Which game controller do you recommend? I'm mainly looking to use it on my tab for emulators and whatever android games are compatible with a controller.
I was looking at a sixaxis just because it looks like it can connect wirelessly with the app but I'd be willing to buy a USB connector and flash a kernel to make a controller compatible. Also I don't know if the dual shock 3 controller works with the sixaxis app. (I'm not sure if that's an entirely different thing)
I guess I'm mainly wondering which controller is most compatible, meaning full joy stick control and things like that.
Thanks if you can help me out!
I'm currently using my PS3 controller with the new Sixaxis App from the store. All you need is Root access and to pair your PS3 controller with a PC to tell it what your tablets Bluetooth MAC address is and it should work. I've been using it ever since with all my emulators and it works like it's supposed to.
There is also an app from the same dev to test if the controller works with your device but if its a GT 10.1 and a regular PS3 controller there shouldn't be an issue.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
If not I'm probably going to grab a sixaxis but I want to be sure I'm getting the best since I'm not tied down to a controller for a console I already own.
Thanks
There is already another Q & A thread started by me from a while ago where some people listed a few alternatives. Just search the Q & A forum or check the first few pages and you will find the thread. Since I already own a PS3 and the other controllers aren't that available in my country it was an easy choice for me. Hope that helps.
Well, first off, let me introduce myself, i used to be a apple user since the ipod nano 1g(got ipod touch 1st gen, iphone 2g, 3g, 3gs, 4, ipad 1, etc) but afer buying the galaxy S2, there is no turning back...Simply amazing hahah
Well, my idea is:
I can play using sixaxis controller on some games like emulators, etc...
BUT
What if we find a way to make Xperia optimized games to run on our galaxy s2 and achieve a way to map his buttons? We can build a dock on top of a play3 controller and we will have a homemade galaxy play haha
Just a idea, i dont have any knowledge regarding android systems...Would be great someone to shine a light on this...
Thanks in advance and sorry for my brazilian english hehe =)
uhmmm, most of the xperia play games can already be played on the sgs2 and even more cool games can be played on it that d not run on the play.
so i assume that there is hardly any common need for your request
I think playing is a lot better with REAL buttons than in screen gestures...I think you didnt read or just ignored what i said...
Anyway, Sixaxis got a upgrade and now its possible to map touchscreen gestures to the controller...one of the best apps ive ever bought...
But i'm still interested in what i'm saying...its not as accurate as xperia play...
you mean you want to play games on the sgs2 4,3" screen using a normal sixaxis controller?
Buy the sixaxis controller on the market, it let's you replace de touchscreen buttons by the buttons on your sixaxis controller, you just need to make a profile to every game you need, it even let's you give a button the swipe move, its a great feature

Really? Now read my second post.
@Topic
I'm willing to donate to whoever does this kind of port properly...
Dude I don't really understand what you mean.
Those ganes can already be played as the other guy said, and you can connect a sixaxis controller via bluetooth so what do you mean? You want the sixaxis wired into the phone permanently? What's the point? -it's be massive.
Just make a sixaxis game gripper out of thermal setting plastic or something ;p
Ohhhh I now see what you mean, I've been looking for a way to map sixaxis buttons to play buttons..
That way the buttons would work a lot better and you wouldn't need to coonstantly alter the keymap for different games..
In the sixaxis controller key settings it does have buttons like l2 and r2 but I don't know why, haven't tried them because the other buttons like square, circle etc aren't there.....
Your statement about the xperia games being playable on other android devices is false. That's what he means. I just downloaded a fighting game that was designed for the play, onto my infuse 4g and it recognizes nothing when I touch the screen. This is his idea. To get the sixaxis to work for these games in particular. If I'm wrong please say so. But so far as i can tell there are some games that are xperia play only, and those are the games he is talking about.
Hi fellas
I bought this app, a few bucks only -I read you can use it to enable mouse & WASD keys on dock to play games.
Problem is, I cannot for the life of me get this to work. I've read lots of threads here on XDA, other web snippets, no luck. I even emailed the developers, no reply
I'm interested in using my dock and mouse to play FPS games. Can a good samaritan point me to a published guide tutorial, or maybe you have first -hand experience to share ... thanks in advance.
The streamer works great. I paired a sixaxis and ran a game, the only thing that worked is the dpad. I thought most applications should recognize the controller as a standard HID, any idea how to get it to get along with Splashtop?
I don't have much experience with the app and there are numerous different editions and paid extensions for it.

You can use the native Ps3 controler support instead
I have no idea how to help you outside of this, i suggest tinkering with stuffs and if you cant figure it out then perhaps someone who knows can help
Thanks for the reply. I should have clarified that I am using the native support and not the sixaxis app . I am sure the sixaxis app will provide more features but it doesn't seem like an elegant solution considering stock capabilities.
Wassup Folks,
I wanna buy an optional bluetooth game controller on amazon (or somewhere else) in order to play a few games on my phone..
Sadly not every app supports a native controller support, that means even if I would connect a controller normally through bluetooth, I would not be able to actually push a button, use a D-Pad, etc.
Someone there, who already rooted his device and used something like Sixaxis in order to achieve this? I'd appreciate if someone of you would give me feedback, I am playing with the thought to make a few reviews here (I don't know if Android 10 is appropirate enough in order to use third-partys app for game controller links and touch emulation through super user rights).
