Game Grip

Hey. I just saw that game grip has a request form for requesting what devices they should make it for.
I submitted a request for the X. I was hoping if we get enough people to request one maybe they will produce it.
The gamegrip is a controller addpn for android phones.
Here is the form

I did as well but then I saw how the product is made. It is just plastic that goes over a physical keyboard. Since the DX does not have that I would not count on getting one.

Wii controller works perfectly fine. If you need the extra buttons you can plug the super controller into the wii stick.
Its nice because you dont have to block any of your screen while playing.
Edit: Could you imagine something covering your screen that give you the ability to use all the SNES or PSX buttons. That would not be enjoyable.

I wish we could get a PS3 controller working with it. That way you have all the possible buttons, without having a device plugged into another.

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not to mention the fact that most people who are into roms, etc are more likely to have a ps3 than a wii

It would be nice for some one to develop an add on that snaps to the bottom of the DX and plugs into the micro usb port. Its nice to have a hold of the device instead of trying to prop it up some how.
BUT having a ps3 controlling the device streaming HDMI to my tv would be SICK.

for what reason would ppl more likely have ps3? wii is easily modded to play roms, ps3 only just last week and is very expensive.

A little off topic, but I really don't see how you'd be more likely to have a PS3, I am into playing old Nintendo games, I can run them all on my Wii. I have a PSOne and PS2 but no PS3 and could care less about emulation on that system.

XBOX Controller and OTG help.

I've been at my brother's house this week and today I told him about the OTG cable that I have on the way from China (Might actually be at my house by now, but since I haven't been home since Monday, I won't know until I get back.) that I can use to hook crap up to my XOOM. He said that he might have one from an old Nokia, and sure enough after some digging around in his office, we found the sucker. I hooked up a mouse, keyboard and his DSLR and all of them worked fantastically (The DLSR/Gallery thing is AWESOME!).
Anyways, we just tried to hook up an XBOX 360 controller to play some old Nintendo games (RIP Market *oid emus. You will be missed.) And...It doesn't work! I've looked all over XDA and the internetz and it seems that everyone else has been able to get theirs to work without issues.
The controller is a rechargable wireless controller with a wired USB cable (The one that charges it and also lets you play plugged in to the USB on the XBOX). So, is this the wrong kind of controller for this? Should I get a regular wired XBOX 360 controller?
XOOM'd from the XDA App.

Most of what I've seen of people using the 360 controller on their Xoom involves the wireless USB dongle that MS sells. Can't say for 100% sure though since I don't have an OTG cable to test with.

Wrong kind of controller. The play and charge kit does not enable USB data transfer. I tried this before and found others on the web with the same idea that all failed.

doesnt work for me.it never sync with the usb cable. maybe it needs a special driver or something.

Wired controller only. Or wireless controller with PC dongle.

What games can you play on the Xoom with an Xbox controller?

Yeah. I saved mines in Titanium Backup and restored them. You can always get them by googling them. You can then go to coolroms.com to get ROM's or play your backups.

yeah I was hoping to be able to play games like pew pew 2, and gun bros but apparently the developers need to catch up on this feature, I imagining that in the near future more games will support this feature... i'm waiting too.

Bluetooth controller

Hey,
I'm looking for a Bluetooth/Wireless controller to play and emulate games on my 10.1v.
What's the best solution for now ? PS3, Wii, other ?
I want to be able to play without a wire and with a tool that is frequently updated (for better support). If it's not the right time (maybe some controllers have been announced), I'll wait as well...
Thanks !

I hear good things about phonejoy (http://www.phonejoy.net/product-description.html), however I haven't taken the plunge yet. Seems kind of expensive (after shipping) just for a bluetooth controller.
I did install the xbox usb module a while back and plugged in my xbox controller and that worked pretty good. My only gripe is having to plug in the usb adapter and the huge cord. So I am in the same boat as you. Still looking for the perfect bluetooth controller.

