I got myself a Merry Christmas to me present: a 2nd gen Nexus 7, wi-fi only, with 32GB RAM.
Works great, I've been playing with it a lot.
And more recently, I just got a keyboard & case for it, a MiniSuit keyboard and case. The Bluetooth keyboard that came with this seems to be working fine - it charged up, paired up, works in all my apps...
...except Mame4Droid 0.139u1.
When I try to map game buttons, and the coin & start buttons to keys on this keyboard, things don't work. I can't get the coin or start buttons to respond at all when I map them to keyboard keys.
MAME seems to think my keyboard is actually a game controller, and expects it to have Select and Start buttons.
Are there any tricks to getting MAME to play well with a basic Bluetooth keyboard?

Hi all,
i really need help. I sadly found out that i can only press one button simultaneously on my i780. If i press a second button at the same time everything stops and no keyboard signal is sent, till i release one button.
Most games are unplayable (Running , like Mario ->+B isn't possible). Or if you type your SMS too fast it recognizes "nothing pressed" wrongly.
I just can't believe how that can happen. In other words im just shocked...
I hope that there is a solution out there... I would appreciate any help so much!!!
got the same problem here
hey, i have i780 too, and i got the same annoying problem when i emulate any game on morphgear where i have to press more than 2 key presses simultaneously, or any other non emulator games that require 2 key presses.
Was actually going to buy the BGP100 bluetooth gamepad to solve the problem, but am going to wait a bit, to check if the gamepad wont have the same problems as the keyboard, cause that would be totally waste.

don't buy it i have that and it sucks, not sure what phone you have but i have the htc x7500 and what i did was use the 4in1 cable and hooked up a usb gamepad and it works great. i play nes and snes games and it works like a charm. but if you really want it i will sell you mine for $15 it still works just not with morphgear.

hey, tnx for the tip, because i was actually going to buy it to play games on morphgear, so i guess the bgp100 is out of the question.
btw. i got a Samsun i780, do u know a way to connect a usb gamepad with a samsung phone, it dosnt have miniUSB input.
Hi Everyone, just unboxed my SGS2 and also a new Microsoft 6000 series bluetooth keyboard, and i have managed to pair them successfuly.
I have not been able to use it a lot yet, but the pairing is functional, the arrow keys move the focus of the cursor, typing is fluid in Office app as well as sms (Except it seems to capitalize randomly) Backspace seems to work slow, but like i said i have not tested fully yet! the function keys also seem to respond and perform functions like Lock screen and others. The volume up down keys on the keyboard work just fine while playing music videos.
More Testing needed but i just thought i would share the good news
The device paired almost instantly as an HID device.
The phone is running on stock Samsung Rom Android version 2.3.3
Picture will be nice

Hi,
I was looking for a good Bluetooth keyboard to play with the Note in my bed, specially to play NES/SNES/N64/etc. games. And I wasn't decided to buy the Rii mini keyboard (it's so tiny to play with). So I decided to look for a NORMAL bluetooth keyboard. I thought about the Luxepad 9000, but I saw the Bluetooth keyboard of the Sony Tablet P/S in a Sony store. I tested it, and it worked! Here in the country I live the keyboard was $76, but I love it. It's easy to type, and it feels good. I can map all the keys of the keyboards with all the emulators. The only keys that don't work are the Android function keys, that are designed for Honeycomb (Home, doesn't works, Back, the only key that works, Recent apps, doesn't works, Menu, acts like I was pressing Search, Search, yes this works!). But I can replace Home pressing Function+left d pad key, and then I have Voice Action and Recent Apps (long-pressing). I can use the Power button too (Function+right d pad key), so I can turn off the phone and lock it, but I can't UNLOCK it.
And It's useful, because it works in all things that has Bluetooth! (except my Palm). It works in Windows, in my iPod (so Windows, Android and iOS). I recommend it: it's a useful thing for the house

Good stuff. I bought the cheap eKit bluetooth keyboard to use with my Vega tablet (see http://www.amazon.co.uk/eKit-Universal-Bluetooth-QWERTY-Keyboard/dp/B0047ZGNH8) and it actually works really well with the G-note too

Hi, I've got a V500 which I installed infecteds cm11 build, I've since bought an OTG cable and tried to plug in my 360 controller, but I'm having some issues, I downloaded a gamepad testing app and it seems like the button presses are registering, but it's not registering the releases. Is anyone else having this issue or could it just be my cable/controller/tablet?
I just tried with a brand new wireless 360 controller with the adapter and with that controller only the right bumper sticks. This seems like a really strange issue. Is there anyway I can find out what's causing it?
Hi chris
Nice to see I'm not alone with this issue as well.
As far as I've tested, whenever we press the A,B,X,Y,R1,L1 buttons they don't register the releases.
I've tried many different things, such as changing the keyboard layout for the controllers, and even making my own. Not successful though.
Well, I've managed to "bypass" this problem by configuring the gamepad keys on the games (the ones that we can configure, of course) to don't use these buttons I listed.
I changed the A,B,X,Y to the right analog stick, and the R1,L1 buttons to the R2,L2 Triggers (which are analogic).
Then the controller may work flawlessly.
Nice to know I'm not the only one to experience this issue. Weirdly I can use my 360 controller to navigate around the android interface, but struggle to get it to do anything when it comes to using it in game.
has anyone managed to get this to work?
I've tried the same cable with the same pad on my nexus 5 and it works perfectly, so there is something wrong with the USB driver.
All I want to do is play ps1 games on my tablet.
I've just got a Fire Box & a new 360 Xbox controller wireless with microsoft's official dongle (official microsoft NOT generic)
Could someone walk me through what you pressed & for how long to pair it?
The Fire TV Box doesn't see it when I try to pair it (just continually searches). But it does recognise it partially for navigating menus. It recognises inputs from the left joystick & d pad only, & the A & B button. The right joystick is dead.
Looks like it's working as intended for you:
Left stick + D-Pad is for scrolling
A = OK
B = Back
XBox Button = Home
Start = Menu
Right stick has not functionality in the menus.
If that's working you don't have to pair it anywhere.
You can use it to navigate. Using it in any Emulator or Game App should also work Out-Of-The-Box now. Just use the controller button assignment in those apps.
I have a generic receiver but when that's already working fine it should be ok with the original.
Oh btw: The controller keeps blinking for me but it still works. Even for 2 controllers on the one receiver.

Oh thanks for that I feel really dumb now. I only ever gamed on my PC with a keyboard & mouse last time I used a controller was when I was a kid.
What do you do when you run out of buttons & triggers for a game? I'm playing Dead Trigger 2 & I don't have enough buttons & it makes you program them in yourself. There is no default.
I don't even know which buttons/triggers etc I should program in for what function. I know it would vary by person & game but I imagine there is probably a basic commonality to the way people decide which buttons to use for what.
Yeah the blinking is annoying but everyone gets that apparently.
