Anyone using a PS3 Sixxaxis controller on their A500 under ICS?
Are we using this application:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...5ncGl4ZWxzdHVkaW9zLnNpeGF4aXNjb250cm9sbGVyIl0.
Or is there another way due to the built in ICS support for controllers?
So far that's the best way that I know of. I use it when I play MC3, 9mm or GTA and others. Look for profiles here at XDA or do a nice Google search for sixaxis profiles. You should find plenty.
The Sixaxis seems to work without the program. I went in while it was plugged in and set my input device to game controller and enabled it. When I plug in the controller I just press the PS button and it works. Well it works for Dead trigger which supports native controllers.
Its too late already spent the $2 on Sixaxis, but does that app do anything that the native android support doesn't?
A lot of games (Gameloft games for an example) do not have controller support built in. So whether you need it or not depends on which games you play. The games with native support built in handle it much better than having to use the app, but on the ones that don't, SixAxis helps.

Ok cool, just wanted to make sure I didn't waste my 2 bucks.
Not at all. You will really like it if you get some Gameloft games like Modern Combat 3. It's pretty sweet playing the game on a big tv via hdmi while using a wireless remote. Just be sure and if you buy their games, get them through the play store. You'll get to install the games over an over when flashing different roms. If you mess with Gameloft directly you'll have less than a good time sending emails back and forth. Don't get me wrong, they always fix the problems and toss in bonus stuff for the trouble. But it's so much easier to just hit the play store.

Ohh I've learned already about them. I have a ton of their games on Xperia Play but I had to buy direct from them because they made specific versions with Play controls enabled, the Google Play store versions wouldn't work. They've since stopped this practice, but they had done it on purpose to gouge people who bought the "gaming phone".
Mine works with out anything extra on GTAIII. I hate though that the controls are mapped wrong and that you can't remap them. For example, Square is X. Doesn't seem to be a GTAIII problem as using the controler to navigate the home screen does the same thing.

if you have sixaxis installed i can easily make or show you how to make a button map for gta3 and any other games it is really piss easy.
say like left analogue stick, you just select left analogue stick from menu and drag-n-drop it to where you want. same for button square, x, o , triangle...,,,,etc
I am using the sixaxis program and it works great. I too put off spending the $2 dollars and wish I had bought it sooner. Other than the few emulators I have needed to be told to allow for the controller to control the game even though it would allow me to assign buttons. No lag or other problems with the nes, snes, and genesis emulators that I have tried.

THat worked fine...thx
Hey, I was hoping for some help pairing my Acer A500 to me PS3 controller. I have bluetooth on and search and I push the PS button but they don't seem to find each other. It is also paired with the PS3 as my backup or player 2 controller.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Edit: Well I got it to work, I had too root and install Sixixis and I can now use my ps3 controller wireless. Root took all of 5 mins. Now I need to test it out.
I will test with a CM rom, I hope it works

