Playstation control question

Stupid question but has anyone tried a a PS2 controller with an OTG cable?
Also, if I do have to buy a PS3 controller, do I need to buy a seperate cable to plug it into the OTG adaptor?
Tack!

Hey there,
I'm not sure if the ps2 controller will work as all I have in house is deh ps3. I don't see any reason why not tho. Can anyone confirm?
In regards to the cable' as long as you have the micro USB otg adapter, then you can attach a regular USB cable with the mini USB(more rectangular shape looking, or like the one that charges the PS2 remote)) to the otg adapter....
(Nexus7)
Edit: I found this in another thread....... looks like the PS2 controller will
Work.
In order for a controller to work in games on Anrdoid, the controller should be naively supported from the OS?
Also, the Sixaxis app, is this only required for PS3 controllers over bluetooth? What if I get a wired controller that is said to be supported for the PS3; would this require support via Sixaxis, or Android?
I have some store credit for Walmart, and I noticed these controllers:
Snakebyte Sb00344 PlayStation 3 Wired Controller - Black (PS3)
Snakebyte Sb00344 PlayStation 3 Wired Controller - Black (PS3)
POWER A PS3 Pro Elite Wireless Controller
The first one is a wired PS3 controller. The other two rely on a wireless signal over a USB adapter. Would any of these happen to work naively on Android? I'm not entirely sure how the first controller interacts with the PS3 exactly over USB, but perhaps when plugged into a computer, it would be detected as a normal controller, and work fine? The other two may have less of a chance at working, but idk...
Edit: A PS2 controller through a cheap PSX-to-USB hub from Radioshack back in 2002 seems to work fine mostly, except the right analog stick is mapped wrongly in Dead Trigger (left and right go up and down, up and down goes left and right).

Don't buy the knockoffs

Hey guys, just wanted to ask, my ps3 controller connects via otg, the lights power on, however I cannot play any games with it. I'm not rootedyetbso I can't use wireless connection.

Please check out the sixaxis app for PlayStation controller, endless customizing and I can walk anyone through it if needed

I know I can use six axis for wireless but I don't want that just yet. I'm asking for a wired connection via otg.

[Q] USB Gamepad/Controller

Does anyone know of a USB gamepad or controller that works with the nook color? Preferably something with a D-Pad and Thumbsticks.
I have this, but I can't seem to get the nook to recognize it:
Frisby Dual Vibration PC Computer USB Game Pad Joy Controller
I connect the controller with this:
Micro USB OTG to USB 2.0 Adapter*
*BTW, I do not recommend this adapter because the microUSB part does not fit nicely in any device I plug it into. I bought 4 and they are all the same. I have been able to get thumb drives to work with this adapter so I don't think it's the adapter.
I am running CM7:
cm-7-20120722-NIGHTLY-encore
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

From a quick search on Google, I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459892
I never owned a USB Controller similar to that, so I can't really help you.
Or maybe instead of using a USB Controller, you can use Bluetooth? If you have a Wii Remote, or PS3 Controller, that would work perfectly.

For the PS3 Controller: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mdwaXhlbHN0dWRpb3Muc2l4YXhpc2NvbnRyb2xsZXIiXQ..

Thanks for the reply RoboticBuddy.
I had seen that thread before, but for whatever reason, I did not see that second post with the list of USB controllers. I have been able to get a PS3 controller working via Bluetooth, but I'd really like a USB controller so that I can use it on an airplane.
I'll try to get one of those controllers listed and report back.

[Q] Connect USB Device to Nook HD+

So I'm currently running Carbon ROM B6 on my Nook HD+. I was hoping to connect a keyboard via USB to the Nook HD+. In order to do that, I figure I'd have to get a female to female USB adapter, and plug in the keyboard on one side, and the Nook in the other. Before I buy a female to female USB adapter, I figured I'd ask if this would even work. To take it one step further, could this work with any USB device at all, such as a mouse, flash drive, PC Xbox controller, etc?

It works on CM10. I am not sure if Carbon has that feature but USB adapter is only a couple of dollars.

SOOoo, did this work? Was a long time ago, was wondering if anything came of the attempt. MANY would like to know. Thanks!

