From time to time I will try and play a game on the OUYA and my controller will look in the menus on both the system and in the game but I can not start a game.
Hard to explain but for an example lets say I want to play the game Ice Rage, well I select the game and it loads But in the game I can only go through the menus. When I select single play or multiplayer I can not actually start the game. I can press back to the previous menu screen and scroll through them but I can not play the game.
This happen s randomly and in multiple games. Ive noticed that once this happens no games will work. I thought maybe I got a bad unit so I went back to the store and exchanged it and it is still happening on this one. Both the OUYA controller and xbox controller has this issue which leads me belive it is not an actuall controller problem but maybe a operating or firmware issue.
Has this been a common problem and is it an easy fix?

Can someone else confirm that the physical keyboard keys get disabled when making flash games go full screen? I was just trying to play a few that I knew had wasd controls and as soon as I would maximize the game to full screen, the keyboard wouldn't work in game anymore. If I left it minimized in the browser, it worked fine...
Anyone else notice this?
i played kitten cannon the other day on addictinggames and i was able to use the space bar just fine to launch the cat even in full screen mode
hmm, it may have been the games I was playing then. I'll try some at addicting games instead and see if I still have issues.
Thanks!
The FPSE forum seems to be moving at a pretty slow pace so I'm hopeful that I may be able to find some assistance here more quickly.
For a while I've had the FPSE Playstation emulator on my Samsung Epic 4G Touch and it has worked pretty well for me thus far. I have recently decided to try getting Final Fantasy VII to work and the game will start up as normal bringing me to the opening credits video. This is where my problem becomes apparent. Any key input doesn't get registered. If anything messing around with the settings has only made it worse as originally the screen would still vibrate when pressed, but now it doesn't even do that. (For other games the vibration seems to be missing now regardless of the feedback setting, though key input is still registered.) As a result I'm left unable to reach the screen where you start a new game as the opening video will continue to loop until any key input is registered. Essentially the game is unplayable while this issue persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ive played that game not to long ago but stopped because when tifa gets her "break" skill the game goes like 1 fps so i gave up afterwards. But from what ur experiencing maybe its fpse update ? I havent tried it since ive stopped but i know fpse has been updating.

Sorry friend, this sounds more like a App problem so you probably aren't going to be able to get much help here. Have you tried emailing the developer?
I'm experiencing this strange glitch with at least the left and right buttons of the D-pad. They don't respond at all, then they respond, then they don't again annoyingly, by which time I've crashed or died or whatever.
This is only in FPSE and N64oid, I've not experienced it in an Android game, and it's often at similar points in the level I'm playing, which made me think it was a software issue rather than a hardware fault I'd have to send it in to Sony for.
I first experienced it about 3-4 weeks ago. It seemed to be related to .58 enhanced firmware v1, because it went away after I made a fresh flash of .42. It was fine for all of those three weeks, in which I went back to .62, ran ICS, GBXPlay, NXT 1.3 Light, all on different LuPuS kernels, but now it's started happening again, and is still happening whatever nandroid of any of those I restore.
Anyway, has anyone else had this or got an idea what it might be...? I'll hold off reflashing the firmware and starting all over just in case anyone knows what this is...
edit: Hmm. It's happening still on DoomLord's Advanced Stock Kernel for GB .42/.58/.62.
I'm at a total loss now. :crying:
I thought it might be a soft keyboard service interfering with inputs from the D-pad so tried freezing those, no joy... The D-pad freezes up within seconds of playing an actual game on FPSE or N64oid.
Did a complete reflash of 2.3.4 .42 generic firmware with Flashtool, installed FPSE even without rooting or doing anything and the D-pad is still locking up.
The problem is I don't see how sending it in would get it fixed, because it just seems to be a problem with emulators. It works fine on every Android game and would no doubt work fine in the service menu too... they'd just send it back to me.
Gamepad is OK: GTA 3, Blazing Star, Asphalt 7, Super Crate Box.
Gamepad is weird: FPSE, N64oid, Tiger Arcade.
OK I think I've fixed it: it's physical. I took the battery cover off and replaced it and touch wood the problem seems to have gone away.
I had problems before pressing the power button because of the cover.
I went into the service menu (*#*#7378423#*#*) and tried the Keyboard test. I found if I pressed menu or possibly one of the D-pad keys once it would register repeatedly.
Kind of interesting why it only affected emulators. They may not use the same API as Android games for the gamepad, and read them as generic key presses or something, like the service menu, but if it's a purely physical problem with the battery cover, then I don't understand why that would come into it. Fingers crossed I've fixed it. :cyclops:
Perhaps reflashing only seemed to fix it last time because I might have had a problem that required a battery pull...
I got d pad freez too on fpse, emulator bug

