I have the international s3 and running Omega ROM. I would like to play games with a controller and read that a OTG cable will be needed which I can try to find and buy but my question is, will it work with a ps2 controller since I have so many of those laying around? Or will it only work with Ps3 and Xbox360 controllers?
You can get an adapter for about $4 to use Ps2 controller on Ps3 and if you plug it into OTG it will recognise a Ps2 controller as if it was a Ps3.

Did you get it? I have two ps2 controllers and I would like to use them with my S3. But I wouldn't buy the adapter if it is not possible. Thanks.
I think it will work with almost any controller over USB OTG with the app Sixaxis Controller https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller ... using controllers with bluetooth though... pain in the ass!

PS2 controllers have a very large custom plug which does not even look anything like a USB plug.
PS3 controllers have a normal USB-plug, hence Michael_P's recommendation of getting a PS2->PS3 controller adapter and then plug that adapter into the USB-OTG.

Thanks, I forgot this important detail. But I have an old PC controller (Logitech), so I bought the USB-OTG adapter and I will try with it.
Every controller has it's own layout, so it might not work at all or only through (commercial) Support apps like Joystick Center
(Remember that you cannot install your old driver on the phone)
I have already the OTG-USB and it works perfectly with my Logitech RumblePad 2 (I had to search it in my storage room).
It moves thought the desktop and I can push the icons. But I tried two games:
- In Virtua tennis doesn't work the buttons
- In Asphalt 7 doesn't work the joysticks
Do you known if could I use an app as this one (it is of paid and I would like to be sure):

Curious if anyone knows about hooking up a wired, usb controller to the TF while docked. I already own the wired gaming controllers that I use on my laptop for SNES roms, but wanted to use it on the transformer while I'm out.
android 3.1 supports the xbox and ps3 wire controllers...and i'm guessing other standard (meaning they work without custom drivers) gamepads.
i test an old PC gamepad i had, and it only partially worked. (some buttons aren't recognized, or recognized weirdly)
eitherway, it's trial and error.
but officially, Android 3.1 supports, at the very least, the xbox and ps3 controllers.
I can confirm ps3 controller works

Will give it a try
Sweet, well i have an older gamepad that once I get the TF I will give it a shot, worst comes to worst will just pick up an xbox controller and call it good
The Xbox 360 USB controller does not work with this tablet.
Are you using an actual USB 360 controller or a 360 controller with the charge and play cable? The charge and play cable does not transmit data, it only charges, so you would have to have the 360 controller synced through blue tooth to make it work that way.
I got one of these docks today so I can confirm that the following controllers work with the dock:
PS3 dual shock
Logitech Cordless Precision PS3 controller (Wireless!)
Mayflash Classic Controller USB adapter (this one surprised me)
HOWEVER!
I was unable to get any of the emulators to register the right analog stick, which for most emulators is not a big deal, but still not as good I think as just using a wii remote with a classic controller which seems to work for all the buttons and sticks and things.
Also, I was unable to get 2 usb gamepads to be recognized independently (i.e. as player 1 and player 2) so for me this is not good either. I am now selling the dock on ebay because the only plus for me was being able to have 2 wireless USB gamepads that are not tethered to something else (wii remote) and be able to play 2 player games. Otherwise this dock just makes my transformer less portable. I'm sure for some people it's great though, I'm not knocking it, it just wasn't suited for what I wanted.
Anyone try it with a Logitech gamepad (usb)?

Yes, I'm using an actual USB Xbox 360 controller not the wireless controller with the charge and play cable. This is an issue that if you search the forums you'll find others who have the same problem. I had emailed Asus more than a month ago about the issue and they finally responded and said:
Dear Valued Customer,
For the problem, currently TF101's dock does not support xbox 360 controller.
Sorry for any inconvenience. Wish you have a nice day.

And when I asked if it will be supported in the future:
Dear Valued Customer,
Currently TF101 does not support it, but I will pass your test result as a VOC(vovice of customer) to the related dept.
Sorry for any inconvenience. Wish you have a nice day.

The wireless gamepad I tried was Logitech, so I would imagine that this would work as well. I have a couple of older model Logitech gamepads I can test later on if I get around to it.
I really am disappointed though in the fact that android 3.1 does not seem to distinguish between 2 different gamepads plugged in at the same time. I tried setting up a 2 player game of Contra by mapping buttons for player 1 and player 2 on each respective pad, but both gamepads controlled both characters at the same time. So it's fine for single player, but any kind of multiplayer is no go.
I take it back. It is something they are looking to resolve:
The next firmware update will support xbox 360 controller and the firmware will be released soon.

