So..the Wiimote Controller app kicks butt...lets you play your nintendo games on your non-sense Android phones...anyone know of a project or app to get the 360 or PS controllers to work?
Well, the reason that the Wiimote works is because it uses bluetooth. I'm not quite sure what PS3/360 uses though.

ps3 controller too
I'd imagine they would be havoc to develop. Dual joystick use and 2 trigger buttons for a majority of PS3 games. Mental.
Sent from my Desire using XDA App
The Xbox controller uses bluetooth but it's not a standard bluetooth connection. Microsoft has changed it and made it non-standard so that won't work.

it is as of recently possible...the PS3 controller can only have the MAC address it connects to changed by USB (which an android phone does not have)...MotioninJoy, a pc PS3 controller program, just added a custom MAC address feature to his program so potentially the PS3 controller can be connected to the android
They got ps3 controller to work on windows mobile 6.5, cant be that hard to get it working on android?
well one can only hope..cuz the wiimote kinda sucks to play SNES games..not enough buttons! hmmm pondering a SNES/Wii classic controller..they have wireless ones on Amazon....
This would rock! You would need some kind of clip to attach your phone to the contoller though. I'm enjoying playing FF7 on my desire but the multitouch issue is getting annoying!
Would be awesome if the wiimote app would finnaly work on sense x-x i see really no point whats the problem with sense~

the problem is with the crappy bluetooth stack that htc have that doesnt work properly, so if you want it to work you need to get yourself on AOSP
Just a heads up, the 360 does not use bluetooth. Only the ps3 and wii do.
I've been reading that the new Transformer Prime supports Xbox controllers. I'm rooted with Overcome 2.something and want to know if I have this ability already. I also read that people have been using a USB dongle that Microsoft sells but I'd like something that is already built in to work. I also have a PS3 controller if that'll work, although I prefer the Xbox controller.
HDMI out and an Xbox controller = big screen NES!!!
since the xbox wireless controller uses a custom wireless protocoll, you can't use it without the dongle. You can use a wired xbox controller though.
I also prefer the xbox controller, but the PS3 controller is better suited for this. Since the PS3 controller uses bluetooth, you can buy a app on the market called "Sixaxis Controller", which allows you to use a PS3 controller over bluetooth with the tab. It's really awesome
EDIT: I also fine the PS3 controller better suited for emulation, because the dpad is in a better position for this.
is there anyway to do this without root? i read somewhere in 3.2 reenabled controller support for 10.1 i have a stock tablet and don't want to root unless i really really need to.
So, just to check, will the Xbox wireless receiver USB dongle work with the tab?

Wondering the same thing. I tried to connect the dongle to my Tab but my controller wouldn't connect to it (just flashed the green light, searching but no connection it seemed).
Is there a way to make the Xbox360 controller work if you connect the dongle to the Tab (or without it for all I care, just want it to work )
I just bought the 30 pin to USB and so far haven't been able to get a wired 360 controller to work but I am running stock so that might be the problem... If I were to root and get like 3.2 or something would this work?

You would need pershoot's kernel with the appropriate modules.

Which modules are the appropriate ones?
I feel like an idiot, asked this same questions (what do which modules do?) 3 or 4 times now, never got an answer... :S

I just did this, although I haven't tried it yet. Not sure what they show up as when connected though? Going to test it right now
Edit: Blah, the only wired 360 controller I have is a third party one, it showed up but I'm not sure how to use it. I tried the "USB/BT joystick center" app and it wanted me to make a driver by selecting bits of input data directly .
Re: Big NES if XBOX controller works.
Pick up a WII controller - cheaper and closer to the old school NES experience )
I was just curious if anyone had any ideas about if this would be possible. I know Sony recently released an update so one of their tablets could use it. Given the Fire's mini-USB port and the fact that Bluetooth is physically there, any chance we'll get to use a PS3 controller with Kindle Fire? I have never been into the touch screen controls for games like Zenonia. And I think being able to play it with a PS3 controller on Kindle Fire would be pretty sweet. I already did a few Google searches but couldn't find any information about this working.
Another great thing about this, would be that we could theoretically use the gyroscope in the PS3 controller for other stuff.
I'm still new to this scene so I'm not sure what all would be needed, but wanted to bring it up while I had it on my mind.

