Thanks

Those games don't support controller functions. (I tried)

You need the sixaxis app from the market. it takes a lot of work with the screen tap emulation to get it just right, but it is well worth it. I play modern combat 3 with my ps3 controller, so it should work on anything.

Ya I have been screwing with sixaxis and a Sony branded ps3 bt controller. Finally got my own used one. Paired it up and with some touch mapping I can play gta very well. And about 9mm and Nova I'm still testing profiles for each but was able to play both with my controller. Just tested a few basic functions like anolog stick left and right and some other controls. Hows MC3 I'd like to try it. So far I'm fully set for gta and am working on 9mm and nova2 mappings, and I'm going to map air attack HD, madden 12 (if do able), NFS shift, and NFS hotpursuit, would like to do mc3 as well. Waiting to find the perfect settings for the buttons...

How hard was the touch mapping? I'd like to give this a try. I could buy the non dualshock controller since I doubt vibration works anyway.

Gta supports ps3 controller without touch mapping. Fyi

Not really hard at all. I did airattack HD last night and the tricky part was setting it to relative touch and getting the anolog button sensetivity right. For gta I noticed it worked without touch profile but it wasn't controlling right so I did one anyway. I have started on 9mm and Nova. Should be done with those Tonight after work.

Ok, I don't own a PS3 gaming console, so I have a stupid question.
Do I just need to go to the store and buy a bluetooth PS3 controler, or is there a off brand one that works well also?
Thanks!
EDIT: something like this I suppose... http://www.google.com/products/cata...a=X&ei=IpcUT5zUM8HgsQKFs4DsAw&ved=0CHgQ8wIwBA

Pretty sure off brand ones will work but I know from experience the Sony sixaxis works great. Used ones can be bought on ebay for around 25 bucks... or go New.

Will do. Thanks.

Off brand ones don't always work with sixaxis, might not work with gta. I bought and returned one before getting the official ps3 one. The legit ps3 controller works great wired without sixaxis, or wireless with sixaxis. Also, the ps3 keyboard works greas as a wireless keyboard and mouse.

Looks like the only "for sure" is to get the controller with the Sony name on it. Quick question for those that run this setup. The Dual Shock controller has the "rumble" does that work with the tablet setup? If not, I would hope to find one without the dual shock to save a little cash. Seems like writing the program to use the rumble would be a lot of unnecessary work.

Onlive

Downloaded onlive today and so far its just alright. the lag and graphics need to be fixed, i'm on 25mbs wireless n and it lags. I have also got my sixaxis controller working via Bluetooth and everything works except right trigger in dirts 3 and split second.
oh sweet it does pick up controllers, yeah the lag is gonna fixed or people might have overloaded the service today. totoally worth it for the free game

Well, I got it to work, and it seems ok, but I would like a higher resolution. Does it work with xbox360 controller or PS3?
I works with xbox 360 controler. For me there is no lags, but graphics looks bad. Waiting for updates - maybe they will do it better

is your 360 controller wired?
As for the resolution, I have noticed this since I have been using onlive for sometime. On my computer monitor it doesn't look that pretty, but when played on my htpc to my big screen looks amazing only time will tell they most likely will be fixing this soon.
On a side note I am having a wet dream were valve buys them
Im loving it. Installed last night and got up this morning with legobatman in my games! No lag here and i have crap broadband, with bt, Loads of games that i love for only a couple of quid! Game on ppl
P.S. xbox controller working for me, now i can play assassins creed revelations at work, llluuusssshhhhhh!
I dont have a 360 controller but i have read about somewhere and for sure it works.

I can use it with emulators, but in shadowgun I just spin. The driver program is probably worth a shot, if not maybe I'll just get a PS3 controller.

FOR GAMERS WITH ICS: aftermarket controller that works with games.

