Gamepad support problem - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, i have a nexus 7 2012 rooted and i bought an OTG cable.I wanted to connect my logitech f310 gamepad and everythings worked fine...but i launched in modern combat 4 and the camera is spinning around...same for gta san andreas.I checked dead trigger 2 but it is working good.I tried the tutorials with xbox wirless problems but no solution...Anybody has an idea how to make this gamepad to work with this 2 games?

Some controllers work better than others, the 360 and PS3 controllers for example will have support in a lot of games where a more uncommon controller such as yours will not have support in all of the same games.
You can use an app like this to map controls and have your controller work with unsupported games...that app is said to be tested and compatible with your Logitech F310 :good:

PS3 Sixaxis works wonderfully with Note

I wanted to post a quick note about game controllers for the Note.
Can't speak for everybody, but I have found in hard to find definitive information on what gamepads will or won't work with the Note. I had previously tried all different combinations. Xbox wired controllers. Wiimotes over bluetooth, and even 2 different Onlive controllers. In all cases the results were mixed.
So, I sort of gambled and bought a Wired Sony Sixaxis controller. It works perfectly! This is a Sony branded official Playstation controller.
For the record, its a wired version, I connected to the Note with an USB OTB adapter. It connects from the mini USB port with a female USB end.
I was able to use the controller for several Android Market games, including Grand Theft Auto, and Shadowgun. Also, I connected to Onlive and was able to use the controller without issue.
I have not tried any emulators (not my thing) and I found at least one game that "should" work does not. That's PES 2012. In fairness, I may not have the right version. In theory, anything Xperia Play Optimized on the Market should work.
The best part was that I got the controller for $30 at my local gamestop.
Hope this helps someone.
Don't know if this works with wired controllers but has some nice extra features for wireless sixaxis controllers.
- Keyboard emulation. Map all buttons and sticks to almost any key available in Android.
- Mouse emulation. Configure a button to activate the mouse pointer on devices that support mice (most tablets, and many phones should work).
- Touch emulation allows you to map buttons and analog sticks to the screen. Play all your favourite games with full analog support, even those without built-in controller support!

Have seen this but haven't tried it, looks like it adds the same features as the sixaxis app.

How did you get SixAxis and the PS3 controller to work on Shadowgun?
I have the app, PS3 controller and connect wirelessly via Bluetooth. The controller paired just fine with my AT&T Note. I fired up Grand Theft Auto and the controller works just fine with no additional setup.
For Shadowgun, though, nothing works.

[Q] wii this controller work on the nexus 7?

Mojo + moga?

Does anyone have a MOGA Pro? I noticed there are a number of games compatible out there. Even Mogas website has a list of great compatible games. Ive tried 4-5 Games out there that specifically said Moga Enhanced in their description - and those didn't work with the CTRLR in Game smart mode. Had to use Tincore if I wanted to map the controls. I had hoped it wldve worked.
So Im wondering if anyone has one and does it do what it says? How does its button mapping app work?

Some games need Moga Pivot app. Particularly the ones that support Moga Pocket as it connects with SPP.
In the other hand there is a significative number of games that support a few controllers only like Moga, Sixaxis or Xbox. For those you can use gamepad simulation to bridge the gap.

gamepad simulation...like tincore keymapper? I've tried many games with tincore, not all work that great. As long as you can navigate menus in mouse mode on the CTRLR, you can usually map the games controls. If this is what you mean by bridging the gap then its really not the solution to moga enhanced games. I'm wondering if someone out there has a moga and can share there experience with it?
EDIT:
So I'm at work, bored. Just bought a MOGA Pro for 69.99$. The list of compatible games that I've been able to find is quite impressive and it sold me. Theres lots of games that are MOGA enhanced that aren't yet playable on MOJO so I just look at this purchase as another add-on to my MOJO

By bridging the gap I meant that if you have a gamepad that is not compatible with those games that support just some particular controllers you could use the mapper to make it work with them (gamepad simulation).
So I got my Moga Pro Power today (Thanks amazon one-day shipping option) and I have to say, It works as advertised! Downloaded some games last night in anticipation: The Dark Knight Rises, Emancy, M.U.S.E., Modern Combat 4, and Max Payne Mobile. All of these games work great with the Moga! Even the menus in each game are navigable with the controller itself!
This is great news, adds LOTS more playability to the MOJO seeing as though there are 150+ Moga Enhanced games out there. Rock on.
This is a great controller, fits nice in the hand (Xbox 360 style). A slight bit too wide, only because of the flap that flips up for holding your phone. I personally favor the CTRLR over this, but it's damn close. What also is a neat feature is that this controller is rechargeable(No batteries required) and can charge your phone/tablet while you play games. Has a 2200mah battery that supposedly lasts 15-22hrs on a charge. It even comes with a tablet stand. I recommend this to anyone who's got a MOJO looking to expand their library of games :good:
Has anybody played any two player games or emulators using a moga and the mojo controller at the same time. I'm assuming it would work but just wanting to know. Wanting to get an android gaming device and the ouya failed me in that regard.
Thanks

I've used the CTRLR with the PS3 controller on NES and SNES emulators. Worked a peach.
CTRLR with wired X360 controllers works for FPse.

