Anyone know anything about interfacing this nifty thing with linux, specifically Fedora or Ubuntu variants?
I picked it up like... "MINT" for thirty dollars today, and was wondering why my computer won't detect it... does it function using MTP?
this is probably not the answer you are looking for, but i sync with a virtual copy of xp via virtualbox...works great.
Yes, that may work, but maybe I can figure out something using libMTP
Would it be possible to link a PS3 controller to our phone? The only problem I could see would be linking them up... But it would be badass for emulators!
I'm breathing life back into any old thread I can find that has this question. I just got the EVO 3D and once my mhl cable comes, I'm gonna be rockin the emulator over HDMI to my tv, and would LOVE to be able to just use my PS3 controller. We need to get on this STAT.
I'm willing to help in any way possible.
just use a emulator and download the Ps3 drivers to your pc,then if you have a pc with HDMI you can connect it to your TV.....why would you use your phone when you can run any kind of console with your pc...lol

Because I can't take my PC with me anywhere I go...
If I could do it through the phone I could play on my TV while I'm home, but also on the go anywhere that I have my phone, without having to export/import save files or play two separate games.
well...you will have to use bluetooth to connect the controller to your phone,the phone can't power that device on usb....

Yeah, that's the plan. Hoping to somehow link the controller for use with the phone. PS3 is tricky though because it requires a USB connection to a device in order to pair with it. I'm hoping to use a PC as an intermediary to 'introduce' them to each other and then it should (in theory) just be a matter of collecting/interpreting button press data and mapping it to the correct buttons in the phones emulator.
kinda old but has to be a way for Android.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH_NBKtj0R8

I'll check this out on my lunch. Thanks!
You are out of luck when trying to pair PS3 controller to Android. Can't be done at the moment.
Best bet is still the Wii remote (can use the classic controller as well) or purchasing a special type bluetooth gamepad off the net (just search Google and there are a few to choose from that do work well).

I'm sorry, but I refuse to believe that two bluetooth devices based on Linux can't somehow be paired. Maybe extra hardware needs to be introduced, and there'll probably be some reverse engineering involved, but if they can connect a wiimote to Android, and a ps3 controller to a windows phone, there has to be a way to make this work...

It may not be able to be done with the EVO yet but it can be done. I've done it natively on my Xoom with emulators many times.

That's awesome. That's the kind of encouraging thing that makes me believe this can be done. Perhaps there's a way to force the pairing with one of those cables and then wirelessly sync from that point on. Were you able to try that at all with the Xoom?

you're doing it with a cable though, so at that point its just a standard usb input device.

How about just playing the games that you already have on available on your phone. I don't see this ever working especially with sonys ****ty products.
this is also why I have all manner of game systems and PCs hooked up to my tvs/projectors:
I like being able to take phone calls or respond to text messages without having to exit my game....lol

True but I like the idea of taking the game WITH me so if I'm stuck somewhere bored with nothing to do I can pick up where I left off.

Pretty much I heard it comes down to being able to pair the thing with the phone. Maybe drivers too.
I'd say that, at least from a hardware perspective, all you should need is a wire that would plug into both of them. Haven't the slightest idea what you'd need from the software side though.

You have to use a cable. The ps3 controller may be Bluetooth but it uses a non standard protocol, rendering it completely incompatible with our evo's Bluetooth stack. People had to write custom drivers from the ground up to get the ps3 controller to work on the PC, but that jacks up your ability to use other normal Bluetooth functions (at least the last time I tried a month or two ago, it still did).

Instead of necroing a thread in the Evo 4G forums, how about posting this in the Evo 3D forums. I mean, that is the phone you have. Just sayin'.
Just curious if the PS3 controller is even able to be used with the Evo. I know they got the Wii remote working lol unfortunatnly I no longer have a we remote. Plus that thing chews threw batteries like a kid with candy.
I would be interested in this as well. Mario 3 at work would be luv. Or super punch out

If anyone wants to tackle this one I have done some initial research. Now that CM6 has BlueZ implemented (bluetooth HID support) all we need is a way to handle PS3 controller's unique pairing method:
Using PS3 Controller in Bluetooth Mode With Linux
PS3 Controller Driver For WindowsMobile
Play games on Nokia N900 with PS3 Sixaxis controller
Maemo package - sixad daemon
Interesting Notes:
- "The SIXAXIS apparently does not support the standard Bluetooth pairing procedure; instead, pairing is done over USB, which is arguably simpler and more secure. This command-line utility searches USB buses for SIXAXIS controllers and tells them to connect to a new Bluetooth master."
- "Once the master address is set to your phone, pressing the PS button will cause the controller to send connection requests to your phone. Listen for devices, no authentication, with hid guid on psm 17 accept the connection request, then psm 19, accept that request, then write .... something can't remember... I have to go back to my code... to set the LEDs so they stop flashing and another code to tell the controller to start sending data. Once u r successful the controller constatntly sends packets of 50 bytes continuously describing the state of the controller, tilt, which buttons are down, up, etc so you just need to check for changes react accordingly. I'm handling verything on the L2CAP layer in WinMo. sending keydown and keyup events...."
- I think the easiest way to get this done would be to make a port of the sixad package which is a daemon that handles PS3 pairing and is triggered by udev (device manager) and make a GUI for it. This is what qtsixa is for maemo. This seems to make the most sense as maemo is another linux operating system for mobile.
Check out qtsixa's github here:http://github.com/smokku/sixaxis-support/tree/master/qtsixa

There is a driver for the ps 3 to windows xp 32 bit. Its a good place to start reverse engineering imo.

