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?

Thanks. Perhaps this should be moved to Prime accessories.
Are these controllers supported natively, or is it necessary to use 3rd party apps to connect to them?

I get the list of controllers from .15 firmware, so they supported natively.
But alsow game must fully support games controller.
Some times, not all buttons works. For example only moves or fire and jump button,
etc
I have a wired Xbox 360 controller I used with mine (requires keyboard) and it works incredibly well - if the software supports it. You can navigate the home screens easily, just like the touchpad. But, game support is dependent on the game, not OS. For example, Shine Runners works very well, but Dungeon Defenders doesn't see it.
The nVidia marketplace does a good job of specifying controller support.
Hey I'm a noob. How do I pair the PS3 remote with the Prime?

Just plagin PS3 remote to the dock
just tried my iControlPad, works with bluez ime app from market (free) and any ''oid'' emulatore (snesoid, gameboid, etc) have not tried other setups
I meed to get a dock n USB controller or a BT controller. these ps1 games is killing me with touch screen controls. I got final doom, quake 2, R-type Delta, Marvel vs. Capcom, XMen vs. Street Fighter, and Einhander all on my prime. they look n play great with the gpu plugin. now I need a damn controller. Hard to play some of those with touchscreen..lol
which one is the one you can buy at Gamestop that's said to work with prime?
the motorola bluetooth keyboard (the one styled after the xoom) work like a dream, shortcut keys, home/back, its one of the less expensive and well made bluetooth android oriented keyboards, and it has function keys for use with a pc as well, well worth the 45$ i paid for it.

Can you give me a link on that controller (iControlPad)?
demandarin there's no answer yet, only testing
Hi,
I tried to connect my WiiMotes.
Even though it suggests the codes 0000 and 1234 ,neither seems to do the trick.
Any help would be appreciated.
I've been using the GameStop branded controller. The system seems to treat it as a bluetooth keyboard. If you launch a notepad type app, you can see what buttons map to which keys. But it seems to work to some degree at least in those apps that nvidia labels as "controller" supported.
I think this is already known but the Sixaxis PS3 controller works without any 3rd party apps.
Just plug it in via USB then turn on bluetooth. From then on it is paired and will work without needing USB.

Hi, you may buy this one
Anyone able to get the right analog sticks on any brand of controller to properly register with emulators (such as N64oid, SNESoid, Gensoid etc.)?
PS3 won't, either hooked up native or through a third-party such as SixAxis Controller. Therefore I'm wondering if any others will, or if it's an issue that will be present regardless.

N64oid only looks for analog input from the left analog stick and ignores the right analog completely. In order to get the C-buttons working, you can use the Sixaxis app in native gamepad mode, disable the 'Right Analog x-axis' and 'Right Analog y-axis', then use the keyboard emulation to configure the right analog stick as digital button presses (you must also have your IME set to Sixaxis Controller). Most other emulators don't use analog, so you can just use the keyboard emulation exclusively.
Hey guys, if you have the sixaxis app from the google play store you know that it allows you to map your own buttons to the specific area on the screen if you're playing a game that doesn't support native controllers. There is a new site which you can download pre configured button maps, here is a quote from the site:
There is this really great outfit called Dancing Pixel Studios that created this really awesome app called SixAxis Controller which can tether your PS3 controller to an android device (yes, your Playstation 3™ controller to your phone or tablet)! Well, this application uses Profiles which are used for seperate games – it can be difficult to track down profiles or make your own. Well no longer!

There is no subsection for the Xperia S yet, but I think as more people join, a subsection will be created soon
I've tried a few profiles from the Galaxy Nexus section (MC3, Nova 2), but i've needed to tweak it a bit to make it work. Note that the other games don't need profiles because the game recognises the PS3 controller it as a native controller

There is a thread here on XDA as well with exactly the same thing. I have been using a couple of those profiles, namely the MW3 one. Works well. :good:
I have this idea and I would like to know if it is possible to work. I'm thinking of buying an Android TV media box and hook it up to my TV. Then the plan is to connect 2 game controllers and play games with emulation programs. Will this work? If yes, do all emulator apps work perfect with controllers?

I'm not sure how much research you've done on this already, so I'll cover the basics.
You will need to use either a USB OTG to connect the controller with a cable, or be rooted and use the SixAxis app to connect using the PS3 Bluetooth system.
The last time I used the SixAxis app, it wasn't compatible with Android 5.0. Check this out first before purchasing.

The other guy is right, get an OTG cable if you aren't rooted, or you can go wireless and use the SixAxis app. I use the SixAxis app(I'm rooted) and it works flawlessly on 5.0.1. If you go to Gamepad Settings and pick that you want the PS3 controller to be read as a gamepad, it even works natively with the shield tablet, the buttons are mapped on the controller as they are with the shield controller, and when you launch games, it acts like you have a shield controller setup! You can even do the hold-start-to-open-button-mapping with the PS3 controller!
Thanks you very much! Can you confirm me that all games are compatible? Or there is one that have any problem...?

All games that are compatible with the shield controller is compatible, because like I said, when you connect the PS3 controller, the system acts like you just connected an nvidia shield controller. For games that don't have gamepad compatibility, you can hold the start button to bring up an on screen button mapper and place buttons and joysticks in the locations you want.
Excelent! I will buy it

For NVidia Game Mapper, the game you are trying to set up controller maps for must at least have some sort of native controller code implemented.
For example, there are some pinball games that I tried to create a game map for using the Game Mapper. The button assignments would not work. At all.
In some ways, the NVidia Controller is limited by the Nvidia Gamepad Software. Which is a real shame, because the Shield Controller is a great piece of hardware.
If you are using SixAxis, you can set the app to treat all connected PS3 controllers as "Native Controllers".
You can also set up both a touch profile and use the native controller features already included in some games (this is referred to as "hybrid controller mode"). For example, Zen Pinball HD has basic native controller support implemented. But it doesn't have analog plunge for the ball launch. You can set up just the Right Analog Stick as a touch profile, and use the native features to control everything else.

...I provided a "long, drawn out" answer. For someone not used to SixAxis and the powerful options it offers for game mapping (hybrid mode/native controller mode) it is long, drawn out info like this that will allow folks to get the most out of the app.
I also don't feel I repeated your information. I added specific information relating to SixAxis features that your two posts didn't contain.
Sorry to bother you guys but I'm looking for a way to use a gamepad without spending 70 euros on Nvidia's right now. So to see if I got what you said before right, if I'm rooted and install SixAxis I can use a PS3 controller as if it were an Nvidia controller with the device?
Just to clarify your understanding... you DO NOT have to root the device. You only need to root it if you want to use it wirelessly. You can use a USB OTG(which is a few $/€ on amazon) without rooting your device and plug it in directly.

I have an OTG cable and I tried plugging it in this way, it works but the mapping isn't very good, for example Mimpy which is also supposed to be Tegra optimized doesn't work, I can go back and forth with the left joystick (or the arrows) but I can't use the other side of the gamepad to jump as I should. If I connect it wirelessly and use SixAxis does the mapping resemble Nvidia's own gamepad or will I still have the same issues?
