So I got the onlive viewer from xda a couple of days ago and today I got an email from onlive saying I got lego batman for free. I go to check out the website and what do you know, they released the real onlive app that lets you play games on your phone or tablet. Currently only tablets and some HTC phones work, probably because HTC supported Onlive with the app. The good thing is that the Evo can play games, and if the Evo can play these games than so can the Epic. As well they both have different bluetooth stacks that wont allow for the onlive controller to work but with CM7 that can be fixed, on the upside we have an actual keyboard and maybe they will add support for it. Just wanted to get the word out, maybe we can get an unofficial app apk here from some of the few who can actually get the app. It worked with the viewer so why not try it out with the real app. Anyways Onlive is a pretty good service and the SGSII is already supported so maybe it will just be some time till the epic is supported. For those of you who want lego batman, you can also just download the viewer and you will have it added to your games tab, but you still can't play games with it, I already tried
I was playing Batman Arkham Asylum and it was pretty cool..except I couldn't aim at all without a mouse (keyboard worked fine and tapping on the screen just spun the camera around like crazy).
Can you pair a bluetooth mouse with a (stock) Samsung Epic?

and just got the free Lego Batman and it works awesome with the touch controls if anyone wants to know.
You beat me to it! I was just about to update my thread on the OnLive Viewer app to say that it does games now. Unfortunately, as mentioned, it requires a keyboard and mouse or a controller to play games effectively. The OnLive website shows the controllers should become available tomorrow. $50 is kinda hefty but I get great 4G signal at work so I plan on playing some Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Red Faction on my breaks.
From what I know you can't connect really anything to an epic, something about bluetooth stack compatibility. It even states it on the website that most samsung and htc phones use different bluetooth stacks, I tried everything when I was attempting to play some emulators on my epic. I know for a fact that cm7 changes that but for stock I doubt you could even use the onlive gamepad. But when I say I tried everything I meant controller wise, didn't try a keyboard and a mouse, you could try but I don't think it would be that great. I just want some keyboard support for our epics, built in keyboard, then we could use the game grippers and everything would be great so anyone have that apk, or even a titanuim backup of that would be great.

I played dirt3 just now over wifi, worked great really...the on screen controls were simple enough in that game and steering was responsive enough to stay on the track.
Wait wut arkham asylum? Dirt 3? DEUS EX?
What is this onlive app?

There's some interesting stuff going on in the xperia thread:

I was checking out Saints Row 3 and I still couldn't move the camera anyone wanna mess with the game keyboard and tasker apps they are using in the xperia thread to see if you can use the epic keyboard as a mouse?
You can use sixaxis controller on the market to connect your ps3 control to your phone and in the prefrences use it as an ime. I tried it on dirt 3 works alright but seems to lag but I haven't tried it clocked higher than 1Ghz so ill see if it works later. Still have to use the on screen keys to navigate thru the game.

I am really hoping for Borderlands support soon. That would really make my day.
I enabled Facebook integration on onlive (i already had an account before they had the app but I still got Lego Batman for downloading their Android App.)
I don't like the integration, it's exactly what it sounds like though. The minute I get on onlive, it let's all 400+ of my Facebook buds that i'm being a geek playing video games on my cell. Lol that doesn't quite look good with the ladies.. -_-
I played saints Row 3. Eh. If you don't touch the screen, you can play it without messing with the camera.

Or is it possible to use games with the physical keyboard?
Only one that I know of is the quake 3 port for android.
Here http://code.google.com/p/kwaak3/
The dev would have to include that functionality in their game unfortunately, nothing we can do on this end. But, you can play Playstation Games using the FPse emulator on the market, and that lets you map buttons to the physical keyboard.
There's an app coming out (out already maybe?) for jailbroken iOS that maps bluetooth controller input to touch regions on the screen.
Basically it takes input from the controller and passes it as if someone had touched the appropriate control area.
Not sure if something similar is doable within the Android system.
Trying to find where I saw this recently, will provide a link to clarify as soon as I do.
E: BAM!

Something like that would solve the issue in question.
This would be cool for emulators. Sometimes its hard to play games with onscreen buttons on emulators for me at least.

Personally, I've found that the Desire Z keyboard isn't ideal for playing emulated games. Better than touch screen for sure, but not ideal.
Bluez-ime + a wiimote is my preferred choice.
Replica island supports keyboard too, can be found on market.
Ozzy's Odessey is controllable with the hardware keyboard. I found the game very enjoyable

Thought of developing something similar hundred times, but there were problems (can't remember which exactly.. Nice to know that if it has been done, it's possible to do it!
INC by OrangePixel is also playable using the keyboard
Turbofly 3D is great to play with the keyboard!
Greetings ivifly
You can use your physical keyboard with emulators. I use it for my snes.

