use a gamepad without spending 70 euros on Nvidia's right now. So to see if I got what you said before right, if I'm rooted and install SixAxis I can use a PS3 controller as if it were an Nvidia controller with the device?
Just to clarify your understanding... you DO NOT have to root the device. You only need to root it if you want to use it wirelessly. You can use a USB OTG(which is a few $/€ on amazon) without rooting your device and plug it in directly.

I have an OTG cable and I tried plugging it in this way, it works but the mapping isn't very good, for example Mimpy which is also supposed to be Tegra optimized doesn't work, I can go back and forth with the left joystick (or the arrows) but I can't use the other side of the gamepad to jump as I should. If I connect it wirelessly and use SixAxis does the mapping resemble Nvidia's own gamepad or will I still have the same issues?
