I'm thinking about putting together some kind of usb console-like controller with a mounting dock for the Atrix. It wouldn't be outrageously bulky and would provide pspesque functionality. I don't see why games couldn't be coded to use the gamepad input, and most of the code for the device driver should already exist. It would be great for emulators and new games. Does anyone think this is a good idea?

Should work fine. Youd need to make the joystick self powered and send 5vdc to the matrix with an OTG adapter. I'd suggest trying to use the controller from a USB keyboard that would maximize compatibility.

Excellent ^^
This sounds like a great idea. Couldn't find any good bluetooth gamepads for the Atrix. All of them are just controllers, and I want something that holds the cellphone so I can play when I'm traveling.
Can you please tell us how is this project going?.
im glad someone else brought this up as Ive been thinking about doing something similar as well. Ive modeled a few desk docks for the atrix so far (still in the process of being machined) but a game pad would be cool.
if you need any model help, post some sketches and id love to help out on this.
Atrix FTW!
duct tape + ps3 controller.
I don't know if n64oid current supports physical buttons besides zeemote.
Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G on the network with the most backhaul, whatever that is. This post might have errors as I hate touchscreen keyboards.
i've found that with:
Code:
adb shell
input keyevent [number]
You can act like you have a physical keyboard. Maybe can be useful to someone!
Ive been using emulators + Wii mote with the Atrix, the classic controller works too. It would be awesome to be able to play other games with it also.
Ive tried wiimote & zeemote but none of them work with 3d shooters apart from quake etc. Could the app be written to take over the on-screen thumb stick & firebutton, as the keyboard & mouse don't even do this.
Thanks
Dont suppose you nice folks could give us the make/models of any Bluetooth gamepads that you have got working or have found to not work on honeycomb 3.1. I only know the datel one but I'm looking for a more ergonomic PC pad
Thanks in advance
There really aren't any blue tooth gamepads
I would rename the thread to: Compatible Bluetooth Gaming Accessories. You'll probably get more views and get it eventually stickied.
I do remember a bluetoooth gaming pad from Pelican.

Had a bit of a look into it and you're right, all the Bluetooth stuff seems to be for ps3. Fingers crossed Logitech will do a controller aswell as the keyboard and mouse they're about to bring out!
Thanks for the advice

Wonder if anyones tried it with a xoom?

i suppose that would work. Looks kinda awful though.
Yes that's the one. I remember seeing it at Radioshack or Gamestop. Try eBay and see I'm pretty sure there are more. I'm willing to bet eBay has a couple from China.
I found this on eBay. It's a bluetooth DualShock controller. I don't know if it's a knockoff but it could be despite having the PlayStation Logo in the middle.
http://bit.ly/mOEEav
That's the link for the bid. I would imagine that works. I wish someone on here has tried this before. I want to know if you're able to map all the keys without issues.
I found on amazon the komodo shockwave wireless wii controller.. wonder if this would work...??

It will not work. PS3 controllers require being synced up via USB. On the xoom, it would require that and an app. There is no sync button on PS3 controllers.

That is a gamecube controller aimed for a Wii market. It will not work.

Why isn't it possible on Android?
It even works without extra applications on Maemo: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=66704 http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=41693
At least Honeycomb 3.1 should be able to detect it or is there another problem?
this is intresting, would like to use a bt controller on the xoom soon, flirting with that ebay one. Wii looks like the best bet

For bluetooth, it would require an app or script to change the mac address of the bluetooth in your xoom to that of the ps3 controller.
I think you could do that on a PC as a workaround...
i dont understand? i know sometimes you want more buttons or a different grip design, but the wii controller works great for all the 8bit/16bit games i play. at least it gets you going with a BT controller.
http://android.ccpcreations.com/wiicontroller/wc-compatibility
But the Wii controller isn't good to hold for oldschool games (without motion).
There's only two buttons on the wiimote. Wanna play psone games on fpse so need 4 mappable buttons!

