Why no XBOX 360 controller driver - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Can someone explain why a driver hasn't been made for WM6 Being able to pair an xbox 360 controller and use it like a gamepad for your pocket pc?
Can this be done?
Has it allready been done?

the Xbox360 gamepad uses a proprietary form of Wifi to connect to the Xbox 360, not Bluetooth like the PS3. Hope that answers your question.

well it may be possible but microsoft will never share sensitive information about their controllers
in theory it may be possible to create adhoc connection to your device but it may require new wlan drover for your device and aditional software to map the controls for the gamepad...
the similar thing goes for the PS3 controller

It would be incredibly difficult since the controller switches frequencies randomly to avoid interference from other 900MHZ devices.

since no xbox.......why no ps3 controller driver??
j/k
i've been playing around with a ps3 controller that i got......drivers for using the controller while is plugged into a pc are all over the internet........but i just found this a few days ago, drivers for using bluetooth.

scroll down to the post by 89ron. tried it......works for me, but the down side is you have to switch from your bluetooth stack to this freebt stack

Wait...wait..
I had the gamepad on and it showed on my Bluetooth as "Player 1" and the XBOX 360 was not on.. What does this tell you?

que? What do you mean?

search team for sixaxis bluetooth drivers

Hi.
I'm looking for gamepad for playing with my Pocket PC.I try to use the hidgamep.dll but untill now it is not successful....
There is the gamepad for chainpus but seems my pocket Pc not work with it.I would like to use the PS3 sixaxis or dualchok 3.But there is probléme with them if yuo open your bluetooht and try to find this gamepad device you won't find them.I read and search on interent and found some handle.I use ubuntu ans sixpaire for change adresse (adresse of my pocket pc's bluetooth) where the bluetooth gamepad must pair and try to pair.But the trouble is the same no sony's gamepad seen...After thinking may be it is the bluetooth stack (I think mine is Microsoft) wich is weak there is may be some lake in the stack/driver...(because under ubuntu or windows you must setup/update the usb and the bluetooth drivers.So can any one help me in this project writting a driver for the sixaxis/dualshok 3 bluetooth gamepad?
I install the widcomm bluetooth stack but when I try to start the bluetooth " I get message there is not enought memory for start bluetooth"
I'm less than a beginner in program devellopement.
I think it would be great to play with this gamepad with the emulator (Gameboy advance, psone,Snes or famicom ect..)
Thank.
Me Too
It's a very good idea , i'm looking for this too and no response !!!
That will verry good to play with mY HTC HD2 with a gamepad playstation 3 en Fpsece !!!!!
No Genius Xda Developers to this ?????

When pairing a new Dualshock3 with the PS3, you should recall that you must connect it via USB the first time in order for it to pair from that point on. If you try to use said controller on a different PS3, you have to connect the controller via USB once again in order to initiate pairing with the new machine, erasing the controller's tie with the original PS3. Even the PS3 does not just see it out there and connect. If this were to ever work, you would more than likely need to develop an application that allowed you to connect the controller to you phone via usb for the initial setup.
That in itself has its own problems. There are usb host drivers for certain devices, however I highly doubt it would recognize a Dualshock3 out of the box. So most likely you would need:
Modified USB host drivers
A Program to handle the USB setup of the controller itself
Probably a proprietary Bluetooth profile
Now i'm no expert on PS3 inner workings so I cant say for sure what profile you would need or if it wouldnt work with an existing supported profile. Before you cross that bridge however, I would think you'd need to at least setup the pairing through USB which is its own challenge.
Can anyone else provide more input/revise my answer?
I'm sure that plugging the PS3 remote into a PC could yield some information about how they connect it to the PS3.. an ID or something that gets changed every time maybe? I doubt you could just grab the PS3 remote, plug it in and go from there, but there has to be some kind of ID that you can associate with the controller and call from your phone to connect to it.
The sixaxis stores the address of its master and will only communicate through Bluetooth with its master.
I wrote a program (finished last Friday night) to change the master address of the sixaxis to whatever I want from a Windows PC, in this case my phone's bluetooth mac address, so now the sixaxis sees my phone as its master and is ready to communicate with it.
But that was the easy part. (Actually it wasn't easy at all, and very time consuming, but easy in comparison to the remaining tasks). Now I need to write a program that will run on the phone and read the connection attempts (and all other data) from the sixaxis and respond in a manner that the sixaxis will understand.
Anyone know of a good Bluetooth Packet Sniffer that runs on Windows Mobile?
best of luck with this Cobaltikus.... would love to see this happen!

