i know you can use the wii mote via bluetooth to play our emulators. is it possible to create an app that can utilize the ps3 remote to play our roms. im no Dev so i wouldn't know where to begin to create such an app. i thought it would be cool to see an app like this

i think itd be possible to do it with any of the current gen controllers, but the wii mote app does not work on galaxy because it uses an old version of bluetooth and our phones have a newer version.
How would you pair the controller? I dont think ps3 ones will pair without a usb connection during pairing.

thats the easy part, u can do that by booting off a linux live cd and running a program called sixpair, or WinDS3 on Windows. The hard part is getting the Galaxy S to recognize it

what? How would you do that on your phone? I nkow you can get it working on a pc, but you can PLUG IT IN on your pc. You can't plug it into the phone, and even if you had a cable allowing it, I don't think it has USB host, so it would never see the controller via USB to pair it..
I think he meant that you have to pair the ps3 controller to a pc or something other than a ps3 prior to trying to pair it with the phone. Have seen it discussed in other threads. Relating to his second comment, I am under the assumption that we don't have a proper HID implementation within the bt stack on our phones, hence why we can't connect bt keyboards, mice, etc. At least thats the way I understand it.

yes, you do initial pairing through a PC and put the master address of the bluetooth on the phone. thats how its done for windows mobile thats how itll have to be done for android seeing as how Sony chose to make the pairing over USB instead of wirelessly.
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
Can someone tell me how can I do that ? Should I apply some settings in Sixaxis or Joystick Center ?
You just have to plug it in through USB OTG and you're good to go.
Afaik you'll need an app for the Bluetooth connection tough.

In Sixaxis App just plug in through USB and hit Pair, and USB/BT App plug a BT dongle into OTG and hit search to get dongle's address then plug controller in through USB to pair then unplug and hit search and should find controller over BT.

Sorry to hi-jack the thread but do you still need to be rooted to use sixaxis app on the GS3?
I only ask as my stock TF101 works flawlessly with a PS3 controller over BT after pairing via a USB cable - no root required! Is that a general ICS thing or just a TF101 thing?

Hey guys. Today I bought OTG cable. I tried play Nova 3 with Ps3 controller. ( I didn't do anything. I just used cable. I can control homescreen, apps. But I can't play Nova 3.
help guys Now I have cable but still I can't play some games.
Only some games have built in support for controllers. NOVA doesn't, but if you get Sixaxis Controller you set-up touch profiles so different keys will emulate motions on the screen, that's how you can do it.
Also, only certain devices support PS3 syncing via BT without an app, my Sony Tablet S has built in support, you plug it in, turn bluetooth on and it's synced via BT, but the GS3 doesn't, so if you want to play without the OTG cable, get Sixaxis controller.
Nooo, I want play with OTG cable. How can I use Sixaxis Controller with OTG cable ? Or, Should I try Joystick Center app ?
By using sixaxis controller you'll be able to create profiles for all games , even nova 3 k:

USB/BT controller (I think the app you're referring to) also has Touch Emulation via a plugin (it requires Root just like Sixaxis Controller does though for touch emulation), but as others are saying, why would you want to do that when you can do it wirelessly? Wireless connection affords you the advantage of being able to also connect to MHL and your HDTV...
Anyways, more information here:
I can't do Sixaxis. I think USB/BT Joystick Center is easier than Sixaxis. But I can't find Ps3 controller buttons in Button mapping.

Why can't you do Sixaxis? It is definitely easier than USB/BT - the video above has a guide for a Nova 3 touch emulation and Sixaxis pairing and the blog has a touch emulation profile you can just download and start using!

I also got my wireless receiver for xbox controllers and tried a wireless. It looks like the receiver was working perfectly but it wasn't because I couldnt sync to it. I just want to be able ot play emulators with some sort of controller. I heard that wii remotes don't work anymore so I havent tried but if that could work I would do it.