Has anybody found one that does work well for cordy
Your best option is the Datel Retro Wireless controller.
Hi, just wanted to let you know I bought this greatlooking nintendo controller that works with emulators on my xoom
Plug and play with a usb-otg cable.
Bought this one from urban outfitters for 25$ but did a quick search and it might very well be this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Retro-Classic-Controller-Nintendo-Entertainment-System/dp/B00281PFQI
(questionable quality it seems from reviews, but works fine so far...)
There was also a SNES controller in the store, and it seems also to be on Amazon.
Wish there was a bluetooth one....
fred
careful with those. Alot, and I mean A LOT of them are just shoddy chinese manufactured POS's with buttons that don't work.
emulator
what emulator did you use?
i tryed, John Emulators and NES EMU.
neither one recognized the controller.
much appreciated
You can try the phonejoy its an Bluetooth one. It work great for psx, n64 because of the analog stick but the dpad is awesome for all older emulator.

PS3 controller works great on my Xoom....never had an issue.
Just curious, how do you play with the cord plugged in while it is being propped up by the case stand? Seems like the bottom plug for it would be an issue... Kind of why I was looking for a wireless solution. Does your emulator play upside down?
what emulator
i have also tried johns emulator on my galaxy tab 10.1... that did not work. is it the controller or emulator?
Hello fellow NES-gamers. I bought this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-x-Nintend...US_Video_Game_Controllers&hash=item19df9c69b2
In the beginning, I had trouble to get it in use. At first nothing happened when I pressed the buttons. I installed USB/BT JoyCenter app and after trying about 15minutes in the settings I finally got it working. And seems fine so far. Feel free to ask if you have any questions!

I just got the same one to try with my Ouya, installed the USB/BT Joystick software but can't understand how to make it work. Up for a quick guide? Cheers
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.
Has anyone tried using a hardware game controller to the Asus Zenfone 2? Either via pairing with bluetooth or USB OTG.
What are your experiences? Do you have recommendations?
I plan to use it mainly on PPSSPP (damn, The 3rd Birthday is hard to play using touch controls) and maybe some Android action games, but PPSSPP is the main reason.
From what I've read, I can use the OEM PS3 controller using USB OTG, but that seems to require root, correct? But I would prefer the non-root solution, as I have no plan to root, not yet at least.
I'm using a SteelSeries bluetooth controller with emulators now and I've used an otg adaptor with an xbox 360 controller. Both worked just as well as any other fairly modern phone once you get the keybindings set up properly. Neither required root for me to use.

That's exactly it. If you have "fat fingers" or large hands, it may be too small to use comfortably, but it works well and has a good amount of controls.

I just went for the sure-fire PS3 Controller + USB OTG. After I saw video reviews of these bluetooth controllers, I just knew they weren't for me.
I was about to give up on this until I read that root is only required for using bluetooth with the PS3 controller, USB OTG does not. I've tried it out and the controller works without a problem in PPSSPP as well as GTA3 for android.
I also read about those gamepad clips that could clip my phone on to the PS3 controller, I'll get one of those in the future.

Ordered from Lazada already for 550php (710php including shipping). It has a 1 month shipping duration but that's better than buying a GameKlip for 1800php (ad I saw in Juantamabayan), which is a certified ripoff as the price is 2x the original selling price of a GameKlip.
In the gadget shops I've visited, they only sell the PS4 controller clips. I've tried them and they do not work with a PS3 controller, because of that goddamn touchpad in the PS4 controller.
I've seen workarounds and DIY clips online, but it just isn't worth the time and effort, let alone the potential damage a DIY rig might cause to my phone or PS3 controller.

alabang town center. you can find that too in any small over the counter stores (not those walk-in stores) that sells gaming and mobile stuff. like the tiange type, that's where i found this. DataBlitz may have the same price. if not, most probably just very little difference.

Anyway, I have one pre ordered from Lazada. I'll just wait for it. But man, that's really low priced. Seems like Cyberzone does not carry accessories for "old" things anymore, tsk.
I saw on one of the Facebook group for Asus Zenfone 2 Philippines, one of them is using iPega controller but according to some reviews on YouTube some function doesn't really work well but now I'm looking for a MOGA Controller to test, sadly there's not a single Moga controller I can find here in my location.

If all else fails, a Sony PS3 controller + USB OTG works like a charm. Its almost as if the controller is an OEM accessory to the ZF2.
