Hi! I'm looking for advice for a bluetooth gamepad that could be coupled with a tablet as a mobile gaming platform to be connected to TVs. Simple right? Well, I'm picky. The Wii mote isn't a good controller for real games like shooters and racing sims, so its out. The Nyko Playpad seemed great at first, but it has terrible range ... anything over 10 feet from the tablet and the latency feels like its over 500ms. Years ago I played with the PS3 controllers, but at least then you had to use the Sixaxis app and it was ... not consistent enough (in that regard the Nyko controller is much better).
Does anyone know of one that is all around solid and offers the typical dual stick, 4 button gamepad, and is bluetooth?
Thanks.
I would like one as well, but was unable to find one to work on android and windows. I will say that you can hook up the classic controller to the wii mote and play like that. I did this with 2 players on my razr (when it was new) playing golden eye. It was really a pain squinting for that little screen but it worked really well with the classic controllers hooked to the wiimote.

Controlled with an Xbox 360 controller. I'm not that good as you can see I died a few times on easy setting
Interesting to note that it displays movies only on the TV, but in-game rendering on both screens.
Looks just as good as Gears of war on HD big screen. PRIME/tegra3 is a beast. Can't wait to see more games come out optimized for it or even better original titles made from scratch for tegra3.

Not sure if it's the video or not, but it seems to take a noticeable hit to the frame rate with 3D turned on. Understandable though
What do you do to use an XBox controller with the prime?=

You can use a wired 360 controller and just plug it straight into the usb port.
If you want to use a wireless 360 controller, you will need to use the PC wireless 360 receiver. Simply using the usb cable charger to connect will not work.

Did this last night with both Shadowgun and Riptide GP on my 3D Sammy and noticed some subtle differences aside from framerate droppage. The most noticeable is the lack of water splashes on the screen in Riptide. I'm guessing the Tegra3 just can't do 3D as well as say a GTX580.
It's still beast though..just a slightly smaller one.

Are you OC'd to 1.6 GHz? I wonder how much of a difference that will make for 3D.
I agree that shadowgun is awesome on the Prime.
But there's a huge problem when i try to play it with my wireless xbox controller using the dongle.
My charter keeps spinning to the left. I heard that this app can fix the problem.
But for just shadowgun it's a bit expensive.

I have a slow spin problem, but that's because my analog sticks are worn down and don't exactly sit in the center dead zone anymore

And how about the logitech wireless controller?
Have you guys noticed any noticeable 3d effect when connect the prime to a 3dtv? I connected mine to my 3dtv running shadowgun/riptide, the 3dtv then switches to 3d mode, however I don't see any difference in the picture with or without 3d glasses. I have tried setting the 3d slider to 100% in settings > hdmi, however I dont see any noticeable depth in the picture. Please let me know what you guys experience with your prime.
Tried 3d gaming and its ****ing awesome, games don't stutter at all, only shadowgun thd stutter just a bit, considering the gpu is running 2 displays at once +3d seems quiet amazing I wonder how the high Res tf700 will do, anyways is there no way connect HDMI while being docked, it doesn't seem to work..... I wanted to lay in my bed with the Xbox controller and play 3d, but I can't.....is there a way to make it work ?

When I first got my Nook HD+ I wasn't sure which games would run well. I finally sat down to try out all the games I had acquired on my various gmail accounts.
Caveats - I did not (usually) play the entire game. Mostly I was just running through the first 15 minutes to test basic compatibility. "Runs well" only means that I did not notice any performance problems, it is not a guarantee that you will enjoy the game play mechanics.
3D Bowling - Runs Well
Age of Zombies - Runs Well
Angry Birds - Runs Well
Angry Birds Space - Runs Well
Anomaly Korea - Runs Well. I think there may be some framerate dropping during heavy fighting in later levels, but I do not remember it degrading my enjoyment of the game, which I did play all the way through and enjoyed.
Apparatus - Runs well
Asphalt 7 - Runs with slow frame rates, long load times, controls seem laggy
Air Attack HD - Runs Well
Broken Sword - Runs Well
Chess by AI Factory - Runs Well
Cordy - Runs Well. Good platforming game.
Cut The Rope Experiments - Runs Well
Deadtrigger - Runs well
Doodle Jump - Runs well
Dungeon Defenders Second Wave - Runs well. Controls seemed difficult at times.
Epic Citadel - Not a game, but a cool tech demo that runs well.
FieldRunners HD - Can't access bottom row of game grid to drop armaments, which is a shame. I played through most of this title on my old Atrix 4G.
Flick Soccor - Runs Well
Grand Theft Auto 3 - The options allow you to decrease the draw distance and "resolution". The defaults work ok but scaling back on the quality will increase the framerate.
Great Little War Game - some loading lag, does not affect gameplay.
Gun Fu Stickman Edition - Runs Well
Guns 'n' Glory - Runs Well
Ionage - Runs well
Iron Man 3 - Lots of lag in menus. App crashed during action.
Landrule - a little laggy, but game plays ok
Minecraft PE - Runs Well
Mini Motor Racing - Runs Well
Max Payne - Runs Well
MX Moto - Runs Well
Nun Attack - Runs Well
NOVA 3 - Campaign framerate seems a little low (in the 20s?), but is playable. Did not try multiplayer.
OnLive - This works, but I was only spectating, which still feels like living in the future.
Raging Thunder - Runs well. Graphics aren't fancy, but action seemed smooth.
Rebuild - Runs well. Turn based zombie strategy.
Roll in the Hole - slight delays on loading, but otherwise runs well
Samurai Vengeance - Runs Well
Sentinel 3 - Runs well. I've played this for hours and still enjoy it.
Shadowgun Deadzone - I didn't notice any framerate problems, but the on screen controls were difficult to use. This would be more fun with a gamepad.
Superbrothers Sword & Sworcery - Runs ok, some stutter in the music
Sympthony Of Eternity - Runs Well
Tank Riders - Runs Well
Word of Goo - Runs well
Vector - Runs Well
Zenonia - Runs well, controls were confusing
I was surprised that games like GTA3 and Max Payne were totally playable, but holding a tablet and using onscreen controls for an action game can get tiring. I mostly enjoyed things like tower defense where you can pause the action or not interact with the screen constantly. If I was going to play something like GTA I'd probably stick with my PS3 or PC for that.
Cheers,

