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

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.

Has someone gotten this to work properly on an emulator. I tried using this on n64oid playing super mario 64 and I couldn't get it to work. The keys mapped on the settings but wouldn't respond during gameplay. Yet the ps3 controller is working because it works on the home screen. Is anyone else experiencing the same issues?
its paired but I cannot configure buttons, and pressing left and right on the homescreen nothing happens there either what little step did I miss, and its my default imput selection right now
got it uninstalled the combatabilty app and that seemed I left it on and it really did not work right when you have both apps on
Can someone post the Sixaxis Pair Tool? I cannot go to the developers website, it tells me it is unsafe.
EDIT: Just downloaded it through my phone instead. ESET can be aggressive
So is there still no one who has actually gotten this to work with an emulator? I got it to pair with the phone properly, and was able to set controls in SNES9x, but I couldn't get it to actually respond in game. It navigated the phone just fine though
Actually it would be interesting to see if this works with the webtop over hdmi mods? Anyone tried this yet?

It´s not working for me...
When I click Start on the Compatibility Checker, it says "Driver Started" and just stays there. It´s not showing the Local Bluetooth Address in the bottom of the screen.
Any help?
You have yo download the pairing tool from the website and pair ur controller through a computer using the program

D-Pad and Joysticks just register as the same thing. The D buttons work (clicking the Joysticks). Anyone else have this problem?
*** Edit ***
Noticed in some reviews that the dev emailed them back about this. You just need to assign values for those key presses manually.

I used the pc program, and it showed the bluetooth address of the controller OK.
What I don't have is the local bluetooth address from the Atrix, cause the compatibility checker is not working...

sorry for the slow reply, i've been playing with my a500 and in those forums. here is a quick guide and some answers...
you need:
ps3 controller
usb cable for controller
rooted phone/tablet
sixaxis controller test app
sixaxis controller app
pc with windows (i don't have linux or mac sorry)
motioninjoy (for windows)
getting ready:
download and install the test app on your phone. run it and press start. allow root. upon success a bluetooth code will appear at the bottom of the app. note this.
next, download and install motioninjoy to your pc. run the ds3 tool. connect your ps3 controller to the pc via cable. click on "bluetooth pair." select manual mac address. refer to the code on your phone, this is the bluetooth's mac address. enter each pair backwards! i.e. if your address on the phone says A8.53.D1.29.52 then on ds3 enter 52.29.D1.53.A8
now purchase and download the actual app to your phone. run it. click start. disconnect the controller and press the "ps" or center button. the app should read the controller and the controller should have one solid light on P1. if so, it works. don't forget to go to settings and allow the input and change input to the controller.
in the options you can change the hardware keys inputted by the controller, i.e. home, back, letters, numbers. you can set different values for the sticks than the digital pad or set it up to control your phone.
this controller app can control any of your games/apps that check for hardware input. gameloft games (and most games) do not so it will not work for these games.
i will clean this up tomorrow with links and stuff, sorry for the sloppiness. if this helps, thank me! l8r
Well, I solved my problem.
My root was not working properly, so the compatibility checker on the Atrix was not showing the bluetooth address.
Thanks people!

I went through the process of pairing my ps3 controller to the tabs bluetooth and got it to connect and respond using six axis app. But then I can't make it do anything else - when I press a button nothing happens no matter how I redefine the keys. I noticed that the website said it may not work with new samsung devices but someone reviewing the app said it worked fine. Any hints on how to get it to work? Do I need a non-samsung rom?

Can you give a bit more info? What Rom and Kernel are you using? What software did you use to connect them? People will help if you give them relevant info.
I am using the six axis controller app from the market. On stock touchwiz with the latest small update applied and rooted (UEKME). You have to be rooted for the app to work at all.
Do you want to navigate through the Android OS or do you want to play games with it? Most regular games don't work with the PS3 controller. Usually people use the controller to play roms with emulators. There you can map the buttons to actions in the settings menu to play the game.
As for the Android OS navigation, as far as I know only the directional buttons work to navigate the home screen and some menues but that's it. You could try mapping different functions to the buttons right from the sixaxis app. It should work if you select the right options.
Update: I resolved the issue with a restart... The program now works perfectly for gaming (including using both analogue sticks eg for N64). In theory you can map any key or function to the buttons but it would be hard work actually doing anything else but gaming. I definitely recommend the below app, though:

How can I configure it to play Fifa 12 ?
It works while you navigate the home page thing the XMB, but does not work on games as far as i've noticed.
no…..i have seen on youtube Fifa 12 being played by a PS3 controller paired by Sixaxis but configured correctly….i have tried to search for the Fifa 12 map file to load it into Sixaxis but couldn't find it

get Sixaxis from the market, put your controller in pairing mode & with Sixaxis just pair it with your Androind device. Then you will need to get the key map of the game you will be playing & load it onto Sixaxis. That's what I am looking for, for Fifa 12.

It's not too difficult to create the profiles yourself. Just take a screenshot of the game controls, then in the Sixaxis app go to Preferences->Touch Emulation->Edit Touch Profiles. Next, change the background and start adding buttons to match up with the controls. The only trick is with the analog stick - make sure you resize it to match the virtual joystick radius. It shouldn't take more than a minute to set up.

The game automatically switch the controller between offensive and defense. And the button are on the same place.
Just do the touch profiles with offensive screenshot. When ju loose the ball it goes to defense. When you win back the ball it switch to offensive. And the buttons are always on the same place, just gets different function.

This is my profile for FIFA 2012. I use it on my acer a500 tab.

Right I have been using the tf201 for about 4 months now I love it to bits! Theres some things that get annoying with it but I believe theres nothing like it. Recently I stumbled across some games that I feel can easily be played better with a keyboard(and a controller which i figured out).
What I am wondering here is how could I play the games I want using the keyboard eg, a racing game which would use arrow keys.. is there an app for mapping the keys on the keyboard is there a tutorial link to such an app?
All support is welcome
Thanx for your patience
Try sixaxis. Not only does it let you pair your PS3 controller, set custom scren inputs per each button, but it also lets you use keyboard inputs in place of game controllers. Its a paid app but well worth the money.

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?
