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?

I have my Evo running an AOSP ROM and I have PSX4DROID, SNES, Gameboid, N64oid as my emulators. I went out yesterday and purchased a WiiMote (just the remote) but apparently that isn't enough.
I will mainly be using it for N64 (have to get my Zelda fix) and Mario Kart 64. I tried opening Mario Kart 64 and mapping the keys. I mapped all the keys and when I launched the game I could not turn with the D-PAD on the Wiimote.
I successfully paired the with WiiMoteController (app) but it won't turn left or right. I can do everything else but it kind of defeats the purpose.
Questions
Should I be mapping the keys within the N64 emulator app (what I've been doing) or map the keys in the WiiMoteController app?
Do I also need to buy the Nunchuck attachment?
Is it possible to just have the WiiMote and use that for my gaming?
Is there a Wii Controller attachment that I can slide my Wiimote into to turn it into a full fledge controller?
Why don't the Rom Gripper & Rom Gripper ++ download any ROMs? Are the servers down?
I'm confused and frustrated as I was trying all night to play around with it. I also want to mention that I didn't have success in the Zelda app either.
Wii-mote alone doesnt have sufficient buttons for the N64. Really its lacking to even cover the SNES.
Mostly I game using GBA, because of this. To combat it, you can get the classic controller plugin - http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-nintendo/dp/B000IN0BSU
Which plugs into the wiimote, and should map through the WiiMoteController app, though I havent tried to see for sure. Personally I want it totally portable, and dont want to have to carry a third thing. I wish they would just make a wireless wii classic controller to work on its own. But alas...
Another problem you may be encountering with N64 and PSX, is mapping analog to digital. You are familiar with the analog controls of the original, but as I understand it, you can only map the classic controller as keyboard input, which turns them into digital control (full on, full off, like a keyboard button press). For many games that wont matter, but for many it will. Just another consideration.
Don't know anything about romgripper though, I only backup my games that I have bought with tools built from scratch

you mean the Datel Retro wireless controller? That's what I bought. Think of it as a classic controller with the wiimote built inside
http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Retro-Wireless-Controller-Nintendo/dp/B001ULJGDU
I laugh at everyone getting a wiimote + classic controller for use with their phones, lol. Who the hell wants to carry that around?
Hell, I don't even use the datel controller that much (thank god I have a wii to use it with as well). Like I'm going to carry a controller with me everywhere I go, seriously.
I just choose games that work well with touchscreen controls (like strategy games and rpgs)
So do you recommend me getting a nunchuck along with my WiiMote or returning the Wiimote and buying the Datel?
I downloaded the ROM before (I do own all the games I downloaded) and I only care about those 2 games.
well getting a nunchuck isn't really going to solve your problem of not having enough buttons for N64 and PSX games...
and about the controller still not working after you mapped the buttons, you still have to switch to the controller in the standard Android input settings (like switch away from an onscreen keyboard) AS WELL as enabling the "input option" within the emulators. Like in Gameboid, if you go into "other settings" you will find an input option that you have to toggle (in addition to simply mapping the keys in the controls section).

I get 5 to 10 emails/PMs a day about this, you're going to want to get the Datel Retro Wireless. Wiimotes are only good for NES and Sega Master System.
I have the Sixxaxis app that lets you use a PS3 controller on android devices but can't seem to figure out how to configure it to emulate the same button configuration as the Xperia Play hardware controls. Anyone use this and have it setup working okay. Specifically I want to play Nova and Modern Combat 3 using the dual shock cause I can't stand the touchpads.
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
I would like to know what the best app for making the XPlay a PC Gamepad is. Preferably a WIFI Gamepad like DroidMote. DroidMote makes the XPlay's D-pad mapped to the Arrow keys, which is useless for emulators since you can't press more than one Arrow key at a time. Is there a better one that actually have all the keys mapped as GamePad Buttons to allow me to press more than one key at a time? Or could someone make a simple one that works through WIFI?
Thanks!
From time to time i use pcon
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.pcon
It can be used over wifi, play's keys are bounded to pc keyboard's keys (so it can be used both with wasd and arrow key games)
On pc side, program is running in browser
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

Look's promising and i'll try it, but by the reviews, it seems there are loads of problems. X and L button not working, App closing from D-pad interaction, X not having a mapping, and O and L having the same mapping. I wish someone would actually make a proper gamepad for XPlay... But i'll give this a try!
I've found the perfect one! nJoy is the best i have found so far since it allows you to map the buttons to any key on the keyboard. I'll be using that from now on and i recommend this one to people who are trying to find a good app for this! Thanks for your help!
DroidMote client is made to interact also with real internal and external hardware controller and you can press all buttons and analog sticks
simultaneously
As example: the internal controller of the nvidia shield or any other external controller that is recognized from android as standard controller and use the standard customizable keylayout.
You can see examples in this videos:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BM6W3Dq_yqQ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTDCMRbg2Lc
The d-pad of xperia play is not a standard analog stick, for this reason is automatically mapped as arrow. but you can solve with many tools on windows. For example joytokey v5 can transorm any buttons in what you want on your emulator or game.
Instead for normal configuration with a real hardware controller internal or external you can use x360ce for configurations like in this video:

this information are related to the last client and last windows server. UPDATE your droidmote windows server if you can't press buttons simultaneously

I got the latest version from the forums and it didn't allow multipressing. Also, neither x360ce or Xpadder worked to re-map the controls. nJoy allows this within their program so it works very well. And DroidMote makes the face buttons actual button mappings, and the D-pad keyboard mappings so it's more difficult to get it working. nJoy maps all to Keyboard Keys. I'll be using nJoy from now on until i find a superior one.
Unfortunately, the PS5 does not use a standard HID controller, so the buttons are not set correctly. Fortunately, emulator programs are able to remap the buttons. This way you can play our favorite games with it.
