[Q] n64oid + ps3 controller

Hey guys ! I just wanted to know if anyone were able to use their wireless ps3 controller with this emulator ? Im able to use any others emulator such as the Snes perfectly ! But for some reasons on this particular emulator im stuck at the scanning for devices ! Anyone? :0

It seams like it might be the app called Bluez IME that might **** with my ps3 controller selection ...

There is Sixaxis https://market.android.com/details?...udios.sixaxiscontroller&feature=search_result
And their compatibility testing tool .. https://market.android.com/details?...xiscompatibilitychecker&feature=search_result

You're right. Bluez IME doesn't support PS3 controllers (they're working on it I hear) so what you will have to do is bind every button on the PS3 controller to a hardware key. This is going to be annoying, but you'll only have to do it one time.
Open up the Sixaxis App, then press the start button to open the bluetooth connection. Once the connection is listening, press the PS button on your controller. The app should tell you that there's one client connected. Press the menu button on the phone (far left, looks like a paper I guess) then go to preferences. Press the box that says bypass IME, then select input mappings. You can then select which controller you are mapping then for each button, assign it a letter on the key board (like left = a, right =b, etc). After you're done, open up n64oid, go to settings, then input settings. Press key mappings and press they key mappings button for the controller you want. Then just go through and bind all your keys like normal.

Tyvm thats exactly what I did, works like a charm ! playing mario kart 3 players battles on our 60" tv eheh portable consoles ftw !

How do you bind the keys like normal at the end. When I am in n64oid i click on key mapping and d-pad left it says press a key

You first map the keys to the controller, so it simulates keyboard input, then in n64noid when it asks you to press a key you hit the appropriate button on the controller ... (of course you have to have it paired and working at the time)

Ok in sixaxis app i mapped each button with letters a-z
And it said client one connected
So i went to n64oid and to settings and input settings and clicked left for example, so it said hit key, so i hit left dpad on ps3 controller and nothing, its like its not detecting me pressing the button on my ps3 controller, why is this?

You have to go to input settings, and change it to sixaxis controller instead of keyboard, under normal android settings ...

followed your directions still nothing :/
Once paired, unplug the USB cable and press the power button on the controller. If successful, the lights on the controller will stop blinking and a single light will remain on.
My controller pairs, i even downloaded the comaptibility checker and my controller and phone passed the test, but all the lights blink on my controller but when that is finished they all go off instead of one which is supposed to stay on.

Sixaxis and Connecting PS3 Controller
Hello there,
This is my first post ever. (fyi)
Any ways... You need to use the sixaxis pair tool on your PC to ultimately connect the controller to your phone.
The reason:
When a controller (PS3 Spec.) connects to a console, the console exchanges its (Bluetooth in this case) MAC address with the controller to create a solid connection between the host and the periphal device.
The solution:
Sixaxis pair tool will allow you to manually manipulate this MAC address reservation through use of a USB B cable, a PC using the software, and finally a PS3 controller...
Once the software is launched simply type the number from the bottom of the sixaxis application (Android) into the sixaxis pair tool (PC) and click update...
Finally:
Restart your sixaxis application (Android)
Once restarted, click the start button...
Wait until it says listening for controllers...
Turn on PS3 controller.
VOILA!
Hope this helps I had some problems getting it to work as well...

[Q] Wired USB Mouse / Cursor

Hi,
I tried plugging in a wired, USB mouse in the back of my Fire TV Box... I get nothing on screen. I tried a second mouse.. same result. Does the Fire Tv NOT support a mouse? I searched around online and found conflicting info. The only reason I wanted to use the mouse is to click the big "Start Test" button at the center of the screen in the Speedtest.net app I sideloaded... It can't be reached via the remote.
Thanks!