i don't think you ever have to worry about existing games not running well on the nook hd/hd+. BUT some compatibilty issues can arrise since the games have not been optimized with these devices (and for some reason games published by EA (dead space, mass effect) come up as "incompatible"). For example, Broken Sword 2 has a weird screen bug where the screen does not accept input where you're touching i.e. if you want to interact with an object you need to tap slightly above the icon which is annoying but the game is still playable. note that this only happens on the stock nook not custom roms. but i wasn't really surprised at how well anything ran since its running a pretty snazzy cpu/gpu. dead trigger runs on ultra settings just fine and when paired with a bluetooth controller (i.e. a wiimote or dualshock 3) it's a blast to play. playstation emulators worked great as did some of the newer ds ones. google needs to really just come out with an offical google play controller and include support right in the sdk.
I spent some time attempting to pair several different DualShock 3 controllers with my Nook HD+ and finally gave up. Is there anything special to get that working?
Thanks,
Dave\Esotic
Wanted to add that Asphalt 8: Airborne, Aliens vs Predator and Modern Combat 4 also run very well on this device, bot stock and cm 10.1.
Also a great cheap controller is the gamestop bluetooth controller. Picked it up at my local gamestop and it works with games like shadowgun and dead trigger. Pretty good deal for just $10. Just go to gamestop and search tablet controller and it'll pop up.
Ravensword runs like a champion for me. The intro lags buts that's a part of. Teaching you the game.

Hi there,
I want to custom build a controller case for a tablet (like the Wikipad but just for the tablet of my choice) and for that I need a controller, which works with Android, which I can disassemble and build into a custom case.
Because I am a big fan of the Nintendo D-Pad I wanted to use a Wii U pro Controller but I heard it is not that easy to make it work with Android. Therefore I need another controller for doing it. Because many games are retro and 2D Games the D-pad must be really working really good. As a PS3-player the PS3 controller could therefore be an option.
But even as a PS3 play I think the analog triggers and the sticks are not that great and therefore I would prefer one with much better D-pad than the xbox controller but which better sticks and triggers than the PS3 one.
What would you suggest?
Hi all. I don't post often, but was hoping someone with a V30 could chime in here.
I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for pairing a bluetooth controller to this phone. I've read reviews on a bunch of different brands as well as a few old articles for pairing a PS3 controller (I already own) with varying results. My phone is completely stock. I plan on mainly playing PS1 games through FPSE, but also wouldn't mind being able to play other non-emulated games as well.
I've read this article on Android Authority and think its a good start, but was hoping other V30 owners here could share their experiences.
Thanks in advance.
I use xbox one controller just enable bluetooth and connect to it
8bitdo NES30 Pro is a fantastic quality and priced controller. Great phone mount attachment available as well. Performs great with the phone, have been using since my last Android
Thanks for the suggestions. I don't have an XBOX controller, but I'm gonna give the 8bitdo controllers a chance. The one Yachter99 suggested looks awesome, but is a bit overkill for my current needs. Instead I ordered a 8bitdo Zero seen here:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0156IC8M8/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
If it works well, I'll splurge for the 8bitdo NES30 Pro later on. With the clamp, how does it feel when mashing buttons? Does the display wobble much?
