I picked up very simple usb gamepad (stealseries 1gc) since my usb mouse and kb worked with zero configuration. I was looking for an alternative to the pricey wii controller, and something a bit smaller than a usb keyboard. Unfortunately it did not function out of the box.
Does anyone have any recommendations to get it working? What should I try or do? are there any non market apps that may get this working?
EDIT:
I can imagine that something could be rigged up since this guy did it.

We already have a USB port to accesss.... the question or problem is support for other than thumb drive or key board.....nothing else seems to be suppported including mice and game pads......
i think it might be lost effort trying to figure it out. i thought it might instantly be recognized as HID. My wireless (RF not BT) microsoft mouse worked without any modification, though i didnt see the point to using a mouse.

This doesn't work, but I wish it did
Instead of starting a new topic, I thought I'd just post here and ask if anyone's had any luck in this regard. This device is so unbelievably ripe for emulation, and its a total shame that even with a standard USB port, no one has figured out how to use a gamepad yet.
I've got a bluetooth gamepad with 6 buttons, the BGP100. Unfortunately, you need to buy a $10 driver from the market (MMG Gamepro). After all that, I'm playing Street Fighter II and NBA Jam TE like it's 1996
There's another thread regarding the use of Wii controllers via bluetooth. I was able to get the two Datel Retro Wireless Wii controllers off ebay for $26 (I got lucky).
PlayStation controller with a PlayStation to USB adapter
Hi I am a first time poster here, so I hope this gets to the right place.
I use the loox 720 pocket PC with USB host and a PlayStation controller with a PlayStation to USB adapter.
For a drivers I use hidgamep.dll. Copy it to your Pocket PC's Windows folder and enter the following to your registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\HID\LoadClients\Default \Default\1_5\gamepad "DLL"="hidgamep.dll"
OR [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\HID\LoadClients\Default\Default\Default\Gamepad] "DLL"="hidgamep.dll"
if it did not work. But, any unknow HID device pluged in will try use the hidgamep.dll. It´s not problem for me and it´s working fine!
and I use Mobiion MagiKB Lite v1.1 - http://www.mobiion.com/magikblite.html to change the button commands so like when I was playing super mario bros.gun 2 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556557 I change the "X" button to "up" and the "O" to the "space bar". But for the most part I use the controller as a media remote for the core player or windows media player ...
I use Zeno USB Host Drivers 2011 v1.0 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...url
for everything else
PS
I hope this helps
Hello,
I am a kind-of-advanced Android user. I know my way well around the os, but i'm not a programmer of any kind.
I recently bought a fairly cheap Yarvik tab (TAB264) running ICS 4.0.3. with a USB host and so far it has nothing else than impressed me !
What i'm trying to do is connect a game controller via USB to play games in emulators. I have a authentic PS3 controller with usb cable and an Xbox controller for the PC, with a USB dingle for wireless connection to the pc / tablet. I do not have bluetooth on my device, but i do have a bluetooth dongle. However, this is not plug and play. If i plug in a keyboard, mouse of mass storage device the tablet will recognise it. With a bluetooth stick this is not the case. I have seen serveral video's where people just plug in their xbox controller and it works, they only have to map the keys in to emulator and they are good to go. In my case, as with the bluetooth dongle, it is like its not recognised.
Is there a way to download drivers for either one controllers, universal controller support or the bluetooth stick ?
in short:
- Can i use the PS3 controller via usb ?
- Can i use to Xbox controlle via usb ?
- Can i install drivers for the bluetooth stick so i can use the ps3 controller wireless (whis would be awesome since bluetooth would be nice)
I hope for a fast response thanks in advance !

