Games with Native Gamepad Support - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Just recently purchased a PS3 controller after sir_earl was able to emulate native gamepad support in his Sixaxis app. After using it very successfully with my Prime, I find that I am pretty much only playing games with gamepad support. Currently I rotate back and forth between GTA III, Shadowgun THD, Riptide GP, and Cordy. How about anyone else? Please list any and all games with native gamepad support. Also, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong, if a game has Xperia Play support then it will also respond as if it has the same aforementioned gamepad support. And if a mod deems it worthy enough I could see this being pinned at the top. I promise to have it nicely formatted.
I would like to keep this list to only games people have actually tested in person. Thanks.

You can add Sleepy Jack and Shine Runner to that list. I've also been looking around for games that have native gamepad support. Some work, but not very well.

---

Sonic CD works great with gamepad.

---

Both are working with Gamepad
Reckless Racing HD (polarbit)
Reckless Racing 2 (polarbit)

---

Basically any good emulator will have gamepad support. I still use the oid series but finding them troublesome on 4.0. Fpse is an obvious choice for a sixaxis controller as well.

---

If you can map your gamepad buttons to android keyboard input there's a lot of games you're able to control. For example many work with the xperia play layout. e.g. Sonic 4 Episode 1. Also the non tegra version of Samurai II works this way.
Then for other games like Zenonia series, there is a specific layout, that can be found in the web.
I was really hoping gameloft would jump on this sooner or later. Their games suffer the most from touch only controls imho. They screem for gamepad support^^

---

Somewhat a pity that you cannot use Gamepads on the Riptide GP Demo. As in "test if your controller is compatible before purchasing".

---

Along with this can we also get a list of emulators?

If you're willing to do a short write up that is easy and clear to understand, I would love to host/format it and add it to the list under an appropriate header.

Sure thing. The only emulator I've used so far is N64oid, which requires a touch profile in Sixaxis and therefore doesn't meet the standards this list requires. Remember though, I only want to add games/emulators that have actually been tested and verified to work natively, no workarounds.

It really is a well done game. I was hesitant at first because racing games in general have never been my thing, but then I saw it was done by the same people who made Hydro Thunder, and I used to play the hell out of that game in the arcades growing up.
What controller are you trying to use with it?

The emulator scene on the Android Market seems to be fairly fluid. Sometimes a bunch of them get taken down, and other replace them. Just search in the market and go for the highest ranked one for the emulator du jour.

Hey, I must've glossed over this the first time around. Looking at its reviews on the Market, it seems like people have been having compatibility and controller issues with ICS?

Sonic episode one works. The d pad and the r3 to jump.

R3? As in clicking in the right analog stick? That's upsetting. It would obviously be way better if it were one of the four main buttons. Oh well. I know Muffin Knight has sort of worked for me, and similar to Sonic's R3 it uses the "Up" button to jump instead of a face button. I ended up making a touch profile because it just works better.
I'll add it to the list though. I guess that means Sonic 4 works as well?

Jett Tailfin Racers THD came out today. I've had my eye on this one in the Tegra Market since January as it promised Mario Kart-style play with native controller support. Haven't heard any opinions on it yet though.

---

this thread is now linked in my sticky thread. The Official Tegra3/Prime Gamer's Thread. help the op build up this list if games you come across meet guidelines in his op. this lists, especially mines, aren't easy to put together. I only use the prime tablet itself for my list. very long sessions of copy n paste..lol. my dock will be here soon though.

Personal testing has shown me that both recently released Canabalt HD and Gunman Clive have full native gamepad support.
However, the two games are listed as only having specifically Xperia Play Optimization/Support (though Gunman Clive says it has support for other input methods, but doesn't list them). Gunman Clive, in particular, has an options screen similar to Shadowgun THD where you edit the controls by clicking on whichever gamepad button you prefer to use. Very nice.
What I would like to take away from this is that Xperia Play Optimization means native gamepad support exists to some extent. It may not be full support, however, so I would categorize it along with Muffin Knight if the implementation is not ideal. Please test any Xperia Play Optimized games you might already have with your controller and let me know the results. Thanks.

Alright folks, I spent my afternoon installing and testing games. All tested using a ps3 controller (and yes, I have an app purchasing problem. As far as vices go, it could be worse). If I get time over the weekend, I'll try some more games.
Full Support
Eve of Genesis HD: Yes, Square works as the confirm button, L1 pulls up the menu. Works well.
Edge: Yes!
Edge Extended: Yes!
Overkill: Yes, you might have to disable the back key in the options, though. Otherwise firing would make the game exit for me. Otherwise, worked great.
Pac-Man Championship Edition: Yes!
Radiant HD: Everything works, even switching weapons.
Samuraii Vengence II: It technically works, but the button mapping on the ps3 is terrible. You have to use select and start to attack, with clicking the right stick to roll.
Symphony of Eternity: Yes, Square works as the confirm button, L1 pulls up the menu. Works well.
Zen Pinball: Yes, you can control the flippers. Haven't figured out how to launch the ball, but being able to use the flippers is good enough, IMO.
Zenonia 3: Yes. I would assume 4 as well, but haven't verified yet.
Partial
Final Space: Can control the ship, but no button will fire
Doodle Jump: Menus work, but the game is obviously built for tilt control
Impossible: Jump works, but no way to set progress flag.
R-Type: You can control the ship with d-pad or left analog, but no button fires. Playable if you set the option to auto fire.
Reckless Getaway: Almost perfect. Car controls great, but no way to use special pickups other than tapping on the screen.

Age of Zombies: No
Shogun HD: No
Pinball Arcade HD: No

how you get gta3 to work properly with controller. my controller can move the character around but the buttons don't do anything. plus I didn't where to map actual hardware controller buttons in gt3 settings.
with gunman Clive, my controller works but the button for jump is merged with shoot. so i can shoot by pressing a button and if I press the button for jump, it jumps and shoots at the same time..lol

Awesome post man, thanks. I'll get to editing the list later tonight. (Made your text small so the quote wasn't so huge.)
