So hey. I was a long term user of sixaxis controller on 4.1.2 ROM. Recently I flashed a leaked XXUEMI6 ROM 4.3 and well sixaxis controller works but the key mappings are all messed up.
For example in the Bard's Tale Triangle is Circle and Cross is Square. Whereas in 4.1.2 there was no such problem. It is not app specific. The mappings have changed for other games also. Is this a horrible mistake Google did or am I missing something?
Thanks in Advance

I downloaded some GBA/GBC emulators (Tiger GBA/ GBC A.D.) on my player and they always seem to crash. I had tried other emulators beforehand and some of them worked, the button mapping was screwed up. The button mapping issue happened N64oid also where the A and B button only register as a B button. I tried to connect a Wiimote to it but no dice. Is there a way to fix the crashing emulators or is there a reason they are working? Also, is there a way to fix the button mapping issue?
I can confirm the button issue. It's very weird, it happens in most emulators and persists even if you change the location of soft buttons so probably isn't related to a touchscreen bug. You should be able to get around it by assigning the back capacitive key or a volume key to the A button for now.
Are you on 2.2 or 2.3.5? Mine is still Froyo, no official update in my country yet.
I can confirm this happening on my GP5 (US), running 2.3.5.
I tried sticking to other games, but certain other games also have issues with it. I know I've managed to crash some games when the playing becomes intensive.
confirmed. I'm experiencing this issue on the 5.0. any leads?
Just hook a PS3 controller to it. Problem solved, and it's much more comfortable (Plus, TONS of hardware keys to map to =D ).
Get an app. call SixAxis controller. It is awesome, and makes playing games so much easier. It requires you to be rooted and have a PS3 controller.
droid.emu appears to work when the keypad is set to VirtualPad enhance. The lite version is available free in the Android market.
Nes.emu works pretty good with nees games.
Snes9x-1.4.7.1 for snes, no problem with buttons.
in 2.3.5 (international) gamebator doesnt work anymore (the only gba emulator that didnt have the button problem). Gameboid (for GBA) have the problem with the A and B button.
Tigger mame, same problem.
Anyone have any idea why we have this problem?.
PS: N64oid 2.6.3 fixed the A-B button .
Has anyone tried the nds emulator? It ran my galaxy extremely hot!!!!

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?
Hey all,
I have an Asus TF300t running a CM10 nightly and Logitech Gamepad F310. The Logitech Gamepads are supposed to work, but I am having issues with mine. Games like Shadowgun and Deadtrigger detect the controller but my character spins around in a circle. And when I go to customize the controls within the game when i select an action to set to a key it automatically puts in joystick 3+ or something like that. my roommate has the same controller and his does the same thing on my tablet. Is it a bad driver or is it not supposed to work to begin with or am I doing something wrong?
EDIT 10/22/12: I flashed Hydro 4.1 JB using the guide and now my controller seems to work fine
I have the exact same problem with a Xbox360 wireless controller (using a non-official PC-USB adapter)
Shucks. Are you running CM10 as well or stock?
Plain stock JB, latest Spanish version.

Oh... the tablet is not mine and I want to keep official versions, so it looks I won't be able to play any game with my 360 controller by now :crying:
Anyway, if that's a common problem, I wonder why people ain't complaning more in the forums.
Ok, i have read many post and know that i am able to play some games using xbox controller. So do i just plug the controller to the usb dock and use or i need to install some app or roms to enable it?
I am rooted but in stock.

You have just to plug it by USB, and it should work in any game with controller support. You can also use it to navigate trough the desktop and launch apps.
I have TF300T and when it was on ICS, it worked with PS3 controller (via USB) flawlessly, but now with JB, it doesn't work whatsoever. Anyone else having this issue?
You tried Sixaxis controller app?
If u already use it go to prefrence -> Gamepad Settings -> Check Enable Gamepad

Hi, anyone trying to play Shadowguneadzone with Sixaxis (PS3 controller, 4.1.2 rooted stock)? I play a lot with this combo on Nexus 7 (works great), but when I tried today (bought HDMI dongle - trying to play on TV), gamepad will disconnect as soon as I start game in deadzone (e.g. select deathmatch).
When I switch back to sixaxis and pair the gamepad again, the game restarts.
EDIT: My bad, got it working (I didn't have Sixaxis IME selected). And I'm too lame to know how to delete the thread.

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!
