Would it be possible to link a PS3 controller to our phone? The only problem I could see would be linking them up... But it would be badass for emulators!
I'm breathing life back into any old thread I can find that has this question. I just got the EVO 3D and once my mhl cable comes, I'm gonna be rockin the emulator over HDMI to my tv, and would LOVE to be able to just use my PS3 controller. We need to get on this STAT.
I'm willing to help in any way possible.
just use a emulator and download the Ps3 drivers to your pc,then if you have a pc with HDMI you can connect it to your TV.....why would you use your phone when you can run any kind of console with your pc...lol

Because I can't take my PC with me anywhere I go...
If I could do it through the phone I could play on my TV while I'm home, but also on the go anywhere that I have my phone, without having to export/import save files or play two separate games.
well...you will have to use bluetooth to connect the controller to your phone,the phone can't power that device on usb....

Yeah, that's the plan. Hoping to somehow link the controller for use with the phone. PS3 is tricky though because it requires a USB connection to a device in order to pair with it. I'm hoping to use a PC as an intermediary to 'introduce' them to each other and then it should (in theory) just be a matter of collecting/interpreting button press data and mapping it to the correct buttons in the phones emulator.
kinda old but has to be a way for Android.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH_NBKtj0R8

I'll check this out on my lunch. Thanks!
You are out of luck when trying to pair PS3 controller to Android. Can't be done at the moment.
Best bet is still the Wii remote (can use the classic controller as well) or purchasing a special type bluetooth gamepad off the net (just search Google and there are a few to choose from that do work well).

I'm sorry, but I refuse to believe that two bluetooth devices based on Linux can't somehow be paired. Maybe extra hardware needs to be introduced, and there'll probably be some reverse engineering involved, but if they can connect a wiimote to Android, and a ps3 controller to a windows phone, there has to be a way to make this work...

It may not be able to be done with the EVO yet but it can be done. I've done it natively on my Xoom with emulators many times.

That's awesome. That's the kind of encouraging thing that makes me believe this can be done. Perhaps there's a way to force the pairing with one of those cables and then wirelessly sync from that point on. Were you able to try that at all with the Xoom?

you're doing it with a cable though, so at that point its just a standard usb input device.

How about just playing the games that you already have on available on your phone. I don't see this ever working especially with sonys ****ty products.
this is also why I have all manner of game systems and PCs hooked up to my tvs/projectors:
I like being able to take phone calls or respond to text messages without having to exit my game....lol

True but I like the idea of taking the game WITH me so if I'm stuck somewhere bored with nothing to do I can pick up where I left off.

Pretty much I heard it comes down to being able to pair the thing with the phone. Maybe drivers too.
I'd say that, at least from a hardware perspective, all you should need is a wire that would plug into both of them. Haven't the slightest idea what you'd need from the software side though.

You have to use a cable. The ps3 controller may be Bluetooth but it uses a non standard protocol, rendering it completely incompatible with our evo's Bluetooth stack. People had to write custom drivers from the ground up to get the ps3 controller to work on the PC, but that jacks up your ability to use other normal Bluetooth functions (at least the last time I tried a month or two ago, it still did).

Instead of necroing a thread in the Evo 4G forums, how about posting this in the Evo 3D forums. I mean, that is the phone you have. Just sayin'.
I know I am not the first one to think of this but I was wondering if anyone is aware of development of a remote control/keyboard app for use with the PS3 and 360 (wii gets no love)? I would love to have the functionality of using my phone for both devices at home.
I was playing around with a remote play option on the PS3 and app called BD remote but it doesnt seem to pair the two. I got the idea after downloading pocket blu app and I was able control Inglorious Basterds via wifi. That in of itself was cool but I craved more control.
I dont write code so Im of no help here. I could try but I dont think that will be fruitful.

