N64oid Touch Pads w/ Game Keyboard?

I'll get right to the question, is it possible to use the touch pads on N64oid with Game keyboard? And if so, how?
I tried it briefly today and could not get it working.
- Thanks.

I see no reason why one would do this.
1) Mupen 64 already uses the analog sticks mapped to the Xperia Play touch pad.
2) In emulators such as N64oid you have the option to map the Dpad OR the Analog stick to the Xperia Play Dpad.
Now even if you got the mappings to work right you would only have 1 sort of input... the Dpad.
Which then again limits you to only use Dpad or Analog stick with the Xperia Play Dpad.
Or am I missing something here?
Yes I was: support Xperia Play Touchpad in Gingerbread (need root)
PS: Just gave it a shot, I can not get it to work aswell on N64oid.
(Not just the analog stick, it refuses to take any input from the Gamekeyboard app.)

yea it is possible. i had to try A LOT before getting it to work, because n64oid behaves really badly with gamekeyboard... you have to adjust the gamepad without actually seeing the n64 onscreen controls, as you can't put the gamepad onscreen with n64oid. also, to be able to press more than a button at a time, you actually have to map keys with n64oid and NOT with gamekeyboard (mapping the other buttons to stuff like numbers in the app), and only putting touchpads on the analog stick and c-buttons.
I also found out it's better to get the onscreen left touchpad as big as you can, because otherwise you.. won't be able to run. -_- you'd have to tap the exact border of the touchpad.
Edit: if you want I can upload my gkp.
Finally, the c-buttons mapped to the right touchpad.. well I can't get them to work perfectly. Either one of these happens: you'll have "down c" presses while pressing left or right, or you'll always have left/right presses even if you press both left and right.
Maybe it's due to the fact that I set the n64oid control size to "small"; if you set it to medium, maybe it'll be difficult to run using the analog stick because the ratio touchpad size/analog stick size won't be large enough. I haven't tried this yet however.
I personally mapped both the right touchpad and some buttons to the c-buttons.
@Thaevil0ne: mupen64 uses touchpads, but it still is kinda laggy and has many graphical bugs. Gamekeyboard lets you actually use the Play touchpads, so mapping them to the onscreen analog stick, and then hiding it works like mupen, without the lag.
If you want I can upload my profile. But maybe it will better to wait for a good mupen64 release

Yes, please do upload you profile.
Also, the way you use the layout inside N64oid is small and Bottom + bottom?

yes, the controls are set like this.
here is the gkp:
http://www.mediafire.com/?ipw9pro1p873zc6

I'm kinda confused here, I'm trying to use the left touchpad for moving and the right for c buttons.
If at all possible.

they are mapped like that. as I wrote though the right touchpad is not always accurate with the touchpads, so I mapped triangle, circle and select to tree of the c-buttons, also.

Ight cool, I'll try tinkering with the C buttons and if I find a better map set up ill post it you cool with that?

I wonder if Mupen64Plus AE will be faster thatn n64oid some day, i've seen that they are beta testing a 2.0 version of it, i hope it runs better on the Play-

Yea, I'm just waiting for a fast version of mupen64.
@Xperia Player: of course you can tinker with the gkp, I'd love to have the right touchpad working 100%. Maybe setting the control size to medium in n64oid could help with that, but that might mess up the analog stick, I mean, it could be difficult to run without touching the very edge of the left touchpad

Yeah I tried that, makes the analog stick almost impossible to use, if game keyboard gave you the option to make the sticks even bigger and smaller it could work... I don't see why N64oid doesn't already have those controls implemented.

[Q] Best app to use it as a PC gamepad?

I was wondering what's the best app out there to use the xperia play as a PC gamepad, including the option to use the accelerometers as a wheel/flight stick/kind of analog pad, obviously the hardware button and, if at all possible, use the analog pads in the xperia play

As far as I know splashtop gamepad is the best in this purpose.

Suggestion
Try Njoy for me works

But njoy doesn't use the accelerometer, right? I was trying using Droidmote, which does, to control Dirt 2 with accelerometers, but I also have to mess with the whateverthatmakesitlooklike an xbox controller on the PC side. I'll probably mess with it some time during the weekend.

set tilt left and tilt right to any left/right button. hope u understand my crap english and hope it helps

Use the Xperia Play as a bluetooth gamepad for Windows?

