I have a Fascinate, and I just put build 6 of the ICS rom [from rootzwiki] on it.
I like old nintendo games, so I thought maybe I'd get a snes emulator. but then I remembered why I didn't already have it, because touching the buttons really stinks, so then I started looking up bluetooth controllers. I want to know that the fasciante supports HID before I buy anything though.

So I was playing games on my emulators on my Vibrant and it got me thinking... what if i could use my phone on my Xbox instead of a controller? Could you make an app that you could use to play? Since you can already use wireless controllers, it'd just be about emitting the right signal from the phone and you could use the touch pad in place of buttons.
Genius I know...
Microsoft uses a proprietary wireless standard on their xbox 360 control interface.
The Xbox controller most likely used IR which no phone has. If anything you could use this phone as a PS3 controller since it uses bluetooth.
I don't always complain, but when I do, I #BlameWes
That would be nice but I also think it uses infrared.
Good idea though

Here's a video of the N900 controlling the PS3 via Bluetooth. I don't think an app like this exists for Android.

The controllers work off a 2.4GHz radio signal, not IR.
ConceptVBS is right, the protocol is proprietary and unpublished. They won't even license it to other manufacturers or developers. (My wife is into robotics and on Trossen forums somebody was trying to figure out how to make this work, but there is just too much back-and-forth between the console and the controller for the initial registration.)
I suppose in theory somebody could write a driver and hijack the wifi radio -- but without the information on the protocol, you have about as much hope as using your microwave oven to control your 360.
wow this thread is old. but I was just thinking the same thing.
this thread has xbox controller enabled rom available for the Elocity A7 running android 2.2. question is, can anyone else do this for a vibrant?? I'm sure there would be quite a few ppl, including myself, willing to donate towards a product like that!
boo yeahhh! vibrant with a wireless xbox controller would be soooo siiickkkk
Is this possible yet? I noticed super smash brothers runs really good. Want to utilize my wiimote.
I've tried and it doesn't work. It should work with cm7 once it's ported to the 3d. I wish a dev would create a fully functional bluetooth stack for sense like how they have one for jailbroken iphones. I miss being able to use a wiimote with the various emulators.
Does anybody know if the Power A Pro Pack Mini Remote for Wii Black works on the evo or is it just the original Wii controllers. Thinking about getting one off eBay.
I have a rooted Evo 3d, and I want to play games with my wiimote and watch on my TV.
Sense is doing the MHL out just fine, but doesn't support pairing up with bluetooth devices. http://androidforums.com/htc-evo-3d/379006-wii-remote-evo-3d.html
I did find this, but it looks like it never got launched... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OS4h1Z2nKHw
So I'm wondering if there is another ROM out there that would...
From what I understand I need an ASOP rom.
From my research, it looks like CM7 doesn't support MHL out. http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/36885-cm7-alpha3-known-issues/
Is there something I'm missing? Does anyone know of a work around?
Would love to know this as well.

Did some searching around the forums and couldn't find a clear answer - is there any way to use an xbox 360 controller with my photon? Seemed like it might be possible using the HD dock (I realllly want to play gta using an xbox controller). Can anyone confirm or deny?
I somehow made mine work, was a hell of a process though. Ended up finding an app on my phone that would sync to my computer via wifi and see my controllers(plugged into my comp) signals and send them to the Photon. Cant recall name of app off top of head though..

Which version of Android are you using? I seem to remember one of the big features of ICS was native USB device support, so I'm curious if you still need third party apps for gamepads. I'd really like to see if I could use HDMI out and a 360 controller to turn my phone into a full fledged console.

Yeah forgot about that, I was on Cybiks CM7 at the time. On CM9 but haven't messed with trying it out on here since CM9
One guy in here bought the HD dock, and he said a generic controller from Radio Shack worked, but he didn't say about a 360 controller. I know that with the sixaxis app, you can use a PS3 controller, and it's amazing. What's cool about it is that it not only can play games like GTA and Shadowgun, which are designed to take physical keyboard inputs, but it can emulate screen touches. So you can play pretty much any game if you are willing to set up the touch profiles. Modern Combat 3 looks pretty good on my big screen, and game play is smooth once you get the controls you want.
I dropped the $50 on a PS3 controller just because I wanted to use it on my phone, I don't even own a PS3.

