Hey guys, I'm new here!
Just wondering if anyone has had much experience using their ps3 or xbox 360 controller with their device to play games? I've been looking into it but I haven't tried it yet. I think it would be great to be able to use them for things like emulators because for example SNES emulators are a bit dodgy to play with touch controls.
I know there's a sixaxis controller app to connect your ps3 controller and I heard that you can use a micro USB to female usb 2.0 to use your wired xbox 360 controller. I also believe you can connect a wireless xbox 360 controller if you have a wireless adapter.
Any thoughts on this?
Hi mate.
I have for the USB adapter for the S3 where you directly plug your controller into your device.it works great and is instantly rcognised! I use the ps3 controller since its more portable.only issue is that the wire and movements may cause the phone to fall when your playing games so you will have to have a good stand. Also for most games, I've used GBA, nes, psx, n64 emulators and GTA Vice city you have to configure the controller which is a pain at first.
I also have used the sixth axis Bluetooth feature which is great as well.just have to get the controller IDs off the PC and configure them to the phones Bluetooth.if you connect the controllers to another device like their consoles or Bluetooth to a PC, the connection to the phone has to be done again on the PC which can be annoying. But If you have the USB phone adapter you can configure it straight away and use it wirelessly.
Only problem I have with this is that gaming can make the phone heat up so its beat to keep the case ventilated and in a cool area to avoid over heating.
But it works very well!

Hey, thank you for the information I have ordered a USB adapter to test out the xbox 360 controller which seems like the easiest option. I might get some sort of stand as well then because I can imagine it becoming annoying.. which leads me to think that although the ps3 controller seems to need a bit more messing around with, I like the idea of a wireless controller.
I was wondering about the over heating possibility although I've only really noticed the handset getting pretty hot whilst playing vice city.
Cannot wait to test this out!
Yep, as mentioned a USB On The Go cable works great with the S3. PS3 controller works just fine.. I think I remember having trouble with the 360 controller. And the sixaxis app does works great too

Oh great, thank you that's good to know my PS3 is at university so I'll try that when I get back there in a couple weeks. As for the USB cable for the xbox controller, I didn't realise I needed an OTG cable (a normal one didn't work today haha) luckily they're cheap, it should arrive tomorrow
I use the sixaxis control app and my second ps3 controller.
You can wireless control your whole phone with your ps3 controller,like changing music and videos,scrolling trough the homescreen.
If you already have a second ps3 controller its pointless to buy a usb adapter since you can buy the app for one buck and have much more comfort.

Very true. Does it respond to vibrations as well? That would be cool. I ordered an adapter because I want to try out the 360 control as well to make a conclusion as to what my favourite is
Wrong section, post in QA
Uhhh it seems fine in this section, don't think there was any need for you to comment to be honest!
i tried playing with a 360 controller and it wouldn't register the controller so, while it's a bit of a hassle to set up, you the PS3 controller is doable.

Did you use a OTG cable with your 360 controller? I used a normal micro usb - female 2.0 and that didn't register either but I heard the OTG cables work fine. I will try out both controls and post back what I think

That's because people don't care about the rules.
To use a ps3 controller via the cable it will work natively, to use the Xbox controller there is an app called USB BT joycenter which is available on the market.
There is also an app called sixaxis controller which will enable bluetooth for your phone and ps3 controller.
To play the games on your phone there is something called a Gameklip which is available in the accessories section of XDA in the sgs3 part.
I've bought one myself and it's really well made and works a charm.
If you are thinking of using two bluetooth pads and using the MHL cable to send the signal to a TV that is also possible but MHL on the S3 isn't great, the vast majority of people have an issue with the screen being set at a low refresh rate, or being stuck on 720p.
I myself have two LED 3D tvs, one LG which shows the picture in 1080p but at 30hz
And a panasonic viera which shows it in 1080i @ 60hz, the viera is much quicker and the input delay isn't as noticeable.
If you go down the bluetooth ps3 controller route then you will want to check out the themes and apps section to get profiles for the most popular games for the six axis app.
Hope this helps.

