What controller are you guys using (i.e. emulators, Gameloft games)? Can one controller be used for all types?
Check this out... DO you think it will be any good?

Reviving an old thread... but after I saw that thing I just had to ask if anyone actually has and uses the sticky analogue stick thingie?
Imo it just looks funny and looks like it could mess with a screen protector (but an interesting idea nevertheless)
there is an app on the market that will let you pair wiimotes with any android device, much cheaper option for us folk that already own wii's
Aye, just read about it... setting it up with the free Wiimote applications right now
Do you know of any app that would also support the nunchuk?
Hi Guys,
As most of us have received the PS3 controller update for our Sony Tablet S.
I need suggestions for the remote controller, which one is best suited for PS games and other GAMELOFT, EA n other android games.
Options we have:
1. PS3 Controller.
2. Onlive Controller
3. Gametel Controller

PLEASE do not kill me, but I can confrm that Wiimotes work. Dunno if Accesoires like a classic controller work though, not yet tested it.
I only have ps3 one and it seems highly integrated with the tablet now - nice status bar icon, easy way to disconnect, connect both wired and wireless way, navigates through the home menu, etc. I tried ps3 controller with onlive app and it works but directional buttons need long press for some reason, not a big problem as left analog stick seems to replace this functionality, also i believe a,b,x,y keys are swapped in places and do not correspond their physical location on ps3 controller. This was based on a couple of minutes play with lego batman and batman city

thanks..
any variations in controllers dual shack, sixaxis..sry i never used these so no idea wat should I buy
ONE MORE THING: I am more inclined towards Gametel as it can be used with Xperia Arc as well and its size quite small??

If you haven't got PS3 and need to buy something I would not know which one is best. I paired the first original ps3 controller which is a bit lighter but doesn't have vibrations. Haven't yet tried the ones with vibrations and don't know if vibration itself is supported by any of the games so may as well save on the weight.
For onlive I suspect their universal controller would be better because of the labeling of button corresponding their setup plus extra recording etc buttons. You can recharge both controllers from the tablet I think, but onlive may accept regular batteries instead as well - at least their non unoversal does. Don't know how it pairs and navigates through home screens.
Double check if the other one you are considering pairs via Bluetooth for wireless option.

ohk, going to order ps3 then..
one more thing, do I need to buy the OTG USB Adapter from Sony? or anyone will work??
EDIT:
I just came out from Sony Store, i came to know that PS3 controller only works with PS games...I tried Real Football 11 n some other android games, none of them worked with PS3 controller.
Finally I am going for GAMETEL CONTROLLER.

that is not true I have used my ps3 controller on none playstation games and it works great
I don't know about real Android games, but got my cable today, works with PS1 games, emulators and the system itself. Like PS3 taker said, highly integrated
edit:
And as everyone should know, games should be programmed to work with gamepads in general
can u try Real Football, bike stunts n some other good titles like Samurai Vengeance, Asphalt6, Tank Hero, etc..
sent via awesome aRc (rooted 2.3.4)
Asphalt 6 is a no go. You can control the menus, but not the car. Samurai 2 is a no go too, you can run around, but the buttons arent mapped at all. Likewise with duke nukem and unfortunatly, Onlive. More recent games like Shadow gun and sonic cd work like a dream though
thats y m more inclined towards GAMETEL controller as it has been developed keeping in mind abt Android games, u can see the list of games supported by Gametel.
sent via awesome aRc (rooted 2.3.4)
Is the problem that these games don't offer controller support, I could see no reference to controller support in the menus for Real Football. I know Grand Theft Auto 3 is a game that supports controllers and the PS3 one works great with that.

Yup, Check the market place, it was free the other day. The controls aren't great though

I downloaded a patched version of onlive app from the onlive helper thread in xperia play forum on the third page there approximately and it works with ps3 controller but maping is slightly off. Square is a, triangle is b, dpad seems to only move after continues pressing but left analogue seems to replace dpad moves perfecty. I played lego batman with no problem and warhammer for bit and found both totally playable. I hope some repatches it properly

I'm pretty sure the controller has nothing to do with whether it is compatible or not, it's up to the game dev to add in the bluetooth controller features. But I don't know that from personal experience so I could be wrong . Some offer manual mappings as well for increased compatibility.
At the end of the day the general populous doesn't walk around with a bluetooth gamepad in their pocket, so unfortunatly it's something most devs don't support.
Did some searching around the forums and couldn't find a clear answer - is there any way to use an xbox 360 controller with my photon? Seemed like it might be possible using the HD dock (I realllly want to play gta using an xbox controller). Can anyone confirm or deny?
I somehow made mine work, was a hell of a process though. Ended up finding an app on my phone that would sync to my computer via wifi and see my controllers(plugged into my comp) signals and send them to the Photon. Cant recall name of app off top of head though..

