Has anyone had any luck connecting console controllers to the 4.0?
I have searched around and have seen a possible compatibility
for controllers with CM9 but CM10.2 is the shiz now
I think I have exhausted all my options connecting a wiimote.
But I'm not so sure about xbox 360 controllers.

You would need an USB-OTG cable, impulse kernel is indeed compatible with USB-OTG.

Is possible to use Xbox 360 controller for emulators?
Unfortunately the 360 controllers are RF and not bluetooth. The PS3 controllers would be closer to being an option.
what about a wired USB 360 controller?
It's possible. Android would have to accept the usb as an input option. I dont know if anyone has used a usb keyboard. if so then the buttons on the controller would just have to be remapped as keyboard presses. The analog sticks would probably take some work i'd imagine.

I have a wired USB 360 controller too.
I searched and found that someone have made it usable on Elocity tablet
We need kernel, rom to run it, hope that will possible soon
The real question is can we get two 360 controllers to work at the same time. Then we can hook the g tab up HDMI to a tv and run a snes emu. Classic gaming with a friend!

Nothing. I doubt we will ever get Honeycomb 3.0 Let alone 3.1
That would be so excellent though! Apparently you can use a hub and do two controllers at once for emulator gaming with a friend on your HDTV (HDMI out). Pretty cool.
Seems impossible? but....
I have read these forums front to back and can't find any information on how this guy did this. I would really like to get this set up on my tablet. If anyone could shed some light on this I think it would be helpful to the whole community.

See this thread.
Anyone know of a compatible gamepad that works with the Transformer? I know there is the Datel Wii Retro Wireless controller, but I was hoping for something to use via the USB ports.
You could use a Wiimote along with a nunchuck controller or a Wii classic controller.
Looking for a USB gamepad, as I don't want to use bluetooth.

I don't have high hopes w/ ps3 controller working.. (Though that woudl be conveniant; my ps3's been down for 2 weeks now and another 4 till I get psn again? urgh)
Exactly where i was going with that

Not the most powerful hardware in the world, but should be able to easily emulate up to, maybe including the PS2? I never saw touchscreen devices as serious gameplaying devices because I'm archaic and need physical buttons and controller pad/joysticks, but this certainly changes things with native support.

The wiimote is confirmed working. I'm listing game controllers in my master Emulator and Rom compatability thread, stop by and list the emus and roms that are working for you.

anyone know if this would work on the atrix? i know there are some hacks to make a OTG cable and make it work but now they make them. i dont feel like buying a bluetooth controller just for my atrix, i already have a nice wired PS3 controller id like to use (has 360 layout that i like). thanks!

We do have USB host, and a cable works by supplying 5v on pin 1 (through modding a usb hub) but I dont know the differences between the FPSE and honeycomb he's running and our setup, I'm not familiar with the drivers that would be used to recognize a game controller like that.
Honestly ive been using a wiimote through bluetooth with a classic controller forever, but I might be able to get a friend's playstation 3 controller to test this with and get back to you.
Edit - at the second part of your title, keyboard, yes, many users here have modded/official usb hubs/docks and can tell you that a keyboard works just fine, but if you're thinking along the lines of a straight wire into an OTG adapter into your phone, then sorry, but it doesn't work (usb host mode doesn't get activated)

thanks for reply, yeah its just a afterglow ps3 controller. i would get the wiimote and the classic controller but that would be more expensive than a used ps3 controller. i was just thinking something like a controller emulator or something could be made, idk

most usb controllers should work as long as USB HID drivers work correctly. the issue would be button assigning. now that you've mentioned this ill give it a try with my old gamepad.

I am currently planning to purchase a lapdock for my atrix this Aug 7 when I will hopefully get enough birthday money for this (just can't spend outside of budget right now). I am trying to find out whether it is possible to use an usb based controller for emulators. The reason why I want the USB based one is to save on cost and be able to use the same controller on my bluetooth-less laptop for the PS2 emulations.
to clarify, I do NOT have any usb controller right now so I am looking for two things,
Do usb controller works with lapdock?
if so, which controller comes recommended?
Bonus point if the controller is tiny and have all of the controls that a playstation controller have.
P.S.
If this is just impossible, I'll just go with the bluetooth Nyko Playpad,

PS2 Emulation? On an Atrix with lapdock?

Deafcyclist said:
no, PS2 emulation on my Toshiba Laptop. PS1 emulation on my atrix/lapdock. This is why I want a controller that I can switch between the two anytime I need to. Unfortunately, my toshiba laptop do not have bluetooth :crying:
If PS2 emulation on an atrix ever come to pass, I would love it! but I honestly doubt it. In the meantime, I want to be able to play basically everything from Playstation 1 and earlier games.