I have heard the Wiimote (Nintendo Wii remote) works as well. The common denominator here, with the PS3 Sixaxis controller, is Bluetooth, which our phones support (pretty much all of them do). The Xbox 360 controller uses another kind of wireless, or USB as a peripheral, and phone support for that (without the dock) is far less. I'm considering getting a PS3 controller as well. Screen controls are okay for some emulated games. I beat Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (GBA) on my phone, but I tried a couple Mario games and it was laughably bad.
(Running an Electrify, BTW... should be the same minus 4G.)
Hi does anyone of you know if its possible to flash an native Xbox360 Controller USB support via CWM in the existing Rom of the S3.
Because it already work well with the PS3 Controller.
Thanks and Greedings

Just use "USB/BT Joystick Center". It's a paid-for app but not really expensive when compared to what you can do with it.
Yeah i know this app but i would find it better if i could store the driver of the 360 controller in android so i dont have to configurate bt Joycenter for every game
I saw also there are some Custom Roms from other devices which support the Xbox360 Controller, so there must be drivers in the Rom Package.
Is it possible to cut them out and flash only these files in the existing rom?
I think it would be better if there is an additional package for those, who want to stay official as much as possible and dont want to go the way of custom rom, at least in the first time.
Like me, cause I got the phone just 2 weeks ago
So it would be awesome, if I dont have to use the stupid program all the time. I dont know what I did wrong, but the app just doesnt save any settings I put in. So I dont give a f*ck on this bt/usb joystick center.
I want native support for my awesome phone, just like these xoom tabs do.
If ps3 works, x360 should also work. Would be awesome to play all my games like shadowgun, dead trigger and even gta3 anniversary edition on my hdtv with my mhl-connector.
So, thats why whe should ged some additional packages for this
If you find the dev, who integraded this feature into his rom, we could ask him to put out this as an extra feature for all the others.
cheers and peazz out
EDIT:
afaik some other phones and tablets (asus transformer) have native support for xbox 360 controllers. So why doesnt somebody pick up the modules and drivers from those devices and integrade it into a flashable package for our phone??
I dont think this is such a big challenge for a good dev. Hopefully someone will read this here.
Exactly what i mean
I found out that the "xpad.ko" file should be the driver for the Xbox360 Controller.
Has anyone the file or could extract it from a Rom and cook it into a package to flash it in the existing Rom
is the "xpad.ko" the only module you need? or is there more for it??
I guess it wouldnt hurt, if you or someone else just would ask one if the devs, if he/they could implement this driver/module into a flashable zip and make the x360 pad compatible with our beloved phone
Cause I cant afford a ps3 controller , too expensive, doesnt worth it, xbox is better
so, hurry on, guys
EDIT:
Something useful, and how to activate the module.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110906
Looks like it has to be loaded with a script manager. Something I just dont know how to do
maybe you have more luck than me
EDIT2: another useful post on the internet.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...oller-support-on-the-samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1/
even if its the galaxy tab 10.1. The only stuff we need are the 2 modules and maybe some layouts for the different games???
For about $4 you can get an adapter to use Ps1&2 controllers on Ps3 so when you plug it in the phone will recognise it as a Ps3 controller then you got probably a hundred different PlayStation controllers to pick from including steering wheels.

Have you tried it out yet? I surely wont buy an adapter, that possibly wont work on my android But the biggest **** on galaxy s3 is the thing, that we cant use mhl adapter and x360 pad at the same time -.-'' but with bt ps3 controller it works. That sucks. Have to think, if there is probably a workaround for this :S
I tried the adapter using a Ps2 controller on USB/BT Joycentre App and it does get recognised as a Ps3 controller, and I'll try it without the App when I get home but if a wired Ps3 controller works as standard then it should work because the adapter just converts the signal and phone assumes it's Ps3, and it's obviously not as good as a wireless controller but it is another cheap option.
I just hate the bt/usb joystick center app, thats why I ask, if it works without it. I dont want to configurate another controller, that really sucks -.---'''' and doesnt get saved properly, or I just dont get it how the app works -.-
peazz
The 2 Needed Files are xpad.ko and ff-memless.ko . But they must be specified to the running kernel on the phone and thats the point i stuck
I attached the 2 files in my post, maybe somebody can work on it my Device Kernel-Version is "3.0.15-554452-user"
Thanks
"insmod [FILE]" is the command you're looking for.
However it wont work since that module is compiled for kernel 2.6.39.4-00002-g2977a0d and thus is incompatible with the 3.x kernels.
You may need to compile it from source.
