Need help configuring PS3 controller with RetroArch...anyone got it to work? - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Hello!
I just cant figure this out.
When I connect the PS3 controller I can go to Inputs in the Settings for Retroarch and customize the input and it works fine in there, I can use the PS3 controller to move around the menu just fine etc.
The moment I try any emulator like the PSX or Sega Genesis then I can get Start button to work and nothing else

What is NOT interesting about it?
I would love to use a sixaxis (or any other controller) for n64 emulators, snes emulators, psx emulators and so on. using the touchscreen as controller is ruining the experience and potential of emulators.
BTW, if you dont have anything constructive or informative to write in these forums, stfu.

I got to borrow my friends PS3 controller:
The buttons wont hold in snes emulator, like if you run forward pressing |> and the press X to jump at the same time, I'll have to repress again after the jump |> to keep running in supermario It may be the emulator that does not support "multitouch" so I'll report back tomorrow when I'll buy my own PS3 controller.
Anyone know if the XBOX 360 controller will work w/USB host adapter?

No I mean wouldnt it be better to read and learn and gain more knowledge that will be helpful to your future?
I have read, learned, and gained knowledge. And I can honestly say that using a ps3 controller for emulators running on my tab is going to be ****ing awesome for my future!
Shouldn't you be working on that taskbar color?

Aspie much? Who cares?
Alright, sent and e-mail and got a reply. A bug in the program. Updated and now can connect with PS3 controller. Everything is working smoothly, running splendidly on n64oid 2.1.

I appreciate that information
What ROM's have you tried that is working smooth?
I've tried Super Mario 64, Wave Race 64, Golden Eye and Mario Kart 64.
They all run without hickups or any lag!
Pilot Wings 64 on the other hand gives me black polygons and crackling audio noises.
Should there be a separate thread for Emulator ROM's maybe?
Hey,
I'm having trouble pairing my controller with my Tab,
I installed the Sixaxis Pair Tool and i entered the Bluetooth Mac Address of my Tab (I didn't find it in the actual app, when i pressed Start, on the Tab but i had to enter Android Settings and About.
Anyway, under Current Master it shows the Bluetooth Mac Address of my Tab, i then unplugged the controller, pressed the PS button, and pressed Start in the App on the Tab and it says Connection Initiated.... and thats it, the controller is blinking but it doesn't seem to wanna connect to the Tab
Any help would be appreciated
P.S. I followed the instructions on http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/instructions.html
Fixed it with a restart of my Tab, apparently my tab wasn't asking for root until i rebooted,
Great app by the way
My controller is being recognized by the N64oid app when i have to configure the inputs. When I go to play a game though, it won't recognize the controller.
Best money spent on my TAB so far Working perfectly with Snes9x EX.
i followed everything and the app says connection established however, my controller doesn't stop blinking any thoughts? should I just assume that this app doesn't work with samsung devices at all?

I had a problem with mine not registering input even after following the setup and my lights saying it was connected as controller 1. I deleted the sixaxis compatibility checker and then rebooted, started the connection, hit the ps button, and selected sixaxis controller as input and it worked flawlessly. If you're 100% positive you're doing everything word for word and changed the sixaxis' bluetooth address to match your tab's then try a reboot and see if it fixes it.
So the controller finally works. When you enable IME in N64oid the controller will start working. I don't know if anyone else noticed, but does the software support full analog control? I can't get Mario to stop running at full speed even thought i am pushing the stick only a little .
If you are having trouble getting the controller started do this....
Download and SixAxisPairTool on your pc.
Plug the controller into your pc with the usb cable that came with the ps3.
Hit the power button on the controller. A set of numbers will show on top with a empty box below.
On the tablet, run SixAxis Controller. There will be a bluetooth address at the bottom of the screen. Copy these numbers/letters into the sixaxispairtool on your pc.
Unplug the controller, hit start on the controller app on the tablet and hit the power button on the controller. Hit configure input settings and switch to ps3 controller.
You should be all set to go! Good Luck!
The sixaxis works great with every emulator I have tried it with so far. Are there any non-emulator apps that anyone has got working? Any android games that are not emulators? If there are some, then maybe we need to get a list going of what apps work with the sixaxis controller and which ones do not.
I am also all in favor of getting a list of what rom's work for each system.
I have tested mario kart and 007 for N64 and they both work. I have also tested nba jam tournament edition for snes and that works. I am really bummed because cruisn usa will not work in the n64 emulator. The screen is off to the left. Has anyone else tried that one? I love playing cruisn usa.

In N64oid or whichever emulator you are running, go to settings, other settings, and then tick the box for "Use input method"
I'm having the same issue as amarp84
pairing is fine, bluetooth address is fine, connection is established no worries and it says that there is a client connected, but the lights won't stop blinking and sync to a controller port
i'm on 10.1v ... anyone else got it working on the tab so i know if it's just me?
I works great on my tab 10.1.
Anyone get keys to map with N64oid? I cant get multiple joysticks, they all map as DPAD down etc so i cant use seperate joysticks

[Q] Anyone managed to play shadowgun with zeemote?