Wow, this is kind of eerie, and lucky for you at the same time. I just recently decided to buy a PS3 controller for me to use for FPSE on my Atrix using Sixaxis Controller app. It works perfectly, and it's connected using bluetooth. I use the PS3 controller even when my Atrix is mounted on my Lapdock, still using Sixaxis Controller. So, to answer your question, Get a PS3 controller, 'cause it'll work on your Atrix while using Lapdock. As a bonus, you can charge the PS3 controller via USB on the lapdock (which is what I do.) The best part is, it also works perfectly on a Windows PC using the DS3 tool. I use the same PS3 controller to play PS2 games on my PC. I can even help you out in setting it up if you go through with it. Hope this helps. And sorry if what I said is a little confusing. I just got excited 'cause I was wondering the same thing as you, just a few weeks back.

my logitech gamepad did not work, no sign of it on android, but i only tested it with hd dock and neutrino rom. im not on blur for now but maybe on the weekend ill test it with blur.
for those who have ps3 controller, is it OEM or third party? i was thinking of getting one but i have a wii and got classic pro which works great on n64oid, much better joystick sensitivity than wii64 with gamecube controller.

The PS3 controller connects to your phone via bluetooth. It's more convenient in my opinion, compared to hooking it up to your lapdock's USB port. I know it's not exactly what you're looking for, but i think it's a better solution. Your thoughts?

For the PS3 controller, it has to be a Genuine Sony Dualshock 3 or Sixaxis. Otherwise, you'll have a problem connecting it to Sixaxis controller, the app used to pair the controller to your phone. I haven't tried using a Wii controller, or any other controller for that matter. I decided to try the PS3 controller, and it works excellently for me.
I know the wiimote works just fine, i even have the gamepad connected with it, and use it for my snes games and whatnot. look up Wii Controller IME by Ryan Frawley in the store. =]

@abetsi
that was my concern all along, not being compatible with sixaxis. ill just wait until i really want one. not very much of a cellphone gamer. i have dslite and 3ds.
@Deafcyclist
it is possible ics has even more drivers, so i might test it later. as i recall to pair ps3 controller with sixaxis a PC is required, its through usb. i suppose it can be used like you want it.
edit: testing new jellybean alpha and my logitech gamepad works, both joystick and dpad. i have not tested any game yet but its good news native usb gamepad support.
Deafcyclist said:
I am okay with connecting to the atrix/lapdock with bluetooth, my main concern is whether I can connect a PS3 controller directly to my TOSHIBA LAPTOP (not the lapdock) via usb. I know that a PS3 controller have a mini-USB port for charging, but I'm not sure if this can be used to get the PS3 to connect via USB. If this is the case, then this controller may be perfect for me in pretty much every way except for it's size (I wanted some really tiny controller, heh)
el_venga, I wonder if CM9 have better USB support in general? I'm using Jokersax's CM9.

I'm pretty sure it'll connect to your laptop. I'm using mine on my MacBook Pro running Windows 7 via USB to play PS2 games and such. As long as you have the correct programs to run it, I'm confident that it'll work.
Hi,
I want to connect a ps3 controller using the cable to my international rooted s3 but have a question.
How does the phone recognize the ps3 controller with the otg cable? Does the cable come with some drivers to be installed or do I just plug it in and attach ps3 controller and it simply works?
As far as I know, no drivers are needed. Just plug your sixaxis and il will work (you'll have to map the keys into the game anyway).
You shoud also consider using "Sixaxis Controller" to use it via BT.

Is there a difference between a SixAxis Controller vs a wireless ps3 controller? Sorry I dont own a ps 3
I never tried to use a wireless ps3 controller other than the sixaxis.
Many wireless controllers needs a dongle to connect to the PS3. You should ensure that the one you have use bluetooth without any dongle.
In the case you need a dongle, you'll have to connect it with a usb otg cable (you won't need any drivers as I said).
I can't guarantee the "sixaxis controller" app will work with a different one.
Interesting thread,i actually own a ps3 and a gs3 (^^) and never believed i can use my sixaxis via Bluetooth on my galaxy, which games are supported?
Inviato dal mio Samsung Galaxy S III con Tapatalk!
Virtually every game can be played with sixaxis. Some support are native (you'll have to map the keys anyway) like mame, etc.
For games wich can be played "only" with the touchscreen, you'll have to use a special mapping on sixaxis controller.
You'll find some profiles in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1800342
For information, GTA III is also supported. I'll have to work on Onlive profiles soon.
Hope that helps.
I picked up a ps3 controller from a second hand store for ten pounds bargain i thought.
Games wise link above is great i havent come across many games that dont work appart from a select gameloft titles

Will a dualshock 3 ps 3 controller work with no problems? I'm not able to find the original sixaxis ps3 controller locally. But the guy at EB games said that Dualshock 3 has sixaxis built in but with rumble...any thoughts?