Hello,
Just a couple of quick questions regarding Netflix, maybe it only involves a simple fix. Went through and got cm11 running very smooth on the ouya. No hiccups, bugs, or major setbacks with anything. Everything that I use seems to be working fine, except for Netflix.
It loads properly and seems to work, but ever since I hit the "expand" button in the lower right corner, it won't back out of full screen. It would pull any controls whether I click on screen or press any buttons on my keyboard. The only way to back out is by pressing ESC on my keyboard.
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app, rebooting after logging in, deleting the data/cache from the app, also tried installing a couple of older apk's(3.0 & 2.4?) And the problem is still there. Granted its such a minor setback in a huge breakthrough overall, but I was just wondering how to fix that.
Factory reset? Maybe just a bug with Netflix for android? I don't have any other means of trying this out. Regardless, cm11 has brought new life into this console, thanks !!

Yeah, apparently that's normal behavior for us CM11 folks.. (Actually not sure if it's the same in stock ROM because I didn't try it on stock)
I get the same thing no matter what controller or remote I try. It seems like Netflix doesn't recognize or acknowledge player control / commands on the device or ROM. It does respond to 'left' and 'right' arrow commands for rewind a scene/chapter and skip, respectively, however... But to pause you have to hit 'Back' or 'Esc' and hope it actually picks up in the same spot you exited out of the video stream... I don't seem to mind it so much compared to the other issue I'm seeing: Sometimes the video gets stuck or freezes on a frame, but the audio will continue. The video will eventually catch up, but apparently it occurs most often when another device is using just a bit of Internet bandwidth... However, my WDTV box seems to handle that much better. I'm assuming because I never see Netflix do any buffering on the Ouya, and I don't see any setting that helps with that.
I managed to get netflix on a stockplus ROM. I honest don't remember how the controls were, didn't use it much. I also don't remember which apk it was, other than it had a black loading screen.
Overall, its not a deal breaker, since I mainly use xbmc, but having netflix would be a plus. Are all netflix apk's responding that way? On the cm11, I mean.

You can just go to the Play Store and install the "regular" Netflix app on CM11. Works like any tablet version would with a controller.

I've tried that and it seems to retain the full screen setting, which is the problem in question. Even after uninstalling it & reinstalling it, from the play store.
Plus, how do you sync an ouya controller to cm11? That's not that important since I've been using the k400, but to play gta it would be nice to know.
Thanks dude
If you've flashed the zip with all the button layouts, pairing the controller is as simple accessing the Input and Controllers menu, and holding down the U on the Ouya controller until it enters pairing mode. I know I'm missing a step in the menu, but its there, you'll see it. Promise

I've turned it off and back on again, rebooted my phone, uninstalled all updates and everything else I could think of but it's only showing up for Clash of Clans. I tried installing from AOL but that didn't work either.
Anyone have any suggestions for me? And while I'm here, is there anyway to batch load games into Game Launcher? I turned it off and back on to see if it would fix Game Tools and it only loads Clash of Clans. Something about that game registers the tools but not the others. All downloaded through the Play Store and Amazon Underground.
Fixed it on my own but probably the long way. I guess when I deactivated Game Launcher before it removed some sort of profiling and the games didn't register as qualifying for using the tool anymore. When I uninstalled the games and reinstalled them fresh they reappeared in Game Launcher and had the Game Tools working again.

Scratch that, it's back now. Some games are still working but others do not. This time I haven't changed anything after I got it working the last time. Clash of Clans works all the time but Marvel Future Fight, Clash Royale and others are loading without it.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Talking to myself again here just in case someone comes along with anything. I've restarted the phone and Marvel Future Fight loaded Game Tools fine, but when I tried Clash Royale it didn't have it. So I closed all apps and opened MFF again but now it's not there. If anyone has any idea what is going on I'd like to figure it out but for now I'm just going to turn it off since it's so inconsistent in appearance.
And then I reply to myself again. Settings > Applications > App > Storage > Clear Cache. Do that to every app it doesn't show up on and voila, it reappears.
