Best controller app for switch android - Nintendo Switch Questions & Answers

Considering one of the perks to having Android on Switch is the fact you can use the joycons to potentially play games.
I own a GPD xd plus - and its controller mapping app worked quite well. Same with the owning the portable nvidia shield android device. (Switch is easily the best one out of these, though).
But without a good controller mapping app I'm thinking we're not utilizing Switch to its highest potential.
Has anyone figured out a way to get a good mapping app to work? Could the gpd / shield one be exported and used?
Any help for this would be highly appreciated .
Thanks!
(Just realized this was probably best in the questions forum? If so, can it be moved there? - Sorry!)

there's joy enabler app, but its subpar, right now, the of the switchroot lineage os ara aparently working a new version, with android 9.0, wich should fix the analog problem. otherwise, you could try a pro-controller or a xbox1 controller

No as it doesn't connect through Bluetooth but through the Joy-con rail which isn't supported.

I found the application "Octopus" to be very useful and managed to make compatibility a lot of more games on the switch.

I’ve tried several apps and this one works best. I am so grateful for your recommendation. Thanks a lot!

Dont know if anybody is familiar with XMBC but what iam looking for, well found but for iphone is a remote control app. There are some out there but i really like the look of http://remote.collect3.com.au/ . Its the GUi i like. Any body know of something similar for WM
Cheers
Take look here. This is working on MY tp2.
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=68330
And here are the latest SVN's for the old XBOX.
http://t3ch.yi.se/
@purple8:
There's quite a few out there; also one called XMOTE. Pinged the dev and he informs me that he's working on a update which will also support the Apple iPad - suggest dropping him a note indicating your interest ... might motivate him further.
@mike2nl:
Have you tested this on a Gen1 XBOX with XBMC (ex: XBMC-SVN_2010-08-31_rev30587-T3CH) with a large audio library?
Keep us posted on the developments of this ... awesome find!
Been looking for an XBMC Remote for quite some time which would allow full control of XBMC without having to be in front of a screen. The Web GUI is fine but lacks much functionality - primarily because no one has really put time into improving it.
Cheers,

I think GRemote Pro has XBMC support. The free version might have it too, not sure. It also works with VLC, WMP, WinAmp, Boxee, and more. The GUI has options for gyroscopic mouse control, trackpad control, keyboard control, number-pad control, media remote control, joypad control etc. The Pro version isn't freeware, and the GUI is different, but it's a sweet app. Connects over WiFi or BlueTooth. There's a client that goes on your WM or Android phone, and a server that gets run on your home computer. Hope the info helps.

Zeemote Support For Android?

Before purchasing my N1, I saw a video of a Zeemote playing nice with Android promising full support 2 come. I've been hunting around and can't find any progress on this. I have my Zeemote working great with my TP2, thanks 2 a program I bought with a modified version 2 support WM. I searched the same site and only found Bluetooth keyboard support for Android. http://www.mymobilegear.com. Anybody heard anything?
Hi .. I just got a zeemote controller too but I only have 2 windows mobile devices. I've been looking for drivers desperately but havent found them yet. Can you please provide a link to the page where you purchased the wm modified drivers pls? I really want to pair my zeemote to my pocket pcs but havent been able to do so yet (no drivers). Pls help me
It is currently still in beta, but the developer is planning to release it to the market very soon. Both the zeemote and the bgp100 gamepads will work with it. I am a beta tester and can confirm that these bluetooth gamepads do in fact work with this software. The name for the beta software is "Gamepro" but not sure if he is planning to call it something else on the market. The website is correct, mymobilegear.com, look in "GamePad Driver Support Forums"
downloaded the drivers, they work great!
Thx for the info, I found the drivers that you mentioned (gamepro) and they work like a charm with the zeemote!! I will definitely purchase the full version of the drivers, since the beta keeps popping a reminder msg. Gaming on my HD2 just got a little bit more serious.. lol. Touchscreen is great but with the zeemote I can do a bit more hardcore gaming that i wasnt able to before (for ex in Megaman x (snes using morphgear) running and jumping while charging the laser..!)

[Q] Snes9x ex and Sixaxis Controller - 2 players using ps3 controllers

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anyone had any luck using 2 PS3 controllers in SNES9X-EX?
Is it possible to bind keyboard buttons to both player 1 and 2 within the emulator. Posted in the SNES9x forums, but they seem pretty dead.
Thanks!
Pietro
interesting thought. but i don't know how that'd work. I would like to know as well.
my idea is to use the first 12 letters of alphabet for controller 1 and next 12 for controller 2.
Since you can bind buttons in both programs, it should work. The problem I'm facing is that you can't assign the input of "Keyboard" to more than 1 player.
I stand corrected, here is an update from Robert Broglia
Right now there is one key map per device type, and USB controllers are part of the generic "keyboard" type. Once I get a host cable for testing, I should be able to treat them as a separate device with their own key config. Full per-player mappings are coming after that.

