[Q] Root required for mapping Dualshock 3? - Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

Do I need root to configure controller settings in a game, specifically games with no controller support? I've known that the SixAxis app in play store needs root. If no, then how?
For example, I'd like to play Real Racing 3, DH5 or Aralon with DualShock 3. Please correct me if the games I've stated has controller support. TIA.

[TUT] Native Gamepad Support Over BT [Sixaxis]

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?

[Q] How to get more compatibility with Game Controller

I bought my ATP from Gamestop and it came with a game controller however it is only compatible with a very limited number of games. Is there a 3rd party app that can make the controller compatible with more games or make it usable on the FPSe playstation emulator for android?

[Q] How to find key mappings for games?

So i just bought a MOGA controller and installed the MOGA universal driver app. I want to play modern combat 3 and sonic 4 episode 1 but I don't know how to find the right keymappings for games. If anyone could help me or suggest a software that allows a button to emulate pressing a touchscreen (like the sixaxis app) it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
