someone for the love of god port this to work on touchpad!
pretty cool though heh? as long as you have a nvidia cpu on both your desktop and tab, you can play real skyrim. This would be absolutely sick if you can use your pc mods with this too. I am in no way a dev, and i know nothing about making apps, so i cant really do a port for this, but i thought maybe someone here loves skyrim as much as I do.
I think you mean nVidia GPU for the PC. nVidia doesn't make CPUs for x86 yet.
Interesting. I don't have a PC powerful enough anyway and I don't really have any interest in Skyrim but it's great that this is even possible. Makes me think that services like Onlive aren't far off taking over.

I doubt it because the TP has a qualcom snapdragon while you need a tegra 3 inorder to play skyrim on your tablet

Yea exactly. Doesn't matter at all what CPU or GPU your computer or tablet is running. Splashtop works fine regardless.

The only reason they say it REQUIRES Nvidia is that they are releasing a THD (Tegra HD) app and it was an Nvidia presentation. So of course they are going to say that you need an Nvidia graphics card and an Nvidia based tablet, etc. Utter nonsense.

thanks guys
I've also been running Skyrim on my Touchpad via Splashtop and it works fine. As pointed out, it's basically the same thing those guys at the Nvidia booth were doing.
Question for the other people in the thread running Skyrim, what are you using for a controller? I am using my wireless 360 controller with the PC dongle extension hooked up to my PC's usb. It has a pretty good range around most of my apartment, but I don't really have something I can use to play it when I'm away from home.
Well, I have the HP bluetooth keyboard and a bluetooth mouse but I think that would be kind of clunky. Are there any good controllers that work well w/ CM7?
so splashtop works regardless? nice, im pretty sure that was one of those 10 cent apps i picked up during the sale. so what are the chances of connecting a ps3 or xbox controller to the touchpad so i could play at school or work or something?

Yep, it runs fine for me over wifi, though I haven't tried it over 3G/4G yet.
Supposedly, ICS has better support for gaming controllers so maybe with CM9 we'll have more options there. I seem to remember some people saying they've paired PS3 bluetooth controllers to their Android tablets running CM7 so I think it's doable but I've not tried yet.
I'm not sure if you can get a 360 controller working on it, I don't think the wireless one will because there's no drivers for it even if you get the dongle hooked up via an adapter. You might be able to get a wired one to work but then you'd have to use a Y adapter to pull in power for it.
I wish there was just an easy option for a standardized wireless gaming controller that worked well on Android without jumping through a bunch of hoops.
The Dualshock 3 and sixaxis PS3 controller works with some app from the market. Seen it in action and its pretty flawless.

You CAN use your PC mods with this, as Skyrim is actually running on your PC and streaming to your tablet. Also, this should be possible on a touchpad with Chainfire3D running on it. I am going to try it right now, in fact.

Personally, I have found Splashtop to be the best/fastest for any multimedia intensive remoting, and I have tried many. Were you connecting via the internet or local wifi ?
I think the point of that presentation is that its using tegra to recieve the compressed stream from an nvidia gpu. The regular splashtop app works exactly the same but in my experience the frame rates lag behind on the remote device to the point where i find the whole thing unplayable even on wifi at 720.
The controller is plugged in to the tablet, not the host pc.
The key word, optimization. If someone can get the stream that sharp with almost zero lag in a chainfired config on the touchpad, i would love to see it, cuz i haven't been able to achieve that myself

So I was curious what are the best emulators for the TP?
I have dreams of playing NCAA12 (xbox360/ps3) on my Prime, but I know thats not realistic. But what about a PSP emulator? Or even an xbox/ps2 emulator?
I know about the PSX emulators, just curious if there is anything that can play some newer games...
Not yet...in due time..this still a brand new device with a brand new tegra3 5 core chip which has never been used before. Give it some time for developers n app makers to make the most of it. If you want games, check out the link in my signature
If you want to play some retro PC games (LucasArts etc) can recommend SCUMMVM. Works great.

onlive is the streaming game service right? i think I saw it on pulse before. Im not a fan of non-native apps
I was testing out a some N64 roms today via N64oid & tried Zelda Ocarina Of Time & Super Mario 64. Awesome no lag and smooth.
Also tried SNESoid which is the Super Nintendo version. Fun stuff. All this via a Xbox controller

Xbox 360 controller is plug-n-play.
Wireless PS3 SixAxis and DualShock controllers has drivers that require root and some savvy.
I would also use a Xbox360 Controller, its easy to use on Prime and also works on PC without much install problems like PS3.
Try use Splashtop for playing PC games, works very well with Skyrim.
I did not mean how to get a controller to work on the prime. When I tried Onlive I could move around the menu's but the games would not work with the controller.

Zero lag, the graphics are very smooth, but, as I already mentioned, the controls are quite bad.
There's no lag, but it took me about an hour to map all the gamepad controls since the touchscreen compatibility is literally ****ed up. Now that I can play with a gamepad it works flawlessly though.

