I'm using my wired xbox 360 controller to play games on my FTV and it works OK but there is no deadzone so controls are really touchy and in games like GTA my dude walks on his own without me touching the pad. It makes aiming nearly impossible and driving a pain in the rear. Anyone know how to set deadzone to stop all that?
I'm not rooted, I'm on latest firmware.
Thanks folk

Hey guys,
I'm searching for a bluetooth or wireless gamepad for my future nexus.
Do you have any ideeas? I was almost into buying Wii Wireless Retro Controller but I can't find it anywhere so I'm looking for something else. Ohhh, this was my first option because is so COOL!
Another option could be Phonejoy's Gamepad, wich is OUT OF STOCK too. I could go for a PS3 SIXAXIS Gamepad, but I dont know if I can use it for other games like Shadowgun, Backstab, Dungeon Defenders (mostly RPG and FPS), not only with PSX Emulator.
Anyone who used a PS3 controller played games like the one above with it?
Thanks!
Just a word of warning you need to make sure your device is compatible. Even if it is, it might work with some app and not another.
There are some bluetooth controller to consider though like: Zeemote, MSI Gamepad, Wii controller (which seems to be the safe bet.)
Sometime you need to run a background 'keyboard' app to make some of these controller work, such as Bluez IME.
I have the iControlPad, but it only work with apps that support keyboard input, through the use of Bluez IME. The most fullproof way for me is still wired controller.
I'm dealing with the issue right now.
I use sixaxis for my PS3 controller but it seems there is lack of supported games.
I think trying FPse for it.
I've also Logitech gamepad (F710) and like you I'd love to see supported games beside FPse.

Give me a few days and this should become a reality with the Sixaxis controller
Honeycomb and ICS have native support for gamepads so they should work throughout the OS and games.
I have a PS3 controller on my Transformer and I also have the Wii Retro controller. The Retro controller sucks horribly compared to the PS3 controller. Plus they all connect via Bluetooth so any controller will act the same unless it comes with a specific binding app.
I don't have a Nexus but I think the PS3 controller is the way to go. I picked up a new white one at Gamestop for $29.
Datel makes the Retro wireless controller.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
I've done it.
Sixaxis with PS3 controller plus MHL to see it on my LCD TV.
Works great! But only in emulators like FPse (the emulator I've test).
I'll wait to the OTG cable and see if I can play with the gamepad on any game (which is not related to FPse).
do i need ROOT for all of this that you guys are talking about? i want to use the original ps3 controller to play games in my galaxy nexus but i totally don't want to root, please help, i don't care if i have to use cable or Bluetooth.
Not sure if this would work on phones, http://steelseries.com/us/products/other/steelseries-ion-wireless-controller
it does mentions tablets. it's coming soon.
Is there any way to use the 360 controller to play games on N64OID? (That's a nintendo 64 emulator) Emulator works great but playing with touchscreen controlls is a pain. I remember I read somewhere that the controller needs to be connected directly to the phone with that MHl adapter I think it's called, which I have. So I'm wondering what steps or apps or whatever are needed to set it up and all that? I am rooted and all that good stuff. Make my dreams come true please and let me play Smash Bros comfortably on my phone Thanks in advance!!
Just wanted to get some knowledge of what works with a pad on the S3.
I'm using a £3.00p pad from Amazon, the mock ps3 one, which works suprisingly well, it's wired. No need for any extra apps to work, works in menu's too, no need for root access either, just plug and play over USB OTG.
Just noticed that the price has doubled to £6.95p

Hi!
Add Virtual Tennis Challenge. It works very well with a wired PS3 Sixaxis Controller.
Regards, folgui.
Max Payne, CS portable , PS3 Bluetooth.
max payne, nova3, dead trigger, battlefield bad compagny 2, NeoDroid .
I know that a lot of games can be played using the six axis app, but they aren't natively supported.
Do you know of any that are? Besides whats been already linked to?
Many thanks.
Oh thread got moved, i'd have thought that this be a general thing?
Can someone list multiplayer games that work with the Amazon controllers and emulators that can be mapped correctly? Im trying to get something the wife and I can play at night and Im struggling with controller mapping, etc.
Thanks

Multiplayer games depend on what you like. My son & I are enjoying Bombsquad and justo got Sev Zero. For having friends over the You Don't Know Jack Party & Fibbage is alot of fun and Asphalt 8 is pretty good.
So far, I have MAME4droid (0.139u1) working OK on some roms but better yet I have Nostalgia.NES working pretty damn good. Was able to map the keys on my NYKO PlayPad Pro and I'm happy with it.
Still have plans to try a few more emulators, but am happy with playing SMB & Galaga on Nostalgia.NES

Does Nostalgia support two controllers on AFTV? That'd be sweet to be SMB with a friend.

I havent had any luck getting Nostalgia NES to map. Even trying to use a mouse and keyboard to move to the button Im trying to map, I cant get it to map nor can I get any games to launch. Maybe it doesnt like the Amazon controllers.
snes9xex works great and buttons map well.
epsxe works great too, buttons map well, I've been playing two player ps1 games on it using a ps4 controller and the firetv controller.
Im losing my mind trying to map these controllers to work with emulators. Can someone explain to me like Im 3 how to map these damn Fire controllers and get the sticks, etc to work? My latest attempt was ePSXe. I can get the buttons and the analog pad to work but I cant get the sticks to work. Ive yet to get any emulator to the point I can actually play it and Ive messed with pretty much every one out there... Id be deeply grateful if someone could give me mapping for ePSXe, Nostalgia NES and Snes9xex.
Im seriously regretting not buying a controller that actually has profiles in these things. Im about to throw a controller through the TV.

on epsxe I've got my left stick X analog mapped to Axis X, left stick Y is mapped to Axis Y, right stick X is mapped to Axis RX, and right stick Y is mapped to Axis RY. L2 trigger is Axis_brake and R2 is Axis_gas. go to 'preferences', then 'player 1 input preferences', then 'map axis'.
PPSSPP works fantastically. I spent the entire day yesterday playing Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep on it. Plus you can upscale the graphics so it looks even better than the ps3 version.

Just bought a ouya controller ($17.99) at bestbuy online. I like old emulator games and sports games, but up until now haven't done much gaming on fire tv. I noticed NHL2k15
Has anyone tried this on fire tv? Also if there are any other games like NBA2k14 or 15 let me know if they work well on aftv. What I mean is are they made for touch screen devices? If so is there a way to make them playable with the controller. I have NBA 2k14 but as far as I can tell it's a touch screen version that works fine on my son's tablet but I can't find a way to change the settings to work with the ouya or any other gamepad.
Really it's an open question and any info is good and appreciated. Thanks.

The only way around this I can think of is if you had root on your AFTV. You could try using an application called tincore keymapper which would enable you to map physical buttons as touchscreen gestures. Also, there are some good sports games available to play via emulators. Try using a Playstation emulator such as Espxe or FPSE. Theres lots of sports games for that.
