I have recently rooted my thunderbolt and now I am looking for a console controller that I can use to play ps1 games. I think I could use the ps3 controller with sixaxis if I did the cm7 mod, but I was looking for something less complicated that will allow me to maintain my current interface. Any leads????

I recently read an article stating that Honeycomb 3.1 can connect to an Xbox 360 controller. This is possible due to an "open accessory API." I was wondering if it was possible to rip this API from Android 3.1 and implement it into a custom rom.
I would like to hear from anybody who thinks this is possible and would like to have this feature in a rom. My personal reason for wanting this is for use in emulators such as N64oid, FPse, and Gameboid.
Yea this would most def be nice very cool we need it the very much hatedby me i phone has this option to use wii motes
Wii remotes are cool and all but the overall handling of an Xbox controller would be awesome
what about a ps3 remote?
Seems like it's available in Gingerbread according to faux's thread...
3.A new USB accessory Chat support is added (hm... I wonder what types of USB Chat accessories )
4. USB HOST support in the now officially in framework
USB chat must be the thing google showed the N1 or NS doing at one of the I/O events. And PS3 controller should work too since xbox+wii work, maybe ps3 can be fixed to work thru BT.
I want the ps3 remote because I'm so use to it but after searching through xda I found that it currently wasn't possible. I only brought up the Xbox controller because it is a known fact that it is possible on android 3.1
To play games via bluetooth from joystick looks like fun with better control. I don't like the onscreen control in the game as they are hard to control. Do you know will bluetooth joystick works and if yes where to buy from?
If you have a Wii, install Wiimote Controller on your Tab and use the Wii controller to play your games.
No I don't have Wii any other option?
The IControlPad. Its pretty expensive though. Search it.

Which game controller do you recommend? I'm mainly looking to use it on my tab for emulators and whatever android games are compatible with a controller.
I was looking at a sixaxis just because it looks like it can connect wirelessly with the app but I'd be willing to buy a USB connector and flash a kernel to make a controller compatible. Also I don't know if the dual shock 3 controller works with the sixaxis app. (I'm not sure if that's an entirely different thing)
I guess I'm mainly wondering which controller is most compatible, meaning full joy stick control and things like that.
Thanks if you can help me out!
I'm currently using my PS3 controller with the new Sixaxis App from the store. All you need is Root access and to pair your PS3 controller with a PC to tell it what your tablets Bluetooth MAC address is and it should work. I've been using it ever since with all my emulators and it works like it's supposed to.
There is also an app from the same dev to test if the controller works with your device but if its a GT 10.1 and a regular PS3 controller there shouldn't be an issue.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
If not I'm probably going to grab a sixaxis but I want to be sure I'm getting the best since I'm not tied down to a controller for a console I already own.
Thanks
There is already another Q & A thread started by me from a while ago where some people listed a few alternatives. Just search the Q & A forum or check the first few pages and you will find the thread. Since I already own a PS3 and the other controllers aren't that available in my country it was an easy choice for me. Hope that helps.
Hey everyone. Since we got bluetooth working on AOSP roms we can finally use our bluetooth controllers to play games.
So since we are past that step I'd like to start a thread on compatibility.
N64 Runs great. FPSE I can't seem to get running on an AOSP rom.
Anyone else have any success stories to share?
wait whhaaatt....
using bluetooth... to control nintendo roms on your phone... that is brilliant! your rom has to support bluetooth, obviously, and you need a controller that connects to bluetooth devices.
how did you get this to work?? that is one thing i miss a lot from my old phone is all the SNES, gameboy, sega game emulation.
Aosp roms have the correct bluetooth stacks. I use a Wiimote with a classic controller Attached. You can also just use a ps3 controller.

I actually can't get FPse to play anything on AOSP
awesomeness!
Hello, I'm wondering what I need to do to get my prime to connect w/ a ps3 controller via Bluetooth? Don't have the dock, but I want to connect via HDMI & use the ps3 controllers for my kid to play gta3 and similar games
I'm not rooted, but I'm comfortable rooting & unlocking boot loaders if necessary.If anyone has any advice, links, or apps to help me with this I'd appreciate it. I'm not a gamer but my kids are asking me to figure this out. I've checked a couple of vids on YouTube,but it seems most are using the USB port on the dock. I really don't have any other use for a dock, so if there's a way to do this without it, then I'll save some cash. Thanks all....
I recommend that you root and then use the Sixaxis controller app.
Sixaxis Controller App
The best thing about that is that you can make touch profiles so you can play all games with a gamepad.
The app works really good and there are guides on the devs homepage. Really easy to get it to work.
And have you used the search function? Did just a quick search on PS3 and look what i got
Asus Transformer Prime + PS3 Controller wirelessly without bluetooth enabled
Sony Branded PS3 Controller works wirelessly without root!
Is it possible to pair PS3 controller with no root and no USB/dock?