Thanks so much for the info! But would you be so kind as to check with the older model Logitech gamepads (with usb)? I'm looking to buy the one that I linked you earlier and this would definitely be a deal breaker if it didn't work.
can you connect the ps3 controller to the tab via bluetooth?

I have not seen ANYTHING other than PS3s that could pair with a PS3 controller.
However, if you have Pershoot's kernel and the controller is fully charged, you can connect it via USB.
Will not work with stock kernels (no driver)
Will not work if the controller wants to charge its battery (overcurrent protection will trip)

Does anyone happen to know what controller exactly would work on a Galaxy Tab 10.1 in combination with the official USB Host adapter? I only have a PS3 controller at home but would be willing to spend some cash on an USB controller if I was sure it would work. Any chance the XBox 360 for PC USB controller works? Wouldn't mind if it's the wired one but the wireless one would be cool, too.

PC USB controllers should work without any work.
Xbox 360 controllers need Pershoot's kernel and the extra modules (aka "lib") archive.
Fully charged PS3 controllers work as USB but not Bluetooth with Pershoot's kernel/modules. PS3 controllers that don't have a fully charged battery will trigger an overcurrent trip when connected.
Actually this just came out. Works like a champ with the Tab 10.1.
Yup, this is a brand new development that happened since my last post on this subject.

I think theres apps that let you connect your ps3 controller through the bluetooth, and play games that way. I saw someone playing Mario like that
ps3 controllers and wiimotes for sure ill research this.

I'm wondering the same about ps2 controllers
The dongles (?) I've seen suggest that they enable you to plug your ps2 controller into a ps3... so, that sounds like it 'becomes' a ps3 controller...
I am considering getting a '2 port' version of the dongle (ebay title: 2 PORT PS2 TO PS3 USB GAME CONTROLLER CONVERTER ADAPTER - Item: 270840161917)
They describe it as such:
Just plug in the USB connection into your Playstation 3 system and you can plug in 2 playstation 2 controllers into the adapter and use them as player 1 and player 2 .
Please note this converter will work with most playstation 2 controllers made but may not work for some types of controllers

That sounds like you might be able to plug two PS2 controllers at once. You would also need something to convert from regular size USB to mini USB.
I haven't done any of this... still mulling it over and trying to find out if others have. (but it isn't really a great investment - maybe < 30$ for 2 controllers and all the parts).
Anyone know of a good game controller? I would prefer one that plugged into the usb port, but anything has to be better than trying to play NES games with the touch screen as a controller.

I'd love a bluetooth one.
Well through searching I was able to get my wireless PS3 controller working. It'll do. Would like a smaller attachment one, but it does the trick. Here's how if anyone is interested...

In fact, PS3 WII and XBOX 360(guides to how are on the bottom) controllers all work on the android, as do most USB controllers that you use with the PC.
Hello
I have MHL adapter and its working fine with my SGS2 but i want to play games on the TV on Wifi/BT Game PAD.
I don`t have any game pad so this is open.
In theory I have rpogram to chose:
a) USB/BT Joystick Center - for any OTG controllers
b) Sixaxis controller - for only original PS3 game pads
I don`t want to buy the PS3 game pad as its expesive a I additionally I want to buy next year the new XBOX.
Best choise for now would be a cheap wireless controller with the program A) which dosen`t need to be plugged to the phone with OTG cable.
Is this possible and is there such a hardware to buy?
Any ideas?
Use a cheap usb (pc) game pad and use it with A program.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
how to connect it when I have the MHL adapter in the USB port ?
the sixaxis controller and the sixaxis app are your only options.
let me explain:
if you want to use mhl, you cannot use another usb device, which excludes xbox controllers, because, well, the wired one needs a usb port of course, but the wireless needs a usb receiver as well (since it is not bluetooth). also, i never got the wired one working, it seems to consume to much power for the phone and only works on tablets.
then there is the wiimote, which works with bluetooth, but to my knowledge, it does not work with the bluetooth stack on the s2. the consequence is:
either you use an aosp/aokp based rom (which uses a different bluetooth stack), then you can use the wiimote, but no mhl, or you use a stock rom, then you can use mhl, but no wiimote.
since you need the usb port for mhl, all "cheap pc usb controllers" are out as well.
then there is the phonejoy controller, which works as a native bluetooth controller, but costs way too much for being just a sixaxis knock-off controller (it is like 60eur here).
so, if you go with the original sony dualshock 3 controller (for about 30eur) and an additional 2eur, you are better off. also, besides being able to pair the controller as a native controller, it can also be connected as a native keyboard or using touch profiles, which means, games without controller support will also work. and since this works with a fairly regular bluetooth connection, there is no cable issue there.