Hey nice sig, cant wait for "new vegas".
Anyway back on topic. I wish I could start something lol If I had the ability to develop this stuff Id make some real money I have so many great ideas lol. Unfortunantly I dont even know where to start.
Any news of progress on this?
i'm also interested in this development. i'm currently using a wii controller to play snes games but it lacks the buttons of a snes controller.
Would be great, BUT I thought we would be screwed like we are with the Wii controller, we don't have HID controller profile in our Bluetooth stack right? I use my ps3 controller on my MacBook all the time and would love to use it on my Evo as well but as of now I think the only way to attempt this will be AOSP Roms or a completely new stack for sense...

I have played games with the PS3 controller and my Nokia N900 last year and now it is not possible any more for me because I have switched to Android.
Is there an update or a work in progress app?
Thanks!
For the past 3 days I've been struggling to set up my PS3 contoller to work on my HTC One M8. First, I tried USB/BT Joystick Center and got the D-Pad to work, but couldn't really figure out the proper button configs so that games could detect them. Most of the other controller apps require root; therefore, I went ahead and did that. Then, I installed Sixaxis Compatibility Checker and it told me that my phone was compatible with the main app so I went ahead and bought it. Well, lo and behold it doesn't work. It seems that unless I override the MAC address of my controller, it won't let me pair up via OTG, Bluetooth-only seems to be the only way. Unfortunately, I can't do this because the drivers that I need to install to do this render my controller unusable with my PC games for some reason. I missed the refund window so I gotta make this work somehow.
You don't need OTG to link ps3 to phone. I've used the app many times on both my tablet and phone. I even use my ps3 on my laptop to play android games through emulation. I'll have to get with you later. Its 4am here, so give me time

Anyone?
So I found a way on how to connect the darn thing to my Lumia, but it's still unusable. The phone does connect to the controller and says it's connected but the controller itself is having some difficulties in connecting... Not sure if this is a problem with cloned DS3 controllers (yes, I do have a clone, no money to buy a legit DS3 controller right now and I'm using that DS3 controller on my Nexus 7 with SIXAXIS Controller app, works great even for a clone)... Can anyone here try this with a legit controller?
Here's a video:
Sorry for my voice thou....
So how did I managed to get it paired? Simple... Changed my Bluetooth dongle's device class to 0x5 (applied 0x58030) and MAC address to the DS3 controller. You need Linux to change the MAC and Class as Windows doesn't allow that (used Kali Linux)
Some stuffs I read to make this possible: http://blog.petrilopia.net/linux/change-your-bluetooth-device-mac-address/ and http://www.slideshare.net/null0x00/hijacking-bluetooth-headsets
After BT's device class and MAC Address, paired the dongle to Lumia... The Lumia itself sees it as 0x5 and MAC Address to my DS3's MAC. After pairing, turned OFF Bluetooth on my Lumia, connected my DS3 to my Nexus 7 via USB for pairing with SIXAXIS Controller app , Paired to my Lumia's BT MAC Address, after doing that, turned on my Lumia's BT first, then turned on the controller, and voila.
Yes I know it's kinda complicated process because on how a DS3 controller works (it's not visible, you literally need something to pair it to your device or to your other devices) but hey at least we know that it's possible to connect a DS3 (or even a DS4 controller) to Windows 10 Mobile (and also Windows Phone 8, WP8 already had MOGA controller support).
Created this thread here so we can attract some clever devs for the possibility to make the DS3/DS4 controller (or even better, any Bluetooth controllers) to work with Windows Mobile. Android, iOS, and even WinMo 6 (yes, Microsoft's mobile OS before Windows Phone 7 lives, see CobaltController by @Cobaltikus ) already had DS3 support, so why not add WP/Win10 Mobile to the list? We already got Interop Unlock and access to device drivers so this stuff can be possible on WP/Win10Mo too...
Anyone agree with me?

You can install any of Android Sixaxis controller apps via Project Astoria (I have DualShock too, but have not yet tried to install any of the Android controller applications)

That will simply not gonna work as Astoria doesn't allow Bluetooth (see build.prop on Astoria, it had a line of Bluetooth disabled). Also, root doesn't work for now... And also, minimizing an app on Astoria pauses it... We need a native Windows app to do so...