Yes it does.
As for the xbox controller, it is a bit too chunky to play games on your phone, not very portable and you also have to worry about that big cable dangling around all the time.
Also there is a kernel (perseus) which apparently has support for the xbox controller too.

Thank you this information is very helpful.
I did not realise that android 4.2 makes it difficult to use Bluetooth devices. (I'm on cyanagenmod 10.1). Currently I am having trouble getting the Xbox 360 controller to work with emulators and any game for that matter using the USB BT joy center app. I'm following all the instructions and recommendations to a tee! Is this because I'm on 4.2? I know the OTG cable works because it recognises the controller in the app plus I can use a USB mouse with my device.
Also I never before considered using the Wii remote. I tried to pair mine but the problem was down to the fact I have 4.2 installed. Is there any way round this? I haven't found a solution so far. In don't really want to have to downgrade

I can vouch for the Gameklip with a PS3 controller. Works very well, and is remarkably similar to Nvidia's new Project Shield.
I use a wired connection to the S3 because it's simpler and also because I found sometimes SixAxis would get pushed out of memory and closed if I was playing a heavy game. Annoying if your controller stops working mid-game.

I read a glut of reviews when they were posted last night so forgive me for not remembering which one mentioned this, but..
I thought I read somewhere that the tablet will have native support for Xbox 360 controllers (with wireless adapter--though I believe HC already supports this) and wireless PS3 support, as in they added drivers to support them.
Has anyone else heard this? That would be amazing if PS3 controllers started working without having to open an app every time you wanted to use it and then disable it when you were done.

The current transformer supports this as well. The problem is app support. There's an app on the market that does really well with the xbox 360 controller, and will even map the analog nubs to buttons. It has worked the best in the emulators that I used it with.

Ps3 works you just have to configure the controller on a pc first!

As far as I've understood, you've always had to use apps like these to get it to work. I think what I read was that the Prime will have native support, so I am assuming all you would do is turn on bluetooth and then the tablet & the controller would automatically pair together.
Don't get me wrong, I plan to use the hell out of a controller on this thing--I'm not complaining. It would just be awesome if every time I didn't have to launch a separate app before I launch the actual game/emulator.
Video I saw last night said that TF Prime supports game controllers right out of the box.
Video @ 6:15 talks about Game Controller
I don't know why reviewer used USB BT to TF keyboard base. I'd think you could go direct to tablet BT.
Look forward to hearing full answer to this question though.

Yes, like I said, the problem is app support. The game shown in the video apparently supports game pads with analog sticks. A lot of games, however, do not. So, if you want to use analog sticks in a game that does not recognize them, you will probably need to do something like what I had posted before so that you can re-map those to keyboard buttons.
Bluetooth Controler
This is my first post on the xda-developers forum.
Your are missing out on a GREAT Bluetooth controller for the Prime.
This is my first Android tablet so I hope my idea of a perfect portable gaming machine works!
Here is the dual analog controller I found. Check out phonejoy-net as a new member I am not able to post links.
This software (Bluez IME) for 4 bluetooth controllers in the Market.
Now I am not sure that this will work on the Asus Prime? Any recommendations?

Re: Game Controllers.
Am I reading this thread correctly, that you can use some kindof software to use a blue tooth game controller on " any game " after I go through some kindof controller button programming.
OR
are Game Controllers only for " games designed to work with game controllers".
Thanks

Unfortunately, it's for the latter. On the plus side, I expect the vast majority of Tegra Zone games to support controllers, if only because nvidia seems to be advertising that feature hard. Can't wait to try that shadowgun game!

Any game that allows for keyboard input, you can map to gamepad controls with the use of another app. For apps that directly support gamepads, you just need to tell it to use the gamepad input.

