[Q] Full HDMI, now Dualshock 3?

So now that we have got full HDMI out, are there any devs looking into getting the PS3 controller working with our beloved EVO? I'm aware of the ability to use the Wiimote. I've also heard they have gotten the sixaxis controller working on maemo, another linux based mobile system, and supposedly there are drivers for using ps3 controllers on windows 7? Let's get some reverse engineering going on this bad *****, I know I would love to see this!
On a side note, thank you to everyone in the community, lurkers and active members alike, especially the devs who work day and night so that we can play with our toys to their full potential!

From what I remember reading in here somewhere it has to do with the Bluetooth stack(s) used on android, where the protocol* wiimote uses is compatible and the ps3 one isnt.
*correct me if I'm wrong people

Yes this would be excellent! But how long will it be before the market devs start converting their games to be compatible with such epicness lol!?
Seriously someone should establish this

Totally possible to get the PS3 controller working.
Would require a custom bluetooth stack, custom kernel with usb-host mode to do the initial pairing, then finally pairing it with the custom bluetooth stack.
See link for more info: http://www.pabr.org/sixlinux/sixlinux.en.html

This would really be amazing. The wiimote ain't that great for playing many emulators unless you connect a classic controller to it.
Cobaltikus said he'll look into porting his CobaltController (Dual Shock 3 for WM6) to android about one month ago, so it might happen soon.

Yeah, I wish Nintendo made a classic controller that was standalone with bluetooth (that didn't need to be tethered to a wiimote).

Datel’s Wii Wireless Retro Controller
This may be the only place to get it as Nintendo cried about it and the vendors then pulled it.

Would that one be possible to use with the phone (with the already existing wiimote-app, because I doubt anyone will make a new one for that)? If so, I might consider buying it.
Edit: Googled, and found out that it works! Can't link it however, due to my low post count, but it was the second result when googling "Wii Wireless Retro Controller datel".

[REVIEW] Phonejoy bluetooth gamepad - new video bluetooth multiplayer via MHL!

A little something for retro gamers (or just gamers) amongst us:
http://blog.clove.co.uk/2011/07/21/...phonejoy-refresh-dual-analog-sticks-are-a-go/
...and now N64oid updated to 2.4 for bluetooth multiplayer support!
http://www.androidnz.net/2011/09/n64oid-updates-to-24-multiple-bluetooth.html

Nice video.
I've already pre-ordered mine. Hopefully it will come soon enough.

Talking to Martin at Phonejoy it should be very soon!

i liked this concept, but it would have been a 'yes' from me, if only they incorporated a keyboard style controller, which we could attach to our s2 ;(

I got an email from the makers just a couple of minutes ago to say they are making one just like that (similar to the iControlPad, one that the phone sits within). Its presently in the design stages.

Wanna have one

Hope 2 see it soon ;-)
I already thought of making my own construction.

Clove have a pre-order going on these now, they need 50 orders by the 15th of August to go ahead (no idea how many they currently have). If you are keen its worth looking into.
http://www.clove.co.uk/phonejoy-analog-android-game-controller

Disappointing. So the 'Analog' sticks aren't Analog after all, hence running everywhere in Mario and the sniper issues you mention. Pretty pointless upgrade from the original then no?
Or is it that the emulators are just not programmed to understand the analog instructions?

£47?
Other than not needing a custom rom, how is this any better than using a proper ps3 controller?

It'll work with any HID supporting device - which at the moment is a lot more devices that you'll find with PS3 support.
True PS3 support is starting to get out there though - if you're on CM7 or MIUI you should be able to use a PS3 remote right now, since there is a software out that can do it (forget the name, search for sixaxis in the Market brings it up).

If you have a custom ROM with a normal bluetooth stack, yes. There is a sixaxis app in the market for a couple of dollars IIRC, there's also a free app to make sure it'd work before you buy it.

Yeah that's a big plus for me at the moment I guess - I'm now rooted but I'm happy with stock (and don't fancy playing with buggy nightlies again).
It just struck me as a little pricey for something that sounded very cheapo (maybe it was just the recording). My Datel retro controller only cost £17ish - although that's as limited as a PS3 controller with regards to bluetooth, sadly.
Do we have MIUI for SGS2? I might look into that...

In hindsight, I think I'm gonna try and get one of these - there's a crappy dilemma with the PS3 controller:
- Put custom ROM on, allow PS3 controller to work with 'normal' BT stack, sacrifice TV-Out via MHL/HDMI
- Stay stock, retain TV-Out but obviously unable to use PS3 controller.
Seems Clove decided not to stock them though, that sucks.

Ive ordered one from the phonejoy website. I was using CM7 before to play with my ps3/wiimote controller, but I need my TV out too. So back to a rom which allow my TV out and buying that controller.
I was going to go with an Icontrolpad, but its at least X2 more expensive than this one... Gonne give a review when ill get it, it should take +-1-2 months... that suck haha

Yep, the TV Out is an important aspect for me, and part of the reason I'll be sticking with the Phonejoy for now at least.
iControlPad is just plain worse for use with TV Out, while it is better for portability the price seems pretty unrealistic to me. Phonejoy have been developing a similar control pad to the iControlPad style, no ETA on availability etc, but its in the works.
Incidentally, the latest Jirioni Arcade update is compatible with the MAME4ALL ROM set, pretty good with this set up!

And why icontrolpad is worse for tv out? You dont need to have the cellphone right to it, so icontrolpad or phonejoy will do the same thing in the end. I know icontrolpad can have some claw to hold the cellphone, but theyre not needed to use it.

some Phonejoys are appearing on ebay UK now.. i got mine for like £41.00, cheaper that his website and shipped from the uk
I'm really quite impressed with it, love using the sticks in games like Syphon Filter. So good using TV out on a big screen, my phone is now basically a super portable multi-console. love it

Reason the iControlPad is worse is that its a worse controller configuration for emulating systems like the PSX/N64, if you're tethered to the TV then its mobility advantage is irrelevant.