Dont know if many of you guys knew, but the glow wired controllers from gamestop works fine with ics.. tried my microsoft xbox 360 controller and official sony controllers and no dice..plugged in this controller and worked instantly.. gta, shadowgun,emulators, onlive etc and they are only 30 bucks. hopes this helps a bunch of pissed people who couldnt use gamepads like me on their tabs.
Is this the controller you're talking about:

If not could you post a link?
Thanks.
this ics release sounds more like a down upgrade.
No way I'm going to shell out more money when I already bought the Xbox controller just for the transformer (I don't even have a Xbox)
Yes that's it (second post) but I got the ps3 version don't know if it will make a difference.

I have no issues with my PS3 controller, once I connect the USB cord to the Dock and press the PS3 button.
However games like shadowgun play a little akward, so I setup custom keys using usb/bt joystick center. It takes a bit to configure everything, but once you do it works excellent.

Some apps like SNES9x allow scanning for a Wii controller via bluetooth. I just tried it with the Note and it works without a hitch. I believe all the NES.emu series of emulators on the play store work with the Wii controller this way.
I remember I had some lag with ShadowGun on my TF700.
I am convinced now that I made the right choice returning it for the Note.
Thank you for posting this.
anyone tired chainfire on the note yet?
I just tried a wired Xbox controller plugged into the Note 10.1 via a USB Adapter, with Dead Trigger, Didn't work, and i'm rooted , this combo worked well on my Prime and Infinity, I'm sure there's some kind of work around

How did you get sixaxis to work, I installed the app, paired with my controller, but when I launch the game it doesn't work, anything special I need to do, I'm rooted of course, thanks

With a lot of games you have to map the keys yourself to get the game to work with the controller, no game loft games work without changing the key mapping.
You can find sixaxis maps scattered throughout Google but they're normally for phones but if you download the key maps for the games then go to preferences and change the background, after you've taken a screenshot of the game on the 10.1 you can reposition the keys to your screenshot.
Look for maps by searching for nova 3.map and so on, there's a whole post with maps for the galaxy s3 on xda, just reposition the keys to play on tablet

Moga gamepad?

Anyone have one? Does it work with the nexus 4?
Im also interested in this. Anyone care to chime in if you have one? Hows the joysticks/controls when playing some of the top end games? i.e. GTA,Shadowgun etc... Thanks!
Works, it's just bluetooth. I personally didn't like the feeling of the buttons/joystick but I'm used to playing with xbox controllers so that's probably why.
I can confirm it works. I haven't played any of those games yet. But a buddy of mine is always showing it off with this Droid DNA. He has no complaints.
I got it for Xmas and it works 100% with GTA vice city, sonic cd, battle bears,

I recently got an Ipega gamepad. Some buttons didn't work natively at first but after remapping them with Game Keyboard they work great. I'm currently playing Shadowgun, Dead Trigger and GTA VC with it. It's much cheaper than the Moga too, at least here in the UK http://dx.com/p/ipega-pg-9017-wirel...-ipad-iphone-smartphone-android-ios-pc-172963
I have the MOGA Controller, it works with most games. I just really use it with emulators though. I actually got it for free back in December, all I had to do was pay for shipping.
I like the idea of the mount mainly. The ps3 controller is convenient but I don't own a PS 3 and buying the controller would eliminate the all in one portable emulator.

I've got a steel series free and I can honestly say that it's awesome and works with the Nexus 4.
It's tiny, I have medium-big hands and I can play on it comfortably, I honestly don't know how they did it, but I'm calling witchcraft lol. The battery lasts a good while as well. I've used it with numerous ps1 games on FPSe and haven't had any problems. It is a little expensive, but I think this is one of those cases where you get what you pay for.
A couple months back (I think around Thanksgiving), just before the Moga came out, they were giving them out for free! It came with Sonic, Pacman and Modern Combat 4. Runs great on Modern Combat. Seems like it only works with certain games though.
I've got one, it works. I paid $5 for it and that is right about what it is worth.
I'll add that if somebody could get the moga to work as a standard BT controller (so it could be used with emulators) it would be FAR cooler but AFAIK it is semi-proprietary and only works with "moga" games.

There's also a new Moga Pro coming out sometime this year. They updated the controller itself and it looks like an x-box controlled. I'm gonna be waiting on that one to come out instead.

