[Q] Best Bluetooth Gamepad for Note? [N64oid/BluezIME] - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Okay, The Note runs N64 games FLAWLESSLY.
From what I understand, fancy controllers like ps3 sixaxis and wiimote/nunchuk won't work with stock galaxy roms because of some low level bluetooth incompatibility. You'd have to wait until CM9 or similar comes out.
So, I'm looking for the best bluetooth gamepad to use with N64oid and BluezIME if required. BluezIME has official support for a few, such as Zeemote, PhoneJoy, and iControlPad. The only one out of those that has an analog stick is the Zeemote, and it only has 4 additional buttons.
For a good N64 controller, it needs an analog stick, 6 buttons (A,B,L,R,Z,START), and another analog stick or a D-pad for the C-buttons. Something like the ps3 controller would be perfect: 2 analog sticks, 2-4 trigger buttons, start button, and 2-4 regular buttons.
Is there one with the needed buttons that is compatible?

probably can't post that here, but Google will get it for you in about one second.

Just google N64oid and Bluez IME(the bluetooth bridge). Can't help you with roms.

So the sixaxis does work with N64oid? Can you comment on the performance and button mapping? Can you map the C buttons to the right analog stick?

I havent used n64oid. Ive have used snesoid and nesoid with the sixaxis controller and used button mapping.

Alex, you WANT "Datel Retro Wireless Gamepad" - can get it at:
http://us.codejunkies.com/Products/Wii-Wireless-Retro-Controller__EF000622.aspx
Been using it with PlayStation emulators, n64oid, everything. Full botton mapping works great and easily connects. Worked GREAT with my Atrix and now my Note. Search for YouTube videos of it being used- arguably the most popular wireless Android gamepad. Highly recommended.
Hope that helps.

That costs pretty much the same as a PS3 controller. Might as well get a brand name sixaxis/dualshock.

Unfortunately not at this time. Bluetooth for the PS3 controller is apparently a bit of a *****. There is a port for WinMo as far as I know, but nothing for Android.
This would be absolutely amazing however. I wish that a talented dev would pick this up.
wiimote with classic controller works perfectly. a bit more cumbersome, but so what.

Yep. But if you've got the Webtopmod you can just do HDMI-out to your TV and use the remote with ease! I did this right before I bricked my Atrix lol
It was awesome for the few minutes I used it.

GOOD Xbox 360 wired controller IME?

I'm using USB/BT Joystick Center (from the Market) as my IME for my 360 controller. I'm also using n64oid to play mah favorite n64 games (Star Wars Podracing, Smash Bros- hell yeah!), but the analog sticks are KILLING me. They are unable to register "degrees of input" (as in lightly pressed or pressed hard) and thus both analog sticks only register as if they are moved to an extreme. As you can imagine, this is a major pain, and makes a lot of things almost unplayable... So I'm here wondering, does anyone have a solution? A better IME? Post anything that you think could help!

I would HIGHLY recommend the Sixaxis app. It only works with Sony branded PS3 controllers, but it has analog support over bluetooth (just added) and is constantly being updated. Give it a try!
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en
(Do note that I have not tried using the analog support in N64oid yet, since it came out yesterday, will update tonight (works like a charm in GTA 3 though)).

Update:
Without an IME, I get normal analog stick function.
But without the IME, it no longer registers input from the right stick or from RT/LT triggers.

I am not sure about the Xbox 360 controller and any app your using (I use sixaxis w/ a ps3 controller), but I found it useful to map the C buttons to either the right joystick (since the N64 didn't have one, it is usually not used) or the dpad.
The key to get that trick to work, depending on the app your using, is to make sure that the inputs of say the dpad and left joystick are seperate (both are not mapped as "DPAD Direction') and then map the buttons within N64oid.

You can play zelda, just have to map the back and start buttons, as well as the button when you press in the analog sticks. (maybe referred to as L3?)
I have the back and start buttons as c-buttons (back = c-up, start = c-left), and L3 as the start button.
Could you get it to work?
Hello,
Got exactly the same problem.
Cannot make the analog stick recognized as a real analog stick in N64oid.
Have anyone managed to fix that ?

Zero lag, the graphics are very smooth, but, as I already mentioned, the controls are quite bad.
There's no lag, but it took me about an hour to map all the gamepad controls since the touchscreen compatibility is literally ****ed up. Now that I can play with a gamepad it works flawlessly though.

Wait what? how do you play it with a gamepad controller? I was SO MAD about the touch controls as it would randomly shoot and I can't stop the waste of bullet's and especially that annoying moment where you can't aim at the bad guy's in the first scene after shooting the top corner's of the gate

In sixaxis controller I checked "enable gamepad, " then Shadowgun enables the gamepad menu and allows you to assign bindings from within the game. I bet plugging in a xbox controller would work as well. I'm not sure if keyboard emulation works anymore, but I don't see why not.

You would have to insmod the gamepad module...and then buy a usb adaptor for $20. Then you would need a compatible cable to connect the xbox controller to the tablet.
I just went to Walmart and dropped $60 on a Dual Shock 3 controller though...the Sixaxis Controller app is pretty awesome. (like it's really really really really awesome)
Epic, will try this, can you link a specific picture or sort of the USB adapter? I assume this is a female-female one?

Here's the official Samsung one, I don't know much more about them.
Holy crap?! This would totally save my day, How the **** did I not find something like that? I asked them for ALL their accessories that they had and I got dragged to the stupid cover cases.
Thank's for this, Now I know what it looks like.
I figured you had to use the original cable, then a female-female adapter, then the xbox controller on the other side. All in all a very long ass wire.