Wait what? how do you play it with a gamepad controller? I was SO MAD about the touch controls as it would randomly shoot and I can't stop the waste of bullet's and especially that annoying moment where you can't aim at the bad guy's in the first scene after shooting the top corner's of the gate

In sixaxis controller I checked "enable gamepad, " then Shadowgun enables the gamepad menu and allows you to assign bindings from within the game. I bet plugging in a xbox controller would work as well. I'm not sure if keyboard emulation works anymore, but I don't see why not.

You would have to insmod the gamepad module...and then buy a usb adaptor for $20. Then you would need a compatible cable to connect the xbox controller to the tablet.
I just went to Walmart and dropped $60 on a Dual Shock 3 controller though...the Sixaxis Controller app is pretty awesome. (like it's really really really really awesome)
Epic, will try this, can you link a specific picture or sort of the USB adapter? I assume this is a female-female one?

Here's the official Samsung one, I don't know much more about them.
Holy crap?! This would totally save my day, How the **** did I not find something like that? I asked them for ALL their accessories that they had and I got dragged to the stupid cover cases.
Thank's for this, Now I know what it looks like.
I figured you had to use the original cable, then a female-female adapter, then the xbox controller on the other side. All in all a very long ass wire.

Thanks for the tip! I'm using one of my PS3 controllers (no need of USB adapter for pairing with the Tab, just the standard mini USB and sixpair on the PC), works great.
Anyone here use this app? if yes what games do you use it for?
im going to try it with skyrim in a second.
also if i attached a ps3 controller to it do you think itd work?
if it is mapped right ,it should work. and i use it for just remote desktop but since the graphocs are better i thought it would be would be worth it
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
I love the app! It worked perfectly for when I wanted to watch archer downstairs off of my computer, it worked flawlessly when I wanted to sit on the couch and play a game of Civilization 5, and it performed precisely when I wanted to try the Diablo III beta. The Skyrim controls are a little bit harder to get used to, but, if you map a controller right it's all good. In addition to that some games like WoW and SWTOR have issues, but, that's to be expected. It works to a T if you have a dock and keyboard attached to the tablet, but for that you might as well just play on your laptop (assuming you're like me and just got a performance laptop).
I'd say go for it!

Hey guys, I'm new here!
Just wondering if anyone has had much experience using their ps3 or xbox 360 controller with their device to play games? I've been looking into it but I haven't tried it yet. I think it would be great to be able to use them for things like emulators because for example SNES emulators are a bit dodgy to play with touch controls.
I know there's a sixaxis controller app to connect your ps3 controller and I heard that you can use a micro USB to female usb 2.0 to use your wired xbox 360 controller. I also believe you can connect a wireless xbox 360 controller if you have a wireless adapter.
Any thoughts on this?
Hi mate.
I have for the USB adapter for the S3 where you directly plug your controller into your device.it works great and is instantly rcognised! I use the ps3 controller since its more portable.only issue is that the wire and movements may cause the phone to fall when your playing games so you will have to have a good stand. Also for most games, I've used GBA, nes, psx, n64 emulators and GTA Vice city you have to configure the controller which is a pain at first.
I also have used the sixth axis Bluetooth feature which is great as well.just have to get the controller IDs off the PC and configure them to the phones Bluetooth.if you connect the controllers to another device like their consoles or Bluetooth to a PC, the connection to the phone has to be done again on the PC which can be annoying. But If you have the USB phone adapter you can configure it straight away and use it wirelessly.
Only problem I have with this is that gaming can make the phone heat up so its beat to keep the case ventilated and in a cool area to avoid over heating.
But it works very well!

Hey, thank you for the information I have ordered a USB adapter to test out the xbox 360 controller which seems like the easiest option. I might get some sort of stand as well then because I can imagine it becoming annoying.. which leads me to think that although the ps3 controller seems to need a bit more messing around with, I like the idea of a wireless controller.
I was wondering about the over heating possibility although I've only really noticed the handset getting pretty hot whilst playing vice city.
Cannot wait to test this out!
Yep, as mentioned a USB On The Go cable works great with the S3. PS3 controller works just fine.. I think I remember having trouble with the 360 controller. And the sixaxis app does works great too

Oh great, thank you that's good to know my PS3 is at university so I'll try that when I get back there in a couple weeks. As for the USB cable for the xbox controller, I didn't realise I needed an OTG cable (a normal one didn't work today haha) luckily they're cheap, it should arrive tomorrow
I use the sixaxis control app and my second ps3 controller.
You can wireless control your whole phone with your ps3 controller,like changing music and videos,scrolling trough the homescreen.
If you already have a second ps3 controller its pointless to buy a usb adapter since you can buy the app for one buck and have much more comfort.