I have been researching this all day... Is there any way to play minecraft on the nexus 7 with a wii classic controller is something similar? if so. What app or settings do i need.
Thanks
No. Unless there is a cable converter to usb for wii classic controller.
There are many ways to get the wiimote and classic or sixaxis or the Logitech line of controllers to work with Android.
Some games have the ability to map controllers and others don't.
First the wiimote will have to be tested to see if it can even attach to the N7.
You can download wiimote controller app from the playstore and see if it attaches properly. Bluetooth is requires on the tablet/phone.
Now that app is simple enough there is another app that goes to extreme lengths to give you lots of options. USB/BT Joystick Center 6 will allow the largest selection of controllers/keyboard/mice to be used in lots of fashions. This app will need the Joystick2Touch add-on to allow touch inputs for other games that you cannot map to. It sets up the controllers in the same fashion the sixaxis app does for the sixaxis controller. There is also other apps and controllers like Bluez IME and Gamepad Enabler that allow other controllers to have very narrow but perfect support with little fuss on setting up. But as I said Joystick center covers all that but you must take some time to get it all to work.
Now what you can do with that is limitless, but I must tell you have tried.
The problem with some games is they have to much dependency on the touchscreen. Minecraft is one of those. I was able to map the walk, but not the look around. Also anytime you entered a menu that had lots of choices, i.e. inventory or a chest, there was simply no way to map all the spots so touching the screen was the only way to make it happen. I have asked the devs to add directional pad support for those areas to that moving the d-pad would move a highlight around to the different boxes. I also asked if they could add support for joystick looking around. I never received a response.
There is also a new controller on the market called Moga. It looks promising, but again support stems back to the developer of the game and whether they can be bothered to work on it.
So in short, yes you can control lots of games and apps with controllers, you just have to take the time to maps them out, but once you do it is a joy to play Android games on the big screen!
For now it doesn´t matter if it only works with certain combinations of Stick and Smartphone/Tablet
I just want to know if it is even possible.
With Control I mean that I can see the same screen that runs on my TV on my Phone/Tablet, because I am thinking about buying a Nexus 7
and those stupid things don´t support Video output in any way
Hopefully somebody can answer me this question
As always i´m sorry for my bad english :cyclops:
I use the mk 802 III remote free from the play store to control my unrooted mk809. Works fine. If your stick is rooted, then droidmote on the play store also seems good, but I've not tried it yet. For this one you download a server app on the stick (paid) and a free contoller app to your device.
You don't get a mirror of the stick display on your phone - it basically turns your phone screen into a touchpad which controls a mouse pointer on screen - similar to a touchpad for a laptop. The only thing for the mk802 app is you need to keep switching modes for operating the pointer and operating a scroll function. Easier to do than explain, and its fine once you get used to it.
There are also remotes for xbmc if you decide to go that route (and why not!) which are a bit easier to use with that app.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
DroidMote, is not only a keyboard, a mouse, a multi-touch touchpad and a real controller with six axis and 16 buttons, with DroidMote you can play also with all multi-touch-only games even if you don't have a touch screen or your device is hooked to the tv
And with the last versions you can use also your hardware controller via DroidMote Client to play all multi-touch-only games
DroidMote Client control Android, Windows and Linux

Wondering if I can play The Amazing Frog? on my android phone. I acutally have the game installed my main concern is the controller support.
Would it be possibly to connect my ps3 controller to my phone and assume that it will config the buttons automatically.
Is this possible or is there a different way?
Thanks
Huh? Are you playing on the ouya? Do you have the game installed on your phone or ouya? You could try using your controller and reporting back. If it is something about your phone, then you should post there.

Google my friend..... sixaxis
If you are using a phone to play it then dpad or analog stick will proberly work but not the buttons,you will need USB/BT Joystick GOLD to configure them but if the app is only for Ouya then chances are that you wont know what button to press cos there is no touch controls so you need to find out what button on the ouya controller presses what key.have a look at my post and you will see what i mean.
Hi all
I just wanted to let you know that you can play all the Ouya games on your MOJO :laugh:
Every Ouya game seems to work very well or even better than on the Ouya. If you use the CTRL, some buttons seem to be mapped wrong, but this is not a big problem, most of the games can be played. If you own an Ouya, then you can even use the Ouya controller on the mojo, where you do not have wrong mapped buttons.
The only issue is that you can't buy the full version of the games. But most of those games are free anyway. And all of the games are free to try. This way, you can play 500+ great games on the MOJO :good:
Visit the following link, where you can download APK's of all Ouya games, then sideload them to your Mojo:
ouyalytics.com
At the moment, my favorite game to play on the MOJO is the following:
ouyalytics.com/app/589-Killing-Floor:-Calamity
Have fun! May the MOJO force be with you
EDIT:
I didn't test enough games last time and it seems I had a few lucky punches in the first place. After a few more tests my opinion is this:
1. Not every game works with the Ouya controller
2. Only about 10% of the games work with the CTRLR controller
3. Every game runs on the MOJO without crashing
http://ouyalytics.com/app/589-Killing-Floor:-Calamity/
Wow amazing!
I'll be checking that out for sure!
I'm sure the ouya launcher can be installed, letting you also pay for games.
The irony is really funny
Thanks for letting us know!
You are welcome
I actually did try the ouya launcher, but it didn't work. It crashes when starting.
I tested a few more games and for now it seems like about 30% of the ouya games work with the CTRL Controller. Maybe we can share experiences which games work with the MOJO controller? Let me start:
Killing Floor: Calamity - works like a charm, but L2 and R2 are flipped and also DPad up and down are flipped
KNIGHTMARE TOWER - works like a charm, no issues
CANABALT HD - works like a charm
Another remark:
The Android internet browser seems to crash if you are on the overview (or search-) page at ouyalytics. So what I do is to search on google for a particular game like this:
ouyalytics killing floor
Then you can pick the first link google offers, where you land on the page to download the game.

