[Q] Use a psp as an Android Gamepad - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there
Lately (about 2 months) I'm trying very hard in using a psp as a gamepad on an android tablet via Fusa Gamepad (a program that converts the psp in an usb gamepad for windows, mac os, linux and PS3)
After different ways tried (passing by Gamepad Connector and Gamepad Ime normal version of the store and mod versions found on different forums).. I got that it won't recognize it for two reasons:
-To make them recognize a PS3 game controller you need to press the PS button that doesn't exists in psp fusa gamepad.
-The reality is that the psp fusa gamepad driver doesn't simulates a ps3 pad but a common pc gamepad!
So I tryed Usb joystick center (v6.41) to make the tablet read it and..
The tablet recognize a pad. With Fusa Gamepad v0.3 it recognize as "new old gamepad (1)". But on configuration buttons, it flashes all the bytes every time very fast.
Then I found that the 2 precedent versions of fusa gamepad used different drivers (because some troubles on compatibility with ps3.. seems).
I tryed the v0.2.. but the result was the same of v0.3... then, just to try, I tryed v0.1.. and it works correctly!
While trying it, I saw it responds very slow to the commands.. and thought it was a problem in the communication between psp and tab.. but trying v0.1 on a pc, realized it goes slow the same way (v0.2 and 0.3 works perfectly on the pc).
To make v0.1 works faster, I should work on the driver of the psp and I don't even know what is it..
the easies way is to make the tablet recognize correctly the v0.2 or v0.3, so it can works very well as it does on the pc.
I think that in the moment the tablet recognizes that a gamepad is connected (v0.2 and v0.3) and works (v0.1) slow ('cause the v0.1 is a beta version slow itself), the solution is very very near. But I have no the knowledge to complete the job. Has anyone idea of what to do and how?

I've been trying to get it work too. No success so far. I believe it's driver problem.

I tried same psp, same software on a different tablet (Mediacom Smartpad 705i) it works perfectly.
So the problem is between my psp and my tablet -_-

ggedete was
I tried usb host controller, it recognizes the psp connected. I'm pretty sure that the problem is a missing module (joydev.ko)
I tried to insert it by terminal emulator but it gives me "exec format error", probably it needs to be compiled adhoc for Arnova 7g2, I need help but no one responds me -_-

[Q] Which controllers work with the Galaxy Tab 10.1

I've been searching the internet for a while now and I couldn't find any helpful information on controllers that definitely work with a retail Galaxy Tab 10.1 using the host USB adapter.
All I could find was information on Xooms, Transformers or Google I/O Tabs.
Wii controllers seem to be a popular choice since there is an app available for them but other than that it's hard to find any helpful facts.
I'd like to find something that at least has the capabilities of a Wii Classic controller but without it having to be connected to a Wiimote controller for when I play some ROMs. So far I couldn't find an available version that does not need to be connected to a Wiimote over here in Germany.
I don't care if it's wireless or connected directly through an USB cable.
Is there anyone here who has found a controller that works with their 10.1 that is commonly available?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I can confirm that my Logitech Dual Action USB Gamepad works perfectly on the Tab using the USB adapter. Model Number is G-UF13A. Hope this helps.
I just received my controller yesterday and it works alright in snes9x ex. It's the icontrolpad. I got it off of ebay. The application that allows it to work is in the market. It's called Bluez IME. It allows the use of four different bluetooth controllers but of the four I thought that one looks the best.
The other three that work using that program are:
Zeemote JS1
MSI Chainpus BGP100
Phonejoy
And here is a link to the app

If you have any other questions just let me know
has anyone gotten a ps3 controller to work?
I've tried several times but to no avail. even with pershoot's kernel and loading the hid-sony.ko module. I was hoping the TW update would fix this but i kind of doubt it. if you get it to work let me know lol

I have gotten the ps3 controller to work with pershoots kernel. The controller has to be charged completely before connecting to the tab.
Thank you so much guys! The Logitech Dual Action USB controller looks like a good choice. I hope they still have one in stock on Amazon.de when I come back from Ibiza.
As for the Bluetooth controller:
I can't seem to find one that's available on this side of the big pond.
I'd love to hear more reports on working controllers. Maybe we could start a list. That would help a lot of people.

Yup. Bet the guy above would have seen overcurrent trips in the dmesg, if he'd looked at the dmesg.
Uncharged controller = current trip.
Charged controller = works with pershoot's kernels and the hid-sony.ko module
GO to this link and buy it. It works beautifully with the Tab.

I did get the current trip message the first time so I charged it up fully and it gave me no current trip message but still got nothing. I never figured out what I was doing wrong. After installing Pershoot's kernel I pushed hid-sony.ko into modules using root explorer, ran insmod /data/local/modules/hid-sony.ko in terminal and it gave me no error messages so I hooked up my controller and nothing happened. Are there any other steps involved? Do I have to hit the PS button? Once it's connected should I be able to navigate through my apps and screens straight out the gates?
Sixaxis controller
Sixaxis controller from the android market works great if you have a ps3 controller. Requires root before you can use it.
Yup the Sixaxis App works like charm on my P7500. I hope there will be more Android Games in future that support game controllers.
Which games don't? I just ordered the Sixaxis off ebay and am hoping to replace the Wiimote I have been using for mario and such.
I rooted my Tab 10.1 just for this and the Tablet recognizes the PS3 controller but I can't seem to get it to work with my GBA or N64 Emulators. When I map the buttons in the Emulator it recognizes the buttons I press but it doesn't translate to the games itself. Any useful hints? Did I miss something?
/Edit:
The game Cordy recognizes the controller but the screen goes black after a while as if I'm not pressing any buttons. Do I have to set the screen timeout to never when I use a controller?
/Edit 2:
Snes9x seems to work perfectly with the PS3 controller. I wonder why the emulators from Yong Zhang don't work with this setup.
/Edit 3:
Figured it out. Apparently you have to enable the option "Enable Input Method" (Game Pad / Bluetooth Controller) so that the controller actually works. Tried SNESoid, NESoid and N64oid and they all worked.

