I am 99% sure that I have seen other people saying they have played emulators on their 10.1 using a ps3 Sixaxis controller.
I have downloaded the compatibility checker and it doesn't display a Bluetooth address at the bottom? I tried manually inputting the Bluetooth address from my settings screen, but still no joy.
I am running Starburst and pershoot kernel!
Thanks

You have to root the Tablet first before using the sixaxis app
Got it working now.
For some reason it wasn't asking for root access when I installed it before.

does it work on a 10.1v, too?

I am not sure, download the compatibility app and check.

as far as i read already, the compatibility-check is worth nothing.
some say their check failed, but it worked though. other stated the check passed, and the app didn't work
another question: i get a ps3 controller from one of my friends. if i pair the controller with my tab via the pc-tool, will the controller still work on my friends ps3? does he have to re-pair the controller with the ps3? or will this be done automatically?
(i know that my questions may sound stupid, but as long as it's not my controller i want to make sure i won't damage anything).
thanks

Nothing to technical, all you do is plug it into the ps3 via usb and it will do the rest.

Can't see why not, as long as you have the blue tooth enabled on the tab then it should still work.
strange...paired the controller via usb, pc and the pairing-tool.
installed sixaxis. started the app, clicked start, pressed the power-button of the controller, the lights on the controller stopped blinking and the light 1 stayed, sixaxis said 'client connected: 1'. then i changed the input method to sixaxis (activated it before in the settings).
but it doesn't seem to work in snesoid?! selected "use input method", tried to map the keys, but the controller doesn't seem to get recognized / to work.
am i missing something? what steps did you proceed to get it working? i'm desperate now, trying to get it to work since hours...
thanks for your help.
ps: the device is rooted and sixaxis got superuser rights.

This exact thing happened to me too, and I realized that my actual Input Method was still the keyboard. Once I changed it to SixAxis everything worked.

thanks for your answer. i already clicked on the button for changing the input method inside of the sixaxis app.like said in the instructions. no success at all
Hello, i was searching on the net for answers and your site was the most likely can answer them... i have a samsung galaxy tab p1000, and i want it to run the sixaxis controller. it shows connection failed ( so i guess it isnt compatible) but i saw that if i put a cyanogenmod in the tab, it will work... is this true or i must lose my hope of controlling my tab with a ps3 controller?

well. the 10.1 got the capability. but i read the normal tab (7 inch one) doesnt have the bluetooth protocol to pair with the controller. there is something that i can do to be able to pair (hence the cyanogenmod rom) or just forget it and play in the screen?
So I have the prime and a ps3 controller and i changed the controller mac address to the primes and i can get it to connect using the sixaxis app but when i open up and emulator and try to configure the controls it registers one of the joysticks and the dpad as the same and wont even register the other joystick, did i do something wrong? also USB/BT Joystick Center wont even detect the controller, and I dont have the usb adapter or keyboard. It sees the right joystick and dpad as the same and wont detect the left analog stick movement besides pressing L3

Just to let you know the ps3 controller works on the prime without any root or sixaxis app. Just turn on BT on the prime, plug in the ps3 controller through usb port and turn on the Ps3 controller. Wait a few secs so it can pair, unplug and your up and running without any cables. Been using mine with bluetooth without any problems.

I don't have the usb adapter :/
bump still got no solution without USB adapter!
In your emulators settings (I use nesoid, snesoid etc) did you go into Other Settings> and check "Use Input Method" ? It says enable special input device eg bluetooth gamepad.
I have the same issue and I have the paid version and after. 21 update it doesn't work which really pisses me off... .21 update worst update so far? Fair to say?

Would this solve your problem? I haven't gotten mine yet but for that price it's worth a shot with the stock USB cable. I have the dock so my PS3 controller plugged right up.
no its been proven that that wont work, the usb charging cable doesnt have the correct pins for usb inputs, only the usb adapter does

So I bought yesterday a ps3 controller for my TF
But when I tried to pair between them its keep telling me
to enter a passkey in the controller....how the hell I can
enter a passkey with a gamepad
I tried with sixaxis but its still does not work
Can someone please help me
By default usually 0000 or 1234, or you can use Sixaxis Controller is better
PS3 controllers only shares its passkey over usb connection. Once you connect it once over usb it will pair again in the future. (Its the reason the PS3 system always tells you to connect the controller via usb)
download and run the sixaxis pair tool here: http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/tool.html
connect your ps3 gamepad via usb to a pc, and change the bluetooth address in the program to the one you have on your tf (search for bluetooth address finder in play store if you don't know your tf's bt mac address).
After it has completed the pair process, just turn on bt on the tf, and press the ps button on your gamepad. It should work.
I just got my tab today and was wondering does the controller connects via bluetooth w/ this app and doesnt matter what ROM youre on.
I know how to use it cause i use it w/ my phone to play ff7 w/ fpse and shadowgun, just wanted to makesure i can with this tab

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

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

THANK YOU!
In "other settings" i just had to click that. ****ing awesome m8 Thanks
No prob man I figured thats what it might be frustrated the hell out of me too

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

I seen a few posts where people have managed to sync their ps3 controller with the six axis controller app. For the live of me I tried a few builds of Android and none of them allow me to sync the controller to bluetooth. At this point for those who got it to work or use it frequently, what version of your rom are you using? Do you know any app that allows you to change bluetooth mac address on the android device or Touchpad Rom? Let me know because I have troubleshooting steps that I need to try that require me to change the bluetooth mac address on the hp touchpad but all the instructions I have found have not helped me because the folder structure described is not consistent with what is in my folder. I thank you ahead all of you ahead of time because I value your help, and I apologize if I have missed something during my extensive research.
HP TOUCHPAD
version of android: update-cm-10.1-20131121-SNAPSHOT-BLUETOOTH-tenderloin 4.2.2
Bluetooth turns on and it works just fine with this version.
The PS3 controller doesnt connect to Android by itself. This is the only way I have done it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en
The problem is that I have done everything in the instructions, downloaded the pairing app, and change the mac per what the app shows in android. I already installed and downloaded the app but it won't pair regardless. I seen a few resolutions to changing the hp touchpad address to the bluetooth address used in motion joy.
If it has worked for you and is still working for you in the hp touchpad let me know what rom you are using to try and see if its rom related. I am using an original ps3 controller that syncs to motion joy with no issues, and has synced before just fine. I used the pairing tool to load the mac address of the hp touchpad into the ps3 controller and it doesn't pair with the hp touchpad. I managed to pair other devices through bluetooth. If anyone can help I'll appreciated it.

I'm not using a ROM with Bluetooth right now. But it should work if bluetooth is working for you. Did you switch the input method to sixaxis controller instead of the keyboard?

I'm also at the same point as you in my efforts to pair a PS3 controller to my Touchpad. I only just got my own OTG cable so I was hoping with only a little effort I could get it working. At this point it's a bit frustrating; like you I've apparently changed the MAC address to the same as the Touchpad but the Sixaxis utility just keeps on "listening for devices" and the controller just blinks.
I am not using the latest build though.. it's actually 4 months old now, but I did install it because I thought the Bluetooth worked: 10.1-20130808-EXPERIMENTAL-tenderloin-BLUETOOTH_TEST
I probably should update my ROM.
I posted about this a while back. GL
