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!

Can anyone confirm if Universal OnLive Wireless Controller http://www.onlive.co.uk/controller works with the tablet via built in bluetooth please?
There is a new firmware update today to connect a wireless PS3 controller. I don't know if you can use that though.
Waiting for the update here...

The dpad works to navigate, circle seems to bring up the menu and start minimised Onlive but thats about it. Not sure if anything can be done about this...
Wired xbox controller works well though
I downloaded a patched version of onlive app from the onlive helper thread in xperia play forum on the third page there approximately and it works with ps3 controller but maping is slightly off. Square is a, triangle is b, dpad seems to only move after continues pressing but left analogue seems to replace dpad moves perfecty. I played lego batman with no problem and warhammer for bit and found both totally playable. I hope some repatches it properly

Good evening, ladies and gents of XDA! I'm new to the forums so please forgive me if I'm crossing some lines. I've attempted to look for a similar problem not only on XDA, but through Google as well, but have turned up with no luck. Without further adieu, this is the issue I'm having:
I've read that the Transformer Prime natively supports the Wireless XBox 360 controller. Unfortunately for me, this does not seem to be the case. The buttons do work as I can navigate through the menu with my joystick and the green ring around the menu button flashes (which I'm told is also supposed to happen unless I have the Joystick Center 5 app).
Despite my tablet being able to read my controller, the button mappings are all out of whack. I tried playing OnLive with it and none of the buttons aside for the joystick does what it's supposed to do. I've tried restarting my tablet, but this was met with no avail. I've even purchased the aforementioned Joystick app, but remapping the buttons was unsuccessful. Does anyone know why this "native support" isn't kicking in for me?
I had the same problem, Android supports the controller but most of the games seem not to. I had the official 360 wireless controller with the official wireless receiver, and could only use it for navigating homescreens, icon by icon. Couldn't even go to the next homescreen without first highlighting everything along the way
PS3 one works perfectly on the 2 games I have that I know about them using the controller: GTA3 and Shadowgun.

Hey please can you give me some information on how the wireless controller works?
I was thinkin about buying a wireless controller like logitech F710 or whichever works...but I don't know what else I need. Please can you give me details of what I need and how to Install it to the Asus Transformer Prime...thank you.
I have one and it works great with Shadowgun, Riptide and other games but when I tried to use it with Dead Trigger it doesn't seem to be able to map the buttons. I press the escape button on the controller and the game asks if I really want to quit so I know the game sees the controller it just won't let me set it up. I tried all the buttons and the escape button is the only one that works. Any Ideas?
I sadly bought one of these controllers as well and at this point wish I had not. The problem lies in the fact that this "gamepad" is detected as a keyboard by the Prime. The easiest way to test this is to open up a text editor on the Prime and start pressing buttons you will notice that the "gamepad" is mapped to W A S D and various number keys (1-9)... For these same reasons you can't use this controller with USB/BT Joystick Center as it detects as a keyboard (actually this was how I figured this out was by using the controller detection testing APKs on the forums site of the creator of USB/BT Joystick Center... If only I had figured this out closer to when I bought it so I could return it.
That sucks. I'll give my Wii controller a try then and if it doesn't work I'll find a used PS controller since Sixaxis seems so popular.
Yep I have had a Dual Shock 3 on my list of things to get for a while now, those and the XBOX Wireless controllers work the best from what I have seen, with the latter needing an extra adapter (why I am going with the former as well).
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.
Hi people!
A lot of time went by where I wasn't doing anything android related what so ever.
This week I installed minecraft on my x96 mini android box (running android 6.0.1) and some other games and have been playing them with my Xbox 360 controller.
After browsing this forum I even got the wireless gamepad running.
My daughter likes playing minecraft so I thought I would install it on my old MXII clone android box (with a g18REF board) that's running android 4.2.2 .
Installing the game went fine and even got to play on it.
So next step was playing it with an xbox 360 controller (wired) but that's where I ran into problems.
The controller works in the menu (android launcher), even works in minecraft....but....the L and R shoulder triggers are not.
This means I can't MINE or PLACE objects with the controller which render the game unplayable.
Then I realised I had to play around with key layouts on my other box to get the wireless gamepad working as it should, as I found in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792531&nocache=1
But no matter what I do, I can not get the shoulder buttons to work in any game.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for android 4.2.2 which makes the shoulder buttons work so my daughter can play minecraft on this device?