Works well with the universal driver app, but I really had the joysticks. Honestly they're not really joysticks, more like sliders. And I think is too strong a word. I just don't like using it for FPS games. It works better for emulators, but in the end I could get a cheaper controller for emulators.

Thank you, again.
I got the Moga for Jet Grind Radio and it worked well enough. Very responsive, but I didn't like the feel of the joysticks. All the Moga ended up doing was making me get a ps3 controller and a Gameklip, which I fell in love with. Then this led to me getting the SlimPort adapter. So now i just play all my emulators on my TV, which is all kinds of nostalgic goodness. The only advantage I give the Moga over dual shock + GameKlip is that the Moga is more travel-friendly (not as bulky).

That's beautiful, there's no way I could justify paying £65 for it though
The more I think about it i might buy the ps3 controller and rig a mount to the back of the controller to hold the phone.

[Q] Gaming controller suggestions

So I'm torn between two options. A PS3 controller + gameklip, and the Moga Pro. Specifically with 4.3.
With our lack of a self powered USB OTG, and the recent changes in Bluetooth from 4.2 onward, what is the "best" controller to use with our N4s?
Rooting is not a problem. As most reviews of android game controllers revolve around not having to be rooted, and having USB OTG support.
I'm leaning towards the Moga Pro with its built in clip, and dual connection mode. (Bluetooth HID, and the Moga app.)
Anyone has experience using both controllers on the N4?
Edit: wasn't sure if to post here or in the Q&A forum. Since the question itself is about accessories. If a mod deems necessary, please move this thread.

I haven't use the Moga so i'm posting for no reason...ha
But I really do love the ps3 controller using an app by the same name from the play store. It really is great how you can image map and such. That being said, there is a Moga thread in this forum somewhere and you might get better results there. Id be interested to hear about the comparison though.

Yeah, the compatibility of the ps3 seems to be the best. The ability to map buttons to screen presses seems to be the best way to make any game work, whether it has controller support or not.
I've heard of lag issues of using Bluetooth and WiFi at the same time with the Moga, not sure if these issues were ever fixed or not. Are they present with the ps3 controller? I have unlimited mobile data, but reception is obviously better on WiFi than mobile while inside my house.
The main thing stopping me from using the PS3 controller is the price. Once I buy an official controller plus the gameklip, you're looking at almost $80 after taxes and/or shipping.
I've been watching craigslist and might start looking at local pawn shops to see if I can find a used ps3 controller at a better price. (Unlike GameStop which gives you a whole $5 off for a used controller)
Edit: and while i asked for opinions from those who have used both, I'm more than open to hear from those who have used one or the other. I just want opinions from people who actually use one of these devices on a N4 with 4.3.

hello my friend, i recently purchased the moga pro controller to play with my n4, and im absolutly happy about it, the control feels really nice in your hand, like really nice..i've been playing a lot mc4,riptide gp2, asphalt 8, shadowgun deadzone and a few more, and they all run perfectly with no laggs, i repit, 0 lagg xD... i've been playing some emulator aswell, using the moga universal driver controller, and it runs just fine , playing zelda ocarina of time on this bad boy is really awesome , i have tried sixasis controller, but for like 2-3 days, and it was ok, but u need a gameklip to play with, and the set up for mapping is a bit strange to me ( i dont know why) setting up the moga controller was not a problem, is really easy to set up.
i hope this help to you, if u have any question for the moga pro controller, just ask

I will have to check out kainy, that's one feature I loved about the nvidia shield. While the streaming app sounds awesome, I honestly only see myself using it with diablo iii. KB/mouse > controller for fps. Strategy games have too many buttons. Diablo is honestly perfect.
The phone will be the screen. I won't be hooking it up to the television. I'll wait for a dedicated device for that.
Gameklip is a ~$20 plastic clip that will hold your phone onto the ps3 controller. Much like the Moga will hold your phone. A little pricey, but from all the reviews its a very well made clip.
http://buy.thegameklip.com
For you it sounds like you need to sell the Moga and get a gameklip.

I had an Ipega, it wasn't great. Really want to try a Moga but they're still too expensive in the UK.
