As of right now I know you can use it as a remote, but not a controller. I don't know if it would be possible..But it'd be pretty cool I think..Until you got a phone call and you die on the video game lol

Onlive is... live : controller? Phonejoy?

Pretty exciting stuff. I gave it a shot and it seems to work well, but you really need a controller to go anywhere. Has anyone tried a phonejoy or similar with onlive? Or would you need to get the onlive branded one?
I actually just got my shipment notification from Phonejoy. I'm very interested in seeing if this will work. I'm crossing my fingers since phonejoy states the app must allow keyboard input for their controller to work. Onlive certainly allows for keyboard input. I'll report back once I get my controller.
PhoneJoy partially works
SO far I have managed to get the direction keys to work, but not the regular buttons. I will let you know when or if they are working.
Can we use the sixaxis program and use our wireless ps3 controllers for this?
I'm wondering, has there been any developement? I would LOVE to get my Phonejoy working on OnLive, it would make it simply perfect.

i just emailed onlive.
ofcourse, they want us to buy a universal onlive controller, otherwise they are unwilling to help.
heres a thought, figure out what keys do what on a bluetooth keyboard paired with the phone and then set up phonejoy to use these keys as buttons.

Yes, assuming sixaxis controller works on the SII. Only used it on my Tab

Could anyone provide an update on whether this was successful for you guys? My Kindle Fire HD is arriving tomorrow and I'm interested in using the phonejoy bluetooth controller with it and the OnLive gaming service.
P.S. The noob video for this site is hilarious. And awesome. I hope I'm doing the right thing. :laugh:

[Q] Xperia PLAY to Bluetooth Gamepad

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.

[Q] Anyone tried PS3 controller?

Just wondering if anyone has tried a PS3 controller on their S4 Mini?
Does it work okay?
Does it need root?
Mainly just want it for the GTA 3, VC and San Andreas when it comes out soon.
Many Thanks
Yes, tested it with sixaxis controller. As far as I remember it works without root, but then you have to connect the controller via cable. I only tested it with root.

It works with a wire? I thought S4 mini didn't work with OTG?
oh yeah you are right, then it probably won't work.

Do you happen to know If PS3 controller works out the box with the GTA titles? Or do I need manual set-up?
I did a manual set up, but just google / youtube it.

It's the same on any android device. In this Video it seems like running without configuring the keys.

[Q] games controllers for unrooted

What are the best game controller to work with an un-rooted AFTV?
With the new update I'm using my wired Xbox 360 controller plugged into a hub. It works great with KOTOR and Tales from the Borderlands.
Red samurai from GameStop
The official fire tv controller is actually pretty good. Dualshock 4 is great, but the battery only lasts a few hours.

Thanks everyone. Jsuh0 - just to confirm - does the Red Samurai work without root with the standard keymap?

I read over on http://www.aftvnews.com/alternate-game-controllers-compatible-with-the-fire-tv/ (fifth of sixth comment down) that you need root to edit the keymap for it to work properly.
+1 red samurai works great. And is cheap like $7

you can also use your xbox 360 wireless controller with the official wireless controller receiver.
worked on my AFT out of the box. just plug in the receiver and it works.

Amazon fixed the keymap with lastest fire tv update. So it doesnt need to be edited.

So there are no other issues with using the DS4 on the Fire TV now?

I don't think so. The only thing that sucks is the battery life is so bad, and there is no indicator if it is running low, so it could just die on you in the middle of a game. Besides that, it's the best possible controller you can use in my opinion. I have not used it on an unrooted ftv though, but it shouldn't make any difference.

Does this also go for the PS3 DS3 controller?
@octra,
Damn that is awesome news! What would be the button layout when using a 360 controller on an AFTV? Does the X button act as the Home button?

No, DS3 doesn't work without root. You need an app called "sixaxis controller" to use it.
is there something that can be used as an all-in-one device..gamepad, mouse,& keyboared. dont want to have to buy several pieces of hardware to use with this fire tv stick. something like the sony google tv remote . I have one of those but the stick wont recognize it , even with settings.apk
Thanks for the info. I take it sisaxis is a root only app?

dont think that is bluetooth. might have a usb dongle to be able to use which makes it impossible to use with the fire stick
