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.

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.

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.
I got a nexus 7(not rooted) and a Logitech f310 controller, when i connect the controller it works on the home screen, when i launch grand theft auto 3, the camera spin around. is there a way to get this controller to work with grand theft auto 3?

Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
There is a known issue with the gamepad layout file that causes this. You have to be rooted to replace the file with the fixed version. It is not game specific as it effects most games and controllers.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
So after I root, how do I fix the game controller file, and where do I get the file.

I also would like to know the fix so I can use tablet remote app to use my phone as a controller for emulators. The app works with everything but emulators. I have tried keymapping without luck
Do a search for wireless xbox controller fix. Should be the same.

I got bug with turning when I turned "accelerometer" on in options ... it was without gamepad
I have recently rooted my phone and tried to use the sixaxis controller app to connect my ps3 controller.
I have tried to do this with two devices and have different problems, the first is my Gemini Devices JoyTab GEM10313BK tablet rooted and running jellybean which will connect it through USB but not Bluetooth, the second is my galaxy s i9000 rooted running cm10 which connects the controller through Bluetooth but gives no response when the controller buttons are pressed, if anyone has any suggestions I would be very greatful as I have been trying to sort this for days. Thanks in advance.

Wow if you will be able to use your Ps3 controller on galaxy s please tell me how, I liked to use one to for gaming on psx and on n64 emulators: )

Probably the easiest way is to do it is connecting the controller by usb to the computer, and manually set which Bluetooth address the controller should connect to.
There's a program for it I can't remember the name of...
@mintiicecream
There's an app or two in the market for pairing sixaxis and android devices in the market, it's quite easy, and it works.

Have you set up a layout profile in the sixaxis app? That's for the sgs that apparently seems to be connecting correctly; the app isn't plug and play.

I am thinking about getting the raspberry pi and load xbmc onto it. I will probably be buying a WiFi dongle. How do I exactly setup up the WiFi for the pi? Do I need to hook it up to an Ethernet port first or no?

Fortunately it's pretty simple to set up the WiFi on the RPi, all you have to do is plug the WiFi dongle into one of the USB ports and then connect to your wireless router WiFi network through XBMC and you should be good to go. You shouldn't have to hook the RPi up to Ethernet first to get internet setup. My other recommendation would be to check out this guide if you run into problems http://elinux.org/RPi_Peripherals and this list of WiFi dongles that have been tested and verified to work with the RPi.

Hi,
Setting the WIFI dongle up is fairly easy you will need to load XBMX onto your PI and boot this up with the ethernet cable attatched. Go to settings and find the PI's IP address. Write this down.
Plug your WIFI dongle into the PI also.
You will then need to download a program called PUTTY onto your pc or laptop. You should start a SSH session on the IP you have wrote down.
Login in using username:XBMC Password:rasperry
Once you have done this go into settings and find WLAN. Click on this and put the the SSID of your internet service provider and your PASSKEY. then end PUTTY.
Reboot your PI and hey presto your WIFI dongle will be working
If this helps please hit thanks. If you get stuck I have a youtube video with the SSH session on XBIAN (same thing) just PM me
Peace

So it is not required to book the pi up with an Ethernet cable first if I understand you correctly right?

Yes thats correct. Boot the PI up with the ethernet cable plugged in, obtain the IP from the settings in XBMC. Then on a pc or laptop do the putty SSH session using this IP and log in and enable WLAN and input the SSID and Passkey
Hope this helps
Also if I plan to use xbmc do I have to buy any licenses? I am confused about that as well. If so which ones?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Hiya. I believe if you use raspbmc which is a Linux distro there is no licensing, same with xbmx and xbian. I Do however believe you have to buy mpeg2 licenses.
Hope this helps and best of luck maybe post a pic of your finished pi project for us all to see I'm still tinkering at the moment but I would recommend a powered usb hub it has been my saviour the past few weeks.

Oh and something else that is awesome if you go for a xmbc raspbmc or xbian openelec etc.
Download an app called yatse. (for the record I bought the full version) this allows you to control the pi with your nexus I use it all the time just scan for the pi once your wireless working and do it from your phone haha

What exactly does the mpeg-2 license allow me to do exactly?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I didn't buy any licence and I have no problems playing anything. It would all depend what format your media is. Most of my stuff is h264 aka mpeg4. I don't think I've even ever seen a file encoded in mpeg2 as it is older and less efficient then current standards

If your looking to install Hulu on XBMC I would recommend taking a look at this guide, it involves mainly installing the Bluecop repository. For getting Pandora working I would recommend taking a look at this guide here.

You actually don't have to make the edits you can download the .zip file containing the edits already made for you here. Once you have downloaded the .zip file extract the contents and place them in your addon folder.
Suggestion: go on eBay and search for "ew-7811un". Save yourself a lot of headache and BUY ONE lol. It's an Edimax wifi dongle. It's tiny, and works with Rasperry Pi right outta the box, no setup required. You'll need a wireless mouse just to pick the router and enter your wifi password, etc.
Another suggestion: get a *powered* USB 2.0 hub, and plug it into the Pi. Use only one of the USB ports on the Pi, for the hub, don't use the other one. The Pi is severely underpowered, and the USB hub will solve that for you (if it's a powered hub, of course). Plug the wifi dongle and the wireless mouse into the hub.
Final suggestion: get the OpenELEC distribution of XBMC for Pi. It's AMAZING, especially with the ACE skin (which you can download right from the Pi in the Settings menu after installing - see attached pic). The only downside is that OpenELEC is a locked distribution, meaning you can't add repositories that are not listed as "add-ons" via the gui itself.
What I have is the above, plus a large external hard disk connected to my network via my internet service provider's wireless modem. Basically, it shows up as a network drive on any device connected to my wifi network. It allows me to download (ahem, I mean "purchase") movies, music, videos etc through my laptop, directly onto the network drive, and then instantly play them via the Pi as a SMB share.
Hope this helps.

anything with artheos chip should be fine, there are good drivers for this kind of dongle
You could also while on Ethernet download the Wifi Tool in the Raspberry XBMC repository and then you have a GUI for configuring your WiFi device within the XBMC interface as long as you have a supported adapter.
I appreciate all the responses about the wifi dongle but I have already solved that problem and got my wifi to work.