Verizon GS3 - Sixaxis

Anyone with a Verizon GS3 try using a PS3 controller yet? I want to buy one but I'm not getting my GS3 until tonight so I can't try the Sixaxis Compatibility Test app yet.

I appreciate the app test. Hopefully someone who has tested it will chime in. Don't want to drop 40 bucks to find out it doesn't work

Was just playing critical strike using sixaxis with it last night with my gs3. Though i got tmobile, but it should work just fine for other carriers

Yeah it does, at least for the Sixaxis Controller app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...5ncGl4ZWxzdHVkaW9zLnNpeGF4aXNjb250cm9sbGVyIl0.

Make sure you buy a genuine controller. Chinese copies won't work.

I was able to use sixaxis just fine with my official Sony PS3 controller on my rooted Verizon Galaxy S3

Im running it and it works fine, currently playing Nova 3 with it.

Thanks for the replies, guys. Ordered one today. I'm also looking at the GameKlip in this section, which looks so badass. Only issue with it is it might not fit with my TPU case. Hopefully he can get a model to fit it with most gel cases.

Well, as convenient as wireless connection would be, I was able to connect my PS3 sixaxis to my TMo GS3 using my OTG USB adapter. Now I just need to look into getting a gameklip type holder.

Using USB OTG adapter to hookup PS3 controller on my Verizon S3 stock NO ROOT. Works well, was playing Dead Trigger with it. Root is only required if you want to use bluetooth to connect it.

The maker said if you give him the exact size of your phone with the case he could make a custom one for you. And he said if he said if it didn't fit you could get a refund I think.

I can confirm the xbox 360 controller is supported. The wireless one too, if you have the pc receiver.

Root is required if you want to map controls for games that don't support a controller. The majority unfortunately... This is done through the sixaxis app of course.

Yep, I just tried my wired one with a micro-usb-to-usb adapter (I didn't think it was even an OTG one, but maybe). Dead Trigger was WAY more satisfying!

The wireless xbox controllers "for windows" come with them. You should also be able to find them on ebay, etc.

I guess I’m confused. I downloaded N64oid and have a couple roms (Mario kart64/goldeneye) and they both work well using the on screen controls but when I plug in my PS3 sixaxis controller via OTG cable the controller will control things like navigating the home screens but once I’m in the game it does nothing. Pressing start takes me back to the home screen. Do I have to root in order for the PS3 controller to control my game controls?

I was having the same issue running a custom ROM (CleanROM 2.5), it was bugging the hell out of me and I didn't see anyone else having the same problem. What I did was restore back to factory (reflashed in my case), did not install ANYTHING except sixaxis and N64oid and it stopped for some reason. Then I rooted, with stock ROM, still worked great. No idea why restoring worked if anyone else has a work around please let me know.

[Q] Sixaxis Bluetooth

I am going to get the SGNII once it hits Sprint here in the US. Does anyone know or have tried the Sixaxis apk to connect a PS3 controller to the phone? Does it work? I have seen that it works with the OG Note. Has the Bluetooth changed between the models to make it not work? I heard that Samsung devices do not play well with that apk. I have used it alot on my Evo.

Sony NSG-MR5U or MR7U remote

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if someone has tried to make the Sony NSG-MR5U or NSG-MR7U (the same but with a microphone), originally made for the NSZ-GS7 and NSZ-GS8 Google TV boxes, on Android ?
I was looking for remote for my android tablet (Samsung Galaxy note 8) and Nexus 5 that I plug on my TV. I found tons of ****ty "made in china" bluetooth remotes on the amazon/ebay (like the iPazzPort™ ProMini Bluetooth Mini Wireless Keyboard).
I have bought this Sony remote, the quality and feel is really good, it can pair with my tablet, the keyboard and most buttons are working, but unfortunately the touchpad is not... This would be the ultimate remote for Android
I did not find anything on the web, except some people tried to make the NSG-MR5U on Linux (forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=153504&page=2 and mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03251.html), but agin the trackpad is not working. I did not find anything on XDA about this remote.
Anyone has an idea how to make the touchpad of this remote work on Android ?

Let us know if you find the way to solve it. I am considering to buy Logitech K400r guys are agreeing to be the best choice. Thanx.

I want this remote to work on my windows HTPC. everything works except a few minor buttons and the trackpad. all this remote really needs is someone with experience to make a trackpad driver, and whatever would be necessary to allow the remote to wake a sleeping machine. The keyboard and most media keys work fine on their own. the rest of the keys that don't work can be customized using Eventghost. I have a serial cable for my Samsung tv to connect to my pc as well to operate the tv for basic functions. if I could just get this remote to work, id have a perfect setup for my needs.
Also, confirmed working on my Nexus 5. basically all functions OP mentioned work. no trackpad of course. I wonder if someone could pull the drivers from the Sony google TV this remote came from, since its an android device as well?

Up!
This remote already has a driver for Android (I think the Sony NSZ-GS8 Google TV box is running the Jelly Bean Google TV). Does anyone know how to extract a driver from Android in general? The closest answer I found to this is not very encouraging : android.stackexchange.com/questions/28379/where-are-android-drivers-located-in-the-system

How the Logitech K400r is supposed to work on Android? According to the specs, this keyboard is using the unifying receiver instead of the bluetooth standard.. But that said, I have this keyboard for a Windows 7 PC and it is working beautifully.
