SixAxis App Multiplayer Support? - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime
I've been trying to find some of the best apps for adding a PS3 controller via bluetooth for my N64oid app. I've found some great mappings on here, but I'm curious if there's any way I can enable more than one controller using this combination of the two apps.
I heard N64oid supports multiplayer with no problem, but SixAxis I'm just not sure about. Has anyone heard anything or tried it out?
I have not tried it, but from looking at the two apps, it should be very easy.
In sixaxis, go to Menu > Preferences > Input Mappings > and select 2nd or high controller. Then map keyboard values to the controller (be sure to not use buttons that are taken for another controller). Lastly, go into the N64oid settings and map the second controller.
Let me know how it works!

Hey, thanks for the support, I tried this but when I do both my PS3 controllers (connected via wires) have the same input buttons as far as N64oid is concerned...Like up on controller one is the same as up on controller two... Is there something I'm doing wrong?
I'd also like to know if the transformer will actually charge the controllers and connect via bluetooth, so far I've only used wired.
Thanks!

Are you using the sixaxis app and having this problem, or is this just using the native usb gamepad support? If it's the latter, than I don't have an answer; I don't even know if the native support allows multiple controllers. If you are using the sixaxis app, then be sure that the key mappings within that program are seperate, before you try and map within N64oid (basically have to map things twice, first the controller to keyboard values (within sixaxis), then those values to N64 keys (within N64oid)).
Don't know about charging over usb, I want to say yes, but I can't back that up. As for bluetooth, you can do it (it is what I do), but it requires an app like sixaxis (which requires root).
It works. All you have to do is get the Sixaxis Pair tool (make sure you have a computer nearby and a usb cable) and then when you open n64oid, to to input>key mappings> enable controller 1 + 2 and then set the appropriate controls. If this doesn't work, go to other settings>and check use input method
EDIT: Make sure it's compatible using the compatibility checker

Couldn't get this to work for me. Got both controllers connected but could not not get them to differentiate between the two. everything controls player 1
kinda solution
i have kinda got this working now, was able to successfully play 2 player mario cart today.
in sixaxis here is what i did....
once you have both controllers paired to the phone and change IME is set to sixaxis.
go to preferences
go to game pad settings
make sure enable gamepad is NOT CHECKED
go to edit mappings and make sure everything is as its supposed to be up is up, left is left, right is right, etc etc.
now open n64oid
go to settings
go to input settings
go to key mappings
enable controller 1
load profile 1
clear all the settings so everything says "none"
leave d-pad left, right, up, down as <none> (for some reason i havent figured out yet, if you set these it stops the other controller working). then do the following
c-left, right, up and down are also mapped as <none> (i dont know what these do either)
then map the following buttons of controller 1
start
button A
button B
L trigger
R trigger
Z trigger
(map those buttons to whatever buttons you want)
analog left, analog right, analog up, analog down, (map these to the analog directions on the left analog stick of controller 1)
leave the rest as <none>
scroll back up to the top as save it as profile 1
now
enable controller 2
load profile 2
clear all the settings so everything says "none"
leave d-pad left, right, up, down as <none> (for some reason i havent figured out yet, if you set these it stops the other controller working). then do the following
c-left, right, up and down are also mapped as <none> (i dont know what these do either)
then map the following buttons of controller 2
start
button A
button B
L trigger
R trigger
Z trigger
(map those buttons to whatever buttons you want)
analog left, analog right, analog up, analog down, (map these to the analog directions on the left analog stick of controller 2)
leave the rest as <none>
scroll back up to the top as save it as profile 2
--------now it should work hopefully for both players to have an effective race------
one thing i found weird is when mapping the analog stick of controller 1 it saved all the directions for both analog sticks and the joypad directions as d-pad left, right, up, down regardless of which one you used to map the key
but for controller 2 it saved the directions as unknown 17, unknown 18 for analog left and righ on both analog sticks
analog up =A analog down =B again for both analog sticks
on the joypad it was up =C down =D
left = A
right = B
i'm hoping someone can take this information and refine it a bit to make more sense but maybe this will help some people troubleshoot a bit further. I'd love to figure out how to get this working for 4 controllers but having seen how it is above im not sure if it will be possible. Also to get it working for golden eye might also be tricky.
thanks and good night.
hello i have a similar question. If i put one ps3 gamepad with sixaxis controller could i use at the same time a bluetooth gamepad in order to play multiplayer games?
Because i am not right now on my android tv box i can not recall if i get sixaxis controller i could use to pair at the same with bluetooth gamepad. I will try though later so i could give a feedback, if anybody cares.