Thanks again for the ouya tip!
I found it so easy to install emulators from:
http://dayoftheouya.com/a-list-of-all-known-emulators-for-ouya/
Which all support controllers and doesn't require switching to mouse mode, the UI is controller friendly
I installed these:
N64: Mupen64Plus AE
I start with the OUYA layout and change the D-pad and Z trigger button.
Easy to map controls, works well.
Roms must be .z64
Configure the graphics plug-in using the 10th Anniversary option, works the best.
Actually plays better then I expected! most work fine including FPS, I noticed driving games not that good.
SNES: Snes9xPlus
Works well, create a new profile and set the CTRLR.
Roms must be .smc
If you don't know which to get, I can recommend the .emu ones, easy to setup.
NES: NES.emu
Sega MegaDrive/Genius: MD.emu
Or just install this (haven't had time to try it):
http://dayoftheouya.com/ouya/retroarch
Includes most Sega/Nintendo consoles, Doom/Quake & PSX
Setting up the emulators,I recommend connecting at least a mouse to configure the controller.
All 8/16bit games I've tested run at speed, I haven't tried PSX yet.
When I get time, i'll make a vide and show it off.

I can confirm NES.emu, SuperGNES, GBC.emu, GBA.emu, DraStic, FPSE, NEO.emu, MD.emu, PCE.emu, SAT.emu, PPSSPP, and SuperN64 (A branch of Mupen64).
All work flawlessly except PPSSPP (doesn't support the D-PAD at the moment, and sound is laggy). Also, DraStic is really wonky because it models the DS touchscreen....Works with a mouse, but that feels strange to use the controller and a mouse....Then again, it's sort of like using a Wii. Heh..
There is an app market which contains only free and open source apps and games. I found it pretty useful for the MOJO. There you can also find all the emulators and every app/game you downloaded will be updated automatically
Here it is:

To map retroarch controller,
So if you click the bug guy, settings, input device, and switch to ouya, the cntrl works perfect with all rom games.
Start button does not work on some roms and the mouse mode is required to push start.
Mojo is not listed in the list of devices.
Madcatz USB PC was listed. Haven't tried it yet.

yeah i gave up on retro arch because of the controller mapping... Didn't like it.
I use the .emu emulators start with the ouya config and check all the buttons, some need fixing but its very quick and easy.

I'm going to send retro arch programmer the mojo button coordinates so that he can add mojo to the list of devices.
they also need to add a "save input device" feature, otherwise you have to change the input device for every game.

That's true and it's mapping setting isn't that great, but yeah good idea, they'll need the hex code for each button, which is here:

Is this all so that the Ouya version of Retroarch will work?
Why not just keep it simply and use the android only version?
Is there a benefit in using Ouya version over the one I mentioned?

yes, that's the one I've installed.

It's UI is controller friendly, where as the android version is for touch devices I guess... but I'll try the android version also

The reason I mentioned the android version is that's what a mod suggested over at the official forum. Yet, he isn't familiar with this device and I'm not sure if the touch device limitation will affect that port. It shouldn't.
That said, should I be worried about the lack of touch screen insofar as the emulators are concerned? I mean, I should still be able to use FPse or other similar emulators like N64 AE, just map it to the controller or use PS3 controller if nothing else, right? Curious to know if this is the achille heel of this console.
Honestly, I'm pretty happy with it....After all the troubles I've had, I still play on it daily. I have all my console games on it and all apps properly map the MOJO. I've gotta wait to root mine until I get the proper cable, but I'll probably switch to using a mouse and the PS3 controller.
I use all the emulators. They all are fine without touchscreen. Mouse mode on the controller works just fine to navigate menus. Don't worry about that aspect.
The only flaw I'm seeing so far is that there are so few people who actually bought one...Which means there won't be many devs to adopt the system and create custom ROMs or OC kernels. I always seem to get in on those things that few people actually use...The A700 tablet, for instance...Or the Asus Slider SL101...Yeah...Bad choices when it comes to customization (when you don't know how to do it yourself, I mean.)
I'd love to work on a ROM, but I have neither the time or the knowledge to do so.
Okay, I thought of another flaw (which has apparently been fixed through root): Lack of accessibility to previously purchased apps and games for the MOJO. At least the OUYA has their own market and made no claims that you could access what you've already bought (which MadCatz did). That's a bad thing...Very...Very...Bad.
