Can I connect a Bluetooth controller to the phone and just connect it to a larger screen via HDMI?

Yes. This phone does a great job as a micro console. Been playing gta and feels just like a ps2

Is there a way to use a PS3 controller on the Sony Xperia Swithout root and without Sony's Live Dock?
I've got a PS3 controller with a cable, but I can't connect it via USB On The Go. It gives me a power consumption error.

Added CSPortable to list. Works great with pad and HDMI, proper call of duty FPS type shooter with online multiplayer and it's free. Unofficial pc counter strike port/based by people from the Russian pda forums. I rate this game high so give it a try plus only takes up 40mb of storage
Edit : forgot to say that to enable sticks and buttons you will have to map them in the in-game controller settings first and disable gui to take on-screen controls away.

Hi guys my controller is arriving tomorrow. When I connect the controller do the on screen controls automatically turn off?
Also if someone has time can they test real racing 2 with the ps3 controller please?

On certain games like max Payne, gta, shadowgun etc they will automatically hide but some don't and will have to change in settings. As for RR2 it has no support but if have root purchase the sixaxis app and that will allow you to map the pad to onscreen presses, so the pad will act like you touching the onscreen controls (this method applys to nearly all android games so is worth rooting just for this app). Hope this helps

There's a whole sixaxis app thread in the main xda general apps section which contains helpful info and also pre made profiles for games to make it easier plus the developer of the app has a web site with full instructions. But I must say that native pad supported games work a lot better as the games where made for controllers.

1) I mite try to update this thread but its had no interest for like a year so what's the point. Also its now in the wrong section as its all been moved around by XDA.
2) Thread was made for Xperia S smartphone. NOT xperia S tablet but does not matter as work the same.

They should do. If I was you I would use Robert broglia's emulators on market as they are so much better. NES.emu, Snes9x (find it free on his web site, link on the market under description in the other emus or link is here), MD.emu (also now has Sega CD built in), 2600.emu
