What cable are you guys using to connect to a PS3 controller?
Its a USB otg cable. It turns out the dualshock 3 I bought is fake. Sending it back!

I thought I was going to have problems making this connect to my controller. When I connected it via wire, there was a notification that popped up on the left side of the screen that asked about connecting the controller. I selected it and now it connects wirelessly. Nice that I didn't have to root the device or make any other mods to it to make this happen!

Without rooting his xoom I saw a guy using a ps3 controller to play an emulator. He did have to use an otg cable but did not root his device. I tried connecting a mouse successfully but the ps3 didn't work. It does power on though. Any ideas?
Hmmmmmm. Well, the Sony tab runs the same os (3.1+) as the xoom. So, the otg cable should work fine. Though, it is only for a select amount of apps that support controller mapping. Now, connecting via bluetooth will not work. As far as I know, but if you're rooted an app like 'sixaxis' will allow for the dual shock via bluetooth! Now, seeing as this tablet has an ir port... the wii mote could be paired!!! There is an app in the market called 'wiimote'. Its free too!

I tried my ps3 controller but failed. I ordered a logitech one so I'll give an update tomorrow. Damned Sony!!!!
I picked up an inexpensive PS3 controller too. No luck with the playstation games on the S.
I have seen some videos that livedock are supported on mini and live with walkman which makes mini pro supported too. It can be connected to a USB mouse, USB keyboard and a USB gamepad.
The problem is I dont know where can I find and buy livedock. So I consider on using USB OTG instead for a USB mouse, keyboard and gamepad.
Has anyone tried USB otg on mini pro? Does it recognised a USB mouse and USB keyboard and so on?

According to me, all 2011 Xperia models support USB OTG.
Will take a look later on some phones.

yeah i just took a research.
but what about connecting it to a usb gamepad?
Checked.
Mini pro does not support USB OTG. Although, it has support for LiveDock, so I am not sure, if USB gamepad would work or not.

how are you completely sure?
wait till someone try and test and confirm it.
I didn't say I am sure. According to official white paper, it doesn't have USB OTG. But it is supported by LiveDock, that's why I am not sure.
Sent from my WT19i using xda premium
Make sure that you are in one of the 2.3.4 updates. This update gave the support for usb on the go. I haven't test it yet but according to other threads you should be able to use an adapter without having to use livedock. Also, i think, some kernels doesn't have support for usb on the go.

The receiver plugs into USB, and then the pads connect to that. It's a way to use the wireless pads on a PC.
I'll have to see if it can pick up multiple pads still

Oh I have seen the video of that on youtube. The reviewer said the trigger l2 and r2 of it doesnt worked for key mappings on fpse.
But im interested in connecting the USB otg with a USB hub. That way I can connect a USB keyboard, mouse and gamepad all together at the same time.
Though I still doubt it would work until someone try it

Just checked that, the triggers don't work. I hadn't tried to use them as the SNES didn't have that many
A hub should work as long as its powered

Don't forget that L2/R2 are big analogue triggers, I'm assuming something like http://www.amazon.co.uk/MEDIA-TECH-..._8?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1331386376&sr=1-8 would work

Sony_PLAYSTATION_R_3_Controller
Xbox_360_Wireless_Receiver

Logitech_R_Precision_TM_Gamepad
Includes data over the pads and buttons. Only, that PS3 controller does not include L2 and R2 button info.
If so do you think something like this would work?

Well I downloaded the sixaxis comparability app and it said my phone will work with a PS3 controller. My main worry is will some $20 ebay offbrand controller work?
Its both bluetooth and it uses the regular PS3 drivers for compatibility with the PS3 so I dont really see why not I just dont want to drop money on something that wont work.

You'd be better off spending the extra $30 and buy a legit ps3 controller. If it doesn't work, then return it. You can get a used one from gamestop for like $35 or something.
Droidmote an app in the market if you have an old phone (Android) you can use that a controller and the Dev has tons of videos on how to make it work for any game I use my note as controller for my Acer a500 work like a charm plus it only 2 bucks

Just for the score I tried a fake controller from Amazon and it did not work, original Sony worked fine. Wish the games worked in analog with the analog sticks though. I only played Grand theft Auto and it wasn't that great. I understand ICS is supposed to be the key to being able to fully implement analog.
Okay so I went to game stop and asked them if I could test a controller and the six axis app said no device found. I tried a few things and I could not get it to work. I'm highly skeptical now.
I'm on CM9 but that should make no difference.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
The Sixaxis work on the Galaxy Note so you must be doing something wrong. Did you install The Sixaxis Pair Tool on your PC and connect your controller to change the Bluetooth address? You cannot just turn them on and pair them you need to change the address from your PC. Here is a video tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTbc2Se5S3A&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Mine works and I am on CM9. I have 3 PS3 controllers paired.

Oh no I did not connect to PC and change the address. Ill look on ebay for a controller now.

No no no no no no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You MUST change the Bluetooth address on the ps3 controller using your COMPUTER. Otherwise it will search for its last paired ps3
OR just get micro USB cable to mini USB cable and CONNECT!

Is there a way to fix this? I want to use the controlled wired to my phone and not over bluetooth

Generic ps3 controllers are known to not work very well with phones. Some do not even work very well with a ps3. I bought 2 for my son at different times. The 1st worked really good, the 2nd is so bad that he will not use it.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
The genetic part is where it gets tricky, you got lucky that it works on bluetooth at all... idk if you've tried, but you have to have it off before you plug it in, and don't have the Bluetooth service listening for it, sammy's supposed to have it down wired.
Basically don't try to use the Bluetooth app to run it wired, the rom takes care of it if it works at all

This did not work, its like it won't even read the controller, I plug the controller in and the lights come on and I press the PS button once and it does nothing.
And I made sure it works I plugged it into my ps3 and it comes on just fine, (it just lags when using it over wireless but when connected wired it works just fine )

yes i tried using it but it only works when you use blue tooth on the controller (the controller lags really bad when you use it wireless, so i wanna connect it wired so it wont lag) its like the phone wont sense anything is plugged in when you plug in the controller but my Ps3 and computer will sense the controller just fine when connected to them wired.
