someone for the love of god port this to work on touchpad!
pretty cool though heh? as long as you have a nvidia cpu on both your desktop and tab, you can play real skyrim. This would be absolutely sick if you can use your pc mods with this too. I am in no way a dev, and i know nothing about making apps, so i cant really do a port for this, but i thought maybe someone here loves skyrim as much as I do.
I think you mean nVidia GPU for the PC. nVidia doesn't make CPUs for x86 yet.
Interesting. I don't have a PC powerful enough anyway and I don't really have any interest in Skyrim but it's great that this is even possible. Makes me think that services like Onlive aren't far off taking over.

is a port even possible?
I doubt it because the TP has a qualcom snapdragon while you need a tegra 3 inorder to play skyrim on your tablet

Yea exactly. Doesn't matter at all what CPU or GPU your computer or tablet is running. Splashtop works fine regardless.

The only reason they say it REQUIRES Nvidia is that they are releasing a THD (Tegra HD) app and it was an Nvidia presentation. So of course they are going to say that you need an Nvidia graphics card and an Nvidia based tablet, etc. Utter nonsense.

I've also been running Skyrim on my Touchpad via Splashtop and it works fine. As pointed out, it's basically the same thing those guys at the Nvidia booth were doing.
Question for the other people in the thread running Skyrim, what are you using for a controller? I am using my wireless 360 controller with the PC dongle extension hooked up to my PC's usb. It has a pretty good range around most of my apartment, but I don't really have something I can use to play it when I'm away from home.
Well, I have the HP bluetooth keyboard and a bluetooth mouse but I think that would be kind of clunky. Are there any good controllers that work well w/ CM7?
so splashtop works regardless? nice, im pretty sure that was one of those 10 cent apps i picked up during the sale. so what are the chances of connecting a ps3 or xbox controller to the touchpad so i could play at school or work or something?

Yep, it runs fine for me over wifi, though I haven't tried it over 3G/4G yet.
Supposedly, ICS has better support for gaming controllers so maybe with CM9 we'll have more options there. I seem to remember some people saying they've paired PS3 bluetooth controllers to their Android tablets running CM7 so I think it's doable but I've not tried yet.
I'm not sure if you can get a 360 controller working on it, I don't think the wireless one will because there's no drivers for it even if you get the dongle hooked up via an adapter. You might be able to get a wired one to work but then you'd have to use a Y adapter to pull in power for it.
I wish there was just an easy option for a standardized wireless gaming controller that worked well on Android without jumping through a bunch of hoops.
The Dualshock 3 and sixaxis PS3 controller works with some app from the market. Seen it in action and its pretty flawless.

You CAN use your PC mods with this, as Skyrim is actually running on your PC and streaming to your tablet. Also, this should be possible on a touchpad with Chainfire3D running on it. I am going to try it right now, in fact.

Personally, I have found Splashtop to be the best/fastest for any multimedia intensive remoting, and I have tried many. Were you connecting via the internet or local wifi ?
I think the point of that presentation is that its using tegra to recieve the compressed stream from an nvidia gpu. The regular splashtop app works exactly the same but in my experience the frame rates lag behind on the remote device to the point where i find the whole thing unplayable even on wifi at 720.
The controller is plugged in to the tablet, not the host pc.
The key word, optimization. If someone can get the stream that sharp with almost zero lag in a chainfired config on the touchpad, i would love to see it, cuz i haven't been able to achieve that myself
Is there any kind of gamepad solution for the Evo 3D that is confirmed to work? I don't care if I have to purchase a new product, but I would like a way to use either a bluetooth or USB gamepad.
I know the HTC BT Stack lacks support for the Wii remote and PS3 controllers.
Just looking for some input from other Evo 3D owners before I end up wasting my time and money on something that will not work.
You have an option of going to an AOSP rom and using it on there? it works on all bt devices i tested it with a wii mote w/classic controller

Alas, there is not, the only way to get a pad working is to have a stock rom, then connect a pad via usb, wiimotes and ps3 pads work very well indeed, but with sense roms the bluetooth stack isn't compatible with pads, due to sense and it's bluetooth limitations, HID USB i think it is, basically devices can't be used as peripherals, including pads.
I'm in the same boat m8, watching my mate on his Gal nexus whilst i'm slumming it on a touchscreen pad is just a kick in the teeth, i do believe no one has ever gotten a pad to work over bluetooth on any device using sense.
Get Gannii's stock ICS rom when they fix the bluetooth and your golden, the camera doesn't work yet tho either