Hi, I wanna try to play shadowGun THD on my Prime with the zeemote controller.
I manage to get the contoller set up and map the keys, but how do I make it work with shadow gun?
I looked at shadowgun's setup and didn't see a keyboard/controller keys option.
did anyone manage to get it work? I assume it supposed to work with a zeemote the same as it works with ps3 controller.
thanks
You can try using an IME (Input Method) Like BlueZ to work with the Zeemote, but I haven't tried it with Shadowgun yet.
I know that BlueZ works with a bunch of games/emulators but I don't know if it works with Unity applications or even if it being a Unity application even matters.
I've found that you can also search for Zeemote in the market and there's a bunch of games that work with the controller natively without an IME.
Nope, just tried it. Only the joystick let's you move forward, backward, and side-to-side.
Isn't the Zeemote basically the nunchuck addon for the wiimote with a couple more buttons? If you only have one joystick then you could either only move around and not look, or only look around and not move.

N64 Controller

Hi folks, I have been able to get my ps3 controller and wiimotes to hook up to my transformer and dock to play games on emulators with no issues. Unfortunately, neither of these controllers work well on the n64 games. I bought an USB N64 controller off amazon this week and received it today, but it won't work correctly. http://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-Cont...ZDPE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327084707&sr=8-1 - this is the controller I got. It lights up, and when programming the keymapping, it registers that there was a key pushed, but the buttons don't work. I went through and did the keymapping three times, but once finished and you try to push start at the beginning of a game, nothing happens. Are there drivers we can install on android, or is this controller just simply not compatible with android? Anyone have any ideas on this?
Try the USB Joystick app on the Market

ps3 controller works fine. Just map ps3 keys in n64oid and you are set. I am in the middle of kirby 64 right now. The c controls+z was tricky but i got it. You might need to go to sixaxis and change the keys for some of the buttons. No matter what you assign the button to it will be different when you map it in n64oid. Good luck
It depends on the emulator you are using i know that n64oid will only work for sixaxis controllers, but mupen64 will be your best bet, I just plug in an xbox 360 controller into my dock and it works perfectly using mupen as an emulator.:laugh:
Try mupen64
I used my original N64 controller and a n64 to usb conveyer with the muper64 emulator. Add it weren't a solid connection it kept starting/stopping but did work and could map buttons, even load a n64 profile.
I use a Logitech copy of an Xbox controller to play Dark Forces in AnDOSbox. Works great. Plugs into my dock and is recognized right away.

fpse and various snes n64 and genesis emulators

im looking to purchase the tablet s but i was wondering if fpse works with the ps3 controller on it? and the genesis snes and n64 emulators? can anyone verify?
I've got issues with FPSE, and running out of memory but the deve isn't sure why.
i can confirm that a ps3 controller once paired (for wireless operation) with the tablet s has worked with every emulator i have tried, and i think i have tried them all, well the major ones anyways. very happy overall with the tablet s so far
I can confirm that the PS3 wireless controller connecting to this tablet works with every emulators that is working on the tablet. NES SNES N64 etc... ofcourse you have to key the buttons...
I can also confirm that the ps3 controller works with all emulators i've tried (fpse, nesoid, gensoid, snesoid, gameboid, gbcoid, ataroid, gearoid, n64oid) but i do have a bit of an issue when it comes to N64oid. The way the tablet reads the controller (when it comes to the emulators) is the digital controls and the left analog stick are mapped to the same controls (ie pushing up on the digital control and pushing up on the left analog stick both register as "DPAD Up" when mapping controls). In addition to that the right analog stick doesn't register anything at all with exception of pushing it down as a button. What it comes down to is there doesnt seem to be enough buttons to properly map an N64 controller. You can still play games but you cant really play anything that utilizes the whole n64 controller.
FPSE all the way. I've only put maybe 4-5 hours into it, but I haven't run across any memory issues so far.
SNES droid also apears to work perfectly.

[Q] N64oid and PS3 controller

has anyone been able to get the PS3 controller working to control N64oid? the OS recognized input from the controller but N64oid doesnt. any tips to get this to work?
I have gotten a PS3 controller to work in N64oid by using the Sixaxis Controller app on Android market, but it's $1.76. There's a free compatibility checker that will let you know if it works with your phone (it works with the Atrix in general, but there's no harm in making sure).
***CAVEAT***
This program doesn't let the PS3 joysticks work as real joysticks and only sends up/down/left/right instead. It works fine for Paper Mario though, but that's all I can speak for as that's all I use on N64oid.
~Chef
thats what im using it for lol, paper mario. i had version 1.1.4 which worked fine with the joysticks but the newer 2.6.2 version of n64oid doesnt recognize the controller at all. android does.
There is no doubt that PS3 controllers do not connect to any Computer what so ever.
That's not even related to my problem

this might sound stupid, but did you check that the controller options were enabled in n64oid?
i looked arouond in the settings for the option but maybe I overlooked something? what should i check off in the settings?