(beleive it or not) I have no controller pad at home. My Prime being pre-ordered, what pad would you recommand me to buy ?
Xbox ?
Ps3 ?
Wireless ? (If i could keep my dock's usb port free while emulating or gaming, it would be great...)
What is the must-have ?
(thx !!)
So did anyone tried with xbox360 gamepad ? is it working ? what do I need to get to be able to use xbox360 gamepad ?
One of the pre-release reviews I've watched on Youtube, was demoing the gamepad.
Asus sent out the Logitech F710 with his Prime.
The reviewer plugged the Logitech dongle into the TF keyboard USB port, and was plug and go.
How about the wii controller? I haven't used any controllers for my a500, but I want to for my Prime. I have all 3 controllers, I just figured the wii was more "portable".
NVM. watched after I wrote. supports all 3. niiiiiice

You'd need a USB adapter for tablet, or the keyboard base to plug in any USB dongle though, a few I've seen are WIFI dongles.
PS III looks to have a Bluetooth Version that should probably work. I would look for an actual confirmation before buying one on that basis.
Does anyone know if the prime will let you connect more than one Bluetooth device at a time? I would like to use a PS3/Phonejoy controller along with my Bluetooth headphones.
Just received my transformer prime, and currently updating it to ICS - so far everything's great ^_^ I'm really keen to try using my PS3/Xbox/Wii controller with the tablet, but can't find instructions on how to pair any of them anywhere - anyone got any ideas?
I wasted money on a PS3 controller to do just that. Then found out that its not compatible (via bluetooth) with the prime.
I have ICS and had to finally root it to be able to use my PS3 controller with bluetooth, using a third party app, but its a pain to setup each game for it.
Wiimotecontroller on the Market allows you to pair a Wiimote to the Prime via Wi-Fi. It's free but can be a pain to set up every time you want to use it. Also, as above there is an app called Sixaxiscontroller (Paid) which allows you to pair your PS3 controller to the Prime but it does require you to root. There are also some third part controllers out there such as Gamestop's own tablet controller.
Cheers but I thought it was meant to have out-the-box compatibility with these controllers?
I believe the compatibility was only wired (USB)... not wireless

You have to connect it via the USB in the dock for it to work out-the-box.
There are some wireless USB dongles that work with some controllers.
Needing root for wireless PS3 controller support is across all of Android. I don't have the technical explanation, I just know that you have to be rooted for the pairing applications to work.
Just get this. It's for the Trasnformer, but I would assume it would work on the Prime. Same connector.
I put the wrong link. But there is an adapter that provides a USB port. I just can't find it. lol
For example, what sort of game controller would you need to make this work. I'm guessing you can't use the PS3 one over USB? Does the cable just transmit power but still connects via bluetooth to the PS3?

Pretty sure the PS3 Controller works perfectly fine when you pair it with the Prime via USB, it's just via Bluetooth i.e no dock/adapter that you have to root it.

I have not tried the ASUS USB adapter, but it should work with the wired xbox360 controller.
I have tried using the wireless controller, with the charge-n-play kit plugged into the TF201-DOCK, which is supposed to make it equal to a wired controller, and that does not work. I do not have an actual 360 wired controller.
On the recommendation of others, I even bought the USB/BT JoyCenter app from the Market, and that did not work, though I suspect that I could use one of my Wiimotes now (I don't like that controller though).
I'm looking for a controller to use with my att
note. What are my options? I used to use the Wii mote with classic controller on my old iPad. It didn't work the same here. I see these female usb adapters do they work using a ps3 and or xbox controller? They all say Android 3.0 or higher. Or how bout the Gamestop wireless controller. I have all the consoles so i rather use a controller i already have if possible. Btw I'm looking to play gta3 and emulators snes nes gba.

I've seen it work, but that has always been on custom ROMs, not sure if the use of a wiimote is restricted to custom ROMs due to proper BT drivers being cooked into them or not. I never really had any desire to try it, but you're making me curious now as I have a Wii with all the toys and add ons that no one touches anymore.
Well there isn't many roms yet. I did try saurom with the wiimote and it wouldn't fully sync. The remote was found but kept blinking and just shut off. Is there a usb host on the g note? Does the female adapter work. Cause i have seen the gs2 with that working on stock ROM and this phone isn't far from that. It would be awesome to use the xbox wireless receiver.