I read somewhere that XDA has a special developed driver in case the XboX controller doens't work. I searched the forum, but i cant find it.
Link, andybody ?
Anybody, options, please ?
Really, no one ?
Hi there!
Very new to this but have a quick query.
I'm in NZ. Have updated to ICS. Want to pair PS3 controller WITHOUT Root. Have a theory. So did the following.
- Bought the PS3 Controller Pairing Tool and USB/BT Joystick Center 6 from App Developer POKE64738
- He says that these appas can work on ANY android phone
- Had no luck finding a cable to connect the controller to the phone until I saw a "New USB 2.0 Mini-A 5-Pin Female to Micro-B Male Adapter F/M Data Cable Converter" on ebay.
- By theory, the "Pairing tool" on the phone should pick this up.
Any feedback from you guys!?
Shot fullahs!
UPDATE
UPDATE!
Have purchased the cable (
Apparently trying to pair a PS3 controller to the Xperia S is a mish and that a 3rd party controller will be just as good! But the problem is I want to go Bluetooth and not play through USB (though I wouldn't mind it) So yeah bro's... will letchu know how it all shakes out!
At least I know that OTG works!
Kia ora!
There you go !

He said without root, so he needs the cable. I thought that if you connect the controller with cable it stays paired via bluetooth

But that's only WITH root. B3NZ0 wanted to pair PS3 controller WITHOUT Root.
That's a big difference you know.
I'm also looking for a way to connect my PS3 controller to my phone even if it's with a cable, but it seems an app is required as it gives me a power error otherwise, if I connect the controller only with the USB OTG.
The only way it will work via usb is by using livedock

Hey guys!
So the OTG works. That's fine.You just cant plug in the PS3 controller directly otherwise the phone come up with that "power consumption error" and more importantly THERE'S NO POWER CHARGE TO YOUR PHONE!
FIX 1:
You have to use a USB hub (4-port works fine/unbranded) for the error to go away. I've plugged in the PS3 controller with it's original cable and it works fine. You just need to remap the button config in the settings of your chosen emulator. You can also plug in your BT adaptors for your wireless mouse and keyboard. But then there's the power issue, so you'll also need a USB 2.0 at both ends to plug into hub and charger.
NOTE: *ID RATHER NOT DO THIS METHOD BUT IT WORKS.
FIX 2:
Cleverly enough, this V-TYPE OTG cable (USB 2.0 Female/Micro USB Male/Micro USB Female) is the way to go. Simultaneously gives charge and can connect hub, flash drives, BT adapters... You can find this on Ebay. Just enter Micro usb OTG with power.
BT ADAPTER:
I've purchased a Belkin BT Adapter (2.1+ EDR) to go wireless. So first, I tried it on MotionInJoy. Paired it and works fine! But it doesn't work when I plug into the USB hub. Apparently cos it's not CSR compatible... but it is. So will have to fiddle around with it more.
KIDIGI CRADLE:
Ive also purchased this cradle by Kidigi. It works fine and charges. Doesn't quite sit in there but you won't notice after a while and looks great! However, the rear only has the micro usb female port (for charging and data transfers) and lacks the support of an ac power input (for charging) and 2 usb 2.0 ports (for BT mouse/keyboard/ps3 controller?). You can google this or go driectly to kidigi dot com or facebook.
I've spoken with them and sent them a pic of the Xperia Ion cradle/dock (which has the mentioned features) hoping they can mimic the rear of the Ion's dock onto the NEW Kidigi Xperia S Dock 2.0!
If they actually DO MAKE THIS, then our problems would be solved! Why?
1) Nice and sleek
2) The ability to power cradle with AC adapter so no power issues
3) The addition of 2x USB 2.0 ports will allow access for our wireless peripherals (mouse/keyboard), flash drives and would no longer need an OTG as the profile would be built into it which would be good news for us users wanting to pair the PS3 controller
3RD PARTY APPS (for pairing):
To pair with an UNROOTED phone these apps would be the most suitable:
1) PS3 Controller Pairing Tool by Poke64738:
Pretty straight forward. You NEED a USB hub to do this cos of PCE (Power Consumption Error). It will ask you to turn on Bluetooth. Say yes. Then hit search. If the app can't locate it then reset the PS3 controller by pressing the rest button at the back of the controller. NOTE: This app ONLY pairs the controller to the phone!
2) USB/BT Joystick Center 6 by Poke64738:
This app is tricky so it takes time to find out how to use it. The help menu is useful so don't neglect it. After figuring it out, you must do the following:
FOR USB POWERED:
- Plug in PS3 controller with cable into HUB.
- Open USB/BT Joystick Center 6
- Window will pop-up asking to allow app to access USB device. Click OK. (note the device name in grey on the top-middle of the screen)
- Your device should show up as "PS3 USB Controller (1)"
- Touch to access the drivers.
- Test controller by pressing all the buttons. You'll notice the "buttons" in the driver slot will go red. These buttons are your default configs. You don't have to change anything just hit BACK button NOT HOME button! Hitting BACK will save the settings.
FOR WIRELESS:
I've yet to do this so will post up when I have something!
***APOLOGIES AS I CANT POST LINKS YET BUT YOU CAN GOOGLE SEARCH AND EBAY SEARCH ASWELL***

