Hello,
Naturally, I've got a Dualshock 3 controller to go with my Tablet Z, so I have a couple of questions about gaming:
* GTA Vice City does not seem compatible with Tablet Z at all, does anyone know why?
* The controller buttons does not work like I remembered from the PlayStation on GTA 3, surely they must have been switched on Android - I thought you'd enter vehicles with the triangle, accelerate with the X-button and go into reverse with the square... Does anyone know where to set up or configure this in GTA 3?
Otherwise, using the controller is a blast, espesially in the old Nintendo emulators (where I get to choose the button configuration myself).

There's some update for Vice City coming soon iirc. Don't quote me on it though.
Try a remapping tool. Maybe there is something out there like the Moga remapper for DS3's.

Since there are many games that have this tag "Supports Xperia Play". I was wondering that if it would be possible to map the Xperia Play keys in Sixaxis controller so that we would be able to use our BT controllers to play those games that support xperia play controls.
Go to 'Preferences->Input Mappings->1st Controller mappings'. All the Xperia Play button mappings are at the bottom of the list and start from 'BUTTON_A' onwards.
Unfortunately games that require the touch pad will not be playable.
In a couple of weeks I will be adding support for 'touch emulation', which will allow you to create profiles that map from buttons to positions on the touch screen (including the analog sticks - N.O.V.A anyone?). Great what you can do with root access!
That would be great. Just one question. When I checked my device bluetooth mac address while bluetooth is on, it is different from the one that is shown by your app. Using the pc app to set the master control to the sixaxis controlled mac address does not seem to work.

The address shown in the app is the one to use. If that isn't working, I would suspect you may not be using an original Sony controller.

Yeah I think it is not an original one. Ordered from eBay but it looks like an original and is packed like one too

Downloaded a copy of Nova 2 for the Xperia Play
Mapped Sixaxis (0.3.1) to keys i thought would work
Playing Nova 2, (Up = right, Right = down, Down = Left, Left = Up FYI)
however i cant for the life of me figure out which buttons are for fire, etc. None of the other buttons seem to work to map the xperia play controls. Theres lots of xperia play games that already are looking for controller inputs, there should be an "xperia" profile that automatically sets all the default controls so we can play those xperia optimized games.

looking for a bluez ime profile myself ........ you would think someone has one?!
What about NOVA 2 HD? I cant get that working.
Anyone figure this out? I want to play nova and modern combat using my dualshock controller cause the touchpads suck. I just want the dualshock to mirror what the xperia controls do.

would make it much easier. and gameplay would be better.
UPDATE WILL BE AVAILABLE SHORTLY (LIKE WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR)
Sir_earl (Sixaxis App Developer) has just released an update to his popular app Sixaxis Controller. The update brings "Native Gamepad" support over Bluetooth with the PS3 Sixaxis/Dualshock controller. This means a USB OTG setup is no longer needed to enjoy games with gamepad support such as Shadowgun and GTA III.
Gamepad Mode can be enabled by doing the following steps:
1. Purchase Sixaxis Controller from the Google Android Market. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en
2. Configure the app to allow it to connect to your Touchpad by using the Sixaxispairtool from the developers Website. http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/tool.html (This is only needed once)
3. Sync the sixaxis controller by pressing "Start" in the sixaxis controller app and pressing the Power button on the Controller.
4. If you are on ICS, press the Action button on the top right to go to the preferences Menu.
5. Select Gamepad on the top and enable it on the next screen.
6. Modify the button mappings to your liking. (Optional)
Games like Shadowgun and Riptide GP need the controls mapped in their respective settings menu.
.GTA III is ready out out of the box. Enjoy guys! Now get to emailing your favorite game developers and tell them to add native gamepad support!
List of games with full or partial gamepad support.
(Full) Shadowgun.
(Full) GTA III
(Full) Riptide GP
(Partial) Shine Runners (Can't control Menus)
(Partial) Cordy (Menus)
(Partial) Sleepy Jack (Menus)
(Partial) Reckless Racing and Reckless Getaway (Menus)
(Partial) Muffin Knight (LOLWUT)
BTW Guys this will only work on Android 3.1+. So that means this is a no go on CM7.
CM7 didn't have native support. That is where sixaxis App will help you to pair PS3 controller with touchpad. So 3.1+ is not a mandatory requirement.

