Bluetooth Gamepad

Any good suggestions for a bluetooth gamepad for the Xoom?
I could use the wii remote's but was wondering if there's any better alternatives that anyone can suggest...
Thanks!

Also wondering the same. I think there's a good demand for a nice bluetooth controller. Something similar to the Xbox 360 controller would be nice.

I don't have a ps3 or xbox but i'd happily buy a controller if it worked!
Wii controller, while great - would be slightly annoying as if you use the classic controller the actual wii remote is attached and dangling loose...

Ps3 is bluetooth so could theoretically work, if an app provides support. I picked up a Datel wireless wii Retro classic controller or
whatever on ebay for $20, which should work with one of the wiimote apps. Its basically the wii classic controller without the need to tether it to a regular wiimote for wireless.

Let me now how that works out for u so I can get one as well

Icontrolpad is great little control pad for phones and pc. I'm waiting for mine to be delivered

PS3 Controllers wont work based on the way they pair with the PS3. Tried this and have tried to find apps that would make this work.

Wii!
A Wii controller of course! I got mine up and running fantasticly a couple days ago when N64oid was released. Its very simple and uses bluetooth (obviously). You will need the assistance of the app "Wiimote Controller" that can be found in the Android Market free of cost though to actually pair, but from there on out, your good! And hopefully you didnt even need to go spend any money Hope this helps. Take Care

Works pretty well! I used it with Snesoid and it worked great. Dpad and joysticks as well. 4 trigger/shoulder buttons and 4 standard thumb buttons.

Dow do i go about connecting a wiimote to this Xoom? I can't get it to connect via Bluetooth settings or a wiimote connection app on the market. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Which wiimote app did you get? I use wiimote controler and it works great.

For those keen on a Classic Controller, but not wanting to have the hassle of connecting to the WiiMote, take a look at the Datel Retro Wireless controller...

Does anyone know what games work with the wii remote / retro controller? I know the emulators work, but I don't think games like Samurai Vengence, Vendetta Online, Airattack HD, or Angry Birds works. Anyone know if there is a way to get them to respond to the controller input?

If you find one for sale somewhere, than let me know. Everywhere I have looked, they have all been sold out, and not a single one is on ebay!

Codejunkies.com I ordered one from there... no mention of out of stock or anything like that.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

also ordered one from codejunkies on Tuesday. Haven't gotten a shipping confirmation though.

Turbojunkies, used Shipito to get it sent to me here in NZ. Did get one from Ebay also, but they are only occasionally available via Ebay.
EDIT: Not sure what happened there, mine should read codejunkies also, not turbojunkies (awesome brain explosion though).

Here's what CodeJunkies just said about my order.
Your order is currently in transit between our UK office and our office in the US. Once it arrives in the US, it will be shipped out via UPS with the following tracking # 1z***********

Got my wii controller working finally, I was just being stupid lol. So that dattel Retro controller works well? All the buttons function? Any problems so far? About to order one if its still working well. Thanks for your time!

[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
Sent from my Ginger ***** Supersonic

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
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

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).

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".

[HELP NEEDED] N64 to USB for Emulator FUN! [ACCESSORY REVIEW]

I ran into this while browsing Amazon. I've always loved the N64 controller layout and I found this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002B9FIUU
It's a N64 to USB adapter that I hope we can get to work with Emulators. I've tested the N64 controller in the N64oid app and I can't get it to work. I mapped the keys within the app and it does recognize the key presses when mapping. When the game starts the START button doesn't seem to to work.
The controller however does work when I'm on the home screen. I can move back and forth between screens and with the Analog stick.
I'm wondering if I can somehow pull the WiiMote controller app and recode it to work with the N64oid. I'm looking for suggestions on what we can do to get this to work. No documentation came with this accessory and there is a switch on it which I'm assuming switches from N64 to PS2 controller. I've only tested this in N64oid but I will try in the other emulators and see if it works. I contacted the dev of WiiMoteController to see if he'd be willing to make an app for N64.
Here are some shots of the accessory in question:

Thats cool i always wanted the snes adapter but n64 blows it away

Most definitely. I just want some input before I pull the trigger. I would be playing N64oid the most if not primarily and I need my Super Smash Brothers fix.

It's a N64 to USB adapter. I ordered 2 OTG cables and I believe that it'll work but I hope someone can confirm. I have a ton of these lying around my house and I'm dying to use it. I'm pretty sure I have an old OTG at home so I'm going to turn my house upside down today to look for it.
It's priced reasonably. Feel free to chime in. I hope this is a great find.

I would think any controller should work as long as it had the proper controller layout file in android. The PS3 and Xbox controllers have specific layout files so I would think one would be needed for a N64 controller.

I have a similar adapter for Playstation 2 Controller to USB and it only emulates mouse movements (left joystick) other buttons are not recognized. Proceed with caution.

I think I will buy it and be a guinea pig. Worst case scenario I'll just sell it to my friend who games with emulators on his laptop.

Did you try it out?

I ordered through Amazon and it took forever so I cancelled. I had better luck on eBay with the items coming from China.