Yup, worked fine. I tested a keyboard and a mouse and both worked perfectly. I also tested an external HDD (Seagate Backup Plus) and was able to get that working with USB host mode turned on.

For the Xbox Controllers you should be able to use the normal xpad kernel module, I will test that when my USB genderchanger arrives

as far as I know, those commands like under debian should do it:
Code:

modprobe xpad
I will test it as soon as possible

I don't know, that depends on the electrical current it needs and reports to the host controller.
If a device is over that curent, the host controller will turn it off.

So if I buy a female-female adapter and plug in a usb stick I should to be to access the content i.e Movies?

Yes, but you need this apk installed on official cm builds.

Hi
I've downloaded this and tried it but my Nook HD+ doesn't seem to do anything different after I have enabled the program and plugged in a usb stick. I'm running a nightly build of CM11 if that makes any difference.

Then your USB stick needs a too high current, try it with an actively powered USB hub.

Check out http://www.zen24223.zen.co.uk/TPUSBUMount6.apk
The instructions are here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/33033-otg-usb-insufficient-available-bus-toolthingy/
plug in your usb device and "press fix insufficient power req" button. works like a charm for my ps3 controller, no usb hub in between the controller and nook required.

[Q] Nook HD: CM 10.1, Carbon Rom - Sixaxis not connecting to controller

Hello, I didn't see anyone post anything on this yet from either device (HD, HD+) but I haven't been able to connect a controller when on the 7/8 build of CM 10.1 or Carbon 7/7. I'm not sure if is an isolated problem or if there is known issues with bluetooth. I was able to get it working on Stock + root but much prefer Carbon or CM (Great Roms!!). If anyone has found a workaround I would really appreciate any advice or suggestions! :fingers-crossed:

Several of us have tried sixaxis to no avail. We can only hop this will get fixed at some point. I personally would love to see BT and the PS3 controller work rather than using USB. Time will tell.

Thanks for the reply. How did you get USB to work with the proprietary cable connection of the B&N devices?

Been a few days and wondering if anyone found a workaround or fix for this.

you get a small usb hub, and a female to female gender changer.
hookup nook usb cable to gender changer, plug that into usb hub pc connector end, plug ps3 controller
into it via usb cable. then change it to force usb host or vice versa. It's explained in the other Nook forum here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358535
I hate it, but it does work.
hoping for a blue-tooth working fix as well...

Still a lil confused but I'll check out that link. thank you very much

Recognizing my controllers
I'm using a ps2 controller with a generic USB adaptor. I set up CM 10.1 (awesome awesome awesome) and have a gender changer but no USB hub. When I do forced USB host, the controller lights up when I press the Analog button on the controller so I don't think I need a USB hub. How do I get the Nook to recognize it as an input method? I have done lots of research and tried the USB/BT joy center app and still my controller is not recognized. I also got a generic SNES controller and same issue. Is this because they are generic and there are no drivers for Android to recognize these devices, or do I just need a USB hub? How can I get an emulator to recognize these? Thanks for taking a look.

Wow yeah I have no clue. It would be much easier to just have sixaxis working. Otherwise I got to buy a bunch of stuff to get it working and carrying a bunch of wires around kinda ruins the portability factor of having a tablet in the first place lol

Was wondering is there any update on this issue as i would like to try out one of these roms but this is putting me of doing so

any updates? im yet to get mine going =/

you need to lean on the developers of sixaxis app.
It appears to be the only one not working.
I got tired of waiting and just got a cheap 20 dollar blue-tooth controller from gamestop (red samurai controller)
works great.

Anyone have luck connecting a controller through USB?

I tried connecting a PS3 controller through USB with no luck, it wouldn't recognize anything plugged it. Strange considering my USB flash drive works great with USB OTG on this device.
I was expecting plug and play. Anyone have any success connecting their controller?

As long as you use an otg adapter, the controller should work fine. My ps3 controller works wonderfully when I plug it in through a small otg cable....although the cable sometimes doesnt connect too well. Might just be a crappy cable.

Are you using the Stock LG Rom?
I thought I saw somewhere that the Stock LG Rom lacked the standard Android controller profile?

Yes I am. So with a different OS I should be GTG?