Oh yeah, now I remember that - I had to hit the PS button before it would do anything.
hey, i'm new here, but i felt the need to necro this thread and add a controller i found working quite well to my own surprise.
i used the official usb adapter and plugged in my Saitek cyborg gamepad
and it works flawlessy on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (3.1) with my emulators (tried nesdroid and snesdroid).
i cant post links but google 'Saitek Cyborg Rumble Gamepad'
it's the pc version, USB, black/greyish colors
myself tried finding a good controller but they seem to be expensive or hard to find and i didnt want to root my device just because of that so maybe this helps someone trying to get a nice controller with lots of buttons for a fair price.
Sixaxis
Sixaxis works on rooted GTab's?!? Score!

[Q] Using Gamepads on G9

Hi all
I own an Archos 80 G9 on latest 4.0.7 Firmware.
You know that since ICS, gamepad controllers can be used to browse the launcher or in emulators like SNESDroid or DroidEmu.
But I saw that not all gamepads are recognized.
My old and crappy Microsoft Sidewinder (not really friendly to use) works well on emulators and in the launcher.
But I tested with a Razer Onza (not the Tournament Edition), which doesn't work at all : nor in the launcher nor in emulators. I downloaded an app on the Play Store, "USB/BT JoyCenter TestApp" which allows to know if a USB device work or not on your phone/tablet. And miracle, the Razer SEEMS to work : when you push a button the lines mount and down (just test the app to understand ^^).
Do you think Archos can add in a future update the support for more joysticks or can a xda developer make it?
Sorry for my bad ugly naughty bad Zoot English

[Q] Xbox Controller does not work with my Android Device

Hello,
i tried to connect my wireless Xbox 360 Controller over an OTG-wire with my Lenovo s6000l Tablet. The lights on my controller and wireless adapter show me that my controller is connected, but my tablet show me no reactions. The App BT/USB Joystick Center does not find the controller. I tried to download the Vendor files from another thread in this Forum and copied them on to my Device.
I even tried to connect my PSX-Controller (PS1) over an PSX to USB adapter with my device, but the buttuns had a bad configuration. The app Sixaxis Compatibility Checkers tells me that my controller is found when i click on Start but when i press Pair Controllers it says that he couldnt find any controller and i should connect one through USB.
After searching the Internet im still without any solutions. I hope you can help me and thank you.
Sry for my bad english

Touch screen gaming

Is there anyone that has found a solution for using a game controller (PS3, PS4, XBOX ONE, ect) to emulate touch controls for touch screen only games? I know I have rooted my installation and attempted to install the sixaxis app, since I had already bought it for one of my previous devices, but it always fails to configure Bluetooth. Are there any apps out there that can accomplish this that we currently know are working with this wonderful os...?
I tried 2 bluetooth gamepads made for Android, one of them can use the D-pad and ABXY in system but doesnt work in game, another gamepad doesn't work at all
Hope they fix/add support for gamepad soon so we can enjoy games on pc/laptop with no touchscreen support (I really wanted to play Implosion).
Try GameKeyboard +
I use it to emulate onscreen the physical gamepad to play nvidia shield exclusive Portal on Xiaomi Mi3, but I also see options to map physical gamepad or keyboard or even mice; might you find it useful.

Use "Sixaxis Enabler" from the playstore. Works fine for me.

I'll give this and game keyboard a try... With sixaxis enabler, it sounds like all it does is make android recognize it as an android controller. If that is correct, then I don't need that due to the fact that remix os recognizes it as a controller just by plugging it in, but I need touchscreen emulation for apps that don't support controllers.
Bluestacks has some kind of keyboard control apk built in?
I tried it with Real Racing 3 and could steer, accelerate and brake using direction keys on a physical keyboard. But the graphics for the game itself weren't represented well and I switched to RemixOS. Which looks perfect in full screen, but alias there is no way to steer or brake.

PS2 controller compatibility with android.

Hi everyone, I am new to making threads but I have been a fan of xda for long time for providing help to me and millions of others.
Now coming back to the point. I have a PS2 controller which I want to use with my phone for playing games. I already have a otg cable, a PS2 to usb connector. I tried playing real racing 3 with it and it works as charm. The mapp application I used was usb/bt control centre as sixaxis doesn't recognize PS2 controllers( or maybe I don't know how to do it). NOW THE MAIN PROBLEM is that I can't use my right analog stick. I tried many apps but none of them recognize my right analog stick..well it works well on my pc..and I checked it on some app also right analog stick works..but when it comes to android it doesn't. Now I would like to know from u people whether or not PS2 controller is fully compatible with android or should I buy a ps3 controller..Or is there something I am missing..
