This is the main reason why I ordered an OTG cable. Still waiting for it to ship.

Does the ps3 controller work with gunbros?

does the ps3 controller work with the emulators - nesoid/snesoid/n64oid/fpse/psx4droid etc. - that's the main reason I'd want a ps3 controller on there...

[Q] OnLive Compatible?

Was just wondering if anyone had tried the OnLive Android client on this? It's obviously not officially supported yet, but there is a fair chance that it will work.
Thanks.

Yes. No reason it won't. Even if it isnt in the market, just sideload it

Thanks, was just thinking that I hadn't seen anyone run it on JB, and there may be some compatibility issue there.
Would still like to see if someone can actually get it running. I am tempted to pick up one of the universal controllers if I am sure it works well with this.

im getting onlive for sure! i just need to find a good controller for my tegra hd games.

Thought I'd bump this existing thread since the N7's are in a lot of people's hands now. Has anyone had a chance to try the controller yet?
I'm interested in getting a controller for my N7 and until the Nyko Android PlayPads are released. Thought this might be the best way to go in the meantime.
Cheers,
Kermee

I have just sold a brand new controller on eBay as I had two sent and they didn't want it back ?!? Very accommodating are on live ... lol
Have not used my on live yet but the N7 run games (in app) amazingly well.
I think On live will work just as good

I've used OnLive on the N7 - works great. I haven't got a controller for it though.

Same for me using it right now on Nexus7 to play Lego Batman and its working great!

This is a patched onlive app that allows any controller to work by default. Like sixaxis pps3.

How are you using a xbox 360 controller when you can't connect it to the n7?

I had previously bought an official receiver so that I could use my wireless Xbox controller to play games on my Windows PC.
Now I just plug the receiver into a USB OTG cable connected to my N7. Just tap the button on the receiver and the connect button on the controller, and job done. You can use the Xbox controller to navigate and play games.

Thanks for that information I'm waiting on my cable and ill try my wired xbox control I've already got the patched apk installed

OnLive and the official universal controller works great.

OK, lets stop all these jokes.
Obvious answer would be:

but MacGyver would use NFC->Bluetooth 4.0 LE adapter

Use MHL 2.0 HDTV Adapter :good:

thanks guys appreciate your help
i saw few people using NFC to mirror phone on tv
i will buy mhl cBLE then

On the you tube video, there are times when you use a controller instead of the S4. Can you tell me what that controller is and how it connects to the phone? Where do I get it?
Thanks

even for last year 'highest' model of tv,es8000,screen mirror does not work,but streaming video is okay(from player you select output device tv and in a few seconds its there)
but this still sucks,better to use some stupid computer or android stick,or just your computer(tv as monitor,heh),smart tv my a**
i call this proof of concept,not working technology
or maybe purchase evolution kit...yeah,sure
(note that i don't have any adapter,i don't see any hardware problem there,and i'm not gonna buy hardware patch for software problem)

It's something my dealer put in as an aftermarket navigation unit. It's a Chinese unit that's distributed in North America by "Rosen Electronics". Model number is DS-HY1120-P11, special-fit for 2011-2013 Hyundai Sonatas.
That being said, any head unit with an AUX-in will work.

Controlled via the bluetooth keyboard?

yup, keyboard/trackpad combo.

Using openelec?
Same setup used pretty much here but without inverter.
Soon will add in a 2.5" HD to store some media without needing to connect to home media server.
Previous experience is that the HD generates noise, classic alternator whine.

No, using RaspBMC at the moment. I like OpenELEC but you can't launch a web browser with it, so I went with RaspBMC and the Advanced Launcher trick to get Chrome working. I've got the wifi dongle in the Pi and I just turn on my wifi hotspot on my cellphone and voila - internet browsing in the car
I've also got an NFC tag in the car that my phone scans (with the screen off, thanks to the Xposed hack on Android) which turns my Bluetooth and Wifi Hotspot on when I enter the car, and off when I exit.

That's pretty cool the nfc!
Only use openelec so its easier to store user data on usb. Help with updates and not rebuilding library.
Great through a stereo! Sub woofer, gun shots lol
15 years ago had an mini crt screen and installed that in car, then the n64 got added . Multiplayer goldeneye, bong mix lol. Those were the days :angel:

Just a third party mce remote. Will get a better photo and details when back from work.

Got it out of a place called maplin electronics here in UK. Cheapy mce remote that's all. But works well and has a little trackpad on it for mouse operations.

Do you have any reference material on how to get an MCE remote working with the Pi? Or, does it just work out of the box when the USB dongle is plugged in?

How do you deal with the engine startup?
does the USB Hub have some kind of safety feature that helps protect against overcharging, or does the inverter help there?
if so, do you have a link to that inverter? looking to do samt mod, but haven't found a safety feature to prevent overcharge during engine startup.

So you use the screen of the car to display stuff from your rasp pi? And you have a sonata? What's the screen resolution?

Touchscreen doesn't work, gotta use the remote. I'm sure there's a way to jack into the touch, but that's WAY too advanced for my limited skillset

[Q] Joysticks and other controllers

Hi.
I'm just wondering if it's possible to connect the PS3, Xbox 360 contollers or Mad Catz TE Joystick to it. Thanks.

Yes, yes and yes!

I confirm PS3 controller works a charm.

Hmm
Not to sound dumb, but wired only, or will any bluetooth controllers (like ps3) work also with the games?

TMK, everything wired 'should' work without root, anything wireless 'should' work with root and 'may' also require an app.

I think I am having a controller issue with my ctrlr. The right bumper doesn't click as well as the left bumper and is a little problematic when playing games. Been using a moga to compensate but that becomes a pain bouncing back between controllers. Anybody else seeing this issue?

Sorry to hear that. Submit a ticket - best to do it now if you're seeing a switch issue.