Yeah the main problem is that the utility just lets you assign different keys to the controllers. So there's definately enough keys on the keyboard for several controllers but snes9x ex only allows for 1 player to use the keyboard. It should be easy to just allow both players to use the keyboard as long as they are all different keys right? I wonder why this wasn't fixed yet. It is the best snes emulator I've found.. Just a shame about that limitation.
Don't know if this is the right place to post this.
But why had snes9x ex been removed from android market.
Catch ya later..

I talked to the developer and he said google removed it due to "Content Violation"
In my experience, both controllers work but they share the same buttons. So two player games don't work correctly.

Using Android Phone as a touch screen controller for M.O.J.O.?

Is there an app that would allow you to use your preexisting Android smartphone/tablet as a touch screen controller for the M.O.J.O console?
I am looking for something that would allow full pinch/pull/tap/swipe gesture functionality.
During my search I came across a great number of apps that turn your Android/iPhone device into a wireless remote control/mouse to control your TV or computer, but nothing that would allow you to use one Android device's touchscreen to control another Android device (M.O.J.O. in this instance).
Please let me know if you have any leads. :highfive:
interesting, quick search, i found these
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.im.RemoDroid&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tournesol.tabletremote&hl=en
I already try this app, but unfortunatly it doesn't work.
I use Droidmote.

The problem is that if you do not stream the picture back to the phone it can be difficult to know where you are placing your finger.
With my mapper you can stream touches or use parts of the of the phone touchscreen as different kinds of controllers that you can stream but, so far, I have not written multitouch to multiouch streaming.
If this is an scenario useful for some people I would add it.

I have a working alpha with this functionality. If anybody is interested send a PM.

Yes I think there would be a strong demand for this type of function as the number of devices increase per person. Sending the image back to the phone would be difficult and mapping it to known keys seems like the easier solution. If its possible, I would like to try your alpha. :good:
I uploaded a beta of the mapper that supports that.

I will pushing it to production very soon.
I'll try to make a video too to demo networking as well.

This is all on the play store for some days.
Remote connection to Android or PC streaming is available for months. The new thing is the multitouch to multitouch simulation.

Hey
Is controller emulation/spoofing possible with an existing controller ?
IE select a popular controller (ie supported by gameloft, etc) then you map buttons/keys/sticks to it..
Mobile gamedev's don't like doing controller mapping for some reason
Edit: the ctrlr works okay on gameloft games but not 100% same with GTA games

Dosbox Turbo - Mapping Triggers and Thumbsticks

Hi all,
This thread probably won't get much traction, but I'm pretty sure the developer for DosTurbo isn't very active anymore.
There are really two separate issues here:
1) The analog triggers are not mappable. The in-app mapper does not register them at all. I dug around quite a bit on this, and if I'm not mistaken, DosBox Turbo is really just an android port of Dosbox with some added features. Dosbox itself has it OWN mapper. Has anyone had success getting the triggers to work?
2) The thumbsticks. Now I don't know why the developer restricted the mapping here, but here are the options:
a) map a thumbstick to keyboard keys (like up, down, left, right)
b) map one thumbstick to mouse control, the other to "joystick"
You can only pick either a or b. No combination of both allowed. The problem with this is that I want one thumbstick to map to up, down, left, right and the other to map to the mouse control. You'd think (b) would work, but games without joystick support do not recognize the "joystick" so I'm stuck using the d-pad if I want mouse control on the thumbstick.
FYI, I'm trying to setup the controls of a modern shooter with Duke Nukem 3D. I am very close. The dpad control movements, the right thumbstick controls mouselook, triggers do nothing. I just want the left thumbstick to work like the dpad, and the triggers to work.
If anyone has any advice, please let me know. Like so much in the Android emulation world, things get so very close to perfect without ever reaching it.
Did you tried magic dosbox?

That was actually the first emulator I tried for Dos (free version). I found it confusing because at the time I knew nothing about Dosbox. Anyway, last night I bought the full version and yes, the controller mapping is 100% compatible with the Shield Controller. Thanks!
Also it seems the developer for Magic DosBox is active, unlike all the other Dosbox ports. The UI is kind of weird... perhaps that's why I was so confused. Runecrafting and all these other references to fantasy RPGs is an unnecessary layer to the learning curve. That said, the help documentation inside the app itself is quite good.
Actually im interested as well.. can you make make a small guide,link or something for this?
I only found things in russian..