Hi there.
I would like to know if there's any way to use our Xperia Play and its game controls to play on Windows (7 or 8) via Bluetooth (not wifi).
I know this has been asked some time, but I haven't found any good solution.

Nobody knows anything about this? O__o

For Bluetooth, i think you can use DroidMote. Droidmote allows you to connect to a PC through Bluetooth i believe and use it as a mouse, keyboard, or Gamepad. It wasn't very good as a gamepad to me because you cannot press more than one button at a time. If you can settle for a WiFi Gamepad, i really recommend nJoy. nJoy allows you to connect through WiFi if the PC is on the same network and use it as a mouse, keyboard, and Gamepad. This is the best to me because you can press more buttons like a real controller and it is remappable straight away. The only downside to nJoy is that it's not free, but it isn't too expensive and i would definitely say they deserve the money for such a great app.

Ok I finally did it.
It's easy, just get an app that lets you use your mobile as a gamepad via bluetooth using its onscreen controls, then you get Game Keyboard to play on those onscreen controls with the controls of the Xperia Play. And voilá, you will use the Xperia Play as a bluetooth gamepad on Windows.
So I used Ultimate Gamepad + Game Keyboard. Sad that there's no app that supports the Xperia Play touchpad, that + Game Keyboard would be perfect... Isn't there any gamepad app that has obviously the normal game controls (d-pad, action buttons...) but has analog sticks on the onscreen controls?

Gamepads for the note, remapping keys without root?

Hi
I've been toying with the idea of using the note as amongst other things a sort of game tab.
With that said, I've been researching around the web and found a plethora of gampads both usb and BT.
Now the one thing that seems to be an issue is game support and remapping of keys.Also in alot of cases ( samsung gamepad!!! ) you also have to repurchase the games either from playstore or from developer xxxxxx market .
I've tested a few , amongst them steelseries free, but there is always something missing.
For example I love the size and feel of the steelseries, but the game support is so so, and even games that it does support have missing features/ functions. Best example GTA 3 + steelseries free = no button for horn in the game ( a few missions actually need that)
Now I've considered getting a ps3 controller, but I'm not planing to root my unit anytime soon ( unless the whole knox issue is sorted), but then I'm left with the question is there a way to remap key without root?
Or for that mater are there any other controllers that would allow that without root??
Anyone?

Check out the Nyko Playpad. I BELIEVE with the Nyko Playground app you might be able to do the reconfiguration to your liking.
My review of the pad is here: http://reviews.greenrobotgamer.com/game-review/nyko-playpad-pro-controller/

Can anyone confirm the remapping of nyko is possible without root??

Anyone have anything to add to this?

Try a wired ps3 pad with sixassix or however its spelt its not to problematic but unsure if you can remap without root but I'm sure that will be your best bet its quite easy to remap and build touch profiles just search YouTube and you will be well away

I have a moga controller and use the universal moga driver app. It allows me to use the controller as a virtual keypad (gamepad mode requires root) and it works just fine for my PSOne and SNES games.

I'd also recommend the moga pro. Best gamepad out there. Official and unofficial driver app, for gamepad or keyboard input and complete 360 style layout. Also very nice attachment for smartphones and works with alot of games out of the box and all emulators i tried have a profile for it. Epsxe for example even with analog support.

Can you confirm key remapping and " touchscreen "support ?

Hm not sure if I understand correctly what you mean so I'll try
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.obsidianx.android.mogaime
with this app you can use the gamepad in "keyboard mode" meaning you can map any button on the gamepad to any "key" possible on the android keyboard. In this mode all keys are digital buttons though including the analog sticks, because that's the way keyboards work. This works without root.
The app has a gamepad mode which enables full analog support for the sticks but that requires root.
-->BUT there is an official moga app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bda.pivot.mogapgp) which also has two modes which you can switch to with the controller itself. There is a "moga" mode (green light) and a standard HID gamepad mode (orange light). With those two modes you're able to basically play every android game that has built in gamepad support, including full analog sticks. And both the ps1 emulator i use (epsxe) and the N64 emu (Mupen64) work with one of those modes out of the box. I don't even have the universal driver installed anymore because it is not needed in most cases.
Now to your other thing, I believe you mean mapping touchscreen input to the buttons? Bad news: There is no app or controller that allows you to do that without root. As far as I know at least, and I was following the development of those apps quite closely, even worked as a beta tester for this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.poke64738.usbjoygold

Just the info I was looking for
While on the subject, does the sixaxis app work without root? Might be able to get my hands on a ps3 controller.
Strongly considering moga at this point.
btw any experience with the moga pocket or hero (small one) ??

