[edit]this should probably be moved to general
This has probably been said in other forums, but I found this xbox 360 controller receiver through watching a youtube video
(between https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrTmsZIb0a8 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWCpVIsYgeU)

Just hook it up to the Shields usb, click the button on the receiver and the controller to sync, and just like that you can have 4 other controllers for multiplayer games.
I haven't yet figured out how to get the xbox 360 controllers LED to stop flashing
I used to use one of those with my laptop to play emulators. The controllers never do stop flashing. They are working correctly, but they just flash the whole time. Always did. However unless you are super OCD it's probably not a big problem.

Did you have any problem using Xbox controller and Shield controller at same time (co-op gaming)?
NSTV can´t recognize Xbox controller as a second gamepad, so in games with co-op I can't use them both...

Nop. Contacted Nvidia, but they say that don't support other controllers....
My only solution is: restart NSTV with only the Xbox controllers connected when I want to use multiple controllers. Otherwise restart NSTV with the Xbox controllers disconnected.

OK, so co-op is possible but only with multiple controllers from one brand, so either the xbox ones or the ones from the shield, but it's not possible to play co-op with one shield and one xbox controller. Did i understand that Right?

Yes. That only happens with wired controllers.
If you use a bluetooth controller it works fine with NSTV controller (only tested with a Xiaomi gamepad). The only problem is key mapping... I can´t use L and R buttons.
there are some games, that don't recognize other controllers than nvidia, but not many.

I tried restarting the xbox,I enabled multi controller and tried everything.. How did you get it to work? I am on the lollipop rom. Help really appreciated

If you don't mind a bit of extra work, and your Shield is rooted, you can buy a non-Microsoft adapter for a quarter of the price. You need to make a few changes to the /system/usr/keylayout/ folder, but it takes no more than 5 minutes. I paid just £4.75 for my adapter off eBay with free delivery.

what is the change i need to make?
can you share the file so i can copy it to my NSTV

Will this change change fix the dpad not working, with cheap adapter? I'm currently building a arcade stick using a wireless controller board and the lack of a dead is giving me headaches.
Hi all,
Did anyone got this working? I have a xbox360 wireless controller and an Nvidia Shield remote controller but am not able to play Mortal Kombat with both controllers simultaneously... ?
I actually played Rocket League with the Nvidia Controller and 3 wireless xbox controller. It worked after I started the game with the Nvidia controller and then connected the wireless receiver for the xbox controller. I was so happy that it worked!
But then I realized that all my other games - which have co-op gaming - do not support this! But rocket league proves that it is technically possible...
Did anyone got this thing to work for other co-op games?
This thread has put my mind at ease a bit. I connected one 360 pad with the wireless dongle and was really annoyed that it was also Player 1 like the Shield Pad. The flashing light was also odd. I have some more 360 pads though so will try for 4 player this evening
It's so stupid: we can play Bombsquad with one SATV controller and one Xbox360 with Microsoft adapter, but it doesn't work on Trine 2.
Is it possible to connect 2 xbox360 wireless usb adapter to my Shield-TV? I wanna use 8 xbox360 wireless controller.

Tried to connect Xbox 1 controller to my SHield (2017), but unfortunately no dice.
I want to use more than one Gamepad at the Nvidia Shield (2017).
I can stream games from my desktop-PC via GameStream in GeForce Experience to the NV-Shield. This works fine, but not for Multiplayer games like Duckgame for example.
I tested connecting 2 XBOX360 Cable –Gamepads: They both work, but they both control player one.
I tested 2 XBOX360 Wireless Controller with the Microsoft dongle: Both gamepads work but they all control player one.
I tested XBOX One Wireless Controller with the big Dongle: The controllers doesn't work at all.
I tested XBOX One Wireless Controller (Bluetooth): Controller works but only controls player one.
I tested all combinations from the different controller including the Nvidia controller, but all controllers only control player one.

You should check out: https://www.virtualhere.com/
This guy is made a damn great software, supported all known OS's!
Sideload the app onto your shield and the software to the pc. Then you can use your XBOX-360 wireless adapter on your pc. All should work.
You can use share 1 usb device in free-client mode.

I've been reading that the new Transformer Prime supports Xbox controllers. I'm rooted with Overcome 2.something and want to know if I have this ability already. I also read that people have been using a USB dongle that Microsoft sells but I'd like something that is already built in to work. I also have a PS3 controller if that'll work, although I prefer the Xbox controller.
HDMI out and an Xbox controller = big screen NES!!!
since the xbox wireless controller uses a custom wireless protocoll, you can't use it without the dongle. You can use a wired xbox controller though.
I also prefer the xbox controller, but the PS3 controller is better suited for this. Since the PS3 controller uses bluetooth, you can buy a app on the market called "Sixaxis Controller", which allows you to use a PS3 controller over bluetooth with the tab. It's really awesome
EDIT: I also fine the PS3 controller better suited for emulation, because the dpad is in a better position for this.
is there anyway to do this without root? i read somewhere in 3.2 reenabled controller support for 10.1 i have a stock tablet and don't want to root unless i really really need to.
So, just to check, will the Xbox wireless receiver USB dongle work with the tab?

