Has anyone bought this:
http://www.onlive.com/controller
I want to know if this works in emulators and such, and not just OnLive.
I've tried a PS3 controller connected via sixaxis, and it doesnt work in Onlive. I might consider this if it worked in onlive and emulators.
I'm not certain about the OnLive controller, but in the faq at OnLives site there is this...
---------------------
Can I use a controller with the OnLive Game Service?
Yes. The controllers currently supported are:
•OnLive Wireless Controller (OnLive Game System only)
•Microsoft® Xbox 360® Controller for Windows
•Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows (requires the Microsoft Wireless Gaming Receiver)
•Logitech® ChillStream™
•Logitech® F510
•Saitek® P3200 Rumble Pad
•Mad Catz® GamePad
----------------------
Not sure because I've not tried. But I would guess that one or more of those will do what you are asking.
That said I would like to know the answer to your question as well. Looks like a great controller.
I do have this controller, but I do not have any hd dock or lapdock to test it out for you
He wants to know if OnLive's Universal Controller will work with any of the emulators on his phone, such as SNESoid, NESoid, MAMEoid, and so forth. Sixaxias Controller is an app that lets you connect and use a PS3 controller on your Android device.
I had the same issues with Sixaxis Controller and Wiimote Controller with OnLive. I think this is because both of those are mapping functions to some kind of keyboard function, whereas OnLive's app does not any any keyboard function build into it to use native keyboard. I was able to do limited stuff such as play the "getting started" video because one of the buttons acted like the "s" button on a keyboard.
I have preorder the controller, but I order after they changed the estimated shipping date to the 20th. I don't know if any controllers have been shipped yet. I have heard of some people being able to connect a Xbox 360 controller to their phone with USB adapter for the wireless dongle; so in theory, you may be able to use it with the phone.
Bump, looking for the same thing, anyone tested the controller with GTA3/emulators/etc? Does Bluez IME work?
There's a thread in the Flyer/View forum where a member states that it does work with emulators. I believe that HC 3.2+ is required for tablets and ICS for phones in order for it to work, though.
I have two Amazon Fire TV's both rooted with the latest custom roms, Kodi 14.0a3 and several of the emulators side-loaded including RetroArch, along with a 32gb flash drive in a USB hub, along with a usb dongle for the wireless keyboard. I cannot get any of the emulators to work with multiplayer gaming. I have the following controllers:
RedScorpion Bluetooth Controller
Ouya Controller
Vizio Co-Star Controller
several generic USB controllers (PS3 style and XBOX)
Can someone tell me what the best controllers would be? I cannot figure out what controllers or settings I need to configure to allow any of these games to play multiplayer. I have a big family gathering coming up and would love to get the games to work.
I'm really frustrated and would love any and all advice at this point. I've read some people had success with a PS3 controller, others with PS4 controllers (albeit with Bluetooth issues) running Sixaxis, but I've also heard some say that the Xbox360 Controller works wirelessly, and others say it has to be wired.
If you've gotten this to work, please share your setup so I can copy it.
Thanks in advance,
Jesse
[edit]this should probably be moved to general
This has probably been said in other forums, but I found this xbox 360 controller receiver through watching a youtube video
(between https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrTmsZIb0a8 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWCpVIsYgeU)

Just hook it up to the Shields usb, click the button on the receiver and the controller to sync, and just like that you can have 4 other controllers for multiplayer games.
I haven't yet figured out how to get the xbox 360 controllers LED to stop flashing
I used to use one of those with my laptop to play emulators. The controllers never do stop flashing. They are working correctly, but they just flash the whole time. Always did. However unless you are super OCD it's probably not a big problem.

Did you have any problem using Xbox controller and Shield controller at same time (co-op gaming)?
NSTV can´t recognize Xbox controller as a second gamepad, so in games with co-op I can't use them both...

Nop. Contacted Nvidia, but they say that don't support other controllers....
My only solution is: restart NSTV with only the Xbox controllers connected when I want to use multiple controllers. Otherwise restart NSTV with the Xbox controllers disconnected.

OK, so co-op is possible but only with multiple controllers from one brand, so either the xbox ones or the ones from the shield, but it's not possible to play co-op with one shield and one xbox controller. Did i understand that Right?

Yes. That only happens with wired controllers.
If you use a bluetooth controller it works fine with NSTV controller (only tested with a Xiaomi gamepad). The only problem is key mapping... I can´t use L and R buttons.
there are some games, that don't recognize other controllers than nvidia, but not many.