I've got XBOX controller but as you say...the wire is killing it for me. That plus that we have to buy that crappy USB adapator. Don't even know how does the Tab still stand when that port is connected.
What about the wii controller ? Any feedback ?

I use a PS3 wireless controller, works pretty well. You will have to "enable" the driver manually to connect the controller then you can launch your favorite emulator. You can find the driver from mkt place, but you also need to install the software on your PC to re-write the bluetooth mac address. all the buttons, joystick, directional pads, can be assigned to whatever key u want...
google "motioninjoy" for more info on the driver (sorry system wont let me post outside links...)

Thanks.
How would you describe it in terms of responsiveness/ease of use/app support ?

After some more digging, I think this solution works best :
http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/09/sixaxis-controller-android-app-makes-firing-off-hadoukens-easy-a/
There are a couple of vids on youtube demonstrating it, but it will basically take a dualshock bluetooth playstation controller ($20) and work wirelessly.
I haven't tested it out since I don't own the controller. I was about to buy one, when I realized that I spend most of my time playing tower or racing games designed for the tablet, which would not make use of a gamepad.

Thanks a lot. I'd be interested to know where you can get a $20 one too...

I've been using Sixaxis for a while now. It works great with no noticeable lag. I mostly use it for all the emulators. Fortunately I already had a PS3 so I didn't have to buy a new controller.

"Best" Controller Solution for Android

So, I helped my mom set up the 2600.emu Atari emulator on her tablet and I went ahead and bought it on my phone, too. It works great, but she has more trouble with the on-screen controls than I do, and I find them kind of a pain at best.
I'd like to play the games as more than just a novelty "look what I can do" kind of thing (if I can get it to work, I'd love to get all my old GBA and DS games on here, too - that would be so cool).
I've looked at those press-on joysticks, and they all seem to have so-so reviews.
I'm looking at separate physical controllers, too - like using a Wiimote or PS3 bluetooth controller.
I've searched, but I didn't find a dedicated thread. Just looking for personal experiences and what you've gotten to work or what doesn't work.
It'd be really nice if someone could make a super-simple bluetooth controller that's flat and the size of a slide-out keyboard. That would be perfect and great for casual players like my mom who don't really have room to carry around a PS3 controller all day.

There are a million different bluetooth gamepads and many are great. I believe some company just succesfully funded a kickstarter for a tiny gamepad that can fit on a keychain. Ps3 controllers are my favorite and have more.available.buttons than almost any other gamepad. Wiimotes are nice If your games dont require analog control or many buttons. they are simple to hook up, where the ps3 controller has more steps to it.

It's been a while, but I just wanted to say thanks !
The kickstarter you mentioned was the perfect solution. It's the "iMpulse" controller for anyone interested.

Thanks for the info!!
I'll look for it, because the wiimote solution is handy, but not as useful as it should.

Moga pro vs ps3 controller?

Which do you prefer? Never tried linking a controller before. Not sure which to purchase based on variety of games it can be used on, and latency between input.

Ps3, since it has an app, and also, because I don't know moga lol. I use ps3 controller and works perfect

Moga for someone who doesn't want to root. PS3 for one that doesn't mind rooting. I chose PS3 just because I have 3 at home already.

PS3 is much better all around.
Better control
Better response
Lighter
Lots of colors
Rechargeable
Maps buttons onscreen buttons
More durable
Better DPad
Feels better
It requires root is the only downfall. But if you're on XDA, that should be an issue.

Agree and disagree. I hate the PS3 triggers and the short nubs for handles. The Moga Pro fits better in my hand. The PS3 controller does have a nicer heft to it though.
Not to mention the Moga Pro has the built in clip for your phone, that's pretty sweet. Also the joystick nubs fit your thumbs a lot better (IMO)
Have you ever even used a Moga Pro? Because you seem really ill-informed.

