[Q] Gamepads Compatible With Vibrant

Hey everyone-
I've been looking around lately for a possible solution to my gaming woes on the Vibrant recently, namely the fact that the onscreen controls normally suck in any emulator. Because of that I've been looking for a gamepad, or game controller of some sort, that's compatible with the Vibrant via bluetooth or some other physical means. Beyond the wii remote (which I don't think works on the galaxy s line anyway), is there any solution that's built for android phones that'll work on the vibrant? I've already checked out the game gripper, but that's for keyboard phones. If anyone has any ideas I'm all ears, thanks in advance.

Well, i have been using a Wiimote plus a nunchuk, and it works pretty good...i have been playing The Legend Of Zelda OOT with N64oid, and besides some fails here and there (that are not the fault of the WiiMote but the emulator itself), it works flawlessly, i like it a lot.

the zeemote works http://www.fommy.com/view-full-page.asp?skuno=86194#grey
i know it says combatible only with blackberrry but this youtube video shows how to install on galaxys--->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJO-M433hXQ&feature=related

I didn't realize that the wii remote worked on the vibrant, I checked in the market today and it said in the description that it wasn't compatible with the galaxy s series of phones because of a custom bluetooth stack issue or something. Although, if your running a custom rom maybe its not a problem. Either way I'll give it a try, thnx.

Hey man thanx for the link, I already found that, but actually I believe I found an even more elegant solution here: http://phonejoy.weebly.com/buy.html. It's a custom psx controller called the phonejoy that's modded to work on android devices, direct from China lol. Anyway, thanks for the help.

May I ask what rom you are using? I've been hoping to find a rom that supports wiimote for a while.

CM7 works with the wiimote. I've tried it, so cool.

Good to know, I'm on CM7 now so that'll save me some green. Although I'd really like a dual analog controller for the vib, ahh well...thanks for the heads-up.

You can use dual analog once you connect the classic controller pro to the wiimote

Cool, so the newer classic controller works! Good thing I'm buying one tomorrow . Thanks for letting me know. And just to confirm, the classic controller PRO (that one specifically), works in addition to the old one right?

Both pro and non pro work, you can see videos of them working on youtube.
And remember wiimote only works with bluetooth 2.1 (cm7) for now

You can buy a PS3 controller. They connect via bluetooth and work pretty well.

Well since the dead thread is already brought back, has anyone tried using a bluetooth pad along with tv out? I've seen a kang cm build that says it has working tv out and was wondering if anyone has tried it yet.
Edit: link to kang build, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1461705

Interesting proposition. Do you have the necessary tools to try it? If so, I'd like to hear the result.

I used the ics passion rom with TV out and two wii controllers to play super Nintendo games with my wife.
It works great
Even with multiple controllers.

Samsung Note gamepad for emulators??

Well found out that it would be cool to play psx games with FPse emulator, works great) on Note with psx gamepad or even to play anything with gamepad on Note,
first to ask you did anyone tried any of this this?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Joystick-it-...ht_3658wt_1193
or
http://www.amazon.com/Joystick-Touch.../dp/B007KCSJI6
Looks like it could be a cool thing...
And second thing, did any one tried to connect any normal gamepad (via bluetooth or via USB), does it works?
I'm not sure which one to buy?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Phonejoy-And...ht_2796wt_1185
or
http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Wireless...#ht_5260wt_952
or any other on ebay....
does anyone has some ideas?

There are a few threads on this already, for more information.
Personally I have an iControlpad. And it works great.

In my opinion, nothing beats a ps3 controller with sixaxis app.
Screen controls are just amazing.

+1 definitely agree with that. just sucks cause in some countries the ps3 controllers are terribly overpriced. managed to pick on up off of amazon for 30 bucks with a USB cable and an HDMI cable included.

Hi. Where can I find the sixaxis app?

Pretty sure they mean this:
Sixaxis Controller

I'm also using the sixaxis for emulator type games on my note and it works great.

After a lot of positive comments about the PS3 controller and the sixaxis app i have rooted the note and got the ps3 controller connected via the sixaxis app.
So, then i got n64oid emulator but now am having intense issues setting up a basic N64 controller map with the sixaxis app.
I understand the basic concept of making a keymap, but when i load a screen shot (from any orientation) it always loads in portrait, not landscape mode, and so i am not able to setup the buttons.
Anything boneheaded i am doing here?
EDIT: [solved]
Anyone struggling with creating the seemingly simple N64oid mappings on the sixaxis app, i can confirm that the droid map in this post works fine on the SGN http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22204123&postcount=23
EDIT: [screenshot orientation fix]

Controller for cappy

Hey started using splash top and love it. Just curious if I can get SN Xbox 360 or some other controller working on it. I'm running ICS
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA

Bluetooth keyboard and mouse work. I'm not sure about other things. Should be in-game support for that, because Android doesn't give it out-of-the box.

there are several out there i use a zeemote .