It's a slim possibility only if someone finds a way of getting Bluetooth to work, but even then it's down to someone to write the the code to make the PS3 controller function, and then the game either has to support it, or there needs to be a driver layer that can emulate the screen touches/gyroscope.
However, as currently the KF only supports 2 finger touch, and nobody knows if that is a hardware or firmware limitation, that might also be a show stopper.
An external joystick would be nice, but I'm thinking there are quite a number of hurdles to overcome first!
IF u had cm7 installed on ur kindle and they got the bluetooth to work then u could use ur ps3 controller on ur kindle as cm7 lets u use a app called sixxaxis which lets u sync ur ps3 controller with bluetooth to ur phone and u can play games on ur phone with ur ps3 controller. It works perfectly on my sgs2 running cm7

That is an interesting app for sure, never seen that before. It could be worth a shot if they overcome the Bluetooth limitation.
I might see if this works on my Droid, as I'm still skeptical about the button/touch emulation. However, it does have good reviews so it might be a good working solution.

I forgot about that app, but I have heard good things about it. If they can get Bluetooth then as you said, could be our solution. In fact, I'd think it'd make the process fairly easy after that.
After seeing Transformer Prime + Logitech F710 in action, how do we get the same from HTC One X? Tegra 3 was said to support all game controllers like PS3, XBOX360. Does it really work and how to do it so there would be no apps needed like sixaxis and no compatibility issues?
i bought a ps3 controller just for this, but as I sent my first HOX back because of backlight flickering and haven't received a new one yet I haven't been able to try it. I don't think it will work via bluetooth without something like the sixaxis app.
Cant get my ps3 controller connected with the Sixaxis app, the compatibility checker says I'm compatible, used the sixaxispairtool to change the master Bluetooth on my controller to match the phone but when trying to pair it just says no controller found.
There is a video on YouTube of it working on a HOX with stock rooted ROM but I'm using Coredroid.
EDIT
Scratch that, managed to get it working, instructions on the sixaxis devs website a a bit misleading. Makes Shodowgun so much easier
Is it possible to use the Logitech 710 with the HTC One X? If so, how does it work?
Hello, I've recently bought a PS4 controller and I successfully paired it with my phone but the problem is that it doesn't detect any key presses... I've tried the same controller on PC and another phone (running Android KitKat) and it's working fine.
Is this a software issue? How can I fix it? Have anyone tried this too?
Up. Anyone could test this with at least any Bluetooth controller? I heard that s10 had a similar issue and it got solved by an update.

Most devices just don't have the keylayout files for controllers. Unfortunately, there's no easy way to make them work.
If you have magisk, there's a module called 1controller which you can just install to get that file.
If you don't, I also have the specific file you need to get into /system/etc/keylayout, but obviously, you're gonna need root for that.
I'm having the same problem too.
can you please upload a link
my gamesir g4 works fine

The default connection via bluetooth using Playstation controllers doesnt work. Or it doesnt fully work at least. I have experienced it on my ps3 and PS4 controller. The only way a controller works is from a Bluetooth Controller made for Android. Or if you really want to use PS controller, you need an app called Sixaxis Controller.
If your phone is not rooted, the only way to do it is by using sixaxis and connect the PS controller directly via Wire. The sixaxis for the wired and wireless are different so dont buy it on the playstore right away
If you have rooted Access, then you can connect it wirelessly bia the sixaxis app.
Only then it will work as it should be.
The thing is, it actually works with my low-end tablet. So why not with this expensive phone?
Works fine with my Xbox One controller. Son uses it to play minecraft...

Wired or wireless?
Actually, after September update, I just tried to controller again and it's perfectly working through bluetooth.
Xbox One controller works fine via bluetooth, buttons are already mapped.

I dont know what tablet it is but it might be a feature of the tablet. Ps4 controllers have D-Input mapping while android works natively with X-input controllers. Xbox controllers work right away as it works under X-Input
Sixaxis converts that input to a readable input for the android if youll use a ps4 controller.
Edit: good that you had it working.