By native support the OP means making Android regard the sixaxis as a normal gamepad and not as a hw keyboard.
I've been bouncing around everywhere trying to creak this nut. Figured here would be a good place to ask. Playing sky gamblers, it recognizes the gamepad and allows mapping of buttons, however some are still tied to back and menu buttons. Re mapping dosn't seem to solve this. Does anyone know of a workaround? Using galaxy note 3 and sixaxis software with ps3 controller.
Fixed: ended up re mapping controls to read as l3 and r3...works great...though if I bump sticks I fire mg or flare...lol
I can't get this to work with Milaq or Invisiblek's CM11 ROMs.
I followed the process using my phone, running CM11 and it worked flawlessly, but on the touchpad the controller just keeps blinking and never connects. Any suggestions?
Anyone use this controller?
I have SuperGNES, FPse, MC3, ShadowGun, Dead Space, Dead Trigger, Minecraft, and a few other games.
1. Can anyone confirm this controller works with SuperGNES and FPse (probably these two are the most important to me)
2. Can you use a USB min-hub to get more usb ports on the dock and plug in 2 controllers
I'm looking to be able to play 2 player games and curious if others have got it to work.
Thanks
I've just gotten one of these controllers myself today. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble.
Some games work fine, like "Cordy". Another well-known game, Shadowgun, does not. The game mixes up the controls, rendering the right analog stick messed up. It thinks the left trigger is the analog sticks left/right and that the analog up/down is actually on left/right. Unplayable.
before, I've tried connecting two Xbox controllers, both wired. These work fine. You can't play with two controllers, however. Android recognizes both controllers as one, so you'll both control the same thing.
Unfortunately, I don't think there's a solution to the latter, it's a driver issue.
---
Did anyone get Shadowgun to work properly with the F710? If so, please teach me!
---
For the record, I'm using the ASUS Padfone, which is related to the transformer series.
Anyone know about emulators with the F710?
SuperGNES says you need to install gamepad IME, which is free. It installs fine, and I can see it in the settings, but there are no options to bind keys...which makes me think its all in the games but I cant figure out supergnes. It thinks both the A and B buttons are down, and I can't change it in the controller settings.
I just bought my controller, may return it if I can't figure this out. It works natively for Dead trigger. ...kinda pissed it doesn't work the same for superGNES.
After having tested the logitech controller, I've decided to get rid of it and go for Sixaxis with a PS3 controller. It's just way more configurable.

I've had my controller for about 6 months now and there is a way to play ShadowGun with it. You just have to manually map the controller yourself in the options menu for game pad input. Haven't used SuperGNES but I use another emulator called SNESoid and it allows me to map the controller out.
Hi,
I am interested in gaming over my imito mx1 android tv stick, but unfortunately the rom is not installed with the required touch screen drivers! so we can't use six axis or gamekeyboard applications for games emulation
so I searched and think about any other temporary solutions to play but non of them had all what I want!
For example:
1) PS3 controller & Xbox is restricted to some games like gta, shadow gun, sonic episode II..
2) Droidmote also work for some with addition of some accelerometer games "although it didn't work on my xperia play but work with the mk808 remote application! I didn't know why" . But in overall, I am not comfortable to play with touch game pad, hard buttons is the best! ( Yes I know that I can use my xperia play game pad to play as an option in the droidmote but as I said this is for some games, not all)
3) Moga game pad is a good temporary solution I think because it can play some extra cool gameloft games, so I am thinking to buy one!
4) Off course, the best solution is to wait a "Hero Developer" how can introduce a new rom with implemented touch drivers!!!
But untill that time, I tried another solution that to make some configuration in the keylayout fils of the PS3 controller to emulate the keylayout of my xperia play, so by that I think that I will be able to control all xperia play optimized games on my imito mx1!! BUT OFF COURSE I DIDN'T SUCCEED BECAUSE OF MY RESTRICTED KNOWLEDGE IN THIS FIELD
So, I need your help and suggestions!
Thank you.

with the last versions of DroidMote Client and DroidMote Server, when you connect your hardware controller to the device with DroidMOte Client installed, you forwards the command of the hardware controller to DroidMote Server.
In this mode you can play also with all android multi-touch games with your hardware controller.
and with your harddware controller, you can press all buttons and axis simultaneously. (many touch points at server side.)
look the DroidMote Forum to understand all about DroidMote
with the same technique, and DroidMote Server for windows, you can play also all multi-touch windows 8 games
bye bye and look this:

Thank you for rresponse, I appreciate that and also I am appreciating your great application, but we still talking about many other games that not recognize all needed inputs from the droidmote client or in general from other gamepads like PS3 or Xbox !!
I want to know the real name of action of my xperia play buttons to use it for configuration other keylayout controller,
so for example, when I press x button in my xperia play with scan code 304 or circle button with scan code 305, this make the avater in gangstar rio jumb or chang weapons!!
becuase I put d pad center for the x button and back for circle button as a names function but with no success!!
thank you.

this are all keyevent:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.html
and you must create / customize your keylayout in /system/usr/keylayout in this mode:
http://source.android.com/tech/input/key-layout-files.html
this is the same way you personalize DroidMote configurations file /system/usr/keylayout/droidmote.kl
if a game support a controller or a keyboard, you can do all that you want. with the keylayouts.
if not support keyboard or conttrollers you must use a touch profile.
this is valid for all, DroidMote, ps3 controller, xbox 360 controller and xperia play hardware controls.
Now, after long time of trying almost all common function keys, it seems nothing can control the gangstar rio as my experimental game! so by pressing all these keys, I can't get any movement after its installation on my imito mx1 android TV stick, although the same version is installed on my xperia play and it is fully customized on its gamepad.
So my question is, why I can fully control this game on my xperia play and can't get any movement with the same version installed on my imito mx1 tv stick?
Other question, is it possible to customize a game to work on a specific gamepad ( not a gamepad on specific game)
Thank you
Good morning,
Bought my Xperia Z Tablet on Friday and loving it so far. Have linked my PS3 controller up within the Xperia section and it works, however the button mappings when playing things like Vice City are incorrect. Native GTA X was the accelerate button but its either Square or Triangle for me. Has anyone else come across this? and what did you do to fix it because it seems that all games are affected. If i use Sixaxis controller app (as i rooted the tablet), it works as expected!
