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?
thanks

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.

Is it possible to use BT PS3 controller so that we can connect the Tab to TV while play the game? Thanks.

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?
I just got my USB OTG cable and I wanted to hook in a controller so I can use it for emulators. The PS3 controller doesn't seem to be recognized. Anyone know of any solutions?

Sixaxis controller app on the market will allow ps3 controller through bluetooth. Works great.
I voided my warranty and your mum.

When I tried the App, it stated that I didn't have the right protocol. Hence why I am looking for another option.
Did you do the other part on the computer?

Of course, that's not the problem, the problem is the Bluetooth Stack on the SGSII AT&T apparently doesn't support the needed protocol. This also was confirmed on their site where they said there was an inability to use it with newer Samsung Devices.
You need to be running CM7 of Muiu, which use the working bluetooth stack.

I'm running Cognition right now, I'll try to see about splicing in CM7's Bluetooth Stack then, though I've heard mixed things about CM7's Stack working properly in terms of displaying Track Names over Bluetooth.
Woah.. Call me a noob, but it's possible to plug USB controllers into our phones for games!? THAT'S AWESOME. Definitely going to watch this thread for more info.
Afaik, no. But i could be wrong. Has it been done with a powered hub?

It can be done with Honeycomb 3.1 I thought when they announced it a future update (anything past 2.3.3 I thought) was going to include it for Gingerbread, looks like we just have to wait for ICS
TBH the idea of a wireless controller is more attractive to me anyway. A PS3 controller can be combined with a market app to do the job? If so, would it be able to function as the input device for, say, NES/SNES emulators?

Yes, typically you can remap the buttons and do such. Since I have been unable to do such, I'm trying to track down a bluetooth gamepad that I could use with my device that isn't a PS3 controller. There are some on the market, just trying to find the best option.

Have you confirmed that the OTG cable is working for more "common" stuff?
The PS3 controller isn't a fully standard HID device, so requires a special kernel driver to work. I'll try to whip up a test kernel for you to try in a day or two.
FYI, in addition to the kernel support issue you may be subject to the same limitations as PS3 controllers on the Tab 10.1 - the PS3 controller MUST be fully charged prior to connection or it'll try to charge and trigger an overcurrent trip.

It's next to impossible to do stack-splicing between CM7/MIUI and Samsung stock ROMs. I've never seen it done.
OTG Connects a Keyboard and USB Flash Drives. I tested it with a WD 500GB desktop drive also, works well.
I can say that the PS3 controller works great with the EEE Pad when it is plugged in, no Bluetooth support in Honeycomb. Though once ICS comes out, we should have native Gamepad support through USB then. That's going to be a glorious day.

For what it's worth, I went ahead and got a DualShock 3 controller, the Sixaxis Controller app, and SNesoid/N64oid. After initial configuration they all work extremely well together, allowing some good on-the-go gaming. Now I'll finally have something to do on long car rides or between classes. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
Note: I am running Cyanogenmod 7, which avoids the problem described here.
I just tried it with my PS3 controller. Works extremely well.
- First use the compatibility app to get a MAC address looking string, write it down somewhere.
- Then go on your computer, browse to dancing studio website and download the driver install app.
- While the driver install app is running, plug the PS3 controller into your PC, Windows 7 actually told me something like the driver has not been approved with MS, ignore it and proceed.
- Type the MAC address that you've obtained in step 1, and update the controller
- Download the Sixaxis app from marketplace for $1.79. Run it. Turn on your PS3 controller. Everything should be detected and it will ask to turn on Sixaxis Input method.
- Open up SNESdroid, map buttons, enjoy AWESOME gaming.
edit: I'm on Entropy's completely stock rom, but rooted of course.

Will this work with a normal stock without root? Thanks
hi brought an otg cable for my i777 and i can't get it to recognize my phone even with a power usb hub any help please using shostock rom 2.2.6
I was able to get a Playstation(2) USB controller adapter to work with an OTG cable in one of the ICS leaks. Also was able to get an original Xbox controller to work. But, since the leaks were found to be brick-happy, I've switched to AOKP with the Siyah kernel. The kernel works with keyboards and mice with OTG, but not game controllers yet, and the bluetooth stack isn't capable of connecting to a PS3 controller or Wiimote currently with CM-based ICS.
I see people saying that they are doing it, but I can't get it to work and I can't find a tutorial.
I have a Galaxy Note running on ICS, and N64oid v2.6.3. I have used Sixaxis controller to get my dualshock 3 connected and working on the phone. Now when I go into n64oid to try and connect it, I had to download another app for other bluetooth devices and drivers, but the dualshock 3 is not in that list.
What am I missing here?
Anyone?
hi,
i'm looking for app that with connecting regular mouse via otg i will control my pc with that mouse.
the reason for this question based on the fact that all my usb laptop entry dead...
i tried already to use unified remote, it was ok but it can't move through all the screen...
do you have any suggestions?
thanks
This is a repeat of your question already posted see the answers in that post .
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
