Would I be able to connect my Gnex to my TV using a micro USB->HDMI adapter, and then connect a Bluetooth controller and play games? Would this work or would they interfere with each other somehow? Thanks!

What kind of controller did you use? I'm having a hard time finding one, keeping reading about having to install drivers?
Anyways if this works then I don't get all the hype about ouya.

I have only tried a PS3 controller, which worked fine in my experience. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscompatibilitychecker <-- you do need an app to get it working (that is just the checker you would actually need the paid app). I am sure there are other controllers, but since I already owned a PS3 so I haven't really shopped around.
What is the hype about the Ouya? It is inexpensive. Not everyone has a smartphone or a tablet. Even fewer have one that can manage HDMI out. A lot of the ones that do, are more expensive than the Ouya, especially when you also factor in the higher end internal specs of the Ouya. Also you would have to consider the price of docks, cables, and a controller into this price.

Just bought one, one of the guys in the reviews for it said that he bought it for the Galaxy Nexus and it works, but you need to have a 3rd-party app installed, which someone here at XDA already made last week and put it into the market. I should have it sometime next week.
I know there's hundreds of threads about this but I need to be sure. Is there any way for me to use my ps3 control ( or any other apart from the wii) that I can use with my emulators on my Samsung galaxy nexus??
I have read that ice cream sandwich has native use of the ps3 controller. I tried using a female/female USB to connect my controller to my phone but it won't register in any games or on Bluetooth.
Im really not confident rooting my phone as I've just got it and I'm not used to android yet.

You need to root your phone to do that. I was hoping I could avoid it. Plus i can't the compatibility checker to work, possibly because its not compatible. I'm trying to do it via pc.
Lol. Really not giving up.

I have galaxy nexus and tried using
Female/female adaptor to join my nexus cable (micro usb?) To my ps3 controllers cable (weird mini usb?) And it wont pick it up. Still tryn though, i have high hopes for this to work without rooting my phone. There has to be a way, any help would be appreciated.

The PS3 controller uses bluetooth and doesn't transmit any signals through the usb cable as far as I know.
Try pairing it with bluetooth, and then use an app to map the controls.
Thanks but it didnt work.even with BT/USB joycenter app it won't find it. And for the six axis app I need to root the phone. I don't want to root it just for a controller.

hate to nag but is there any controller apart from the wii that I can use on this phone without root?
Done a lot of googleing and am worried I'll end up wasting cash trying **** that won't work.
I just wanna play some of my emulated games better. Lol
Cheers for any help

Wii classic? And have you looked at I control? Robert broglia's emulators support them.

Xbox 360 USB controller work just fine.

Just root it ya big baby =p
I have the sixaxis app and its the single greatest thing my phone does. You won't go back to playing touch screen games after having physical control. I seriously can't recommend it enough - rooting is simple enough for it to be well worth the reward.

I know it's not G Nex specific, but good info for someone who has not been wanting to pay $5 for the app.
They are having a Memorial Day sale. The price goes back up to $5 on Monday.

Thanks for posting it.
I'm torn about this game though. The virtual control is terrible and I could never play through the game enjoyably with that. I could connect a PS3 controller to it, but in that case I might as well just play the PS2 version on a bigger screen.
I could see this being worthwhile if you don't have a PS2/PS3 and your primary gaming device is your phone connected by MHL... but otherwise...
For a buck i think i will grab it
Got it a few hours ago and have downloaded all the files. I'll play it when I get home though.
Just got it. Seems to run smooth on galaxy nexus

I downloaded, it's a memory oinker. I haven't had a chance to play it yet but I noticed once it starts it doesn't want to stop.
I can't get it too run with the latest cm9 nightly and Franco's nightly 165.

I really enjoy it on my HP TouchPad. I think the controls might be a little difficult to use on smaller devices, as it was with my Nexus S, but the galaxy is about as small of of device as I'd want to use.

Definitely worth $1. Seems to run very well.
Also .99 on iTunes. May pick up for my iPad!

I have at home 2 logitech game controllers. Same type as PlayStation.
One is infrared and one is with cable.
I m leaving to Asia soon and I am asking you is it possible to set some good games on nexus7 and play with 2 controllers on a TV.
I will be stuck in hotel for a while. I would be interested by race games...
I still wait for the nexus 7. What do I need?
One controller should definitely work, my PS3 for instance works via wire or Bluetooth. Never tried two though.

I've always had problems with 2 controllers.
Most mapping software just maps hardware buttons to a virtual keyboard letter. Each directional pad needs 4 plus all the buttons. Normally both controllers respond as the same controller (player1) making multiplayer impossible with that setup.
I've tried on multiple occasions using other android devices and ended up buying an Ouya console, which performs really awesome at emulators. They even have official emulator support. I've had no problem playing with multiple controllers and lots of the Ouya exclusive games are built for support of multiple players.
1 controller, then yea no problem. Ouya + Controller for $99 is great though. The Ouya controller feels like a Bluetooth 360 pad. I bought mine specifically for emulators, the other games are just icing on the cake.