This should probably be in Q&A or Apps section, so try posting there next time.
As for your question, it would be virtually impossible on the 360. The 360 doesn't use bluetooth or wifi, and it would be virtually impossible to have a server application running on it anyway. Maybe if you hacked your 360, added wifi and did a lot of jerryrigging, you'd get it to work. PS3 uses both bluetooth and wifi, but I don't know if its possible to port applications to it without hacking. Again, I think the real challenge is to run some sort of server on the device. The app for your phone is easy, the server side would be really tricky. Don't have a PS3, so I don't know much about it, but 360 is definitely out.
Maybe this will give you a hint. I've successfully tried it in Windows.

Not the same as what you're looking for specifically, but Gmote and Remote Droid will do that.
Gmote is awesome. I love how it turns your phone into a laptop like trackpad for your PC.
I'm trying to figure out if at all its possible to tether with bluetooth to my Asus Transformer. I've search everywhere with no luck. Someone mentioned that the custom kernel with CONFIG_BT_BNEP should be able to tether via bluetooth. Does anyone know which kernel contains the "CONFIG_BT_BNEP" file?

what are you trying to do (like what kind of connection are you trying to get by tethering BT)? what OS is on the PC you are running?
I think he is just rubbing in the fact that he was able to get a transformer
Your mom uses XDA
i would like to tether thru bluetooth for internet on my tablet. Its running Honeycomb 3.0
Bluetooth tetherng
Did you ever get an answer to this? I also would like to know about doing this as well.
Thanks!
I was wondering if anybody was able to get a real fix for the Playstation Mobile APP.
I've tried flashing the certificate, manually changed the build.prop, reinstalled the app but still crashes when everything is starting to load up.
I am running AOKP 4.1.2....wondering if Jellybean is the cause?
Those that were able to have that app work, what rom is being used?
As always, XDA is the best and looking to pick some brains to get this working.
thanks

I've tried that....I am able to sign in but afterwards, crashes. I've done what was needed, just wondering if anybody can take a look on their S3 and see what the problem could be.
thanks in advance for any help.....

Mine crashes hard too.. Just download FPSe playstation emulator... Get some ISO's and be done with it..
it's just frustrating when something is just on the edge of working...and poof...nahh, we was joking...doesn't work.
I also have the emulator and a couple of roms but need to get a good controller for on the road....do you know any BT controllers that work with the S3?

gametel.se works pretty good. Doesn't have all the buttons that a real PS controller would, but still works for many games.

Buy a USB on the go adapter and you can hook up your PS3 or X360 controller straight to the phone..
I was just trying earlier with a USB OTG plug with a USB 360 controller. I can control the normal screen but it won't recognize within the game. Albeit, just dabbled with the controller...maybe trying something different, etc.
I am on AOKP build 5 OC'd with Ktoon.
I recently got my hands on the note 2, everything about it has been great except the issue that I've recently discovered.
The Note 2 does not natively support the Xbox 360 controller.Now I did some research and I could not find much info about it, so I thought I might as well ask.
I know the controller works fine on the S3 which was my previous phone, but on the Note 2 is a hassle to get the dumb controller working.
Native game pad games like Shadowgun, Riptide GP, DEAD TRIGGER doesn't give the option to setup the keys or even detect the controller.
Within the android interface the controller doesn't seem to function either.
With Joycenter, I was able to setup the keys for emulators, however the Gamepad supported games still doesn't detect the controller.
I was hoping someone could tell me a way to work around the issue I'm having.
Help?
Thread cleaned
No need for name calling. If someone has the answer they'll post it, if not, don't bump the thread. Have you done a search? I know I've seen it discussed somewhere here on XDA, poke around a bit and see if you can find the info.
don't quote me on this but i believe you have to go into android settings and enable the 360 controller. so go to settings - language and input - and while the 360 controller is plugged in make sure there is a check mark next to it like there is for Samsung keyboard and Google voice. again I'm guessing here as i have not tried this yet. my otg cable does not come in until Friday.

I have looked around of course, but everyone one suggested to use joy center if the controller isn't working.
There was a particular thread with terminal editing for the driver, but that didn't get to anywhere.

They are checked like always, and controller still isn't working.
I just tested the T889 and confirm it works perfectly on that.