[Q] PS3 SixAxis via BT?

I've been looking at some BT game controllers, and the xbox360 controller mod on here.
This would require either buying a BT controller that I don't even know if it will work, or at least buying a wired xbox360 controller... If all PS3 controllers are BT and these devices support BT inputs, how hard would it be to pair a SixAxis DualShock to one of these?

I know it took alot of time for developers to make a driver so that a PS3 controller could be used on the PC. I'm not a developer but apparently it was not an easy task. I assume it may be a little difficult to get the A7 to recognize it.

Those are Windows developers though, the guys on XDA seem to work at the speed of light compared to them

Xbox 360 controller to android phone

Hi.
I have a weird question.
Surfing the web i've found a solution to connect PS3 joypad to android phones.
Unfortunatly i don't have a PS3 controller.
But i Have a XBox 360 controller that i use on my PC.
So, long story short, my question is: Is there any way to connect X360 Controller to my HD2 to play with the FPse emulator?
Thanks to all.
Unfortunately, no, there is not.
The reason you can use a PS3 controller is because it uses bluetooth for connectivity, whereas the Xbox 360's controller uses a proprietary 2.4 GHz protocol.

Damn...i was really hoping to use it...
Thanks for the information
Theoretically it is possible, look here for project Xbox360 on USB Port on android. Thanks to Rick_1995 you can have USB host working on HD2, look here
Wow...will see immediatly...thx

Has anyone found a bluetooth game controller that works?

PS3 ones require a supported adapter, as well as wii motes, most made for android tablets require drivers that microsoft can't find.
Has anyone been successful in finding a bluetooth game controller that works with any adapter and has drivers readily available.
Works with what device?
I am yet to find a bluetooth radio which will not pair with a wiimote or PS3 controller.
If you're talking about windows 8 rather than RT, you shouldn't have any problems using a regular bluetooth gamepad. IIRC a wiimote doesn't function as a regular gamepad as such, but you can use other software like Girder to make it work that way. If compatibility with games that expect to see an Xbox 360 controller is your problem, search for "x360ce vibmod", that works great for me with my generic bluetooth gamepad.

Is there any way to connect a PS4 controller to the 6P?

I have tried through bluetooth and the phone is unable to pair with the controller. Is there any other way to work around this issue and connect wirelessly? Also will a USB-C OTG cable work with the 6P?
I haven't received my 6P yet but on my 6 I use sixaxis controller with my ps3 controller. Not sure if ps4 controller does native Bluetooth gamepad or you need to use the app.
Use this to set the parent address to your nexus 6ps bluetooth mac address (you can find it in settings->about)
http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/tool.html
Then connect it as a standard bluetooth device.
Unfortuantely after 30sec it starts lagging terribly
So I successfully got the ps4 controller to pair over Bluetooth without adjusting any settings. It wouldn't work at first but it added it as a device. Then when I tried again the next day after restarting the phone it connected.
you have to hold PS button and share at the same time until you get the flashing white light.
However, the triggers mapped weird for games and there is lag.
Does anyone know of a way to fix the mapping without root?
I also successfully used the OTG cable with the ps3 controller. This worked a lot better this works a lot faster then the Bluetooth ps4. And the mapping is correct.
Haven't tried usb to ps4 yet. UPDATE
So ps4 over otg also has some mapping issues. Tested this out in minecraft settings since you can customize controller mapping. For some reason on ps4 some buttons didn't seem to me recognized, everything was weird, like r2 was labeled as a button and triangle wasn't showing anything.
Tried to connect ps3 via Bluetooth but couldn't get it to work
