I've been playing it for about 30 minutes now, using the wired xbox controller makes it SO much better vs trying to tilt the xoom to go where I want.

Go to Google and type in Slideme. Download that market (you don't need to sign up to download apps). I ended up picking up Gensoid, Gameboid, GBCoid, Snesoid, Gearoid and another one for free. The dev who makes those apps is yongzh.
I have all of them. Hopefully that helps.

Just in case if you are not aware, Modern Combat 3 is on sale for $0.99 on Android Market. This game is suppose to be compatible with Bionic.
---Mod, I was not sure which section of the forum I am suppose to post this topic.

Pretty good game so far! Also recommend going with Sixaxis controller so you can use it to play a crap load easier! Also hooking it up to the big screen via hdmi and using the controller is kinda awesome!

I didn't think any gameloft games supported Bluetooth controllers, I tried a few a couple months back and they weren't compatible. I did find a controller called phone joy that's a dualshock knock off that supposedly let's you play any android game with it but it cost almost as much as a dualshock and has a long back order.

The sixaxis app can be set to emulate an actual screen touch. You can make a touch profile that has the X button on the controller register as a screen press to the specific area to fire. Pretty spiffy. Makes GTA3 fun as hell too! Does require root... But if you're on this site that's likely not an issue.

GTA 3 says it supports Bluetooth controllers such as the dualshock 3 and wiimote but it doesn't work with my dualshock 3. I'm using "sixaxis controller" from the market, it won't let me update though because it says I haven't purchased it yet even though I bought it about 3 months back right before I had my t bolt replaced with the bionic. Is there any other app that may work better (I know it worked just fine on the t bolt and should on the bionic but I'm not sure if is working correctly)
What are you using to remap the controls?

The new version/s of SixAxis have the ability to set touch profiles. The game has nothing to do with the compatibility.

Gamepad with best support

Thinking about getting a Gamepad for my Nexus 10. Which is the best solution? Sixasis seems to be well known but do I need to setup every single game to work with this or are most games with Gamepad support working out of the box?
Another question is the root requirement. Since at the time only main user get root I assume the gamepad then are useless for all user except main user?
Maybe another gamepad solution is the better choice?

I love my nyko playpad. Works perfectly with the vast majority of games I've tried it with ( Dead Trigger, GTA 3, N64/SNES emulators, Need For Speed, Shadowgun, etc...). No root required either!
Just DON'T install or use their Playpad software. It made it so my playpad would no longer pair and I couldn't fix the problem until I did a factory reset. A quick Google search revealed that many Nexus 10 owners had the same problem.

SteelSeries is the nicest looking controller I've seen, Googling 'SteelSeries nexus 10' brought up an article about it and the reviews seem great. Kind of expensive though.

If you don't wanna spend any money you can download Bluetooth controller from the market and use a another android device as a controller assuming u own 1 of course

Got a PS3 controller laying around? Use the Sixaxis app in the market to pair it with your tablet. I've used a few different gamepads (bluetooth and OTG) and this is my favorite by far.

I would also like to know some more input on this. I have the sixaxis app and a ps3 controller that I used on my N7 when I had it. I will admit getting it to work with games like GTA3 or any other app that uses a touch input seems to be kind of a pain in the ass. I am looking for an easier solution one that doesn't require me to root or mess around with any on screen mappings or configurations. It seems like the gamepads from gamestop have software that sort of does that for you.
Does anybody know how well these work? I am american and I'm lazy as hell. If I can buy a solution for only 30 bucks and have it work for games like Shadowgun, GTA3, SNES etc without having to put too much effort beyond saying button 1 = jump etc then I would prefer that.
I would like to hear peoples opinions on this though. The reviews on gamestops website don't really offer to much and I just want a good solid, reliable easy to use controller that doesnt require me to root but if someone can point me out to a good easy to understand site to manipulate the ps3 controller and mappings I may take that into consideration. Otherwise any other reviews on controllers would be helpful as well.
edit* I also would like to not use a usb OTG cable. I'm looking strictly for bluetooth.

Read my post about the Nyko Playpad above. Any game with gamepad support (including the ones I listed) will work swimmingly with little to no effort.

Thanks for all the tips. Tried BT controller from play store. Did work good with emus but did not get any function in dead trigger.
Is gamepad just supposed to work in dead trigger because I didn't found any settings for configuring the gamepad.

I picked up the samurai controller from GameStop and it worked flawlessly with all the games. Synced right up to the n10 like a boss. Good build quality and has the option to act like a gamepad or a keyboard. Some games require one or the other.

Probably not your ideal solution, but I use a wired Xbox 360 controller along with USB/BT Joystick Center 6 and, if playing a touch-only game, I use Joy2Touch Server from the same developer and set up a profile. Yes, you do need to set it up with every different touch-only game. With emus, you only need to set up your desired button layout once.