Games with PS3 control support

So tonight I spent a little time trying to get my PS3 control hooked up to my Galaxy Note 2, for anyone that doesnt know the note 2 and galaxy s3 can support ps3 controls over bluetooth stock which is awesome no aosp needed. Took me a while because the sixaxis app for my computer wouldnt play nice with windows 8 had to use motioninjoy. I have gotten it to play nice with every emulator so far SNES and N64 but I am looking for some games that can use the control as well I've purchased grand theft auto 3 and hoping to see if we can have a thread with games we try that are fun to play with a control. Also if anyone needs some help setting up the ps3 control to there note I would be glad to help root is required.

Just got my controller today, and am in the middle of setting up the buttons for N64 emulator. I am having trouble with setting up the left analog stick to act as steering in Mariokart 64. It seems that when in the game, I can see that when I press the joystick left, the joystick on screen goes left, but seemingly not far enough to activate the steering (same with right)? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks~

Interesting enough when I set mine up that worked by default man I can play Mario kart with no issues I just mapped the actual buttons. Try this tho I did this for the snes emulator set up the directional pad instead and then my analog worked on its own.

I had the same good fortune for Snes emulator, but still having issues with the N64 emulator. I attached a pic of what I jst tried after reading your post, but still no luck. Last night I had it set-up with the Anolog (L) right in the middle of the toggle on screen, but still couldn't get it to work. I mean it worked, but not enough to make it move on screen????. So tonight I just mapped the directional pad( pictured here), and the toggle/analog on the control doesn't work at all. So I'm at a loss with this one. Any setting I'm missing?
Thanks~

question regarding the n64 emulator... you say you are using a controller over bt with n64 games? which app do you use for this? and also which controller?
i play a lot of n64 on my device, but use the touch screen layout, it is playable, but if there is a better way, please share your secretz
gotta unlock those cheats brah. rofl

I have an six axis ps3 control and I used a app for the computer to program the bluetooth mac address. I didn't use a dual shock but imagine it would work the same I keep my dual shocks for use on my ps3 though. Your gonna need sixaxis controller from the market. Also I couldn't get the sixaxis controller app for my computer to work for the life of me but I believe it's a windows 8 problem. So I download ds3 control it works without issues on windows eight and has more features. I understand you don't need all this if you use a wii control but I don't have one.

from my experience (stock phone, unrooted)
wired ps3 works with deadzone and dead trigger.
not sure of any other game.

Well can't you make almost any game work, by mapping siaxis controller app

For what it's worth,
I finally got mine to work with the N64 emulator. It was one of two things:
Simply rebooting after installing Sixaxis
Pinch to Zoom to widen the radius of the Analog button( this was probably the fix)

Supergnes+legend of zelda a link to the past=pure win with the ps3 controller.
You just have to go into settings, select controller 1. Then you just press the button you want to correspond with the button used for the game. Very easy.

For a great n64 emulator, go to paulscode.com and get the latest beta emulator, im using it and its amazing with the sixaxis app and ps3 controller. U can map the c buttons of the n64 controller to the right joy stick of the ps3 controller.
As for the sixaxis app, if u have root axis, all you need to do is plug in the controller to your phone, and click pair phone, it updates the BT master code, so ur phone recognizes the controller. Then you click start in the sixaxis app and push the center button on the ps3 controller, it should recognize the controller, then you go into the controller settings, or your phones main settings and then input settings, find the sixaxis input, click on settings, and enable gamepad controller.
Just set up the key mappings in app and your good to go.
I purchased a Gameklip from their website, google it, it attaches the PS3 controller to a spare case, which you can buy from their website aswell, and it all functions great.

HTC One X, JB, how to connect PlayStation 3 controller?

Hi all,
I've finally received ota official update to jb. All stock, I've don't make any changes.
All work pretty fine. USB otg as well.
But I would want to connect a PlayStation 3 controller. How to do this, what to do?
Thanks for replying.

you have to download an app that does that for you, Sixaxis controller is one of the best yet paid. AFAIK

the app is called "sixaxis controller" by dancing pixels studios. the app changes your ps3 controller's Bluetooth address so your phone can access it. I found it a bit cumbersome but eventually it worked fine with most games like dead trigger and shadowgun deadzone.
