gaming controller for emulator

I was wondering if there is some kind of accessory for the optimus 2x, thats like a psx controller or something to use for playing psx emulator on
something like this for example:

could both be wireless and not, dont really care as long as its working good and not expensive

Hi,
Do you know any PSX like gamepad ( like this one http://phonejoy.weebly.com/buy.html as you shown in the video ) that would work with bluetooth and lg o2x (CM7) and that have a docking system to hold the phone on the gamepad ?
Is wiimote app restricted to wiimote or works with psx bluetooth pads ? Which app should I get if wiimote app is not good?
edit : answering myself:
App for bluetooth remotes : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hexad.bluezime
There is name of gamepad compatibles in the app description !

where can buy a bt pad for x2 in Italy or Europe ?

Where can I get a BT game pad on internet (or Europe)? I can't find any?

I am making one from a BT keyboard with a joystick shell, will try to post more when I get home tonight...

I remember reading somewhere that Wiimote drivers does not work on O2x. Is this true?
Has anyone tested the phonejoy controller on O2x?
I'm buying a O2x and want to play emulator games with it.
One idea is to buy a mini bluetooth keyboard and use its guts for a game controller.
Anyone tested this or some similar working on O2x?

Aren't there any good bluetooth gamepads that works with cm7?
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA Premium App

Lots will work with CM7 - Phonejoy, iControlPad, Datel Retro Wireless Controller, regular Wiimotes, PS3 controllers...

They work with CM7 and all the other GB roms, they do however not work with Froyo roms.

The wiimote drivers dont work with the O2X i tried the other day most apps for close and the others just dont conenct to the O2X.

anything new about this?
it would be great if somebody find a way to use a "ps-like" controller
.... or a cheap usb mini keyboard
best regards,

ps3 sixaxis controller works on miui (and cm7)

I tried playing riptyde with the WiiMote but there is such a huge input lag (it's way worse than the wii lag which doesn't seem to bother many people) that it is completely unplayable.
This could work for turn based games or something similar but even then it would bother me too much.

Wiimote app on Bionic?

Hey, I'm getting a Bionic in a few days, has anyone been able to get a Wiimote working with an emulator? My dad has a bionic, I got it to connect to the WiiMote, but the emulators (nesoid & others) aren't recognizing the controller.
If you have a Wiimote, please test it? It's free, here it is:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ccpcreations.android.WiiUseAndroid&feature=search_result
& Here's a lite emulator:
https://market.android.com/details?...EsImNvbS5qb2huZW11bGF0b3JzLmpvaG5uZXNsaXRlIl0.

I have been using Sixaxis on the market. Its only a buck or few and the controller is WAY easier to use then the Wii. Highly recommend buying it and (if not already owned) the controller. Oh, I think it still requires root. So if that's a problem then don't get it.

Ugh =*(, I hate the Playstation controller, the Wiimote one's not much better, & I would use the PS3 controller if I had one.
I'll just wait for CM7/9, I heard it modify's bluetooth & fixes the phones that have problems with it.

Yes, I believe Motorola botched something up with their Input Method handling. The Sixaxis Controller app uses a workaround called 'Bypass IME' to work on the Droid x2 and Bionic. Cyanogenmod does not suffer from this problem.
P.S. I'm working on an exciting update that might change your mind if you're interested in playing native Android games and not just emulators

What do you mean? Do you you mean an app that will add support for a controller in native android games, or do you have a game you're working on?

Modern Combat 3 is on sale for $0.99!!!

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

ps3 sixaxis & wii u pro controllers

First post, thanks for this great forum!
Wasn't sure if this should be posted here or in the Q&A forum so forgive me if I've misposted.
First, I'm sure the answer is yes, but are the sixaxis ps3 controllers still limited to rooted nook HD's?? I've done alot of seaching and I've seen ICS natively supports them so I was hoping it had changed.
Second, can the wii u pro controller connect to a stock nook HD through a wii controller app the same as a wii controller?
I've searched both these topics here and elsewhere without a dinfinitive answer so hopefully I'm not repeating a previous thread.
Thanks in advance!

So Sixaxis is supposed to work for a rooted Nook HD+? I haven't been able to get it working.

i have a dual shock 3 that works but you need to change the mac address of the controller first (via an app on pc/mac), then i used the sixaxis app from the play store to connect the controller. i'd be interested in checking out the wii u pro controller but i've been content just using the wiimote w/ the classic pro controller attached and it's working just fine for me, even if it is a bit clunky to carry all that stuff around. if you don't feel like putting in the legwork you could always just pay the $34.99 for a moga controller since it's probably the closest you'll get to an official android controller

You can a DS3 with sixaxis controller app on rooted stock 2.1.1.

Sorry its likely a silly question but Im thinking of buying a controller but Ive never owned a games console. Do I need a wired one or a usb, or blue tooth one to use with my nook?
thanks
