I picked up very simple usb gamepad (stealseries 1gc) since my usb mouse and kb worked with zero configuration. I was looking for an alternative to the pricey wii controller, and something a bit smaller than a usb keyboard. Unfortunately it did not function out of the box.
Does anyone have any recommendations to get it working? What should I try or do? are there any non market apps that may get this working?
EDIT:
I can imagine that something could be rigged up since this guy did it.

We already have a USB port to accesss.... the question or problem is support for other than thumb drive or key board.....nothing else seems to be suppported including mice and game pads......
i think it might be lost effort trying to figure it out. i thought it might instantly be recognized as HID. My wireless (RF not BT) microsoft mouse worked without any modification, though i didnt see the point to using a mouse.
USB Gamepad Drivers?

This doesn't work, but I wish it did
Instead of starting a new topic, I thought I'd just post here and ask if anyone's had any luck in this regard. This device is so unbelievably ripe for emulation, and its a total shame that even with a standard USB port, no one has figured out how to use a gamepad yet.
I've got a bluetooth gamepad with 6 buttons, the BGP100. Unfortunately, you need to buy a $10 driver from the market (MMG Gamepro). After all that, I'm playing Street Fighter II and NBA Jam TE like it's 1996
There's another thread regarding the use of Wii controllers via bluetooth. I was able to get the two Datel Retro Wireless Wii controllers off ebay for $26 (I got lucky).
PlayStation controller with a PlayStation to USB adapter
Hi I am a first time poster here, so I hope this gets to the right place.
I use the loox 720 pocket PC with USB host and a PlayStation controller with a PlayStation to USB adapter.
For a drivers I use hidgamep.dll. Copy it to your Pocket PC's Windows folder and enter the following to your registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\HID\LoadClients\Default \Default\1_5\gamepad "DLL"="hidgamep.dll"
OR [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\HID\LoadClients\Default\Default\Default\Gamepad] "DLL"="hidgamep.dll"
if it did not work. But, any unknow HID device pluged in will try use the hidgamep.dll. It´s not problem for me and it´s working fine!
and I use Mobiion MagiKB Lite v1.1 - http://www.mobiion.com/magikblite.html to change the button commands so like when I was playing super mario bros.gun 2 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556557 I change the "X" button to "up" and the "O" to the "space bar". But for the most part I use the controller as a media remote for the core player or windows media player ...
I use Zeno USB Host Drivers 2011 v1.0 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...url
for everything else
PS
I hope this helps
I just got my USB OTG cable and I wanted to hook in a controller so I can use it for emulators. The PS3 controller doesn't seem to be recognized. Anyone know of any solutions?

Sixaxis controller app on the market will allow ps3 controller through bluetooth. Works great.
I voided my warranty and your mum.

When I tried the App, it stated that I didn't have the right protocol. Hence why I am looking for another option.
Did you do the other part on the computer?

Of course, that's not the problem, the problem is the Bluetooth Stack on the SGSII AT&T apparently doesn't support the needed protocol. This also was confirmed on their site where they said there was an inability to use it with newer Samsung Devices.
You need to be running CM7 of Muiu, which use the working bluetooth stack.

I'm running Cognition right now, I'll try to see about splicing in CM7's Bluetooth Stack then, though I've heard mixed things about CM7's Stack working properly in terms of displaying Track Names over Bluetooth.
Woah.. Call me a noob, but it's possible to plug USB controllers into our phones for games!? THAT'S AWESOME. Definitely going to watch this thread for more info.
Afaik, no. But i could be wrong. Has it been done with a powered hub?

It can be done with Honeycomb 3.1 I thought when they announced it a future update (anything past 2.3.3 I thought) was going to include it for Gingerbread, looks like we just have to wait for ICS
TBH the idea of a wireless controller is more attractive to me anyway. A PS3 controller can be combined with a market app to do the job? If so, would it be able to function as the input device for, say, NES/SNES emulators?

Yes, typically you can remap the buttons and do such. Since I have been unable to do such, I'm trying to track down a bluetooth gamepad that I could use with my device that isn't a PS3 controller. There are some on the market, just trying to find the best option.

Have you confirmed that the OTG cable is working for more "common" stuff?
The PS3 controller isn't a fully standard HID device, so requires a special kernel driver to work. I'll try to whip up a test kernel for you to try in a day or two.
FYI, in addition to the kernel support issue you may be subject to the same limitations as PS3 controllers on the Tab 10.1 - the PS3 controller MUST be fully charged prior to connection or it'll try to charge and trigger an overcurrent trip.

It's next to impossible to do stack-splicing between CM7/MIUI and Samsung stock ROMs. I've never seen it done.
OTG Connects a Keyboard and USB Flash Drives. I tested it with a WD 500GB desktop drive also, works well.
I can say that the PS3 controller works great with the EEE Pad when it is plugged in, no Bluetooth support in Honeycomb. Though once ICS comes out, we should have native Gamepad support through USB then. That's going to be a glorious day.

