has anyone who has a dock been able to connect their dual shock 3 controller to TFP? I thought it was plug and play.
Just watched a video of someone doing exactly that. I believe its wireless via bluetooth also, but that may happen in ICS. Don't remember.

I *think* it will be PnP in ICS. Till then, you can purchase SIXAXIS app in the market, it's less then $2.00
I went out and bought a PS3 dual shock controller just to do this then found out that it only works if you use a usb cable, bluetooth is not compatible.
I found that to be lame.

You should check the Android Market, I'm pretty sure you'll find some applications letting you play with bluetooth.
Only certain game actually support a joystick. I think there is an app you have to install that works like a driver for it, but I have not tried it myself. However, it was said a WIRED PS3 or Xbox360 controller would work.
Bluetooth is supported too, but there are very few joysticks that match this. There is a Logitech PC controller and a Gamestop Tablet Gamepad that are supposed to work via bluetooth. Not sure on the requirements. I plan on getting the Logitech one to try this out; however, not sure when I will get around to it.
Here is a video of it in action:

Gamestop
Gamestop appears to sell/support a wireless controller.

Actually no, any app on the android market that would let you use the PS3 controller via bluetooth does not work on the prime unless you root it.
I had the gamestop controller and it is a total POS. It works with some games but they are not controls you can use to actually play the games just using that controller.. GTAIII for example.. You can only control your movement, you cant attack or jump or anything else.
The only game it works for is shadowgun. It doesnt works for any emulators, fpse, snes, sega or n64.
The Sixaxis app will let you connect a PS3 controller to your tablet, but you have to be rooted for it to work.

I imagine the emulator apps would need support for the controller programmed into the app itself, the tablet just recognizing the controller is there wouldn't be enough. each app will have to know what part of the screen to associate each controller button with. with PnP supported in ICS hopefully many more games & emulators will support controllers.
i got it to work. It is plug and play. You just have to go into controls and configure buttons. awesome for gaming.

The way the gamestop controller works, its not registered as a controller at all. It replaces your input method so basically its registered as a wireless keyboard that you cant setup.
My PS3 controller worked just fine being plugged into dock. I love shadowgun on it now. It is a hard game to play without controller.

Through bluetooth on the Droid and Nexus phones I've used it on. I assume it will work the same way on the Prime once we have superuser.
Logitech joystick/gamepad support

Will SIXAXIS work with the SXS and a third party controller?
Like this one: Ebay link
Even tho it seller says: Compatible with Sony PS3 only.
My plan was to play the Playstation games on my tv with the hdmi cable and PS3 controller.
I don't think Sixaxis will work to be honest. But I also doubt there are any games that support it really...
The ps3 pad works with cable and livedock if on stock. And there is sixaxis app for rooted. Playstation suite is already compatible with the pad on ginger bread. When ics comes there will be native support meaning full controller with USB controller supported games like GTA3, shadowgun, onlive.

Yea i was going to buy the sixaxis app. And then play some of the games from the new playstation store with a PS3 controller. But will it work?
And do you know why crash bandicoot is not in the PS store? Is it coming later or?

I can confirm Sixaxis app works well with Xperia S and with the right button mapping it also controls the games from PS store. So makes the perfect micro console.
Not sure when crash will come out as only came out on the other devices as a pre-installed freebe.

Only Root, Controller and App
Button mapping = while we are on Gingerbread you will have to change the button config 1 time in sixaxis settings (listed post below) for the playstation cert games. Or you can map button presses to screen if want (usefull for touch only games) . When we have ICS we will have full native controller support which means we will have the pad working fully sticks and everthing (eg GTA3 will control the same as if was on PS2)
Playstation Suite Mappings
All buttons are the obvious (left = left , L1 = L1) except these 4
Cross = Button A or D-pad center (d-pad center also works on all menus as enter)
Circle = Button B
Square = Button X
Triangle = Button Y
Xperia Play games mapping
Again all buttons are the obvious (left = left , L1 = L1) except these 4
Cross = D-pad center
Circle = Back
Square = X or Button X (cant remember which one)
Triangle = Y or Button Y (cant remember which one)
I've tested Sixaxiss controller.

Yes. But until ICS the sticks wont work as they should. You can either use a Sony Ericsson live dock (works with most USB pads), Or some low powered controllers should work with just an OTG cable.
For xperia s. Can use the app. to capture screenshot of game is........ please.
Once you get root you'll be able to use a Dualshock/Sixaxis controller, you need root for the pairing app see. Then it just runs as a regular controller, of if you want you can use it as an IME(bind buttons like a USB keyboard for compatibility with some emulators).
Execuse me.Which application can capture the screen of any games on xperia s (2.3.7) ?

changed build.prop device name to softwin looks like it did the trick, downloading asphault now, will report it it plays or not. has opened up pretty much my whole library of games and apps doing this tweak. you need a rooted device (running .510 right now).

i havent been in the gaming scene on android, what are some other good recommendations to try out on ZU?
What DPI is the ZU running at?
I'm thinking that 190 would be a good DPI to run at

Here's some good recommendations for you:
AirAttack HD
Anomaly Korea
Asphalt 8
Dead Space
Dead Trigger
Dungeon Hunter 4
Real Racing 3
Samurai II Vengeance
ShadowGun
All of the above titles can be either downloaded/purchased from Play store, except for Asphalt 8 (Which is not compatible with Z Ultra at the moment)
You don't really need to change build.prop device name in order to get Asphalt 8 - if you have a rooted phone.
I'm just getting Asphalt 8 to try it out, will definitely purchase it legally from Play store once it's available for Z Ultra.
If you have a dualshock3 controller & your phone is rooted, then you can purchase Sixaxis Controller app to map the buttons & use the dualshock3 controller instead.
I prefer to use dualshock3 controller because it's a hundred times easier to control, rather than using the touch screen input.
Hope the above info helps.

wrong. 320 default
you can scale it down to as much as you link but 190 is PRETYYYY tiny. I've gone as low as 240 but the UI started getting misaligned- 265 is ideal.

There are a lot of devices not supported in the playstore for this game.. But the good news is you don't need to change anything,.. just follow this video tutorial on how to download and install... as stated above, 'buy' it properly when the playstore support tree is updated with the ZU

*cough* You don't need the Sixaxis Controller app on Sony phones. They support the PS3 controller natively. You only need an OTG cable (USB On-The-Go) - which is cheap, and then you just plug the controller to the phone, and once it's connected and synced, you can unplug it and use it.
This only works for games that supports controllers, so if you need to map the buttons, you'll need the Sixaxis app. When i think about it, just ignore the whole first part of this post. I could edit it, but i've written it and i'm not throwing it away, god damn it

Yes, the Z Ultra natively supports the dualshock3 controller.
All you need to do is to connect the controller to your phone via a USB OTG adapter.
After that, you can unplug the cables & the dualshock3 controller will work wireless. You can control the phone UI using the dualshock3 controller & it also works for certain android games that supports controller input.
However, there's a misconception among people thinking that all android games will work that way.
Unfortunately, that's not the case. Majority of the android games out there are designed with touch screen input in mind - meaning that they don't support any controller input at all.
The moment you load a game that does not support controller input, you will find that you can't use the dualshock3 at all. Although it is still connected to your phone via bluetooth connection but you can't use it inside the game.
That's why you need the Sixaxis Controller app to map the game's touch buttons to your dualshock3 controller, in order to use it inside the game.
Hope the above info clear things up.
While we're at it, if you use SixAxis Controller and you don't want to spend time mapping the controls, then just go to SixAxis Of Power or this thread. But it's pretty easy to make them yourself, so if you have some questions then just ask.