.
Well u can look for aft general tread download download an apk call wukong remote launch the app, it will search for aft in address that's what working for me

My firetv recognized my mouse with no special settings. I just plugged the mouse directly into the USB slot... same for a USB keyboard.
Mouse = old Gateway mouse
Keyboard = cheap Dynex

Did you happen to be on the default launcher when you tried? Since the last three updates the mouse cursor is invisible on the Fire TV launcher, when system menus are on the screen and inside some native Fire TV apps. I don't think the cursor being invisible effects everyone, cause only a few people said they experience the problem when I made a thread about it.It only happens if I use a USB or Bluetooth mouse, but if I use a remote mouse app like Wukong the cursor is visible on the whole system. Try opening an app that was not made for the Fire TV, like Kodi and see if it works, cause my cursor is visible inside all my apps, but if I go to the Fire Launcher it becomes invisible. Its kind of annoying not being able to see the cursor on Fire TV apps, but I have gotten used to it.
To be clear, the mouse still works its just invisible, so its kinda useless because you can't click on system menus, cause you cannot see where the cursor is. As soon as you open an app like Kodi the cursor will reappear.

Thnks everyone for the replies. I had USB debugging turned on in the developer options which knocked out my mouse. Everything is working now.

Fire tv controller button mapping?

I bought a bluetooth game controller in hopes of using with my Fire TV stick and am having a few issues. It pairs nicely with my stick but some of the buttons are off. Is there a way to map the buttons on the fire tv stick? If not are there any ideas on some hacks?

Any ideas on this?

Are you looking to manage/customize Kodi or the native FireTV interface. If it's native, you don't need too many buttons and I presume you have that working.
If it's Kodi, then you can use keyboard.xml to map whatever you want. Check:

Hope that helps.

I am having the same problem. I have an Ouya controller. All was working fine on OS3 but after updating to OS5 D-pad now acts as Home, burger etc., and so does L & R trigger buttons. This means they override any mapping within apps such as emulators and I can no longer use them
Is it possible to remap the buttons?

from my experience yes, you need root to add/remove/edit any kl files in that directory.

how do i remap amazon 4k remote centre button? as a select button for nvidia shield

anyone know the centre button for amazon remote does not work as a select option
so i cant use some apps i.e. spotify
this is the wifi remote, which is bit temperamental to be honest
anyone know how to adjust the keymapping of buttons
thanks

I tried to remap the forward and backwards buttons from the fire tv remote as long press volume buttons.
They worked with xposed and xposed additions but after that the shield controller didn't work on games, just the directional and android buttons worked.
It was such a bummer because xposed additions could be a nice tool to get more functionality out of remotes but there seems to be some bugs.

same prob here, fire tv 2 remote, ok button dont work in some apps.
like amazon video.
is there any solution for that.
cheers Martin

Is there anything new on this?

I downloaded an app called Button Mapper that allows you to remap basically every button on your remote or controller.
Sadly though, while it actually lets you remap the 'select' button on the Fire TV remote, it does not have an option to remap it to 'Enter'. You can change it to other actions like home, back, volume up/down, mute, play/pause, next, previous, power dialog, turn screen off, etc.
I don't know why 'Select' or 'Enter' isn't an option though. Such a shame. I thought for sure this was going to be the solution to this issue.
I was able to remap the FF and RW buttons though. I don't use those buttons really, so I remapped them to control the system volume UP and DOWN. Works great for that at least

Not tried it with the FTV remote but has worked a treat for all my other remotes i have used.
Side load this Multilanguage Keymap Redefiner https://play.google.com/store/apps/...eyboard.multilanguagekeymapredefiner&hl=en_GB

This should be fixed I think in the Oreo update. The remotes should now correctly send the DPAD_CENTER command when pressing select on the remote. I know it was fixed with the Alexa Voice Remote (Fire TV 2nd gen i think?).
Voice button is still crap as it rarely works properly (activates the assistant but doesn't record voice) .

Wrong buttons for paired game controllers on Fire TV Cube 2nd gen

Hi,
I just got a Fire TV Cube 2nd generation and I was trying to pair it with a game controller to use Steam Link, Shadow and Geforce Now. I've been able to pair both a Xbox One and a PS4 controllers via bluetooth but both end up having the same problem; the home button doesn't work as expected and the start button doesn't work at all.
With the Xbox One controller the home button takes you back to the Fire TV launcher while the start button doesn't do anything. The select button seem to do what the home button should do as by pressing it the Steam overlay pops up but it takes it quite many seconds to realise I have pressed it.
So apparently Amazon has dropped support for game controllers, even theirs, but I don't get how the option is still available, controllers can be paired but then there is no way to configure them to fix these issues.
Does anyone know if there is any way to fix this problem?
Thanks.
