Gamepads with Touchpad - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am fully aware that you can get a Official PS3 control pad to work on Android.
Using the USB method of contecting devices does anyone have a USB gamepad working?
Edit: If so which gamepads?

You can simply connect via Bluetooth

USB not Bluetooth

He's talking about using the OTH method, rather than the Bluetooth method.
As for any working, I have no idea, since I haven't made an OTG setup for my tablet yet. It's on my to-do list.

Yes I am talking about the OTG method. In my current location I really struggle to get anything so any advice on what I should buy to play games?

After checking all the threads I could find for those using various OTG setups, there do not seem to be any game controllers working that way. BT is going to be your best option here and there are several game pads that will work well with the touchpad.

I'm not sure specifically about the TP, but on my Nexus S, as long as you had ICS and a kernel that supported OTG, then there were a number of game pads you could use through OTG such as a wired 360 controller and some Logitech ones.
You can check the link in my sig for more info.
I'll try and test this out on my TP sometime this week when I get a chance.

Ps3 and sixaxis app

Anyone used this yet and can confirm it works? I want to play games on my TV
Thanks
Sent from my PG8610000 using xda premium
Install and run this. I know it works since i checked myself today, but hey, maybe you want to check for yourself. But yes it works on the Note.
Keep in mind that you have to be rooted and have Windows on your computer since you'll have to install the configuration tool.
Damn. That is a good reason to root... Any other bluetooth controllers work?
I can also confirm this works.
Other controllers that work: Phonejoy, iControlPad, ZeeMote (although Zeemote has too few buttons to be much good for anything).

Gamepad or controllers for dell streak 7???

IS there any gamepads that work with a WiFi only stock HC Dell streak 7 ? Or any xbox/ps3 controllers?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
I can say that I cant get my sixaxis to actually work with any streaks. After pairing it never actually detects it.
USB ones dont work as stock kernels dont support usb host mode.
Try a wiimote, mabye that'll work
Thanks I'll try, is there a video for the Wii one or a tutorial?

Yes you need to be rooted to use the sixaxis, I tried the compability checker tool and it says it should work. But after pressing the go button it launches but never actually does the final step of detecting my sixaxis.
Oh ok, well post about it if it works out

I got my sixaxis working, I use a HC rom from dj steve. One tip I have after you use the PC pairing tool to enter the BT ID in. Look at the local BT address that sixaxis says your system is. Not quite sure, but think it showed me a different one then the system about page did. Then it was working.

Game controllers

Any confirmed controllers that work with Nexus 7?
The PS3 controller will work for it.

But, does it require root? And does it connect through Bluetooth or USB?

I bought a ps3 controller but it refuses to urn on, even after a night of charging.
I don't own a ps3, yet I have heard that I need one to activate it. Any tips?

Pretty sure it won't work. Wireless 360 controllers do not send a signal through the USB charging cable. Only power. Same reason you can't use a wireless controller on the PC without buying the wireless transmitter thing that they don't make anymore.

Yup confirming this is correct. Didn't know they stopped making it, good thing I got one.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
They still make the wireless transmitter but you need to buy the controller with it.
Not sure if I'm missing something here but I've picked up a USB OTG cable today. If I plug in my PS3 controller it just flashes, I don't seem to be be able to do anything. What am I doing wrong guys?
EDIT
Ignore that, working fine.

Do games natively support controllers, must they be mapped, or do you need an app of some kind to get it to work?

It depends on the game. Dead Trigger and GTA 3 have native gamepad support, but NOVA 3 doesnt.
Sixaxis was updated last night works amazing as always. And dead trigger has native support for sixaxis?

Try this mapping from the S3 for NOVA3. Let me know how it works for you.
I can't remember where I got it from but it works great on my S3. You might have to config for larger screen though.

[Q] USB on the go

Is the USB OTG implimentation a full implementation?
Does it just support mass storage devices on USB2, or can you do anything USB with it like attach a USB2 hub, and then attach a keyboard, mouse, vga adapater, ethernet adapter etc.
I realize that appropriate drivers would need to be available in the kernel for the specific devices, however the key questions is the low level support.
One of the frustrations with my Galaxy Note is that OTG only partially works, like for mass storage, however the OTG USB driver doesn't seem to support USB1.0 or 1.1, and I can't seem to compile working drivers for the ancillary devices mentioned above, so I was hoping the T had a better support.
All I know is I have used Xbox remote and mouse/kb ABD also Mass Storage

Pairing a PS3 controller?

I have found a few older posts stating that you cannot pair the HTC One with a PS3 controller, but nothing particularly recent. I'm running the Android Revolution ROM that is based on Android 4.2.2. I also have a Wiimote and a Wii U Pro controller: I'd love to use any of the damn things on this device, mainly so I can connect the phone to my TV and play old NES and SNES games. Thanks in advance.
Still haven't seen any info. Anybody know how to do this?

I looked briefly into this about a week ago. Basically, we can't. I think there may be some ROMs out there that support the particular Bluetooth protocol we need, but Stock and AD 4.2.2 do not.

I tried doing this last week. HTC One can't pair with PS3 via BT. I tried it also with Sixaxis... and Sixaxis doesn't work with HTC One.
I did try the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Logitech Bluetooth Mouse on the One and they worked flawlessly.

That was on a sense based rom. CM roms work, I don't know about GE roms.
Thanks folks. Anybody know if a Wii U controller or other Bluetooth controllers will work? Mouse and keyboard are cool, but for old school games I want a controller.