Which version of Android are you using? I seem to remember one of the big features of ICS was native USB device support, so I'm curious if you still need third party apps for gamepads. I'd really like to see if I could use HDMI out and a 360 controller to turn my phone into a full fledged console.

Yeah forgot about that, I was on Cybiks CM7 at the time. On CM9 but haven't messed with trying it out on here since CM9
One guy in here bought the HD dock, and he said a generic controller from Radio Shack worked, but he didn't say about a 360 controller. I know that with the sixaxis app, you can use a PS3 controller, and it's amazing. What's cool about it is that it not only can play games like GTA and Shadowgun, which are designed to take physical keyboard inputs, but it can emulate screen touches. So you can play pretty much any game if you are willing to set up the touch profiles. Modern Combat 3 looks pretty good on my big screen, and game play is smooth once you get the controls you want.
I dropped the $50 on a PS3 controller just because I wanted to use it on my phone, I don't even own a PS3.

I have heard the Wiimote (Nintendo Wii remote) works as well. The common denominator here, with the PS3 Sixaxis controller, is Bluetooth, which our phones support (pretty much all of them do). The Xbox 360 controller uses another kind of wireless, or USB as a peripheral, and phone support for that (without the dock) is far less. I'm considering getting a PS3 controller as well. Screen controls are okay for some emulated games. I beat Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (GBA) on my phone, but I tried a couple Mario games and it was laughably bad.
(Running an Electrify, BTW... should be the same minus 4G.)
Hi,
Just picked myself up a 16GB Tablet Z-£315 in the airport in Australia, thanks very much!!
Loving it so far, after returning a Nexus 10 with a dodgy screen.
One big reason for me to keep it stock and not unlock the bootloader and flash AOSP or CM10.1 is the built in dual shock support.
Well I've just purchased a Dualshock 3 controller and paired it up and I've got to say/ask, how crap is this?? I'm seriously disappointed, it seems like none of the games I have work with it:
Delver:can move with left analogue stick, can rotate left and right with UP and DOWN on the right stick, can't attack.
Minecraft: Doesn't work.
Pixel Dungeon: Doesn't work.
Bridge Constructor: Doesn't work.
Lode Runner: Doesn't work.
Etc...
Particularly disappointed with Minecraft-on Nexus 10 framerate was like crap-works perfectly on Tablet Z but the onscreen controls just kill my RSI riddled hands and forearms, this version of the game would be so f&&king sweet with a PS3 controller on this screen.
Is there any knack to getting the controller to work? Does the rooted Sixaxis app work better than the 'built in dualshock' support? Do any games at all work with PS3 controller?
Thanks.
I was a little disappointed that more games didn't work with the controller natively myself, these are the games that I've tested that do work though: GTA vice city, dead trigger, shadowgun, and snesoid for SNES emulation. If anyone else has been using the controller successfully feel free to share

I'm not sure the list is correct. For instance, I downloaded Temple Run (which is on that list) just for the sake of seeing if the controller worked with it, and it does not.

I've only used Shadowgun which was pretty good with a controller. If you look further down the list, he didn't link to Temple Run and also there was a Sony site linked that was a store of supported controller games.
I've purchased Another World and already own GTA 3, both work a treat with PS3 controller. Just a shame that Minecraft doesn't work!! Dammit
I think for now only game available on Playstation Mobile app (or Playnow) are compatible with DS3.
I don't know if the offer is still valable on Xperia Privilege app with 25euro gift, if yes use it to buy from PS Store.
Mega Blast work wirelessly.
edit : didn't see comment above before posting.
What OTG cable did you guys use? I bought a 4-pack from amazon and none of them worked

Works with my Nexus 7 for mass storage and worked with Tablet Z to pair dual shock 3 controller.
LOVE this feature.
I use it for SNES emulators. Just had to map the buttons once, and it works flawlessly.
More Play store apps need to support controllers though, definitely.

What SNES emulator do you prefer?
I use snesoid but that's just because its what I've always used. It gets the job done and have never had a reason to check out any other emulators.
Such a shame they switched the upper left row of buttons with the lower right one, GTA 3 is kind of hard to play in this way. I'm using an SGP321 on .253 though so maybe it's fixed in .307?
Not sure if posting in the right place but I don have an issue or a idea for better knowledge. Got this Trasformer Prime ,and as I don;t have a Pc (for now) I;m doing gaming on it,FPS for the most, but as a Pc gamer it's difficult for me to use the sticks of my Xbox 360 controller ,so I digg it around the web and found those Mouse Converters,like Aimon Xb Elite and Frag Fx shark 360,and I was wondering... if those works on consoles ,They should work on Android too right? After all I;m currently using an Xbox 360 controller to play games... So can anyone give me a clue about this? Is it worth it? Thanks!
