Is it possible to connect an xbox 360 or ps3 controller to the evo preferably for use with emulation apps?

Controller
Xbox 360 not possible 2.4ghz i think. PS3 Bluetooth controller has not worked for me could not get to pair. Might need an app and could not find one.
I use a Wii remote and app off the market with Emulator and roms for NES. Works extremely well. The normal Wii controller feels small to me and cramped but very useable. I believe you can plug the game pad controller add on into the Wii remote and use it as well. Not tested but should work fine.
I am running CM7 so you have to be Rooted. I know CM7 and maybe other Roms? They use a changed bluetooth stack thats incorporated in the ROM. It's more universal to devices.
I love playing NES on any HDMI tv. Hope this helps.

Works great with the wiimote app. Easier to travel with as you dont have to carry the wii-mote + classic, and it has enough buttons for all emulators.
Hey guys,
I'm searching for a bluetooth or wireless gamepad for my future nexus.
Do you have any ideeas? I was almost into buying Wii Wireless Retro Controller but I can't find it anywhere so I'm looking for something else. Ohhh, this was my first option because is so COOL!
Another option could be Phonejoy's Gamepad, wich is OUT OF STOCK too. I could go for a PS3 SIXAXIS Gamepad, but I dont know if I can use it for other games like Shadowgun, Backstab, Dungeon Defenders (mostly RPG and FPS), not only with PSX Emulator.
Anyone who used a PS3 controller played games like the one above with it?
Thanks!
Just a word of warning you need to make sure your device is compatible. Even if it is, it might work with some app and not another.
There are some bluetooth controller to consider though like: Zeemote, MSI Gamepad, Wii controller (which seems to be the safe bet.)
Sometime you need to run a background 'keyboard' app to make some of these controller work, such as Bluez IME.
I have the iControlPad, but it only work with apps that support keyboard input, through the use of Bluez IME. The most fullproof way for me is still wired controller.
I'm dealing with the issue right now.
I use sixaxis for my PS3 controller but it seems there is lack of supported games.
I think trying FPse for it.
I've also Logitech gamepad (F710) and like you I'd love to see supported games beside FPse.

Give me a few days and this should become a reality with the Sixaxis controller
Honeycomb and ICS have native support for gamepads so they should work throughout the OS and games.
I have a PS3 controller on my Transformer and I also have the Wii Retro controller. The Retro controller sucks horribly compared to the PS3 controller. Plus they all connect via Bluetooth so any controller will act the same unless it comes with a specific binding app.
I don't have a Nexus but I think the PS3 controller is the way to go. I picked up a new white one at Gamestop for $29.
Datel makes the Retro wireless controller.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
I've done it.
Sixaxis with PS3 controller plus MHL to see it on my LCD TV.
Works great! But only in emulators like FPse (the emulator I've test).
I'll wait to the OTG cable and see if I can play with the gamepad on any game (which is not related to FPse).
do i need ROOT for all of this that you guys are talking about? i want to use the original ps3 controller to play games in my galaxy nexus but i totally don't want to root, please help, i don't care if i have to use cable or Bluetooth.
Not sure if this would work on phones, http://steelseries.com/us/products/other/steelseries-ion-wireless-controller
it does mentions tablets. it's coming soon.
Any decent controllers out there? It would be nice having duel analog sticks.
Well not sure what you asking for but I use a NES emulador (NES Emu) downloadable from market and it allows me to commect my wii controllers to play my favorite NES roms also compatible with Play Station controllers and some others

Use your PS3 controller.
I use a six axis remote with my GNex. You'll need to set your controller's master manually via an application from http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/tool.html.
You'll also need to purchase their app from the Google Play store.
Is there any program to make a Sixaxis look like a MOGA controller to apps that can use MOGAs? With several high-profile games getting gamepad support, but only for MOGAs, it'd be nice if I could trick them into letting me use my Sixaxis. If not, I hope someone can make this.
Well the problem is that you need special drivers. The SixAxis doesn't pair up in our conventional ways. There was only 1 rom on my Transformer that actually included Sixaxis drivers IN the rom which allowed for a direct pairing of the controller and it would work natively.
Also, the Moga App flags something in the game because if I launch the game outside of the moga app, I don't get all the neat controller button assignment screens. The Moga app seems to create more lag in the controllers response then connecting it directly using the Moga Drivers Install from the play store.
Really it is just a bluetooth profile. I don't know if they do any special tagging or flagging outside of the moga app.
The best way to accomplish this is probably to get in touch with the creator of the Moga Driver Installer from the play store. He manipulates the controller to read either as a system service or a IME keyboard (similar to the way sixaxis works). In theory, he could pick up support for the sixaxis and translate the inputs through the IME too. This should then come across as a Moga controller.
