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 ran the tester and says it should work. if this does i am soo getting a controller tonight lol
Wouldnt it be better to just read something interesting?
I've got the windows program running but get an error: driver could not be installed. I'll try linux.

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.

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?

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
has anyone who has a dock been able to connect their dual shock 3 controller to TFP? I thought it was plug and play.
Just watched a video of someone doing exactly that. I believe its wireless via bluetooth also, but that may happen in ICS. Don't remember.

I *think* it will be PnP in ICS. Till then, you can purchase SIXAXIS app in the market, it's less then $2.00
I went out and bought a PS3 dual shock controller just to do this then found out that it only works if you use a usb cable, bluetooth is not compatible.
I found that to be lame.

You should check the Android Market, I'm pretty sure you'll find some applications letting you play with bluetooth.
Only certain game actually support a joystick. I think there is an app you have to install that works like a driver for it, but I have not tried it myself. However, it was said a WIRED PS3 or Xbox360 controller would work.
Bluetooth is supported too, but there are very few joysticks that match this. There is a Logitech PC controller and a Gamestop Tablet Gamepad that are supposed to work via bluetooth. Not sure on the requirements. I plan on getting the Logitech one to try this out; however, not sure when I will get around to it.
Here is a video of it in action:

Gamestop
Gamestop appears to sell/support a wireless controller.

Actually no, any app on the android market that would let you use the PS3 controller via bluetooth does not work on the prime unless you root it.
I had the gamestop controller and it is a total POS. It works with some games but they are not controls you can use to actually play the games just using that controller.. GTAIII for example.. You can only control your movement, you cant attack or jump or anything else.
The only game it works for is shadowgun. It doesnt works for any emulators, fpse, snes, sega or n64.
The Sixaxis app will let you connect a PS3 controller to your tablet, but you have to be rooted for it to work.

I imagine the emulator apps would need support for the controller programmed into the app itself, the tablet just recognizing the controller is there wouldn't be enough. each app will have to know what part of the screen to associate each controller button with. with PnP supported in ICS hopefully many more games & emulators will support controllers.
i got it to work. It is plug and play. You just have to go into controls and configure buttons. awesome for gaming.

The way the gamestop controller works, its not registered as a controller at all. It replaces your input method so basically its registered as a wireless keyboard that you cant setup.
My PS3 controller worked just fine being plugged into dock. I love shadowgun on it now. It is a hard game to play without controller.

Through bluetooth on the Droid and Nexus phones I've used it on. I assume it will work the same way on the Prime once we have superuser.
Logitech joystick/gamepad support
compiled a kernel driver for some Logitech joysticks/gamepads:

im looking to purchase the tablet s but i was wondering if fpse works with the ps3 controller on it? and the genesis snes and n64 emulators? can anyone verify?
I've got issues with FPSE, and running out of memory but the deve isn't sure why.
i can confirm that a ps3 controller once paired (for wireless operation) with the tablet s has worked with every emulator i have tried, and i think i have tried them all, well the major ones anyways. very happy overall with the tablet s so far
I can confirm that the PS3 wireless controller connecting to this tablet works with every emulators that is working on the tablet. NES SNES N64 etc... ofcourse you have to key the buttons...
I can also confirm that the ps3 controller works with all emulators i've tried (fpse, nesoid, gensoid, snesoid, gameboid, gbcoid, ataroid, gearoid, n64oid) but i do have a bit of an issue when it comes to N64oid. The way the tablet reads the controller (when it comes to the emulators) is the digital controls and the left analog stick are mapped to the same controls (ie pushing up on the digital control and pushing up on the left analog stick both register as "DPAD Up" when mapping controls). In addition to that the right analog stick doesn't register anything at all with exception of pushing it down as a button. What it comes down to is there doesnt seem to be enough buttons to properly map an N64 controller. You can still play games but you cant really play anything that utilizes the whole n64 controller.
FPSE all the way. I've only put maybe 4-5 hours into it, but I haven't run across any memory issues so far.
SNES droid also apears to work perfectly.
so...i read on a bunch of forums that you can just plug and play a 360 controller to the prime's dock via usb to play games
i have tried with shadowgun thd and snesoid....a game and an emulator that i have seen work in other threads and neither acknowledge the controller
snesoid does acknowledge the controller when i try to map the keys and shadowgun just doesn't do anything...
so is there an app i need to make it so that the prime uses the controller? i'd love to get this going..
thanks!
Try out USB/BT joystick center in app store. I've seen others say it works great for mapping controls properly.
From my understanding you can only used the wired xbox controllers. You cannot use the plug and charge remotes.
Thanks...that's what I was using (plug and charge)...I'll look for the guides for using the controller wirelessly

You can use wireless controllers if you have the wireless receiver for PC/Windows. Plug that into the Prime and it detects wireless 360 controllers fine. Used it on mine with no problems.
Anyone use this controller?
I have SuperGNES, FPse, MC3, ShadowGun, Dead Space, Dead Trigger, Minecraft, and a few other games.
1. Can anyone confirm this controller works with SuperGNES and FPse (probably these two are the most important to me)
2. Can you use a USB min-hub to get more usb ports on the dock and plug in 2 controllers
I'm looking to be able to play 2 player games and curious if others have got it to work.
Thanks
I've just gotten one of these controllers myself today. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble.
Some games work fine, like "Cordy". Another well-known game, Shadowgun, does not. The game mixes up the controls, rendering the right analog stick messed up. It thinks the left trigger is the analog sticks left/right and that the analog up/down is actually on left/right. Unplayable.
before, I've tried connecting two Xbox controllers, both wired. These work fine. You can't play with two controllers, however. Android recognizes both controllers as one, so you'll both control the same thing.
Unfortunately, I don't think there's a solution to the latter, it's a driver issue.
---
Did anyone get Shadowgun to work properly with the F710? If so, please teach me!
---
For the record, I'm using the ASUS Padfone, which is related to the transformer series.
Anyone know about emulators with the F710?
SuperGNES says you need to install gamepad IME, which is free. It installs fine, and I can see it in the settings, but there are no options to bind keys...which makes me think its all in the games but I cant figure out supergnes. It thinks both the A and B buttons are down, and I can't change it in the controller settings.
I just bought my controller, may return it if I can't figure this out. It works natively for Dead trigger. ...kinda pissed it doesn't work the same for superGNES.
After having tested the logitech controller, I've decided to get rid of it and go for Sixaxis with a PS3 controller. It's just way more configurable.

I've had my controller for about 6 months now and there is a way to play ShadowGun with it. You just have to manually map the controller yourself in the options menu for game pad input. Haven't used SuperGNES but I use another emulator called SNESoid and it allows me to map the controller out.
