[Q] Use gamepad to emulate Xperia Play's gamepad on unrooted GS3 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know of a gamepad that I can use to emulate having the Xperia Play's gamepad on my unrooted GS3, so I can use physical controls on all xperia play optimized games? If an app is required to configure the gamepad, please link to it.

The xperia has buttons you can map to, or buttons the game is mapped to rather. And the soccer game does not because it is or the tab and is controlled by touch. Thats why its not gonna work. Right? Or maybe I misunderstood what you are saying..
you mean the game is controller by the optical touch control on the xperia play? not the game pad ? but at least those buttons should work.

SIXAXIS

Will SIXAXIS work with the SXS and a third party controller?
Like this one: Ebay link
Even tho it seller says: Compatible with Sony PS3 only.
My plan was to play the Playstation games on my tv with the hdmi cable and PS3 controller.
I don't think Sixaxis will work to be honest. But I also doubt there are any games that support it really...
The ps3 pad works with cable and livedock if on stock. And there is sixaxis app for rooted. Playstation suite is already compatible with the pad on ginger bread. When ics comes there will be native support meaning full controller with USB controller supported games like GTA3, shadowgun, onlive.

Yea i was going to buy the sixaxis app. And then play some of the games from the new playstation store with a PS3 controller. But will it work?
And do you know why crash bandicoot is not in the PS store? Is it coming later or?

I can confirm Sixaxis app works well with Xperia S and with the right button mapping it also controls the games from PS store. So makes the perfect micro console.
Not sure when crash will come out as only came out on the other devices as a pre-installed freebe.

Only Root, Controller and App
Button mapping = while we are on Gingerbread you will have to change the button config 1 time in sixaxis settings (listed post below) for the playstation cert games. Or you can map button presses to screen if want (usefull for touch only games) . When we have ICS we will have full native controller support which means we will have the pad working fully sticks and everthing (eg GTA3 will control the same as if was on PS2)
Playstation Suite Mappings
All buttons are the obvious (left = left , L1 = L1) except these 4
Cross = Button A or D-pad center (d-pad center also works on all menus as enter)
Circle = Button B
Square = Button X
Triangle = Button Y
Xperia Play games mapping
Again all buttons are the obvious (left = left , L1 = L1) except these 4
Cross = D-pad center
Circle = Back
Square = X or Button X (cant remember which one)
Triangle = Y or Button Y (cant remember which one)
I've tested Sixaxiss controller.

Yes. But until ICS the sticks wont work as they should. You can either use a Sony Ericsson live dock (works with most USB pads), Or some low powered controllers should work with just an OTG cable.
For xperia s. Can use the app. to capture screenshot of game is........ please.
Once you get root you'll be able to use a Dualshock/Sixaxis controller, you need root for the pairing app see. Then it just runs as a regular controller, of if you want you can use it as an IME(bind buttons like a USB keyboard for compatibility with some emulators).
Execuse me.Which application can capture the screen of any games on xperia s (2.3.7) ?

Frameworks issue, wait for ICS.

[Q] Does Xperia Play Optimized mean it is also optimized for native gamepad support?

Android 3.0+ has featured native gamepad support.
Considering the Xperia Play's controller has everything the supported native gamepad does (minus the analog triggers), would Xperia Play support indicate gamepad support?
Anyone with a tablet and a controller tested this out much?

Does PSXperia work with Xperia S on ICS

Hi! I've just downloaded the ps store and ps pocket applications, and im wondering if psxperia will work on it, psxperia works on my xperia play running gingerbread, but im not sure if it works on ics because i read somewhere that you need the keys from the ics version of crash bandicoot which was never released for xperia play because it didn't get ics. I like using fpse, but ps pocket is sometimes more compatible and it looks way cooler! I have a lot of ps1 games (metal gear solid) and i would like to play them with my xperia s if possible, thanks
Just use FPSE and don't overcomplicate things here.

I came from a Xperia Play and that tool was quite fiddly to use. Just use FPSE as you haven't got any touch analogue sticks (the main reason why Xperia Play users preferred this tool over FPSE). I use Sixaxis Controller from the play store to play FPSE with my PS3 controller and it works perfect.
can you please delete this

[Q] All possible android tv box gaming solutions!!?

Hi,
I am interested in gaming over my imito mx1 android tv stick, but unfortunately the rom is not installed with the required touch screen drivers! so we can't use six axis or gamekeyboard applications for games emulation
so I searched and think about any other temporary solutions to play but non of them had all what I want!
For example:
1) PS3 controller & Xbox is restricted to some games like gta, shadow gun, sonic episode II..
2) Droidmote also work for some with addition of some accelerometer games "although it didn't work on my xperia play but work with the mk808 remote application! I didn't know why" . But in overall, I am not comfortable to play with touch game pad, hard buttons is the best! ( Yes I know that I can use my xperia play game pad to play as an option in the droidmote but as I said this is for some games, not all)
3) Moga game pad is a good temporary solution I think because it can play some extra cool gameloft games, so I am thinking to buy one!
4) Off course, the best solution is to wait a "Hero Developer" how can introduce a new rom with implemented touch drivers!!!
But untill that time, I tried another solution that to make some configuration in the keylayout fils of the PS3 controller to emulate the keylayout of my xperia play, so by that I think that I will be able to control all xperia play optimized games on my imito mx1!! BUT OFF COURSE I DIDN'T SUCCEED BECAUSE OF MY RESTRICTED KNOWLEDGE IN THIS FIELD
So, I need your help and suggestions!
Thank you.

with the last versions of DroidMote Client and DroidMote Server, when you connect your hardware controller to the device with DroidMOte Client installed, you forwards the command of the hardware controller to DroidMote Server.
In this mode you can play also with all android multi-touch games with your hardware controller.
and with your harddware controller, you can press all buttons and axis simultaneously. (many touch points at server side.)
look the DroidMote Forum to understand all about DroidMote
with the same technique, and DroidMote Server for windows, you can play also all multi-touch windows 8 games
bye bye and look this:

Thank you for rresponse, I appreciate that and also I am appreciating your great application, but we still talking about many other games that not recognize all needed inputs from the droidmote client or in general from other gamepads like PS3 or Xbox !!
I want to know the real name of action of my xperia play buttons to use it for configuration other keylayout controller,
so for example, when I press x button in my xperia play with scan code 304 or circle button with scan code 305, this make the avater in gangstar rio jumb or chang weapons!!
becuase I put d pad center for the x button and back for circle button as a names function but with no success!!
thank you.

this are all keyevent:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.html
and you must create / customize your keylayout in /system/usr/keylayout in this mode:
http://source.android.com/tech/input/key-layout-files.html
this is the same way you personalize DroidMote configurations file /system/usr/keylayout/droidmote.kl
if a game support a controller or a keyboard, you can do all that you want. with the keylayouts.
if not support keyboard or conttrollers you must use a touch profile.
this is valid for all, DroidMote, ps3 controller, xbox 360 controller and xperia play hardware controls.
Now, after long time of trying almost all common function keys, it seems nothing can control the gangstar rio as my experimental game! so by pressing all these keys, I can't get any movement after its installation on my imito mx1 android TV stick, although the same version is installed on my xperia play and it is fully customized on its gamepad.
So my question is, why I can fully control this game on my xperia play and can't get any movement with the same version installed on my imito mx1 tv stick?
Other question, is it possible to customize a game to work on a specific gamepad ( not a gamepad on specific game)
Thank you