There are more controllers being sold. For example the steelseries free, icontrolpad, and there are others around that connect with bluetooth

Yea but this thread is specifically comparing 2. The MOGA and PS3 are probably the most supported.
I don't have a Pro so I can't compare directly but rather listing qualities of the PS3 more then directly comparing to the MOGA Pro. I do have the original portable MOGA. I like the MOGA but I use my PS3 more.
I think the PS3 is also cheaper.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

Never used Moga but I use a PS3 controller with 4 of my devices. I love it, really awesome! I also use GameKlip to mount my phones on to my PS3 controllers. Works out great! Much easier just standing my tablets in a folio case for game play instead mounting them on to my controller. I wouldn't want the extra weight from a tablet in my hand while playing games. I'm not a little guy either, but that's a lot of unneeded weight in your hands in my opinion...
SwiftKey'ed from my '13 Nexus 7 FHD using XDA Premium HD

i have both the moga pro and the ps3 with sixaxis, and i like them both, now if you don't want to root the moga pro is a good choice because you can keymap any emulator and there are some games on the play store that are HID plus the moga game enhanced, now if you have root then the ps3 controller is able to do what the moga pro does and more, also i have an htc one rooted which i use the ps3 controller and a nexus 7 2 not rooted and use the moga and love using it just because its able to do what i want it to do plus i don't want to root the my tablet because is pure google and like it the way it is. so i would recommend to use what is more convenient to you. or what you like

AFAIK there isn't a Mac app to change the bluetooth address of your PS3 controller, is that correct? So you need to find a PC or dual boot or VM or something to setup, right? Also, for me at least, the PS3 controller isn't working on the HTC One yet (unless something has changed in the last couple of weeks).

Ah thanks yeah. I should have said there's no app with a GUI to pair it (since not everyone is comfortable with Terminal). Thanks for the heads up.

If you use the Sixaxis app, can't you just pair it initially using a USB cable, skipping the step requiring a PC?
I know the Ouya does this. Just hardwire it, reset, and pair wirelessly.
I thought the Sixaxis App can do this too.

I believe so, I don't have a OTG cable so I always have to use a PC

Id love for you elaborate your experience between the two.
Ive had the PS3 controllers for my ps3 but never used it on my android phone, and just got the Moga now. My deciding factors were,
Moga +
Better android support out of the box(almost all Gameloft support natively and many many games getting updated)
xbox 360 style and button layout, dual analog sticks positions are better
built in clip for mostly any size phones i.e. 3" - 6" devices, and yes note 2 does fit
long lasting battery and charge via any micro usb plug, unlike ps3 which need charging from ps3 or ac only
Dual connection mode(native or hid)
I would have over looked the issues on the ps3 controller but the moga was purpose built for android and with the built in clip and native game support was a no brainer. However I do feel at times the response is like 1/10 off so kind of annoying. But admittedly, i noticed the games that support native like gameloft modern warfare or crazy taxi, etc are near perfect. So who know this thing is just a few software updates from being even better.

It's been my experience with the PS3 controller that custom mapping all of the controls to get the game to work properly can be tedious. Although, with that said....it's also nice to be able to customize it however you want vs what is natively supported. Does MOGA allow this? I'm assuming not. Maybe someone can chime in.

Resolved.

I use the PS3 controller with the GameKlip and it works well for some games. While I am able to map the buttons and create custom profiles, I do notice the difference in the way the buttons work between a controller that is natively supported by the game as opposed to a touch profile created for the game to work with the PS3 controller. This could be just a settings issue, but for me the difference is very noticable. The one thing I love about the PS3 controller is the ability to use it with GameKlip. This setup is just awesome. I have the gameklip for S3 and Nexus 7 and gaming is the best experience with it.
Since you have the Moga controller too, do you know if there are any gameklip like solutions for Moga to mount the Nexus 7 on top of it? I think the default max width supported by the controller is less than the width of the Nexus 7. If there was a solution, i'd buy a Moga controller immediately. the amount of games they support is just great.