You can also possibly use the Kidigi Cradle with a Micro USB OTG with power.
Its a V cable or Y cable allowing for power charge and USB hub and PS3 Controller connected via USB

USB hub will work for ya but then again some drain and some don't! and because there are so many out there, who knows... but I have a third-party one made for the PS3 console itself and it works fine. If you want to know what i'm getting up to, check out my UPDATE reply no.3 (it's not numbered though, lol)

UPDATE #3
Hey guys!
So i've finally got the peripherals I need to do the following:
1) Pair my PS3 controller to my Xperia S successfully
2) Find an alternate power source
PAIRING:
After using the 3rd party app with a little bit of patience and persistence and a BT dongle, I have finally paired it! ABOUT TIME TOO! So now I can play my MAME games wirelessly! WOOHOO! :good: I will post up pics or vid tutorial for those who want it.
POWER SOURCE:
I have a V cable (mentioned in previous posts) that acts both as a OTG and charger (USB 2.0 female (flash drives etc) /micro USB male (OTG) /micro USB female (charge) Unfortunately, I think mine is a dud. There is no charge going through so will see what I can do.
UPDATE #4
Hey guys!
Just a reminder that this whole topic is for UNROOTED phones only. Since there is lack of support for UNROOTED phones on this very topic, I thought it would be nice if I stepped in to aid our fellow XPERIA S users out there in the world. I'm still unable to post links and pics so might put something on my facebook page if that helps.
Otherwise, i'll PUSH - post until something happens lol
LIVE wallpaper concept
Since we're on the topic of PS3, I thought to share this. My Desktop on my PC. The blue wave in the background is still but was animated to act like that of the PS3 wave. I was thinking to make some LIVE wallpaper based on the OS3 wave for Xperia phones and tablets. As you see, it has a more fluid-like texture to it rather than the flowy-movement type of the PS3 console.
I want to be able to use a wired ethernet connection with the S4 Zoom over USB using a OTG cable. I know it doesn't support it out of the box. I have looked all over the internet but did not find a solution. I am willing to pay if someone can create a reliable solution for this.

Don't think they are going to work. I know the Galaxy S4 works with the ethernet adapter now. Someone wrote the drivers and updated the kernel. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2347721
$100 to anyone who can port this solution for the S4 zoom.
app store
There are various apps in the app store for this. Just search ethernet in the app store. Tell me If this helps. Also your phone needs to be rooted.

Does anyone know of any USB Hubs without ethernet that work with the Nexus Player. I'm currently connected with the nexus player 5ghz AC and get 150megabits , so no need for ethernet. Do you guys chain a micro usb to usb cable to a hub to get this working? Products, tips and info here please. Thanks in advance

I use a basic 4 port USB 3.0 hub also from Sabrent (doesnt have the on/off buttons on it) and pair it with an OTG cable and it works fine. I have a wireless mouse, sixaxis or ds4 controller, and a 64GB flash drive plugged into it.
