DualShock3 controller with PPSSPP - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone tried using Sony's pairing system to play games using the PPSSPP emulator? I know I can connect the controller and play using sixaxis but I'm waiting to see if I want to keep this phone or not so I haven't rooted it for now.

just root it and try.
You can always flash back to stock with pccompanion to remove root and sony wont know you have rooted it

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).

Looking for wireless gamepad.

If you are rooted and own an play station 3 you can use the ps3 controller if you buy the app on the playstore.

The SixAxis app uses bluetooth to connect your Playstation 3 controller, I have it working on my rooted N7105.
Try the SixAxis compatability checker first to check whether your phone will run SixAxis

I have read that you can use a usb otg cable to plug a playstation or xbox 360 controller in to your phone but I haven't tried that.
There are also MOGA controllers that were released last month but there are limited games that work with the controller.
Another new controller is Nyko.
If you have a Playstation 3 controller and you phone is rooted then the sixaxis app is definitely the cheapest and best way forward.

Yeah, if you have OTG cable, Note 2 will recognize the ps3 controller wired with no additional software.

Another option is to use the free app wiimote controller in the app store to connect a wii remote via Bluetooth.. You can use the standard wii controller if you only need two buttons. Or you can use the Wii classic controller or Classic controller pro if you need a more PS3/Xbox like controller. My daughter had the Wii classic controller pro lying around, so I didn't have to buy anything. Its works fine on my Gnex and Nexus 7 (waiting on Note 2) with NES, SNES, PSX, and N64 emulators and some apps from the app store that allow you to choose your input method.

I have xbox360 controllers and from what I read it works out of the box with the wireless transmitter.
My question is does it work with normal android games or just with emulators?

Some games have controller support. A list of games that work with controllers can be found here:

moga, 8bitty, iMpulse
go to google and see which fits you. The other solutions mentioned are great as well.
I definetly tell that PS3 sixaxis bluetooth gamepad + "Sixaxis Controller" (~1,5$) with touch emulation makes every games compatible.
It's really amazing ! Trust me you won't regret ! ^^

No, it doesn't make all games compatible. There are some games that still cannot be matched due to how the controls are set up. I'll grant you a huge number are able to work, but not every game. Spreading overly optimistic untruths isn't helping the OP or anyone else make a good decision about which controller to get.
(PS3 controller + Root and Sixaxis is my favourite though)
Well i was maybe too much optimistic but despite the fact that the sixaxis ps3 gamepad have 'only' 10 buttons two joysticks and a cross to map on the screen .. i understand that you cannot play easily a game that have plenty of buttons ... But with the sixaxis controller software you can also enable mouse support (as for me i use the right joystick plus r1/r2 for left and right click) and i can assure you that you can play any game !
Tell me what game you cannot use with this solution ? I'll take a look for you ...

No, it doesn't.
Nyko playpad pro looks good to me. Ive been doing lots of hunting online for a decent gamepad myself. Moga, snakebyte idroid, nyko playpad pro. Are the 3 wireless dual analogue stick android controllers ive been looking at it seems there are advantages and disadvantages to all of them. check em out on you tube and see which works for u. It seems there all due to be released here in the uk soon if your in the usa there released already. The nyko playpad pro is available in sainsburys in the uk on the 7th of december for £44.99.
Android gaming and game controllers is work in progress there doesnt seem to be one to use with every game yet as the games themselves have to support controllers the controllers have apps which are supposed to let you remap your buttons for games which dont support controllers but this is not full proof yet.

[Q] PS3 DualShock 3 Controller

Greetings,
Thinking of buying a PS3 DS3 controller for gaming on my Xperia Z, viewing on my Samsung 42inch HDTV via MHL adaptor.
I have searched this forum and Google in general but cannot find an answer to my question.
Can anyone who has the DS3 set up with their Xperia Z tell me this..
As well as using the DS3 for gaming, can you also navigate the Android OS using the controller? Can you use it in non-game apps like YouTube, Play Store, Play Music etc?
Would be cool if I could :good:
Thanks
I had played it only for a while, just for fun and yes, I was completely able to navigate whole OS using DS3. I hadnt checked if it does work with youtube etc, Im guessing it does.

Fantastic, thanks. I just ordered my PS3 controller. Will be interesting to see if it can be used with the apps mentioned.

Recommended Wireless Controller for Modern Combat 4?

I'm getting tired of getting killed using the touch screen controls. Any recommendations on controllers to play the game? Thanks guys.

Yup - root+ sixaxis widget + ps3 controller is the best solution, especially for the amount of buttons the ps3 controller has. However, before I rooted, I got one of these on sale (not cheap otherwise!) and it's amazing for Shadowgun (haven't tried many other games with it however): http://steelseries.com/products/other/steelseries-free-mobile-wireless-controller
Amazing little thing, great feel and I'm surprised by the quality. Also, cross-platform compatibility (Android, iOS and Windows, for example). I had my doubts, but after using it for awhile... wow. Such a small controller should not perform so well!
HOWEVER: keep in mind that Android compatibility is still spotty with controllers, especially if you do not have root. You'll need a game that either explicitly tells you that it is compatible with the controller of your choice (ie. "compatible with Moga controllers" ) OR has some way to map controls manually in the game. I haven't tried your game, so check first. In Shadowgun and NOVA, for example, in game settings you're able to map buttons. So even without root, you can plug a ps3 controller in via the dock's USB port and map away. Or pair the Free controller and you're off.
If you DO have root, I think there might be ways to emulate touch controllers with root and sixaxis, but I haven't tried. Unless someone else can speak to how well this works? Theoretically, this enables you to play games that aren't even designed for controllers.
Hope this helps!

Sony remote play.

Has anyone tried and used Sony remote play
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/ps4-remote-play-t2929147/page231
Does it work well on our nexus 6.
I've used it. It works fantastic when you're on the same network as your PS4. They haven't made it work outside the home yet on Lollipop. Probably won't until Lollipop comes out for the Xperia phones.
I too have tried it, and it does work great!

Yep works great
works flawless after you set it up properly. I use it almost every day
Are you guys able to use the dualshock manager to connect the controller natively, or are you all using sixaxis? Do you still have to double click for R3 and L3?

How did you get this to work on the nexus 6
Thanks guys so am I right to assume what this does is allow me to a game on ps4 on my phone?. I thought it meant I could play all the free games as well, on psn. Wishful thinking I suppose.