Sixaxis and a PS3 controller work very well, have touchscreen support and allow remapping but you have to be rooted. I have used Sixaxis on my Xoom and S4 (both of which are rooted) but thanks to Samsung and their stupid Knox nonsense, I cannot use Sixaxis on my Note.

I figured that you need root to get touchscreen part working, but do you need root for the rest ( on the sixaxis app) ie will it work at all without root?
Not keen on shelling out 25$ and realising that I might as well bought a moga hero or pocket for a 10 or so more that would to the job just as well.

btw any thoughts on nyko playpad vs moga hero or pocket?

Just read the description of the app on play store. The first line under important says Root required. So yes it needs root. And I'm sure you'll find reviews of those controllers on YouTube.

You can connect a ps3 controller to a android wireless but you will need root privileges. An OTG Cable Could be used to connect the controll with a wire and without root.

Help to remap third party remote and default apps

Hi... i bought (test and return) 8 keyboards to test on my satv and liked none... then... with no hope... i bought this:
Aerb 2.4G Mini Wireless Keyboard Mouse Multifunctional W Infrared Remote Learning & [3-Gyro + 3-Gsensor] Air Control for Google Android Smart TV Box G Box IPTV HTPC Mini PC Windows iOS MAC Linux PS3 Xbox 360
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K768DHY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
That was GREAT.... i dont want make an ad from this post but the gyro for mouse movement is amazin....
My first question is.... there is any way to remap keys? i have tried tincore and seems not work... all keys works great but 1.... back... have to turn remote and use [esc] on qwerty keyboard.... not such a big deal but would be great to remap to any other....
My second question is... when press on mediaplayer key it launches google music.... i want to launch mx player.... or when pressing internet key it launches chrome and i like to launch opera....
Thats is... thanx in advance and if you have the chance test this control...

I am interested in this too?

Have you learned any information about this yet? I just ordered the same remote, but the MX3 model with voice button/microphone.
I read there is a Kodi add-on called Keymap Editor, but I would like to know how to program other buttons for my TV and Nvidia Shield Android TV box.
Any information would be helpful. Thanks.

where do you the keymap file on kodi on the shield?

I dont know if this will help your situation but theres quite an extensive gui keymapper addon for kodi called keymap editor, pretty good when i tested it at the time, you can have the same key perform different functions depending on where you happen to be in kodi i.e. homescreen, addon, video playing etc etc

I have an almost identical remote (slightly different colours seems to be the only difference -- see here). It's fantastic once you sort the button issues out. The back key problem is that it's not recognised by any keymapping application, so do what I did, remap the menu key to back instead. I rarely use the menu key and I'm rooted and have LMT Launcher running with a pie menu button anyway so it's there on the rare occasion I do need it. But I use back all the time. I used this application to remap it and it works perfectly.
As for the Mediaplayer button, I'll look into it tonight.

does the voice button on the remote work for nvidia shield?

has anyone tried it?

Hey, I have the same remote as you. I'll give the remapping a shot when I get home today.
Curious, did you also have issues with the large select button in the middle of the remote? I can mouse all over the screen, but I can't actually select anything. Did you have to remap that too?
Thanks.

Hi guys! I wanted to point out that i made a comment on a post here on this remote:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tv/general/mouse-click-behavior-t3290739/page2
Unfortunately I just cannot figure out how to configure the mouse button, aside from messing with code in the kernel itself. But I noticed some of you are looking for a keylayout for the remote. I have the version with the microphone, not the internet explorer button. Im not sure if its the same but you can try reading my post and have a shot at it. good luck!

I have the version of this remote with the voice button. it works on the shield but the issue is that it doesnt work in the same way as the voice button on the remote/gamepad. you have to manually select the voice button on screen, then when the beep for voice, hold down the voice button on the remote and say what you need to say. the voice button essentially opens and closes the voice channel on the mic on the remote. I have not seen a way to tie this as an actual keycode, and i think the remote might not even register the button as a scancode either. so i dont think you can simpley press or hold the button to have it automatically open the voice bar on android tv.
