Sixaxis android app question on S3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i have 2 questions on this app:
1) do i have to keep the app running in the background for the controller to work, or i can close the app after the controller is synced?
2) do i have to launch the app and sync the controller everytime i want to use the sixaxis, even if i will use a ps3 controller just for android?

Anyone please?

???

1) Yes, you have to keep it running.
2) You have to use the app to connect the controller each time.

Thanks!

Has someone gotten this to work properly on an emulator. I tried using this on n64oid playing super mario 64 and I couldn't get it to work. The keys mapped on the settings but wouldn't respond during gameplay. Yet the ps3 controller is working because it works on the home screen. Is anyone else experiencing the same issues?
its paired but I cannot configure buttons, and pressing left and right on the homescreen nothing happens there either what little step did I miss, and its my default imput selection right now
got it uninstalled the combatabilty app and that seemed I left it on and it really did not work right when you have both apps on
Can someone post the Sixaxis Pair Tool? I cannot go to the developers website, it tells me it is unsafe.
EDIT: Just downloaded it through my phone instead. ESET can be aggressive
So is there still no one who has actually gotten this to work with an emulator? I got it to pair with the phone properly, and was able to set controls in SNES9x, but I couldn't get it to actually respond in game. It navigated the phone just fine though
Actually it would be interesting to see if this works with the webtop over hdmi mods? Anyone tried this yet?

is there any user updates on this? Is it possible to play GameLoft with this?
It´s not working for me...
When I click Start on the Compatibility Checker, it says "Driver Started" and just stays there. It´s not showing the Local Bluetooth Address in the bottom of the screen.
Any help?
You have yo download the pairing tool from the website and pair ur controller through a computer using the program

D-Pad and Joysticks just register as the same thing. The D buttons work (clicking the Joysticks). Anyone else have this problem?
*** Edit ***
Noticed in some reviews that the dev emailed them back about this. You just need to assign values for those key presses manually.

I used the pc program, and it showed the bluetooth address of the controller OK.
What I don't have is the local bluetooth address from the Atrix, cause the compatibility checker is not working...

sorry for the slow reply, i've been playing with my a500 and in those forums. here is a quick guide and some answers...
you need:
ps3 controller
usb cable for controller
rooted phone/tablet
sixaxis controller test app
sixaxis controller app
pc with windows (i don't have linux or mac sorry)
motioninjoy (for windows)
getting ready:
download and install the test app on your phone. run it and press start. allow root. upon success a bluetooth code will appear at the bottom of the app. note this.
next, download and install motioninjoy to your pc. run the ds3 tool. connect your ps3 controller to the pc via cable. click on "bluetooth pair." select manual mac address. refer to the code on your phone, this is the bluetooth's mac address. enter each pair backwards! i.e. if your address on the phone says A8.53.D1.29.52 then on ds3 enter 52.29.D1.53.A8
now purchase and download the actual app to your phone. run it. click start. disconnect the controller and press the "ps" or center button. the app should read the controller and the controller should have one solid light on P1. if so, it works. don't forget to go to settings and allow the input and change input to the controller.
in the options you can change the hardware keys inputted by the controller, i.e. home, back, letters, numbers. you can set different values for the sticks than the digital pad or set it up to control your phone.
this controller app can control any of your games/apps that check for hardware input. gameloft games (and most games) do not so it will not work for these games.
i will clean this up tomorrow with links and stuff, sorry for the sloppiness. if this helps, thank me! l8r
Well, I solved my problem.
My root was not working properly, so the compatibility checker on the Atrix was not showing the bluetooth address.
Thanks people!

Is it possible to connect two gaming controllers?

Would it be possible to pair two ps3 controllers, one wired one wireless in order to play games in two player through an hdmi connection?

Or you could just use sixaxis and pair both.

Yup...it's a great app. Just make sure to go into the preferences and set all your button mappings in sixaxis before going to do so on games.
Two controllers connected, but unable to play
Hello!
I used the sixaxis app and paired 2 ps3 controllers correctly, but was unable to player any two player SNES game.
I'm using Snesoid on a Galaxy SII (4.0.3) and when I open the emulator and put a two player game (like Street Fighter) both controllers command the player 1!!
The gamepad preference in Sixaxis is checked, the controllers are assingned with different red lights (1 and 2) and I've done the mapping and SNESoid for both Gamepads. Also the GamePad 2 option is checked.
Any help?

[Q] PS3 controller + USB/BT Joystick Center 6

Hi, i got and Galaxy S3 with no root.
I bought an fake PS3 controller that works directly with an OTG cable. It work very well and I can directly navigate and use it in games.
But with some games, i need to remap the controller to be able to play (for example the analog sticks). I downloaded USB/BT Joystick Center 6, but it dosent find the controller when i tap "search". I wonder if I need somehow disable the native support for the PS3 controller so the USB/BT app will recognize it? If so, how can i do that?

The only real games you can play will be native ones and emulators. Remapping the keys isn't going to work unless its an official ps3 controller and your using the six axis app. Then create some touch profiles.
USB joy center is best used for Xbox 360 controllers. I've never had to use anything else with my ps3 controllers besides six axis app.
Also did you buy the app? (I'm not accusing you either) the cracked version won't work properly.

Sixaxis / ps3, mc4 controller issue

I've got a sixaxis/controller issue... I can pair the ps3 controller fine with the prime. I can also create my own button map profile and save it in the sixaxis app and I can then subsequently 'see' the profile in the sixaxis app active profile and can select it.
However when I play mc4, is acts like it can't 'see' my profile or doesn't 'know' to use sixaxis controller and/or the sixaxis app at all... it just uses the default controls and my right analog isn't working... i have 'enable gamepad' selected also in sixaxis input settings. any advice would be appreciated.
Edit: disregard...I simply didn't have the controller paired properly to six axis, i.e. I didn't start the app, pair the controller, THEN launch the game. Thanks.