To my knowledge Moga uses it's own SDK libraries rather then google/nvidia standard.
I'm not sure what the libs do, can you use a moga on non moga games with controller support?
If the game has Moga support and standard controller support, it 'should' work with the two pads or expect the other to be the same, depends on the developer.

Maybe mherma can speak from experience with his.
I have the Moga Power which has mode A (custom Moga SDK) and mode B (bluetooth HID compliant input). When I try to sync mode B, the bluetooth screen sees it and pairs, but the lights on the Moga keep blinking. When I put it on Mode B, it does not show up on the list of devices but the lights on the Moga indicated it was paired. Either way it was not recognized as a second controller in Beach Buggy Racing.
I didn't think to install the Moga app though, I'll try that.
Update: wiht the Moga Pivot app, I can get the Mojo to pair in A mode (Moga Mode). Quite seamless. But its recognition is app-specific I think. When I try Riptide 2, I can do split screen with two controllers. But Beach Buggy Racing from the same dev and moga-supported, does not recognize the moga. Oh well. I have not tried SNES or FPSE, but those play very nicely with the Moga, so I don't expect problems.

[Q] Multiplayer support in M.O.J.O.

M.O.J.O. is advertised as having "MULTIPLAYER SUPPORT – Connect two or more gamepads for multiplayer games". Has anyone ever tried this feature succesfully? Is there really any android games out there that support offline multiplayer on the same device?

Thanks for the info, gwaldo. It never cross my mind.
Which emus did you use successfully with your 2nd Ctrlr? And how do you set it up? Did you plug the dongle into the USB 2.0 port?

I mostly use the N64 (Mupen64), PS1, PSP, snes, Sega mega drive, I forget their names just google and try them out..
But emulators on android have great controller mapping, so it doesn't matter what 2nd controller you have, you can map it (configure the buttons/sticks) and play it , the N64 support 4 players!
IE as explained here:
http://www.howtogeek.com/141052/how...hysical-controller-on-your-android-phone/all/
I'm hoping gameloft can do controller mapping one day!!
The mojo controller needs the USB dongle (yes I keep it on USB2 unless I have need to use a HDD), the retail controller is BT2 so it doesn't need it, but I prefer the mojo ctrlr because the middle button activates the background apps, where as the retail controller doesn't.
I just found out that we can play Badland in coop and multiplayer mode with 2nd controller. I use Ipega PG-9025 as my 2nd controller and connect with bluetooth. Hope that more android games will support this.

[Q] Does the Nexus Player's Controller work on OUYA?

I was about to the buy the Nexus Player, along with the controller, and I was wondering if someone could test the controller on the OUYA. I really like the Nexus Player's controller, so I was wondering if it can be used to replace to the OUYA controller?
Idk, But if/when they release kernel source you could probably port the controller to ouyas kernel if you had to
Will the ouya or ps4 controllers work on Nexus player. God I hope so. I have 4 ouya and 4 ps4 controllers. I can't afford to buy any more controllers.
Does anyone have an answer for this?

By default, the Ouya controller does not work very well, the button mapping is all messed up. Once we get root, I can add the proper keyboard layout files from the Ouya and let you know if that works. At least it pairs just fine.
Ps4 controller does not work
I've tried a bunch of times to get the PS4 controller to work, but I cannot get it to pair over bluetooth and I don't have a usb otg cable to see if it works over usb. :/
Do you have the nexus player gamepad? Can it pair with OUYA and play games?

I do not have a Nexus Player gamepad. I already have 4 Ouya gamepads, so I thought getting another one was just too much.
I've got the nexus gamepad delivered to me yesterday and although I haven't tested pairing it with the ouya yet, I'm pretty sure that the button mapping will be messed up. I have paired it with my note 10.1 2014 and it works great! Especially with Limelight (whatever the newest root ver is)
Yup, as said above, it DOES pair, but the mapping is all messed up. One of the keypad buttons maps to 'back', not had the triggers working in anything. But some games have still been playable.
Hope someone gets this working as it's also quite good to have the touchpad area to move around too.
Oh, the other thing is both the standard gamepad and the ouya gamepad when paired show as the same controller (ie, player1). Not sure where the other ouya pad I've got is to see if that turns up as player2.