For what it's worth, I went ahead and got a DualShock 3 controller, the Sixaxis Controller app, and SNesoid/N64oid. After initial configuration they all work extremely well together, allowing some good on-the-go gaming. Now I'll finally have something to do on long car rides or between classes. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
Note: I am running Cyanogenmod 7, which avoids the problem described here.
I just tried it with my PS3 controller. Works extremely well.
- First use the compatibility app to get a MAC address looking string, write it down somewhere.
- Then go on your computer, browse to dancing studio website and download the driver install app.
- While the driver install app is running, plug the PS3 controller into your PC, Windows 7 actually told me something like the driver has not been approved with MS, ignore it and proceed.
- Type the MAC address that you've obtained in step 1, and update the controller
- Download the Sixaxis app from marketplace for $1.79. Run it. Turn on your PS3 controller. Everything should be detected and it will ask to turn on Sixaxis Input method.
- Open up SNESdroid, map buttons, enjoy AWESOME gaming.
edit: I'm on Entropy's completely stock rom, but rooted of course.

Will this work with a normal stock without root? Thanks
hi brought an otg cable for my i777 and i can't get it to recognize my phone even with a power usb hub any help please using shostock rom 2.2.6
I was able to get a Playstation(2) USB controller adapter to work with an OTG cable in one of the ICS leaks. Also was able to get an original Xbox controller to work. But, since the leaks were found to be brick-happy, I've switched to AOKP with the Siyah kernel. The kernel works with keyboards and mice with OTG, but not game controllers yet, and the bluetooth stack isn't capable of connecting to a PS3 controller or Wiimote currently with CM-based ICS.
Hello,
I am a kind-of-advanced Android user. I know my way well around the os, but i'm not a programmer of any kind.
I recently bought a fairly cheap Yarvik tab (TAB264) running ICS 4.0.3. with a USB host and so far it has nothing else than impressed me !
What i'm trying to do is connect a game controller via USB to play games in emulators. I have a authentic PS3 controller with usb cable and an Xbox controller for the PC, with a USB dingle for wireless connection to the pc / tablet. I do not have bluetooth on my device, but i do have a bluetooth dongle. However, this is not plug and play. If i plug in a keyboard, mouse of mass storage device the tablet will recognise it. With a bluetooth stick this is not the case. I have seen serveral video's where people just plug in their xbox controller and it works, they only have to map the keys in to emulator and they are good to go. In my case, as with the bluetooth dongle, it is like its not recognised.
Is there a way to download drivers for either one controllers, universal controller support or the bluetooth stick ?
in short:
- Can i use the PS3 controller via usb ?
- Can i use to Xbox controlle via usb ?
- Can i install drivers for the bluetooth stick so i can use the ps3 controller wireless (whis would be awesome since bluetooth would be nice)
I hope for a fast response thanks in advance !

I read somewhere that XDA has a special developed driver in case the XboX controller doens't work. I searched the forum, but i cant find it.
Link, andybody ?
Anybody, options, please ?
Really, no one ?
I hope someone with more knowledge on this setup can help me out. I would ask in the JellyBam thread but I don't have enough street cred yet.
I purchased a PS3 controller and the GameKlip with the male-to-male USB adapter. I have been able to successfully pair the controller over Bluetooth with the Sixaxis app from the Play store. I would also like to use the USB cable because when paired with the app, you can't pair any other device, like my Bluetooth headset. I would also assume the USB would conserve battery on both devices.
The USB connection works randomly... so i know it's not a complete waste of time trying to get it to work.
The issue to fix is why the connection is random. My thoughts are maybe something with the Kernel that comes with JellyBam, I could try a different one, or an app that will configure the USB state to more reliably keep the controller connected.
When the controller does work it is after a random number of times connecting and disconnecting the USB cable and pressing the "P" power button on the PS3 controller. When it does connect it will highlight an icon on my home screen and I can move the selection around with the joystick. It seems to disconnect as soon as I touch the screen or enter anther app. I have to go though the process of plugging and unplugging again to get it to work after the disconnect.
Another note, this same setup seems to work on my wifes i777 with an older (ICS) AOKP build. I have seen in some of my searching that JB doesn't have the same support for USB configurations as ICS. I would hate to go back to ICS just to get this working... but that may be my only option.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post and please share any information you have!
Well, I was trying to use OTG on this tablet, keyboard and mouse works great connecting via USB with a Type-C adapter.
But when connecting a Logitech controller it receives power (I can turn mode on/off and the light goes on/off) but the tablet doesn't recognize, for example when I go to the Stadia app nothing appears as connected, but on my OnePlus phones works fine.
I was searching and it may be a problems with permissions, is a root really necessary and is it even worth it? What do you think?
Hi Jota, did you ever figure out the Logitech and also does this model have otg video out to HDMI cable? Trying to confirm that feature before I buy it. many thanks!
