anyone try usb controllers?

Hey, did anyone here use USB controllers through an otg cable? If so did it work with emulators?
I'm going to buy a USB nes controller for nesoid and find out but I would be happier knowing that people here have been able to do things like this. I use my Bluetooth keyboard just fine so I hope it is as easy as that.

I have read about people having success with usb controllers. I know I do.

I tried a Logitech USB controller connected to a hub. It worked flawlesslyand i was able to map all the keys.

That is good to hear. Since I can HDMI out my xoom to my TV I can get the true experience practically without trying to buy another nes.
On a side note: why is everybody using USB hubs? Ever since USB hosting I have noticed it is a common thing lying around the house. Maybe one day when I have more USB peripherals I will understand but right now everything is Bluetooth.

I've tested two controllers so far, a PS3 one, and a PS2 controller connected via a USB adapter.
The PS3 worked perfectly except for in N64oid, I could map all the buttons, but for some reason the d-pad and analog sticks don't work to move Mario around in Mario 64 (the only game I've tested). It worked great in FPse, SNESoid, etc, etc.
The PS2 controller connected to a USB adapter would work to move the screen around, but when I tried to map any keys in apps they would just show as "unknown"

My Super Dual Box Pro doesn't seem to work right with the -oid series of emulators. Analog up/down/left/right works ok in the emulator menus, but none of the buttons do anything in the game, even after mapping. All of the buttons say "unknown".

I use a hub because I keep all my ROMs on it. I plug in my controller and thumbdrive. I believe that you can also plug in an additional controller for multiplayer games line Mario Kart.

Bluetooth controller

Hey,
I'm looking for a Bluetooth/Wireless controller to play and emulate games on my 10.1v.
What's the best solution for now ? PS3, Wii, other ?
I want to be able to play without a wire and with a tool that is frequently updated (for better support). If it's not the right time (maybe some controllers have been announced), I'll wait as well...
Thanks !

I hear good things about phonejoy (http://www.phonejoy.net/product-description.html), however I haven't taken the plunge yet. Seems kind of expensive (after shipping) just for a bluetooth controller.
I did install the xbox usb module a while back and plugged in my xbox controller and that worked pretty good. My only gripe is having to plug in the usb adapter and the huge cord. So I am in the same boat as you. Still looking for the perfect bluetooth controller.

I've got XBOX controller but as you say...the wire is killing it for me. That plus that we have to buy that crappy USB adapator. Don't even know how does the Tab still stand when that port is connected.
What about the wii controller ? Any feedback ?

I use a PS3 wireless controller, works pretty well. You will have to "enable" the driver manually to connect the controller then you can launch your favorite emulator. You can find the driver from mkt place, but you also need to install the software on your PC to re-write the bluetooth mac address. all the buttons, joystick, directional pads, can be assigned to whatever key u want...
google "motioninjoy" for more info on the driver (sorry system wont let me post outside links...)

Thanks.
How would you describe it in terms of responsiveness/ease of use/app support ?

After some more digging, I think this solution works best :
http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/09/sixaxis-controller-android-app-makes-firing-off-hadoukens-easy-a/
There are a couple of vids on youtube demonstrating it, but it will basically take a dualshock bluetooth playstation controller ($20) and work wirelessly.
I haven't tested it out since I don't own the controller. I was about to buy one, when I realized that I spend most of my time playing tower or racing games designed for the tablet, which would not make use of a gamepad.

Thanks a lot. I'd be interested to know where you can get a $20 one too...

I've been using Sixaxis for a while now. It works great with no noticeable lag. I mostly use it for all the emulators. Fortunately I already had a PS3 so I didn't have to buy a new controller.

[XOOM 2] Xoom 2 ME - Joypad support?

Since Honeycomb provides support for various game controllers, I thought I'd give my Xbox 360 controllers a try. Neither the wired or wireless (via MS USB/wireless adapter) devices are recognised by my Xoom 2 ME.
I am using a USB OTG cable that works perfectly with a flash drive and a mouse.
Logcat shows no entries at all when the Xbox controllers are plugged in, which perhaps suggests that the stock firmware doesn't support them.
Has anyone else been able to get USB joypads or other game controllers to work with the Xoom 2 natively? I'm avoiding IME hacks and suchlike as I would like something that will work with the new controller APIs.

I know there's only about three people in the world (other than me) who actually bought the Xoom 2 ME, but surely one of you has a joypad you can test out?

I spotted a cheap-ish controller (£17) when out shopping and decided to give it a try.
I got the Power-A Air-Flo PS3 controller, which actually has an overall layout similar to an Xbox 360 controller (which is what I'm used to).
This was recognised by the X2ME straight away and I was able to have a quick game of Cordy with it. As a bonus, and since it's a standard HID controller, it works on my Ubuntu laptop as well.
So perhaps the X2ME is a bit fussier about its controllers than some other tablets, or perhaps there's additional tweaking needed to get the Xbox controllers working.
My ultimate aim is to be able to plug this tablet into a TV in a hotel room via HDMI and use it as a portable games console. Currently I'm having trouble with the Micro-HDMI to HDMI connection and I'm not sure if it's a problem with the cable, the socket on the X2ME, or some software issue. So far I have been able to get a picture to appear on the TV only intermittently and haven't yet had both the game controller and the HDMI output working at the same time.
Edit: Have just managed to get the HDMI out running for long enough to test with the controller and it worked really well. Once I have figured out the reason for the intermittent HDMI output, it'll be time to find games available for the X2ME that support an external controller

I realise I'm pretty much just talking to myself on this thread, so here's a picture to liven things up ;-)

i just tried two usb controllers
logitect rumblePad 2(normal pc game controller) that's works perfectly and a logitect chillstream (windows recognize it as an xbox360 controller) that's is not working (although powerup and tablet recognized it )

Thanks for the info. It is starting to look like there may be an issue recognising Xbox-type controllers, though it's based on a rather small sample at this stage

Very cool. Thanks for the info! I may try and get my Classic Controller + WiiMote to do the same thing via Bluetooth, which I've done before on my old G2.

[Q] which plug and Play game controller?

Hi,
I'm wanting a good game controller for use with game emulation. I have connected my PS3 controller by Bluetooth but it cant be used at the same time as the firetv remote.
Can anyone recommend me a good one? I don't mind wired controller, just want a plug and play solution
Thanks

Hard Candy controllers are great and they are plug and play. Plus they take regular batteries so you don't have to worry about charging yur controller. I personally hate the idea of a rechargable controller.

I'm using the Logitech f710 controller which comes with a usb Wi-Fi dongle, seems to work fine on the games I've tested so far.

USB-C or wireless gamepad support?

Gamepad support was never an issue prior to getting the Pixel XL. Xbox One nor DS4 controllers will register anything with games that are confirmed gamepad compatible. I've tried OTG cable with both controllers and even tried my luck using DS4 through bluetooth. The device recognizes that there's something connected to the USB-C port, however there's no interaction. Anybody else experiencing the same issues/found a work around?
Thank you

My Moga Power gamepad works fine via Bluetooth, maybe just an issue with wired controllers?

That very well could be it.. I'd hate to have to invest in another controller.
The weird part is that the games recognize there is a controller attached..

Xbox one controller isn't working at all on pixel xl. Any update on this?