If you don't mind a bit of extra work, and your Shield is rooted, you can buy a non-Microsoft adapter for a quarter of the price. You need to make a few changes to the /system/usr/keylayout/ folder, but it takes no more than 5 minutes. I paid just £4.75 for my adapter off eBay with free delivery.

thanks
Will this change change fix the dpad not working, with cheap adapter? I'm currently building a arcade stick using a wireless controller board and the lack of a dead is giving me headaches.
Hi all,
Did anyone got this working? I have a xbox360 wireless controller and an Nvidia Shield remote controller but am not able to play Mortal Kombat with both controllers simultaneously... ?
I actually played Rocket League with the Nvidia Controller and 3 wireless xbox controller. It worked after I started the game with the Nvidia controller and then connected the wireless receiver for the xbox controller. I was so happy that it worked!
But then I realized that all my other games - which have co-op gaming - do not support this! But rocket league proves that it is technically possible...
Did anyone got this thing to work for other co-op games?
This thread has put my mind at ease a bit. I connected one 360 pad with the wireless dongle and was really annoyed that it was also Player 1 like the Shield Pad. The flashing light was also odd. I have some more 360 pads though so will try for 4 player this evening
It's so stupid: we can play Bombsquad with one SATV controller and one Xbox360 with Microsoft adapter, but it doesn't work on Trine 2.
Is it possible to connect 2 xbox360 wireless usb adapter to my Shield-TV? I wanna use 8 xbox360 wireless controller.

Tried to connect Xbox 1 controller to my SHield (2017), but unfortunately no dice.
I want to use more than one Gamepad at the Nvidia Shield (2017).
I can stream games from my desktop-PC via GameStream in GeForce Experience to the NV-Shield. This works fine, but not for Multiplayer games like Duckgame for example.
I tested connecting 2 XBOX360 Cable –Gamepads: They both work, but they both control player one.
I tested 2 XBOX360 Wireless Controller with the Microsoft dongle: Both gamepads work but they all control player one.
I tested XBOX One Wireless Controller with the big Dongle: The controllers doesn't work at all.
I tested XBOX One Wireless Controller (Bluetooth): Controller works but only controls player one.
I tested all combinations from the different controller including the Nvidia controller, but all controllers only control player one.

You should check out: https://www.virtualhere.com/
This guy is made a damn great software, supported all known OS's!
Sideload the app onto your shield and the software to the pc. Then you can use your XBOX-360 wireless adapter on your pc. All should work.
You can use share 1 usb device in free-client mode.

Is there an NES emulator (or preferably a multi-console emulator with NES support) that works well with the Fire TV 2nd Gen and paired Bluetooth gamepads? The gamepads in question are specifically ASUS brand, but they are Android compatible, pair properly to the Fire TV without any additional apps or mods (i.e., no settings.apk needed), and they both work with all gamepad compatible Fire TV apps. Unfortunately, none of the emulators that I've tried appear to receive input from the controller once I start a game. Here are the emulators that I've tried:
Latest Retroarch (both Play Store and directly from Libretro).
NES.emu
Nostalgia.NES
RetroFC
John NES Lite
Has anyone had success with an NES emulator and game controllers? Did you need to change settings? Any insight would be appreciated!

I use the Amazon Fire Game Controller and Dualshock 4 with all my emulators.
I use Retroarch with both my rooted Fire TV 2 and rooted Fire Stick, i use 2 x ps3 pads on the Fire Stick (connected with the help of sideloaded SixAxis apk, to which works flawlessly (a little of a bugger to set up as enabling SixAxis knocks the bluetooth connection off but to compensate for this i have the 'enable otg script' auto start at boot and have a 2.4ghz airmouse/keyboard combo remote plugged into my home made powered OTG). Ive actually got 3 ps3 dualshock pads and they all connect at the same time and is a blast with Super Bomberman. Just have to make sure you have them all setup correctly.
As for the Fire TV 2, ive got a 'Rii GP500' android pad connected through bluetooth and if im wanting 2 players on this i have to connect the only other type of controller i have which works, a wired Xbox One pad, ive not got the Wireless adapter to try out no have i got a 360 pad with the wireless adapter to try ( i have read the 360 wireless adapter does work with the Fire TV to use your 360 pad wirelessly). Unfortunatly the ps3 pads refuse to work on the Fire TV 2 no matter what i try (guttered as the ps3 dualshocks are great), i have read that they dowork with Fire TV 1 tho.
Ive also had connected another type of android pad to both Fire TV 2 and Fire Stick, the Ipega 9068, there is quite a few different variations of Ipega bluetooth pads and dont see why they wouldn't work.
As long as you set them up properly in Retroarch i cant see why you would have difficulty.
Saying that when i once tried to plug 2 Xbox one pads in wired, i could not get Retroarch to detect properly, i dont know if it was the case it seen 2 controllers as 1 or not.
My advice would be to setup 1 correctly then save the setup in Retroarch then try adding another, but before commiting to buy see if you can borrow one to try out, or go for any of the compatable ones (if applicable to you) ive tested.
SNES9X Ex+ also working perfectly even with 8Bitdo controllers...
Hello
I use fire tv Gen2 and xbox 360 controller. I play some games by controller.
It doesn't matter when I play only using one controller.
But I tried to 2player game and pluggled 2 controller in usb hub (multi connect).
It stop and doesn't work.
Have anyone any idea to solve this issue?
Probably 2 controllers draw too much power for just one USB port of the FireTV. Try using an active hub (one with a separate power supply).