Rooted w/ S-OFF
Current ROM : G2Slim 1.6
Radio : 26.13.04.19_M.
So far I've found:
Cordy,
Spectral Souls (configurable layout, I assume Generation of Chaos does that too),
Zenonia 4 (weird layout but playable).
other games too
Games like gta 3 can also be controlled through an external keyboard.
Sonic the Hedgehog 1 uses WASD and some odd key for jump (I forget which) on my Desire Z. Not really tried many other as I'm not really a gamer.
I just wondering in forum and found that topic.
Very nice physical keyboard working on all rogue like games , angband etc.
The best experiance with physical keyboard.
I find that the Desire Z keyboard is rather nice for gaming. It's just that the keyboard layout isn't parallel like normal keyboards so using WASD is pretty difficult.
games using physical keyboard: Andrio's World, Ozzy's Odyssey Trial

What does that have to do with the statement "It's just that the keyboard layout isn't parallel like normal keyboards"?
Is there an app that can convert the Xperia PLAY into a Bluetooth game pad? I have tried tablet remote and this doesn't quite work. I am looking for something that will make my Xperia's controls mappable on another device in games like dead trigger. This maybe a bit far fetched but I think this would be a cool app to have.

You could always just, well, play Dead Trigger on your Play. It's a bit far-fetched but it just might work
Joking aside, I don't think so :S

I heard BTController can do it, but I don't know if it transfer the hardware buttons as well.
Use BT Controller. The developer created a fix for our circle button too. I use my Play as a controller for emulators being run on my Asus Slider.

yea hopefullly somebody can tell us how to do that. i gave up on trying to configure the touch pad and went straight to FPSE which already configured :silly:
Go to ControllerX => Set "Pad Type PSX" to DualShock => Go to controllerX again => Controller X Map axis => Make sure that gamepad ID is xperiaplay => Analog Range - Circle => Left stick X - AXIS_X, Y - AXIS_Y; Right stick X - AXIS_RX, Y - AXIS_RY.
Done. Game must support DualAnalog/Shock controller.
Theoretically must work(i havent games, that support DShock).
Yeah well now Epsxe Does not recognize any button inputs. I give up.
But dude, seriously thanks for your reply
FPSE is a goot option if you need the touchpad fully working.
EpsxeE is good but didnt find a way to make the touchpad work, so sad n64oid dont support touchpad

Epsxe has touchpad support. You have to enable it yourself. Touchpad support is better on epsxe than fpse.

does it work on gb and ics or just one of them?

on GB.
In my opinion Fpse offer the best touchpad support and Epsxe its more fluid. I dont like how they implemented the touchpad in epsxe...epsxe sometimes it lose the button and doesnt press like it should (example on crash bandicoot and mosts of games i found it hard to play with analog when character use to walk instead of running)
I know it gets annoying to keep covering games but psx (the ps1 emulator built into the play seems to give me best response with touchpads as well as smooth gameplay. I don't really play ps1 games very much though so those who play them a lot might prefer the emulators

Hello everybody! In my first thread I already would like to ask if anyone have experienced similar things on Xperia Play. I have SonyCM 10 Final installed, as well as LuPuS_zeus_jBv13-full and after that I found out that some games that should work properly with my touchpad... well, they don't. I got Metal Slug X and 3 installed, Pocket RPG, N64 and SNES emulator, and they work flawlessly with my touchpad. But I installed games like Chaos Rings and Eternal Legacy and they do not recognize the touchpad. Well, those are Xperia Play optimized games, but I read that they had already problems when playing on android 2.3.3+. So is there anybody that experienced same problems? Or is there a fix of some kind?
Also I applied the O button fix, but the 'keypad-zeus.kl' reverse itself to default values (back instead of button B)... WTH?
And btw - is there any update for the things I have 'onboard'? I included screenshot (it's in Polish, but it's pretty clear) of the things I have.
Ask - if I missed something, I'll gladly answer! ^^

I recently got a play.... I couldn't get the touch pad to work at all in cm7 (shame coz im a fan of cm7)
Im now using gin2jellybean ROM and the touch pads work fine on all the games iv tried
I haven't tried Chaos Rings or Eternal Legacy tho
Still nothing... It's kind of sad that there's no workaround or solution for this problem... I can't play many games because when I press Square or Triangle, the X button is virtually pressed as well...

Yeah, and it was a no-go... I'm even thinking of reversing to original android 2.3.4... but is it worth it even? I'd love to have 4.1.2 and play game normally, without lag or multipress issues...