Thanks for the tip! I'm using one of my PS3 controllers (no need of USB adapter for pairing with the Tab, just the standard mini USB and sixpair on the PC), works great.

Hi guys. Is there a way to set up multiple keys to function when I hit one (hw) button in epsxe? for example if I set the directions to "w a s d" it would be really helpful when I hit "e" and it moves up and right. I know fpse can do it, but it started crashing with latest updates, and I find this alternative app since. Would be great,please if you know how to do it,pm me
edit: never mind, Id been blind, I found it!
many people here vote for FPSE, on ePSXe it also works... PS3 Controller and hide touch buttons..

It would be hard to tell (honnestly, even if I manage Fpse official forum ^^).
In my opinion, it depends on what you're expecting from the emulator:
Fpse=> more options (for video, audio, controlers), more things you can tweak to get your perfect "graphic/speed balance" for each game, in the whole better graphic....and more updates (which can be seen as a bad or a good point, depending on how geek you are but a proof that the devs tries to fix every single bug )
Epsxe=> Easy to set up, no waste of time, straight to the point: if a game is said to work so it does indeed. But less tweaking possibilities, less good graphic on high end devices. Working great on low/medium end devices
If you want to play quickly, prefer instant-game over trying settings, Epsxe
If you want a lot of options and perfect crispy graphics, even if it requires trying a few settings , Fpse
Schtruck, Fpse's dev., is my friend, and I've been following this project since late 2008 on Windows Mobile then Android, so of course I vote for Fpse

ePSXe is going to be the best psx emulator on the Android market hands down, it supports blue tooth controllers and I'm positive it can run the PS3 controller as well since its blue tooth and I have a Red Samurai blue tooth controller I use to play all my games well most!

Fpse has been supporting bluetooth too for a very long time (actually FpseCE for Windows Mobile was already supporting bluetooth controllers like the MSI BGP100 in early 2009 ).
BTW, Opengl 2.0 plugin for Fpse is on the way (there are already 3 different rendering possibilities: software, OpenGL ES blitting and OpenGL 1.1 plugin). As far as graphics are concerned, Fpse has always had (and so will keep having) an advantage over epsxe
Does anyone know if FPse or ePSXe have native ps3 controller support? (I have a transformer infinity and I would like to just use the USB port on the dock and play games.)
A year as passed.... ePSXe has grown.
What do you think?

Just try the pirated versions. Then help the developer by buying ePSXe or FPse. This way you are helping yourself and the developer
If you think my idea is totally stupid, Just buy epsxe. Because it's the modern emulator

[Working] GameStop Red Samurai V2 Bluetooth Controller ($12.97)

Picked up a pair of these controllers from GameStop earlier this week. Only tried pairing one, but it works great! It has 2 modes, in one of them it acts just like the remote without the voice part.
http://m.gamestop.com/Catalog/Product/104425
I bought one today and it works perfectly. Tip: ensure the controller remains in the NP's line of sight during pairing. The first time it couldn't pair and the second time it paired but no buttons (in game mode) worked because of this.

I'm very picky about third party controllers and their directional pads.
This controller... is amazing!
Sent from my SM-N910P using XDA Free mobile app
One thing worth noting...
The controller pairs as two separate devices. If you pair it in "keyboard" mode, you must re-pair it in "gamepad" mode.
Just picked up two of these today based on reviews in this thread and after a few tests I can confirm that these things are amazing.
I was previously trying to use my Ouya controllers to play games here and there, but these $12 controllers are 100x better and most games and emulators I've tried so far "just work". They're actually comfortable to hold, buttons are responsive with good travel and I can operate the NP menu with them without any bizarre button config.

I agree. They feel so much smoother than allot of other controllers I have used. The Gamestop associate helping me recommended it. Glad I listened to him! The only real negative I have about this controller is that I wished it used micro USB to charge instead of the mini USB.
I hope this post can help those on a budget looking for a great gaming controller. Trying to give back to an awesome community that has helped me avoid many potentially bricked devices.
Just ordered mine from gamestop, it better be as good as you all say it is... Or else!
thanks for the heads up. i got two the other day ago and my girl got one for her kid. this is a steal. ive used several games as well as emulators and it works great.

Did you try to see if it works with 2 players simultaneous? I purchased a NykoPad Pro which works great and I want another to use for my MAME emulator. I read reviews (amazon) that users can pair a second controller but they can't seem to get the second Nyko Playpad to go into two player mode.
I hope the Red Samurai doesn't have his problem.
Finally arrived in the mail today and I LOVE the feel of it. Very comfortable to hold, maybe a little light, and aesthetically pleasing. Just need to figure out the easiest way to remap keys to work with emulators, and then I'll be golden!
Okay, trying to make this work with NostalgiaNES but they keys aren't mapped property, anyone have remapping recommendations?

a lot of games work with this thing. in theory any game that supports bluetooth controllers.
if you install lollirok and amazon appstore the list grows a whole lot.
gta3 works really great btw. kind of funny that it shows as incompatible with android tv.
ive tried a few emulators and know forsure that you can use two of these controllers at the same time.
Going to start testing out humble bundle games!

No worries, I'll explain as much as I can. Looks like you will need a mouse or 3rd party app to access the menu when your in the app. I use my DroidMote app. I couldn't access the settings with the physical remote or the remote app.
Once you go to settings, select input.
Select external controller
Select define keys and manage each player
