What is NOT interesting about it?
I would love to use a sixaxis (or any other controller) for n64 emulators, snes emulators, psx emulators and so on. using the touchscreen as controller is ruining the experience and potential of emulators.
BTW, if you dont have anything constructive or informative to write in these forums, stfu.

I got to borrow my friends PS3 controller:
The buttons wont hold in snes emulator, like if you run forward pressing |> and the press X to jump at the same time, I'll have to repress again after the jump |> to keep running in supermario It may be the emulator that does not support "multitouch" so I'll report back tomorrow when I'll buy my own PS3 controller.
Anyone know if the XBOX 360 controller will work w/USB host adapter?

No I mean wouldnt it be better to read and learn and gain more knowledge that will be helpful to your future?
I have read, learned, and gained knowledge. And I can honestly say that using a ps3 controller for emulators running on my tab is going to be ****ing awesome for my future!
Shouldn't you be working on that taskbar color?

Aspie much? Who cares?
Alright, sent and e-mail and got a reply. A bug in the program. Updated and now can connect with PS3 controller. Everything is working smoothly, running splendidly on n64oid 2.1.

I appreciate that information
What ROM's have you tried that is working smooth?
I've tried Super Mario 64, Wave Race 64, Golden Eye and Mario Kart 64.
They all run without hickups or any lag!
Pilot Wings 64 on the other hand gives me black polygons and crackling audio noises.
Should there be a separate thread for Emulator ROM's maybe?
Hey,
I'm having trouble pairing my controller with my Tab,
I installed the Sixaxis Pair Tool and i entered the Bluetooth Mac Address of my Tab (I didn't find it in the actual app, when i pressed Start, on the Tab but i had to enter Android Settings and About.
Anyway, under Current Master it shows the Bluetooth Mac Address of my Tab, i then unplugged the controller, pressed the PS button, and pressed Start in the App on the Tab and it says Connection Initiated.... and thats it, the controller is blinking but it doesn't seem to wanna connect to the Tab
Any help would be appreciated
P.S. I followed the instructions on http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/instructions.html
Fixed it with a restart of my Tab, apparently my tab wasn't asking for root until i rebooted,
Great app by the way
My controller is being recognized by the N64oid app when i have to configure the inputs. When I go to play a game though, it won't recognize the controller.
Best money spent on my TAB so far Working perfectly with Snes9x EX.
i followed everything and the app says connection established however, my controller doesn't stop blinking any thoughts? should I just assume that this app doesn't work with samsung devices at all?

I had a problem with mine not registering input even after following the setup and my lights saying it was connected as controller 1. I deleted the sixaxis compatibility checker and then rebooted, started the connection, hit the ps button, and selected sixaxis controller as input and it worked flawlessly. If you're 100% positive you're doing everything word for word and changed the sixaxis' bluetooth address to match your tab's then try a reboot and see if it fixes it.
So the controller finally works. When you enable IME in N64oid the controller will start working. I don't know if anyone else noticed, but does the software support full analog control? I can't get Mario to stop running at full speed even thought i am pushing the stick only a little .
If you are having trouble getting the controller started do this....
Download and SixAxisPairTool on your pc.
Plug the controller into your pc with the usb cable that came with the ps3.
Hit the power button on the controller. A set of numbers will show on top with a empty box below.
On the tablet, run SixAxis Controller. There will be a bluetooth address at the bottom of the screen. Copy these numbers/letters into the sixaxispairtool on your pc.
Unplug the controller, hit start on the controller app on the tablet and hit the power button on the controller. Hit configure input settings and switch to ps3 controller.
You should be all set to go! Good Luck!
The sixaxis works great with every emulator I have tried it with so far. Are there any non-emulator apps that anyone has got working? Any android games that are not emulators? If there are some, then maybe we need to get a list going of what apps work with the sixaxis controller and which ones do not.
I am also all in favor of getting a list of what rom's work for each system.
I have tested mario kart and 007 for N64 and they both work. I have also tested nba jam tournament edition for snes and that works. I am really bummed because cruisn usa will not work in the n64 emulator. The screen is off to the left. Has anyone else tried that one? I love playing cruisn usa.

In N64oid or whichever emulator you are running, go to settings, other settings, and then tick the box for "Use input method"
I'm having the same issue as amarp84
pairing is fine, bluetooth address is fine, connection is established no worries and it says that there is a client connected, but the lights won't stop blinking and sync to a controller port
i'm on 10.1v ... anyone else got it working on the tab so i know if it's just me?
I works great on my tab 10.1.
Anyone get keys to map with N64oid? I cant get multiple joysticks, they all map as DPAD down etc so i cant use seperate joysticks
Hi folks, I have been able to get my ps3 controller and wiimotes to hook up to my transformer and dock to play games on emulators with no issues. Unfortunately, neither of these controllers work well on the n64 games. I bought an USB N64 controller off amazon this week and received it today, but it won't work correctly. http://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-Cont...ZDPE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327084707&sr=8-1 - this is the controller I got. It lights up, and when programming the keymapping, it registers that there was a key pushed, but the buttons don't work. I went through and did the keymapping three times, but once finished and you try to push start at the beginning of a game, nothing happens. Are there drivers we can install on android, or is this controller just simply not compatible with android? Anyone have any ideas on this?
Try the USB Joystick app on the Market

ps3 controller works fine. Just map ps3 keys in n64oid and you are set. I am in the middle of kirby 64 right now. The c controls+z was tricky but i got it. You might need to go to sixaxis and change the keys for some of the buttons. No matter what you assign the button to it will be different when you map it in n64oid. Good luck
It depends on the emulator you are using i know that n64oid will only work for sixaxis controllers, but mupen64 will be your best bet, I just plug in an xbox 360 controller into my dock and it works perfectly using mupen as an emulator.:laugh:
Try mupen64
I used my original N64 controller and a n64 to usb conveyer with the muper64 emulator. Add it weren't a solid connection it kept starting/stopping but did work and could map buttons, even load a n64 profile.
I use a Logitech copy of an Xbox controller to play Dark Forces in AnDOSbox. Works great. Plugs into my dock and is recognized right away.

I have one and it works great with Shadowgun, Riptide and other games but when I tried to use it with Dead Trigger it doesn't seem to be able to map the buttons. I press the escape button on the controller and the game asks if I really want to quit so I know the game sees the controller it just won't let me set it up. I tried all the buttons and the escape button is the only one that works. Any Ideas?
I sadly bought one of these controllers as well and at this point wish I had not. The problem lies in the fact that this "gamepad" is detected as a keyboard by the Prime. The easiest way to test this is to open up a text editor on the Prime and start pressing buttons you will notice that the "gamepad" is mapped to W A S D and various number keys (1-9)... For these same reasons you can't use this controller with USB/BT Joystick Center as it detects as a keyboard (actually this was how I figured this out was by using the controller detection testing APKs on the forums site of the creator of USB/BT Joystick Center... If only I had figured this out closer to when I bought it so I could return it.
That sucks. I'll give my Wii controller a try then and if it doesn't work I'll find a used PS controller since Sixaxis seems so popular.
Yep I have had a Dual Shock 3 on my list of things to get for a while now, those and the XBOX Wireless controllers work the best from what I have seen, with the latter needing an extra adapter (why I am going with the former as well).
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.

The on-screen NVidia Key Mapper, like I specifically pointed out, only works for some games. Which is why...

...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?
