I figured with the Webtop-over-HDMI hack now up and running, why not try to get a console controller, other than the WiiRemote, working to play games on Android. Full screen PS emulator with a side of PS3 controller would be nice via Webtop.
As I've been reading, I keep hearing that that Android doesn't have a kernel to support BT pairing.
What do you guys think?
As far as pairing, it is possible. There is an app called BlueputDroid that is in early beta stages, but it works. It works as a touchpad/keyboard for the PS3.
I have read the same thing in regards to the bt stack not being compatible but I don't believe it. It would be great to control my ps3 dvd playback from my phone.

I think the original poster wanted the opposite of what you guys are replying about... he wants to use his bluetooth PS3 controller as a gaming controller to control games running on his Atrix.
Don't know if what you guys want is possible but I would think that would be a lot easier through a network interface than bluetooth... have you explored the DLNA tools? You should in theory be able to control the PS3 through DLNA commands.
Sorry for the threadjack.

This is correct. I work a desk job and emulators on my phone are what keep me from losing my mind. A PS3 controller is a preference, but a controller that works will suffice.

The WII remote works as seen in a couple videos. Could grab one of those, and you'd be good to go.
off topic, kinda, but would a 360 remote ever work with the Atrix?

This is what I got...its the retro controller for wii but it doesnt need to connect to a wiimote, and it works with the wiimote android app
http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Retro-Wireless-Controller-Nintendo/dp/B001ULJGDU
good luck finding one though, I had to import mine for like 40 bucks from codemasters, but that was a while ago.

The problem is not the kernel or BT stack.
Someone has to decrypt what the codes are that are sent on button press into an input method. (See WiiMote Controller apk for an example). On top of that, the app requires the ability to pull the pairing code from the ps3 controller and pair it using the existing BT stack.
But no one has created such an app at this time.
Once full-blown webtop linux (or at least repo access), the desktop pairing app can be used while in webtop mode (if such an app exists).

Just bumping this because I could have sworn that I saw a project to get the PS3 remote working on the Atrix. Am I just hoping and wishing or was there a project going on?
(yes, I've tried searching to no avail)
I would love to help and fulfill attempt to get the ps3 controller working with the atrix but have a few problems...
Never played a ps3 except in store demo lol which also leads to me not having a controller to even test. With that said, I need some info about the ps3 and the controller. Use bluetooth for connectivity? What is ps3 based off of? Linux......etc?
If based off linux or similar then I could give out a go. If not, then I can't help. Lastly, can someone link me to a ps3 os dump (or whatever it's called).

I've never delved much into the PS3 Homebrew and emulation scene mainly because it's security was clamped down on so hard. But with the recent cracks, I imagine their online communities are probably buzzing.
Wish I had some resources to share. I'd really LOVE to get a PS3 controller working with the Atrix!!!
Don't know how much it helps, but with the recent Ubuntu hack, I figure I'd share that QJoyPad may work. A simple Google search should find it.
I never had trouble pairing PS3 controllers with it. It even allowed me to toggle sensitivities of all of the axis, including L2/R2. Every button worked, even L3/R3.

This is an ancient thread, I know, but I've had this question for a while. I don't yet have an HDTV, so I cannot test this, but aside from Hero_Lief's suggestion above, I also ran into a program called QtSixA (http://http://qtsixa.sourceforge.net/) for Ubuntu, which is supposed to be able to pair a PS3 wireless remote with Ubuntu through Bluetooth 2.0 or higher. Has anyone tried this yet? If not, someone wanna give it a go? Whenever I get an HDTV, I'd really like to use my Atrix for some bigscreen emulation, but I won't be enticed without a proper controller. Thanks!
Has anyone given a thought about pulling the drivers or what ever from a honeycomb build? I've read somewhere that you can connect a ps3 controller to a xoom.

Has anyone found any good emulators for the 10.1? Most are made for phones so they're usually stretched. I'm looking for a good NES, SNES, and Sega Genesis emulators.
BTW, N64oid (N64 emulator) runs basically perfect on the Tab. Worth a download, though its a bit hard to use touch screen for "Z" and "R"
I'm fairly happy with SNESoid so far, although it's hard to find right now.

Ok, well, how exactly might one be able to connect a wii controller to the tab and use it for emulators?
Also, I've been trying SNESoid for about a day now and seems to play games well, however, I was just looking for designed for honeycomb (not just supported). Basically, I'm looking for a cleaner interface instead of pixelated buttons (I know its not really important). My other issue is the on-screen buttons are so close to the home/back, and clock buttons, i keep clicking them (this will be solved by using an external controller i suppose)

"Wiimote Control" app on Market.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnGNB3UnyAk
NOTE: Wiimote Control has issues with a lot of third-party Wii accessories. For example, I originally tried the Nyko Wand+ and it failed.
Also, if you have a USB host adapter (homemade or the official Samsung one which is finally in stock - I got mine today), a PS3 or Xbox360 wired controller, or any USB PC controller should work.

It may be due to how they were originally distributed...
ALL of them were paid apps for a while until most were pulled from the market. In the case of yongzh's stuff, there were open source license violations. In the case of psx4droid, it was Sony pressure.
N64oid might not have the same open source licensing issues that all of other yongzh's emulators had.
Im using snes9x ex and will great plus you can adjust the size of you game screen as u like and so much more. Its also compatible with wimote. If you need help there are video tutorials about wii mote on youtube it really helped me a lot. Configuring the keys was a little tricky at first but if you ever need help with that part just ask
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.
Hello! I was wondering if I could use my PS3 bluetooth controller without having to flash a AOSP rom.
The reason why I dont want to flash a AOSP rom is because I am trying to hook up my phone to the tv and use a controller at the same time and AOSP rom's do not support MHL HDMI out.
So im just looking for a way to use a wireless controller and plug it into hdmi at the same time. I would appreciate the help, thank you once again. XdaDevelopers has a really nice community and I would love to contribute more some day ^^

Yea. U can. Use either six axis or that Bluetooth IME or summin like that. U can use mhl to connect to ur tv then a Bluetooth controller
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using XDA App
Unfortunately, this is not fully true. Sense doesn't have the necessary bluetooth stack to accommodate wireless controllers like the Sixaxis or the Wiimote. The only way to get this working on the 3D would be to install Cyanogenmod, since it has the necessary bluetooth files. However, CM7 doesn't have MHL out working yet, so that's not really an option either.
Hopefully soon CM7 will get MHL working so we can make this happen.

No I meant there is an app which sets up Bluetooth remote controllers as a keyboard. It works. I tried it with my zeemote. But I just switched roms and u forgot to back it up. Now i can't remeber the name

If you can remember it, that would be awesome.
The program is bluez IME. It is free on the market. It works perfectly well on a stock ROM, so the above advice is wrong. That said, I've been using it to play games with my old Chainpus BGP-100 Bluetooth controller and I have no idea if it works with the Sony PS3 controller.
It works great to play games on my HD tv.

Bluez IME only works with four controllers unfortunately, and the wiimote and dualshock aren't compatible.

There is a unreleased apk of bluez that supports WiiMotes, however you do need a AOSP rom in order to make it work
That's because AOSP has the necessary Bluetooth stack for input devices, something that Sense based roms are lacking.

Does anyone know if there are some gamepads available for the x10 (like the game gripper for the milestone)?
I already looked around a bit but couldn't find anything usefull...
Google "OnLive" or "iControlPad". You can play on emulators with blueatooth keyboards too, there's a lot of them.
if you have a non integrated motion plus wii remote get the app from the market and see how it works on your phone..

I've been using my ps3 controller for months I love it. It works great via bluetooth. I'd recommend it
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.