I'm interested in this setup for playing Heroes of Order and Chaos. It uses a virtual d-pad on the screen. Could I make the gamepad work with it?

+1 for the PS3 controller + Sixaxis.
It will work without any setup (other than starting the Sixaxis app) for games that have native gamepad support. Games like these include GTA III/Vice City, Shadowgun, Virtua Tennis, Sonic CD, Riptide GP, etc.
For games that don't support the gamepad you have the option of creating a touch profile. It truly is very easy.
And for those that are super lazy, the website http://www.sixaxisofpower.com/ is a community with user submitted touch profiles for various games.

Sounds like the solution I am looking for. I need to buy the controller then
But one question which is quite crucial. Is it only main user with root who can use it or if it's installed in system maybe the needed files will be accessible by all users?
Oh one more.... The newer Dualshock are they Sixasis compatible or is it just the old ps3 controllers that are usable?

Yep, it's pretty easy to set it up for a game that uses a virtual D-Pad/buttons.

Hey guys, do you need a special cable to first connect the PS3 controller to the phone\tablet or will it work just by pairing them up over Bluetooth?
Cheers,
M

You will need a mini usb cable the first time to pair it. After that it will pair automatically.

Great! I think I had one of those that I use to charge the PS3 controller using the PS3 but I wonder will it fit into the port on the Nexus 10??

PS3 controller has a mini USB port, but the Nexus 10 uses micro USB (there's a difference; micro is a bit smaller) :/ But if anything, a USB OTG cable is like $1 or so, just might take a while to get to you depending on where you order it from online, and retail stores would probably price it at $10 or something lol

Yes,
The mini USB connects to the controller, the other end of the cable will be a standard usb connector. You can connect it to the nexus 10 with an OTG adapter.
If you don't have the OTG connector, you can pair it through your pc using the sixaxis pair tool:

You forgot to say u need root to use sixaxis

Epic gaming controllers

so ive been doing a lot of research on all the different bluetooth controllers that are coming out...im thinking about getting one as well as an hdmi cable to use my d3 as a dedicated gaming console when im home. so i found these
phonejoy play- looks promising
http://www.phonejoy.us/
phonejoy analog- not as good as the hopeful concept above
http://www.phonejoy.us/shop/phonejoy-analog/
Ps3 controllers, wii. xbox 360, and onlive universal controller (i think this only works with the onlive app)
Great reviews for this one
www.powera.com/moga
So which one would all of you recommend getting? The first 2 mentioned support more than one controller for multiplayer through emulators. im a bit on the broke side and most of these are really pricey. do any of you know if the generic ps3 bluetooth controller works with the sixaxis app? also anymore of these that i missed?
I missed one, Green throttle, i believe this one also supports multiplayer
http://go.greenthrottle.com/products/
however this one wouldnt really work for me because im more of a QA than a Developer

Check sixaxis controller in the Play store. There is a free compatibility checker. If it works you can use a PS3 sixaxis controller to play games. The program itself costs around $ 1,50 ( 1,29 EURO for me). Small investment if you already have a PS3 controller lying around.
I take it there should be similar programs for Xbox/Wii.

Yeah xbox is only supported on 3.1+ and I'm still on gingerbreadand I unfortunately don't own a ps3
I wish I could use my vita, that would be pretty sick

Don't know which games you want to play but you could take a look at the 8-bitty. That one's $ 29.99. Some emulators support the 8-bitty. But I have no idea about support in "regular" games.

Mount
I believe there is a mount available that goes over the keyboard and just presses keys, which is cheap

This is a pic of the GAME GRIPPER I had for my og droid. It worked well for what is was but one of those bluetooth controllers that looks like a ps3 would be friggin sweet.

This one is by far the most usable controller where you don't look like an idiot when using it ^^ http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/852638998/impulse-game-controller-and-key-finder-pocket-acce

Very nice find. Kinda small though.

There's at least one free app on Google Play that'll let you pair multiple Wii remotes. If you have a Classic controller w/ dual analog, or want to go head-to-head in MarioKart64, that might be a good option for you. They're also slim and easy to pack along, plus if the batteries die they're standard AA. A couple Wiimotes and a modded Lapdock and you've got a pretty good portable emulator console.

Game Controller?

Hi everyone.
I use my Nexus 10 for TONS of things, and one of them is playing emulators on the go. Very very cool stuff.
To any of you doing that, what kind of controller are you using? Bluetooth? USB?

Ps3 controller with 6 axis controller app. Its the best imo. You can also find mappings for the more popular games and emulators online or make your own.

just got the Snakebyte iDroid for $25 and it is awesome. Works great with all the emulators, I have been having a blast playing Zelda 64 lately. You don't need an app to use it, my son uses it on my wife's iPad without issue, runs about a week on one charge, what more could you want?

Ps3 Controller, or the MOGA PRO which is what i have and i LOVEEEE THIS FREAKING THING SO MUCH