That's because people don't care about the rules.
To use a ps3 controller via the cable it will work natively, to use the Xbox controller there is an app called USB BT joycenter which is available on the market.
There is also an app called sixaxis controller which will enable bluetooth for your phone and ps3 controller.
To play the games on your phone there is something called a Gameklip which is available in the accessories section of XDA in the sgs3 part.
I've bought one myself and it's really well made and works a charm.
If you are thinking of using two bluetooth pads and using the MHL cable to send the signal to a TV that is also possible but MHL on the S3 isn't great, the vast majority of people have an issue with the screen being set at a low refresh rate, or being stuck on 720p.
I myself have two LED 3D tvs, one LG which shows the picture in 1080p but at 30hz
And a panasonic viera which shows it in 1080i @ 60hz, the viera is much quicker and the input delay isn't as noticeable.
If you go down the bluetooth ps3 controller route then you will want to check out the themes and apps section to get profiles for the most popular games for the six axis app.
Hope this helps.

Yes it does.
As for the xbox controller, it is a bit too chunky to play games on your phone, not very portable and you also have to worry about that big cable dangling around all the time.
Also there is a kernel (perseus) which apparently has support for the xbox controller too.

Thank you this information is very helpful.
I did not realise that android 4.2 makes it difficult to use Bluetooth devices. (I'm on cyanagenmod 10.1). Currently I am having trouble getting the Xbox 360 controller to work with emulators and any game for that matter using the USB BT joy center app. I'm following all the instructions and recommendations to a tee! Is this because I'm on 4.2? I know the OTG cable works because it recognises the controller in the app plus I can use a USB mouse with my device.
Also I never before considered using the Wii remote. I tried to pair mine but the problem was down to the fact I have 4.2 installed. Is there any way round this? I haven't found a solution so far. In don't really want to have to downgrade

I can vouch for the Gameklip with a PS3 controller. Works very well, and is remarkably similar to Nvidia's new Project Shield.
I use a wired connection to the S3 because it's simpler and also because I found sometimes SixAxis would get pushed out of memory and closed if I was playing a heavy game. Annoying if your controller stops working mid-game.

Okay, so got time for a response.
It was in General section, which is against the rules. I reported the thread and a mod moved it in QA. Got it?
If you think that enforcing the rules is silly, you don't belong here.
What exactly do I have to read?
Looking to expand my game collection on the DNA to some serious games, that of GTA3 & nature. Since the PS3 controller doesn't work (yet:fingers-crossed due to BT stack being all screwy (thanks HTC), any other options available?
There's the moga controller for $50. It's a bit pricey but it works with the DNA.

Yeah, I just found it on Amazon for $32. Curious how well it works. I also saw the Ipega one for $37.

At least you found it cheaper. I don't have one but apparently it works well from what I've read.

Yeah. I've found that Amazon can have some killer deals on some things you might be looking for, namely such.
the moga works well. i got one when they were giving them out for 5 bucks(just pay shipping). i use it from time to time. gets a little weird if you have it linked to a tablet and a phone like i have it for my nexus 7 and dna, but still works. you might just have to delink it and relink it to whichever you want to play at that time. definitely worth the money if you're big into console gaming on android.

Much appreciated for the info. I think I just might be sold on the moga, if it's still in stock by the time I can order it.
I own a Moga controller, use it for my Nexus 7. Pretty awesome gadget to have for mobile gaming!
the moga pro (if same price) might be better. looks way more awesome and probably feels really nice. unless you're going for portability... either one should be good.
I bought a Moga from Wal-Mart so that I could return it if I didn't like it... and I returned it. It irritated me that they went with proprietary support instead of as a general bluetooth gamepad. Most of what I wanted to use it with wouldn't work, and honestly the games that did support it seemed laggy. I'd let go of the thumbsticks and things would still keep moving. It's a shame, cuz it's a really slick controller, and that built-in clip is also awesome, but in the end it just didn't work for me. I also didn't care for the lack of a d-pad (yes, the pro has one, but I like the smaller form factor), and the buttons felt shallow and clicky and required too much pressure to use for my tastes.
I also tried the Nyko Playpad, and while I felt it was a better controller by having a d-pad and two more L/R buttons which were analog, I never got to actually use it because the damn thing didn't work at all on my DNA no matter what mode I used. My phone would "connect" to it, but the gamepad would still keep blinking at me as if it hadn't connected, and it never worked even for a moment.
Note to HTC: if you want to sell phones, stop needlessly f***ing them up. I love my phone, but I hate what they and Verizon have done to it... it'll probably be the first and last HTC phone I ever own, and that's a real shame.

Aside from my last post, has anyone tried a bluetooth gamepad that actually works besides the Moga? I'm dying to get my emulation on with a gamepad, and without root and roms I can't use my previous go-to, my PS3 controller. Actually, has anyone tried a PS3 controller through USB? I'm really curious to know what people have tried and what works with gamepads and the DNA.
the ps3 controller works with sixaxis app don't think it works with usb though.

It does not work on the DNA. Did you even try it?
He's right about the Bluetooth. I haven't tried it using CM yet, will probably try it later on today.
PS3 Controller Works Fine

I have been enjoying using my PS3 controller on my phone for a while. Does the bluetooth stack have anything to do with firmware? If so it probably works for me because I'm running an AOSP ROM. I didn't try it on the stock ROM before I flashed a new one.
bump.any luck with any Bluetooth controllers on stock Rom with DNA? thanks