Im using sixaxis to connect to a ps3 controller with bluetooth.

Edit-to connect the ps3 controller you need the sixaxis app and you need to go to their website and get software for your windows pc(you will also need ps3 controller drivers), then connect the controller to your pc and use the software to edit the mac address to our phones bluetooth, the sixaxis app will show what your mac is.
They may have the same software for linux or macs, I do not remember.

Edit-to connect the ps3 controller you need the sixaxis app and you need to go to their website and get software for your windows pc(you will also need ps3 controller drivers), then connect the controller to your pc and use the software to edit the mac address to our phones bluetooth, the sixaxis app will show what your mac is.
They may have the same software for linux or macs, I do not remember.

Is it wireless? That'd be pretty funky to have to hook your ps3 controller into a pc in order to play on your phone.
I suggest a 6ft. Mini-USB cable attached to your laptop pc with a USB extension cable and placed on your favorite coffee table or flat surface. Add to that the HDMI cable for the note, and you have a pretty cool setup. Would it be practical? No. But would you earn major geek cred points?
You betcha.
Wait this is only to set it up at first right? After that i can use the ps3 controller at will? Without the pc.

On the atrix I could use the Wiimote perfectly fine. Unfortunately I believe it's a problem with newer galaxy s phones. I tried almost every app but no go so far.

Have you tried Bluez IME?
I had wonderful luck with that, but then again I was running CM7. It becomes a keyboard input, and the android thinks you have a bluetooth keyboard.
Give that a shot.
I no longer have a wii to try it out on :/

Ok so the ps3 controller works flawlessly.wiimote won't work with touch wiz devices on stock ROM. Bluez ime don't work as far as i know unless i just don't have a supported controller. I couldn't get it to sync anything but for the ps3 remote just download sixaxis from the play store and the sixaxis pair tool from dancing pixels website on pc and connect the controller through usb cable, change the Bluetooth mac address on the controller and it will sync right up. This works for all games and emulators with on screen touch pads. I can now play all n64 snes nes games with a ps3 controller and gta3 sonic cd reckless racing all work amazing. Its the most useful controller app I've seen yet. Best part combine this with mhl hdmi out and you have a portable console in your pocket. Still haven't figured out multi player though.

most usb controllers should work as long as USB HID drivers work correctly. the issue would be button assigning. now that you've mentioned this ill give it a try with my old gamepad.

I am currently planning to purchase a lapdock for my atrix this Aug 7 when I will hopefully get enough birthday money for this (just can't spend outside of budget right now). I am trying to find out whether it is possible to use an usb based controller for emulators. The reason why I want the USB based one is to save on cost and be able to use the same controller on my bluetooth-less laptop for the PS2 emulations.
to clarify, I do NOT have any usb controller right now so I am looking for two things,
Do usb controller works with lapdock?
if so, which controller comes recommended?
Bonus point if the controller is tiny and have all of the controls that a playstation controller have.
P.S.
If this is just impossible, I'll just go with the bluetooth Nyko Playpad,

PS2 Emulation? On an Atrix with lapdock?
---
Deafcyclist said:
no, PS2 emulation on my Toshiba Laptop. PS1 emulation on my atrix/lapdock. This is why I want a controller that I can switch between the two anytime I need to. Unfortunately, my toshiba laptop do not have bluetooth :crying:
If PS2 emulation on an atrix ever come to pass, I would love it! but I honestly doubt it. In the meantime, I want to be able to play basically everything from Playstation 1 and earlier games.