Hi,
Coming from an Xperia play i didn't need this!
However having had a Asus transformer, i used to use an xbox controller to play games.
1. Is this possible at all on a S3?
2. Is this possible with this adapter? http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/mobile-fun-connection-kit-for-samsung-galaxy-s3-p35462.htm
3. With the adapter can we still use hdmi output?
What im hope to achieve is gaming using a controller on my tv all through my S3.
Would be awesome for portable Emulation.
Cheers

No it works, I have a 360 cable controller and it works with PC. U just need to install drivers. I had been playing Batman AA on pc using 360 controller.
Hey guys, I'm new here!
Just wondering if anyone has had much experience using their ps3 or xbox 360 controller with their device to play games? I've been looking into it but I haven't tried it yet. I think it would be great to be able to use them for things like emulators because for example SNES emulators are a bit dodgy to play with touch controls.
I know there's a sixaxis controller app to connect your ps3 controller and I heard that you can use a micro USB to female usb 2.0 to use your wired xbox 360 controller. I also believe you can connect a wireless xbox 360 controller if you have a wireless adapter.
Any thoughts on this?
Hi mate.
I have for the USB adapter for the S3 where you directly plug your controller into your device.it works great and is instantly rcognised! I use the ps3 controller since its more portable.only issue is that the wire and movements may cause the phone to fall when your playing games so you will have to have a good stand. Also for most games, I've used GBA, nes, psx, n64 emulators and GTA Vice city you have to configure the controller which is a pain at first.
I also have used the sixth axis Bluetooth feature which is great as well.just have to get the controller IDs off the PC and configure them to the phones Bluetooth.if you connect the controllers to another device like their consoles or Bluetooth to a PC, the connection to the phone has to be done again on the PC which can be annoying. But If you have the USB phone adapter you can configure it straight away and use it wirelessly.
Only problem I have with this is that gaming can make the phone heat up so its beat to keep the case ventilated and in a cool area to avoid over heating.
But it works very well!

Hey, thank you for the information I have ordered a USB adapter to test out the xbox 360 controller which seems like the easiest option. I might get some sort of stand as well then because I can imagine it becoming annoying.. which leads me to think that although the ps3 controller seems to need a bit more messing around with, I like the idea of a wireless controller.
I was wondering about the over heating possibility although I've only really noticed the handset getting pretty hot whilst playing vice city.
Cannot wait to test this out!
Yep, as mentioned a USB On The Go cable works great with the S3. PS3 controller works just fine.. I think I remember having trouble with the 360 controller. And the sixaxis app does works great too

Oh great, thank you that's good to know my PS3 is at university so I'll try that when I get back there in a couple weeks. As for the USB cable for the xbox controller, I didn't realise I needed an OTG cable (a normal one didn't work today haha) luckily they're cheap, it should arrive tomorrow
I use the sixaxis control app and my second ps3 controller.
You can wireless control your whole phone with your ps3 controller,like changing music and videos,scrolling trough the homescreen.
If you already have a second ps3 controller its pointless to buy a usb adapter since you can buy the app for one buck and have much more comfort.

That's because people don't care about the rules.
To use a ps3 controller via the cable it will work natively, to use the Xbox controller there is an app called USB BT joycenter which is available on the market.
There is also an app called sixaxis controller which will enable bluetooth for your phone and ps3 controller.
To play the games on your phone there is something called a Gameklip which is available in the accessories section of XDA in the sgs3 part.
I've bought one myself and it's really well made and works a charm.
If you are thinking of using two bluetooth pads and using the MHL cable to send the signal to a TV that is also possible but MHL on the S3 isn't great, the vast majority of people have an issue with the screen being set at a low refresh rate, or being stuck on 720p.
I myself have two LED 3D tvs, one LG which shows the picture in 1080p but at 30hz
And a panasonic viera which shows it in 1080i @ 60hz, the viera is much quicker and the input delay isn't as noticeable.
If you go down the bluetooth ps3 controller route then you will want to check out the themes and apps section to get profiles for the most popular games for the six axis app.
Hope this helps.

Yes it does.
As for the xbox controller, it is a bit too chunky to play games on your phone, not very portable and you also have to worry about that big cable dangling around all the time.
Also there is a kernel (perseus) which apparently has support for the xbox controller too.

Thank you this information is very helpful.
I did not realise that android 4.2 makes it difficult to use Bluetooth devices. (I'm on cyanagenmod 10.1). Currently I am having trouble getting the Xbox 360 controller to work with emulators and any game for that matter using the USB BT joy center app. I'm following all the instructions and recommendations to a tee! Is this because I'm on 4.2? I know the OTG cable works because it recognises the controller in the app plus I can use a USB mouse with my device.
Also I never before considered using the Wii remote. I tried to pair mine but the problem was down to the fact I have 4.2 installed. Is there any way round this? I haven't found a solution so far. In don't really want to have to downgrade

I can vouch for the Gameklip with a PS3 controller. Works very well, and is remarkably similar to Nvidia's new Project Shield.
I use a wired connection to the S3 because it's simpler and also because I found sometimes SixAxis would get pushed out of memory and closed if I was playing a heavy game. Annoying if your controller stops working mid-game.

