Reports say a new update is out allowing for gameplay on both screens, with the controls at the bottom screen. I updated the app and can’t seem to get it to work. Anyone had luck with this? With what games? Most say I need to pair an xbox controller and the touch screen games I tried didn’t utilize both screens. Thanks for any help.

I figured this out. Just in case someone else runs across this "issue". Before you start the game, drag the app xbox game pass to the center so it fills the fullscreen. touch enabled games then display the controls on the lower screen.

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.
I just recently came across this great new app in Android Marketplace called BT Controller. This is a free app. It's fairly new but I've confirmed it works very well. This app allows you to turn any Android device, whether your phone or the Prime itself. You install this app on both devices. Then you run them both at the same time. Both devices will prompt you to cut on BT. If devices already been connected before then the rest is easy. If not, then follow the usual methods of connecting or the marketplace description for app has instructions to easily do it. After that you press Connect on either device. it'll prompt both screens and ask which one you want to be Host(emulator or whatever) and other one the controller. once you choose one for a device, the other will automatically choose the remaining option. So lets say for example you have prime as the Host and phone as controller. Your phone screen will change to a controller. The Prime will have a box up the top right with 2 checkbox options in them. One is to configure input method. this is to select the BT controller to even be an option to use. Then the next box, when you click it, will actually allow you to select BT Controller as the keyboard input method.
After that then you good to go. I found that the phone actually controls the homescreens also. allows you to scroll through the apps or homescreens. if you press start on phone it'll bring up all your apps. Haven't figured out how tl confirm choices yet in homescreens with controller. Anyways, go to the emulator you want to run. Snesoid for example. to to options in there. cut off the touch display controls. then go to map hardware or custom buttons. then just match up the phone controller inputs to the one on emulator by pressing corresponding input. After that start the game and you good to go. The marketplace description has list of known working emulators or games. There might be more but haven't been found out yet.
I've only tried this so far with Snesoid and it plays very well. no lag at all. Now the prime just looks like a high definition monitor and you using your phone as the controller. Its pretty cool how it connects like that. I will try out my other games that have support for external or wireless controller n see how this fares. I have a good feeling it will work. I'm hoping this might be a temporary solution to playing more Onlive Games that don't have touch controls for it yet. Since this is seen as a BT controller on the Prime. I could easily map the buttons to whatever. so wish me luck..lol
I just wanted to let those know that there's another option to having a wireless controller if your haven't bought a physical one yet. Being able to use your phone as the controller is cool and works very well with this app. Sorry for the wall of txt but wanted to cover the description of app and how to set it up. ENJOY here's the link below

Ads in the notification bar... no thanks. I fully support a need for devs to get paid but those ads are no good in my opinion.

I have the free version and haven't seen any ads yet..lol they also have an ad free version.
plus I just confirmed this works great with Snesoid, Genesoid, FPse, and Riptide GP THD. This also works as an external controller on Onlive, to an extent. Any game that uses regular direction pad will work. those that use analog stick only won't work. Like I couldn't move in Batman Markham Asylum because its only mapped to analog sticks. the buttons worked though. Then I tried the new Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade edition. That worked great with the controller. it uses directional pad. so without my phone as external BT controller, I wouldn't of been able to play it. Couldn't get it tl work with N64oid though. trying to map the buttons came up unknown on controller setup. Still more games tl test out but this is pretty cool though.
Hello dear forum members, I have an issue playing Nova3 with a PS3 controller. I recently bought a dualshock3 controller, downloaded a touch profile for nova 3 (Which works perfectly btw) and I've ran across an issue I haven't found on google or any of the search functions. Sorry if it's out there, I just can't find it.
Whenever I use the sticks to move around and move the camera, and at the same time do something else, like reloading, shooting, or focusing , one of these 'Buttons' gets stuck. For example, the gun keeps firing, I can't stop it. Or the movement button gets stuck, or the camera just keeps spinning.
It only happens when pressing multiple buttons on the PS3 gamepad, and it can only be resolved by moving the analog sticks like you have a mental disability and smashing every button on the joystick.
It is very frustrating when you're in an online match and your movement keeps spinning or your ammo drains out simply because the buttons get stuck.
I would very much appreciate all the help I can get on this.
I have not played any other game with the controller yet, so I cannot confirm if it's game related or controller app related.
I am sure I have some kind of setting set wrong. This happens with multiple touch profiles by the way, and does not happen if you use the touchscreen.
So I've got my dualshock 3 paired up to my tablet z using the inbuilt application but there does not seem to be a way to configure the buttons.
I;ve tried dead trigger and shadowgun so far, the left analogue is for moving and right for looking around which is about right. but then none of the buttons or triggers does anything else. I can't fire, reload, change weapons etc. anyone have any idea how to get this working?

I have found the same. For instance, in GTAIV, reverse is "X" and drive is the square button.
Works on connected via wire, but seems to drop off and not work wireless. Fun though

I found that some games actually have built in support for controllers and allows you to configure the button layout in the game's options.
(dead trigger, shadowgun)
but others don't (modern combat 4)
need for speed doesn't seem to have controller support either.
I've got a bigger problem. XZ tablet won't recognize my two dualshocks, yet it works on rooted XZ. Any ideas?
My wifi speed drops significantly when dualshock controller is on
what's the likelihood of being able to emulate an arcade light gun game, for example point blank, on the nvidia shield tv, using a wiimote as a controller?
does anyone have the means to try this?

I have tried so many ways to make this work. The only app that ever kind of worked was USB/BT Joystick Center Gold. I was able to use that on an older Minix I was using to play games on my TV. It worked well, but I haven't been able to find a way to make it work with the SATV. I have installed the app on my SATV and I am rooted, but it says it can't find "uinput /dev" and so it won't work.
I have looked into the mayflash dolphinbar, https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-W01...474996745&sr=8-1&keywords=mayflash+dolphinbar
I actually emailed them and asked if there was a way to make IR input work as a touch mouse on android, and they said it didn't have that functionality, but if I knew a developer who could point them in the right direction, they would build it in. Unfortunately I don't know anyone. Dolphin emulator achieved some level of wiimote functionality in the emulator, but it was only in the dolphin emulator, not system wide, and I am not even sure if they had the IR working, I think it was just the wii buttons.
I have tried everything, but I haven't had any success. If you stumble on something, please let me know. I used to be able to play TimeCrisis from PSXE, there were a number of android games that worked well with it too, like Major Mayhem. It would be awesome to get a wiimote working as an IR mouse on our SATV.
Possible solution
If anyone is interested in this, there is a product on kickstarter that may solve the problem. Right now Android support is on the road map, which all know means it may never come. But, it's definitely worth keeping an eye on!
Search for the Sinden Lightgun. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sindenlightgun/the-sinden-lightgun/description
Mame is definitely a lost cause and the wiimote in general via Android. In theory I think the most plausible way would be by using the dolphinbar as a mouse pointer. I played around with all this a few years ago and the only joy I had was gamestreaming the PC version of dolphin with the dolphinbar attached to the PC. I found the gun was terrible unless you were 3 metres away from the screen minimum. However if you can get this set up it works perfectly and can enjoy games like House of the Dead, Goldeneye Wii, Dead Space whatever it's called etc.
