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.
was just wondering if anyone has used a usb ethernet card so we can use the prime on the lan??
have developers made anything for this to work? it would be the last thing that would make this little beast a full netbook imo.

with a card like this? maybe?
thanks
I don't know myself other than it must be possible. As on that popular splashtop THD video that floating about, they were having to access their PC from the Prime via ethernet cable as wifi performance there was poor.
Would be handy so I could steam HD media at other end of house.
I'd be interested to know if my SMC USB - Ethernet adaptor would work. I heard rumours that the Apple one was plug and play in ICS, but I haven't got one to test sadly..
I thought there was a driver pack in the dev forum...

With ICS I have hooked up a HP usb to ethernet adapter and use it at work. I use droidproxy to get past my works proxy server.
I didn't install any additional modules it just works right from the dock.
there is another thread talking about this too.
but the gist of it is a few of us have gotten various usb models to work.
if you install a terminal program you can run an ifconfig eth0 to see the configuration after the adapter is plugged in.
there is no native software to view the ip address from a gui.
also you can setup a static address by running an ifconfig eth0 <ip address> <netmask>
[sidenote ifconfig wlan0 will show your wireless configuration] it is highly recommended you disconnect your wireless lan before attempting to connect via the wired ethernet.
hope this info is helpful.

I saw a video on how to connect a wireless ps3 controller
and i wanted to ask if can i connect a wireless xbox controller to the s3
If you have a special reciever, that is actually for the pc, you can of course
But without it just wont work.
Btw, the wirelless connection between the x360 and the controller is based on a proprietary 2.4ghz protocoll, what is kinda wifi, more or less.
Wifi on my router works also over 2.4ghz and the 5ghz frequency, so it could be possible to connect the 2 devices over wifi direct maybe, if we could know more?

Nope, not Wifi, only RF. A lot of devices (including wireless keyboards/mice, wireless home phones, ...) all cram in the 2.4Ghz frequency because it is free, meaning you need no license to broadcast in it.
That's one of the reason why Wifi is going to 5GHz; it's simply too full in to 2.4Ghz for proper transmissions. (The other reason is that higher frequencies allow even more throughput on the cost of battery life)
I have the wireless Xbox 360 controller and USB PC receiver. I can't get it working with my Galaxy S3.
With the OTG cable USB Stick, keyboard, mouse are ok but not the xbox controller...
Any advise?
Xbox controllers do not work out of the box but need the app Joystick center.
If it still does not work:
Install and open the app "Terminal emulator"
Tybe "dmesg > /sdcard/log.txt" (without Enter!) then plug in the receiver.
Hit the Enter key
Upload file log.txt in the main folder of your internal storage