Wow, this is kind of eerie, and lucky for you at the same time. I just recently decided to buy a PS3 controller for me to use for FPSE on my Atrix using Sixaxis Controller app. It works perfectly, and it's connected using bluetooth. I use the PS3 controller even when my Atrix is mounted on my Lapdock, still using Sixaxis Controller. So, to answer your question, Get a PS3 controller, 'cause it'll work on your Atrix while using Lapdock. As a bonus, you can charge the PS3 controller via USB on the lapdock (which is what I do.) The best part is, it also works perfectly on a Windows PC using the DS3 tool. I use the same PS3 controller to play PS2 games on my PC. I can even help you out in setting it up if you go through with it. Hope this helps. And sorry if what I said is a little confusing. I just got excited 'cause I was wondering the same thing as you, just a few weeks back.

my logitech gamepad did not work, no sign of it on android, but i only tested it with hd dock and neutrino rom. im not on blur for now but maybe on the weekend ill test it with blur.
for those who have ps3 controller, is it OEM or third party? i was thinking of getting one but i have a wii and got classic pro which works great on n64oid, much better joystick sensitivity than wii64 with gamecube controller.

The PS3 controller connects to your phone via bluetooth. It's more convenient in my opinion, compared to hooking it up to your lapdock's USB port. I know it's not exactly what you're looking for, but i think it's a better solution. Your thoughts?

For the PS3 controller, it has to be a Genuine Sony Dualshock 3 or Sixaxis. Otherwise, you'll have a problem connecting it to Sixaxis controller, the app used to pair the controller to your phone. I haven't tried using a Wii controller, or any other controller for that matter. I decided to try the PS3 controller, and it works excellently for me.
I know the wiimote works just fine, i even have the gamepad connected with it, and use it for my snes games and whatnot. look up Wii Controller IME by Ryan Frawley in the store. =]

@abetsi
that was my concern all along, not being compatible with sixaxis. ill just wait until i really want one. not very much of a cellphone gamer. i have dslite and 3ds.
@Deafcyclist
it is possible ics has even more drivers, so i might test it later. as i recall to pair ps3 controller with sixaxis a PC is required, its through usb. i suppose it can be used like you want it.
edit: testing new jellybean alpha and my logitech gamepad works, both joystick and dpad. i have not tested any game yet but its good news native usb gamepad support.

I am okay with connecting to the atrix/lapdock with bluetooth, my main concern is whether I can connect a PS3 controller directly to my TOSHIBA LAPTOP (not the lapdock) via usb. I know that a PS3 controller have a mini-USB port for charging, but I'm not sure if this can be used to get the PS3 to connect via USB. If this is the case, then this controller may be perfect for me in pretty much every way except for it's size (I wanted some really tiny controller, heh)
el_venga, I wonder if CM9 have better USB support in general? I'm using Jokersax's CM9.

I'm pretty sure it'll connect to your laptop. I'm using mine on my MacBook Pro running Windows 7 via USB to play PS2 games and such. As long as you have the correct programs to run it, I'm confident that it'll work.
What apps/equipment etc do I need to play games on my Note on my TV and use the PS3 controller as the controller?

You need an MHL Adapter and an HDMI cable to view your device on your TV. The MHL Adapter needs to be compatible with your device. You can get one cheap on Ebay but add the name of your device in the search kind of like this MHL ADAPTER GALAXY NOTE. To use the PS3 controller you will need a real Sixaxis controller not a knockoff and you will need an app called Sixaxis Controller from the market. Install the app and follow the directions or you can do a google search to get the directions on how to setup the PS3 controller cause u have to hook the PS3 controller to your PC and change the bluetooth mac address before it will work.
Since it looks like you have BOTH the PS3 and the TV, why not play with the PS3 instead?
Just a heads up. I've only had luck getting this to work on ICS ROMS(or gingerbread). I haven't been able to get the MHL adapters to work with Jellybean ROMs. I might be the only one here.
Now if they could only get Vice City to work for us......

He might not have a PS3 and/or isn't trying to play PS3 games on the Note (I don't even think that's possible).
I say that b/c I am guilty of both myself. I bought a PS3 controller just to play games on my phone. The adapter is laggy for games though, only good for movies IMO.
