Wireless Controller for Android + 4GB Card with Games

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...99&ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:US:1123#ht_4788wt_802
So I ordered one of these last week when I got fed up with being unable to find a datel retro for sale anywhere. The item looks decent quality but the information is less than clear but for $20 i figured it was worth a shot.
Has anyone had any experience using this item?
Also has anyone found any other good substitute for the datel other than the phonejoy or MSI BGP100?

I haven't used the item you ordered but I suggest using a PS3 controller and getting Sixaxis control from the market.

I thought that only the PS3 wired controllers work. I'm looking for a wireless solution. Last I had checked the PS3 wireless bluetooth controllers are not supported for android.
PS after looking that sixaxis program up i looks like that may do the trick for me. I'll have to go pick up a PS3 controller I suppose.

[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.

I had the original one for the Note where it friction fit into the game controller clip. Worked ok but I never really found any games that I liked that worked with the controller. I did play a few nintendo emulations that worked out ok. I do like the idea of having a case that attaches to the clip, I figured the felt from the friction fit would eventually come unglued and then you would be scratching the metal border of the note.
The cable included in then $19.95 kit is a mini usb (controller side) and a regular USB end, they include an OTG cable for plugging into the phone. At least that is what mine came with. So if you have a mini USB and OTG cable already, skip the wired kit. My kit did not come with instructions and I found the site's instructions confusing but there are several YouTube videos that describe how to use the Sixaxis app.

I got the original for my note too. I never really play any android games, but I loved playing the classic PC game Doom with it plus the emulators too were enough to make it worth it in my opinion.

Great investment!

Can anyone please suggest a phone case for Note n7000 for Universal Gameklip ?
I just ordered the Universal Gameklip from Ebay India, which do not include case.

[Q] Gyro, Accelerometer, Sixaxis and a Dualshock controller

Hello all,
Question for the masses:
We're an events agency and we're looking at putting together a few Dualshock controllers with Nexus 7's for an event coming up.
What we'd like to do is have a bike that people can 'ride' which has a gyro connectly to a Nexus 7 that would power the app.
The question we have is, say we strap a PS3 Controller to a bike after syncing it via Sixaxis, is there any way to get the internal Gyro on the dualshock controller to work?
I've paired it with my N7 and tryed it with a few racing games, and GTA to no avail.
If anyone knows how to get the Gyro/Accelerometer working over bluetooth via Sixaxis or any other means so that this'll function that'd be helpful!

wow, im curious with this...
Sounds too complicating...
if i get what you want,
you want the nexus 7's gyro to control the controller?
or the Controller's gyro to control the nexus 7?

I think it's rather hard to fulfill this with the nexus 7, and I wouldn't know why you'd choose the N7 for this as;
1. The N7 is unable to connect to another monitor
2. Pairing with a PS3 controller is rather hard, as you see it doesn't work with the sixaxis controller app for the gyro.
However, if you intend to use the N7 screen as well, strap it to the steering wheel? You can just use the internal gyro as the tablet itself goes along with the bike. There are plenty of calibration apps so you can adjust the angle of detection to the bike.
However, if you are not using the N7 screen, you would be able to go fancypancy and make true android-bikes by getting a ****load of cheap chinatablets. Usually you can take them apart very easely, and rework the electronic parts in the bike itself. Place the gyro directly under the saddle and if you buy one with an HDMI out, you will have no problems in hooking it up to an external screen. Plenty are available on sites like aliexpress.com for maybe $35/tablet. Together with the cheapest monitors (Belinea monitors are used a lot in a lot of small businesses and shops. They cost about $20-30 a piece). This option would reduce your cost to $65 per system instead of $250 per N7. It would also involve a lot more work unfortunately.

[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.