I found one on eBay and ordered it today. Here's the one I got:
http://cgi.ebay.com/PS2-N64-CONTROL...Accessories&hash=item3368e62969#ht_1351wt_648
It's shipping from the U.S according to the eBay listing so hopefully I'll get it early next week. I will test this as soon as I get it and let you guys know. This would be the ultimate controller for N64oid (obviously).
I'll fill you guys in when I get it.

I'd be interested to know if it works - had trouble mapping up all the keys on a ps3 pad
e.g. the c buttons along with z/l/r/u/d/l/r/a/b

Yeah it wasn't that expensive but I hope it works. I will try this as soon as I get it. If it doesn't work I would imagine someone can make an app that can map the keys for the N64 controller like the WiiMoteController app.

Same here... is there any guide to fixing this, or remapping?
Or is it because of the controller?

GF wants to see stupid fireworks and I may be forced to go.

Just found this thread after wondering this same question - I like how Nesoid and Snes EX run with the Wii Classic Controller but n64oid just doesn't feel the same without the N64 controller.
Any updates on this? Eager to know.
Thanks!

click the check box that says active alternate input method or something.

Wired Xbox 360 controller isnt working

So i bought a wired xbox 360 controller on ebay so i can play games with a controller on my g-slate (i know its not a xoom but its 3.1 and doesnt have a forum here...) but when i plug it in, the ring on the controller constantly flashes but never lets me use it... any ideas on what to do? It doesnt work on my pc but i read somewhere you need a software installed on pc for it to work
Thanks in advance!

Some controllers work for some people, some don't. It's rather iffy whether it will work or not. Personally, mine doesn't work either. However ICS has built in support for controllers so there is a good chance that it will work perfect then.

Aww man... looks like i HAVE to go buy an xbox now so my moneys not wasted... haha
But that does suck about it not working. Especially since this was the last tablet to get 3.1 so ICS might not happen for it

Did you try running windows update after you plug it in? You might want to give that a try.

If you are trying to connect the xbox 360 controller to the xoom you can´t... not without a pc microsoft usb dongle that let you do that. Its made for the pc but work on the xoom. but no stick support. Why not buy does cheap usb controllers? also you cant play all games via controller. Devs have to make theyre games controller capable. Games that support this i have only seen riptide, shadowgun, cordy...and thats all maybe there are more but dunno. I think ICS will make it more easy for usb controllers to work like a mouse and sticks to work.

i hope this helps you out
i was able to get my 360 controller to work on the g slate with an app on the market for 5 bucks. usb/bt joystick center, it has a slight learning curve but the nice thing is you can export and import button layouts since some games map differently. shadowgun takes a bit to setup but once you get it up and going there is nothing that like playing on your tv with a controller.

If its a wired controller the wireless dongle is not needed.

[Q] Wireless Xbox controller and Note II

Has anyone managed to get the wireless xbox 360 controller working with the Note II?
I have seen a forum discussions about the wireless controller, but these seemed to be specific to individual devices e.g the S3 and the Nexus 7.
If anyone knows how to do this please give me an idiots guide.

Ps3 controller works. Xbox is not good imo.

If memory serves, xbox360 doesn't use bluetooth. Wii controller will sync, and I've read that ps3 could work. The game would need to support the controller to work. Even android specific controllers, like the Moga, only work with a limited number of games.

The ps3 controller uses bluetooth. With the app six axis you can play any game with the ps3 controller. Six axis is a very robust app. Look for it in the play store. Worth every penny especially when you pair it up with an emulator and mhl adapter.

Only problem is the ps3 controller sucks Imo. Wish I could use the xbox 360 controller.

Thanks for the suggestions. I am aware that the PS3 controller will work. However I don't have a PS3 controller, I have 2 Xbox 360 wireless controllers, and a wireless adaptor, and therefore I would like to use them!
I know that it is possible to make make the nexus 7 and the samsung s3 work with a wireless xbox controller, so in theory there is no reason why the note II will not. As the Xbox controller uses a propriety wireless system (i.e not bluetooth like PS3 and Wiimote) it is necessary to be able to somehow connect the Note to the usb xbox wireless receiver dongle. I can do this through the Note smart dock.
here is a guide for getting the wireless xbox controller to work with some android systems:
(edit - sorry cant post links yet, a quick google will turn up a few hits)
But it is missing an xpad.ko for the Note II, and I don't know how to make one.

I'm not familiar with trying to use Xbox controller. Obviously you're doing to need a OTG USB cable to use the Wireless gaming receiver dongle.
What you may want to try, and make sure you do a Nandroid prior, I would trying using S3 xpad.ko from the S3. I'm not sure what it references, but since are both touchwiz, it should give better odds for working than once from other devices.

PS3 i've gotten to work but xbox would be worth looking into

I intend to use the smart dock but that should work the same as the OTG.

I believe so. I think the more important, and potentially useful bit is trying the S3 ko file.

Yep.
I have no problems connecting my PS3 controller with OTG, then connecting it via Bluetooth.
I map out the buttons "touch emulation" with an app called "sixaxxis controller" and that makes it so I can even play Gameloft games with it.
And of course I have the usual emulators, dead trigger, etc.
