I just got my 20pin - usb connection and was going to use my USB headset but i just cant seem to get it to work.
can it be done
Hello,
I am a kind-of-advanced Android user. I know my way well around the os, but i'm not a programmer of any kind.
I recently bought a fairly cheap Yarvik tab (TAB264) running ICS 4.0.3. with a USB host and so far it has nothing else than impressed me !
What i'm trying to do is connect a game controller via USB to play games in emulators. I have a authentic PS3 controller with usb cable and an Xbox controller for the PC, with a USB dingle for wireless connection to the pc / tablet. I do not have bluetooth on my device, but i do have a bluetooth dongle. However, this is not plug and play. If i plug in a keyboard, mouse of mass storage device the tablet will recognise it. With a bluetooth stick this is not the case. I have seen serveral video's where people just plug in their xbox controller and it works, they only have to map the keys in to emulator and they are good to go. In my case, as with the bluetooth dongle, it is like its not recognised.
Is there a way to download drivers for either one controllers, universal controller support or the bluetooth stick ?
in short:
- Can i use the PS3 controller via usb ?
- Can i use to Xbox controlle via usb ?
- Can i install drivers for the bluetooth stick so i can use the ps3 controller wireless (whis would be awesome since bluetooth would be nice)
I hope for a fast response thanks in advance !

I read somewhere that XDA has a special developed driver in case the XboX controller doens't work. I searched the forum, but i cant find it.
Link, andybody ?
Anybody, options, please ?
Really, no one ?
My desktop PC doesn't have Bluetooth, so I was thinking if it was possible to make my phone act as a Bluetooth receiver via USB.
Basically, I just want to use my PS3 controller to play games wirelessly on my PC.
OK after many hours to get my Broadcom usb Bluetooth adapter to work with w8 64 bit and pair with my phone (tip don't put the dongle into a usb hub....ahhh duh) anyways now that I got it working oh by the way you have to initiate the connection from the PC, I saw this option to control the pc with the phone via Bluetooth, cool didn't work, then hit ctrl/shift/1 which switch's it up to allow you to control the phone with the pc, cool didn't work. I finally got an error that said your phone must support remote mouse and keyboard? So after much searching I can't seem to find this feature...any clues Thanx[/IMG]
