Are these controllers supported natively, or is it necessary to use 3rd party apps to connect to them?

I get the list of controllers from .15 firmware, so they supported natively.
But alsow game must fully support games controller.
Some times, not all buttons works. For example only moves or fire and jump button,
etc
I have a wired Xbox 360 controller I used with mine (requires keyboard) and it works incredibly well - if the software supports it. You can navigate the home screens easily, just like the touchpad. But, game support is dependent on the game, not OS. For example, Shine Runners works very well, but Dungeon Defenders doesn't see it.
The nVidia marketplace does a good job of specifying controller support.
Hey I'm a noob. How do I pair the PS3 remote with the Prime?

Just plagin PS3 remote to the dock
just tried my iControlPad, works with bluez ime app from market (free) and any ''oid'' emulatore (snesoid, gameboid, etc) have not tried other setups
I meed to get a dock n USB controller or a BT controller. these ps1 games is killing me with touch screen controls. I got final doom, quake 2, R-type Delta, Marvel vs. Capcom, XMen vs. Street Fighter, and Einhander all on my prime. they look n play great with the gpu plugin. now I need a damn controller. Hard to play some of those with touchscreen..lol
which one is the one you can buy at Gamestop that's said to work with prime?
the motorola bluetooth keyboard (the one styled after the xoom) work like a dream, shortcut keys, home/back, its one of the less expensive and well made bluetooth android oriented keyboards, and it has function keys for use with a pc as well, well worth the 45$ i paid for it.

Can you give me a link on that controller (iControlPad)?
demandarin there's no answer yet, only testing
Hi,
I tried to connect my WiiMotes.
Even though it suggests the codes 0000 and 1234 ,neither seems to do the trick.
Any help would be appreciated.
I've been using the GameStop branded controller. The system seems to treat it as a bluetooth keyboard. If you launch a notepad type app, you can see what buttons map to which keys. But it seems to work to some degree at least in those apps that nvidia labels as "controller" supported.
I think this is already known but the Sixaxis PS3 controller works without any 3rd party apps.
Just plug it in via USB then turn on bluetooth. From then on it is paired and will work without needing USB.

Hi, you may buy this one
Anyone able to get the right analog sticks on any brand of controller to properly register with emulators (such as N64oid, SNESoid, Gensoid etc.)?
PS3 won't, either hooked up native or through a third-party such as SixAxis Controller. Therefore I'm wondering if any others will, or if it's an issue that will be present regardless.

Here is manual

N64oid only looks for analog input from the left analog stick and ignores the right analog completely. In order to get the C-buttons working, you can use the Sixaxis app in native gamepad mode, disable the 'Right Analog x-axis' and 'Right Analog y-axis', then use the keyboard emulation to configure the right analog stick as digital button presses (you must also have your IME set to Sixaxis Controller). Most other emulators don't use analog, so you can just use the keyboard emulation exclusively.
Hi Folks, dunno if its just me, but when i try to use my 360 controller to play games like shadowgun, GTA3, etc etc they have some degree of control but mostly dont work.
GTA and Shadowgun just spin as if the analogue stick is being pressed all the time (but its not), is there any way to configure them? i have tried the ingame configurations but it also registers the constant analogue stick input.
Controller works fine on the xbox so its not that.
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
Is there anyone that has found a solution for using a game controller (PS3, PS4, XBOX ONE, ect) to emulate touch controls for touch screen only games? I know I have rooted my installation and attempted to install the sixaxis app, since I had already bought it for one of my previous devices, but it always fails to configure Bluetooth. Are there any apps out there that can accomplish this that we currently know are working with this wonderful os...?
I tried 2 bluetooth gamepads made for Android, one of them can use the D-pad and ABXY in system but doesnt work in game, another gamepad doesn't work at all
Hope they fix/add support for gamepad soon so we can enjoy games on pc/laptop with no touchscreen support (I really wanted to play Implosion).
Try GameKeyboard +
I use it to emulate onscreen the physical gamepad to play nvidia shield exclusive Portal on Xiaomi Mi3, but I also see options to map physical gamepad or keyboard or even mice; might you find it useful.

Use "Sixaxis Enabler" from the playstore. Works fine for me.

I'll give this and game keyboard a try... With sixaxis enabler, it sounds like all it does is make android recognize it as an android controller. If that is correct, then I don't need that due to the fact that remix os recognizes it as a controller just by plugging it in, but I need touchscreen emulation for apps that don't support controllers.
Bluestacks has some kind of keyboard control apk built in?
I tried it with Real Racing 3 and could steer, accelerate and brake using direction keys on a physical keyboard. But the graphics for the game itself weren't represented well and I switched to RemixOS. Which looks perfect in full screen, but alias there is no way to steer or brake.
Hello,
I'm trying to use a Madcatz Xbox 360 arcade stick on my Shield TV. Everything works except for two buttons LT and RT. I have used a keytester and nothing shows up in scancodes or keycodes. It appears as Android thinks they are an axis and not actual buttons. Is there anyway to change it so they appear as buttons and not as an axis? I should note that I have another Madcatz Xbox 360 arcade stick that works fine, it appears as though they use different KL files. They show up in USB host viewer as Madcatz (the one that is working) and one shows up as Harmonix? (not working) Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