Wiimote Controller Classic Controller
I'm not sure what part is bugging out but there is one issue when using a Classic Controller. When using a Classic Controller, buttons activate that aren't pressed. For instance, while playing Super Mario World, Mario will suddenly turn the other way to a second or even jump without even pressed the button mapped for B. Does this have to do with the Wiimote app, the phone's bluetooth, the emulator? A combination? (It isn't the Classic Controller. I tried two different ones just to make sure.)
[Q] gta3 with a gamepad? via computer,not bluetooth
I am trying to get my xbox 360 wired controller to work with gta3 and its somewhat working. Im using Xpadder, a gamepad profiler that can make the controller emulate and mouse/keyboard movement and then using "wifi keyboard" app to get it to move across to my phone. However i cant get mouse movements to register and can only really get basic walking and driving controls working, such as steering and walking. I cant figure out how to make the controller use any weapons, sprint, but entering and exciting vehicles works fine. Is there a better app to do what im trying to do? I searched and couldn't find any and am curious if anyone else has tried to do the same thing i am. I really need like a list of what the translation for the pc version would be, like what keyboard button was used for the ebrake, drivebys, etc because thats the only way i am able to get this controller to work. I have been working off of a list of pc controls but am still unable to figure out how to make the controller fire or use weapon or switch between weapons, i know it was default to mouse left click or left control but neither work for me. And ive literally gone over my entire keyboard pressing random buttons to see if i can make it fire or switch weapons.
Sixaxis controller doesn't quite work!
Hello! I recently bought a playstation 3 controller to use with my PC and emulators on my Tablet. I discovered that without root i wasn't able to fully utilize the controller on my tablet. I got to work and rooted my tablet, bought sixaxis controller and set it up. I am now able to connect with the app and bind keys in the emulator with the app. However when i exit the key-binding menu and begin to play a game the emulator suddenly doesn't recognize any of my button presses made with the app. I made a touch profile so that i could play but i really want to be able to play without this touch profile. I've googled with no results for days and i now ask you, what do you think is wrong? And how can i fix it?
Which emulators are you using this with? With some of them you have to set up the bindings in the emulator app.
If you bought a cheap ps3 controller on ebay it will not work. If you buy a legit PS3 controller it will work. Common problem, aftermarket controllers have a slightly different bluetooth profile that its kind of goofy... If you have a legit controller then it must be other settings! Lets start from the beginning. FIRST TIME! If its your first time pairing the controller to the tablet you need to get a USB cable and plug it into the dock. Start up the app press the "pair controller" button. This tells the controller which address to connect to. If you dont do this then the controller is looking for a PS3 which your tablet obviously is not. If it is NOT your first time, or you have used the PC utility to manually change the bluetooth address on the controller Start up the app Press Start Turn on the controller Remember, you must change the IME (input) from whatever keyboard you have to sixaxis. Once you see the message in the window say you are paired press the up down left right buttons on the ps3 controller, you SHOULD see things happen on the screen. If not you did something wrong. If you want to use touch profiles select it from the box If the above does not work check with the PC utility that your controller is trying to pair to the correct bluetooth address. Note sometimes the sequence is reversed - 12:23:34:45:56:67 can sometimes be 67:56:45:34:32:12. Different applications on the PC work differently. Make sure you are using the latest LEGIT copy. If you are pirating this software it likely wont work. Check on the market you are updated to the latest version. If all else fails, contact the developer or check the developers website. I know it works with the prime im running it on mine, works great! Good luck! EDIT Re-reading OP i'd say it sounds like you forgot to change the IME. Maybe check that first

Click to collapse It's a real controller and i did change the IME. I am primarily using the N64 emulator. When i map the keys without sexaxis controller installed most of the keys are named <unknow>. When i start sixaxis controller i get "DPAD_START" or something similar when i map the keys. (after enabeling the IME). So the connecting and mapping goes perfect. But somehow when i exit the settings and start to play it wont detect the keys anymore. It's quite late now, i will test everything again tomorrow to make sure the problem is still there. But i truly don't know what to do.
I don't know about the emulator you're using, but in NESoid, and SNESoid etc to use sixaxis with it, theres an option in menu>settings>Other settings>"Use Input Method" Enable special input device eg bluetooth gamepad - This needs checked for the controller to work see if this is enabled on yours

No prob man I figured thats what it might be frustrated the hell out of me too Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA
Ya its kind of annoying because with sixaxis you can have it set for controller input, emulate keyboard, or sort of a hybrid (like the experia play does with its keys), different apps deal with these things differently, its just a matter of finding a method that works best for the app your using. Glad to hear you got it working!
Thank you I only rooted to use the controller, I was getting frustrated Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
[Q] Xbox 360 Controller DPad and Deadzone Settings
Hi guys, I recently purchased an USB OTG Adapter to use my XBox 360 Controller on my S3. When I started using the Controller, there were two things that really bugged me. The first is that some apps seem to recognize that I have mapped Controls to the DPad, when I try to use it however, nothing happens. They also seem to treat the left analog stick as a DPad too. I'd appreciate if anyone knew about a way (if it is even possible) to fix this. My second problem is the lack of a Deadzone setting for the analog sticks. The problem that I have with this, is that the analog sticks don't center completely, which sometimes leads to the app thinking that i still press the analog stick in a direction even if I don't. Is there some setting that I have missed, where I can control the Deadzone? Or is there maybe some App that allows me to do this?
Mouse wheel on any button
Hello, I have searched the web but without any solution that I am able to understand. I have bought an android box from china which comes with a ir-remote. As I am plannig to use this box as a desktop replacement as soon as i am able to get my new NAS up to speed I want to be able to use this box comfortably, even from my couch. I use some sites to read comics and most of them work with arrow keys on chrome. Some have limited support for this so I need to be able to use the mouse (or at least a leftklick) and the mousewheel to navigate this sites if they dont support arrow keys. The box has an ir receiver and bluetooth so I have multiple controll options avaliable. Now to the remapping of keys: I have found this: source(dot)android(dot)com -> Keyboard Device with this table and the vendorxxx.kl file I should be able to remap buttons. now the caviat: arrow does not work propperly on every site and page_up/down jumps too far. is there a way to confiure page_up/down in a way that it doesn't jump as far so i could use multiple clicks to jump as far as i need or is there a way to emulate a mouse wheel scroll with a analoge stick from a bluetooth controller? I have as I said a ir remote and a generic usb controller and this: Baofeng Monji 4 Bluetooth Controller (wireless Nunchuck style) I would prefere the mouse wheel as it hase more use but a substitute would be fine. I hope someone can help me