Currently I am having trouble getting the Xbox 360 controller to work with emulators and any game for that matter using the USB BT joy center app. I'm following all the instructions and recommendations to a tee! Is this because I'm on 4.2? I know the OTG cable works because it recognises the controller in the app plus I can use a USB mouse with my device.
Also I never before considered using the Wii remote. I tried to pair mine but the problem was down to the fact I have 4.2 installed. Is there any way round this? I haven't found a solution so far. In don't really want to have to downgrade

~ Did you buy the app? You have to to get it to work.
Tried the apk ones for both six axis and USB BT and nether work.

Okay, so got time for a response.
It was in General section, which is against the rules. I reported the thread and a mod moved it in QA. Got it?
If you think that enforcing the rules is silly, you don't belong here.
What exactly do I have to read?
Hey all, I've finally gotten all teh stuff together for my alternative to the Moga Controller stuff, and I conclude it's not bad at all.
So, here's the equipment of choice:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EKLW8XM/
The case is a cheap, hard case that's decently stable and has all ports available. It's the only case I found that actually has all the ports open, so that's good. While technically you can use whatever case is your fancy, I recommend a hard case, and you're going to need a cheap one because it's going to have no purpose other than this.
(I ordered some flimsy Silicon Cases prior to this, but realized when I held them that they wouldn't work for my purposes).
http://www.amazon.com/GameKlip-VM-004018-Gameklip--Universal-Casemount/dp/B00AS22BYS/
The Gameklip of course. Unfortunetly the main site that sells these is currently (Or was a few days ago) out of the universals, so if you want to use this you're going to have to do this route. It's decently stable and I find it's sticking power is good enough on the above case; However, if you find it to be inadequate, you can feel free to glue the thing if you want; Like I said, the case should only be attached to the klip, so it doesn't matter.
http://www.amazon.com/GameKlip-VM-004018-Gameklip--Universal-Casemount/dp/B00AS22BYS/
A Dualshock, of course. If you have a PS3, you can use one of those controllers, but just keep in mind that you'll have to do some fumbling in order to bring it back and forth.
Issues with the set up:
The set up is a little hard to get situated correctly due to there being little guiding instructions, so you can end up a little lopsided if you're not careful.
It feels slightly top heavy because of the phone. It's not so bad that it's unplayable, and after holding it for a bit I stopped noticing, but it's there.
Anywho, it's a good alternative to the MOGA or other controllers where they end up blocking the power button and volume keys; With this set up, the only thing stopping you from having all the ports is the case you want. It's also ideal because it's the only option that lets you use a Playstion controller, and, having come from both it and the 360, I prefer it.
HOWEVER, if you are interested in using a 360 controller, there is hope for you, though I haven't used it.

Utor cases seem to be a better alternative if you want to use a real 360 controller and don't want to bother with a case. But, like I said, I prefer the PS3 controller for this, and I'm fairly certain the Xperia Skin has native support for it, so.
The Utor Case guy told me he should have the PS3 version ready soon..that is the one I am waiting for.
Just emailed him to see if he has any update on the ETA.

Not bad, not bad. The Utor (I keep mispelling it Ultor... Such a missed chance for a Saint's Row II reference!) cases look like good ways of working it, and their designs definitely leave all the ports open. I probably won't purchase one unless my gameklip breaks, but it's good that the Z Ultra is getting feasible alternatives.
Indeed! I was surprised when I saw it since it is not a common phone size..but it sure is a conversation starter
Between it and my watch I usually get some comment lol

Well the PS3 controller being made by sony its super easy to connect as the Xperia already has the built in app for it.
On mine I just press the power button on the controller and it is connected. I can see the power level remaining and turn it off from there too.
All it took to set it up was connecting a usb cable first and run the app, and it quickly says it is done.
Cant get easier than that.
Of course, you may still need sixaxis app for some stuff so depends on what you are playing.

what android games support the ps3 controller anyways??
Somethings just work, like even the Dreamcast emulator..guess you need to test and find out.
Got dualshock and it works like charm.really very easy to connect and till now all gamepad supported games run very well with it.only thing i am nt able to figure out is how to activate its rumble effect which dont seem to work in any game.

I have this set up too but sadly I find game support for the ps3 controller isn't great. Even games like reckless racing 2 that have controller support the ps3 controller doesn't work properly for. Anyone thinking about getting a controller I would suggest get the better supported moga.