Wondering the same thing. I tried to connect the dongle to my Tab but my controller wouldn't connect to it (just flashed the green light, searching but no connection it seemed).
Is there a way to make the Xbox360 controller work if you connect the dongle to the Tab (or without it for all I care, just want it to work )
I just bought the 30 pin to USB and so far haven't been able to get a wired 360 controller to work but I am running stock so that might be the problem... If I were to root and get like 3.2 or something would this work?

I just did this, although I haven't tried it yet. Not sure what they show up as when connected though? Going to test it right now
Edit: Blah, the only wired 360 controller I have is a third party one, it showed up but I'm not sure how to use it. I tried the "USB/BT joystick center" app and it wanted me to make a driver by selecting bits of input data directly .
Re: Big NES if XBOX controller works.
Pick up a WII controller - cheaper and closer to the old school NES experience )
Has anyone bought this:
http://www.onlive.com/controller
I want to know if this works in emulators and such, and not just OnLive.
I've tried a PS3 controller connected via sixaxis, and it doesnt work in Onlive. I might consider this if it worked in onlive and emulators.
I'm not certain about the OnLive controller, but in the faq at OnLives site there is this...
---------------------
Can I use a controller with the OnLive Game Service?
Yes. The controllers currently supported are:
•OnLive Wireless Controller (OnLive Game System only)
•Microsoft® Xbox 360® Controller for Windows
•Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows (requires the Microsoft Wireless Gaming Receiver)
•Logitech® ChillStream™
•Logitech® F510
•Saitek® P3200 Rumble Pad
•Mad Catz® GamePad
----------------------
Not sure because I've not tried. But I would guess that one or more of those will do what you are asking.
That said I would like to know the answer to your question as well. Looks like a great controller.
I do have this controller, but I do not have any hd dock or lapdock to test it out for you
He wants to know if OnLive's Universal Controller will work with any of the emulators on his phone, such as SNESoid, NESoid, MAMEoid, and so forth. Sixaxias Controller is an app that lets you connect and use a PS3 controller on your Android device.
I had the same issues with Sixaxis Controller and Wiimote Controller with OnLive. I think this is because both of those are mapping functions to some kind of keyboard function, whereas OnLive's app does not any any keyboard function build into it to use native keyboard. I was able to do limited stuff such as play the "getting started" video because one of the buttons acted like the "s" button on a keyboard.
I have preorder the controller, but I order after they changed the estimated shipping date to the 20th. I don't know if any controllers have been shipped yet. I have heard of some people being able to connect a Xbox 360 controller to their phone with USB adapter for the wireless dongle; so in theory, you may be able to use it with the phone.
Bump, looking for the same thing, anyone tested the controller with GTA3/emulators/etc? Does Bluez IME work?
There's a thread in the Flyer/View forum where a member states that it does work with emulators. I believe that HC 3.2+ is required for tablets and ICS for phones in order for it to work, though.
I have two Amazon Fire TV's both rooted with the latest custom roms, Kodi 14.0a3 and several of the emulators side-loaded including RetroArch, along with a 32gb flash drive in a USB hub, along with a usb dongle for the wireless keyboard. I cannot get any of the emulators to work with multiplayer gaming. I have the following controllers:
RedScorpion Bluetooth Controller
Ouya Controller
Vizio Co-Star Controller
several generic USB controllers (PS3 style and XBOX)
Can someone tell me what the best controllers would be? I cannot figure out what controllers or settings I need to configure to allow any of these games to play multiplayer. I have a big family gathering coming up and would love to get the games to work.
I'm really frustrated and would love any and all advice at this point. I've read some people had success with a PS3 controller, others with PS4 controllers (albeit with Bluetooth issues) running Sixaxis, but I've also heard some say that the Xbox360 Controller works wirelessly, and others say it has to be wired.
If you've gotten this to work, please share your setup so I can copy it.
Thanks in advance,
Jesse
So, I seem to be the only one not able to get a 360 controller to work with my factory Fire TV. I've tried the MS wireless dongle and wireless controller and a MS wired controller. Neither respond at all. What am I missing here?

I've tried a wired 360 controller on mine and it works fine (at least when running a fire tv native game).
Does the wired controller work on a PC? What firmware version are you using?

after buying the microsoft wireless controller you must download and run pc software to a pc to sync the 360 remote to the dongle. once it is synced and working on the pc you can unplug the dongle and plug it into the firetv usb port. as a note, when conected to fire tv the 4 led's on the controler flash in a circle as if not connected but it actually works.
Yep. I've tried syncing it first on my pc. Both the wired and wireless work on my pc....but not the fire tv

Does a USB keyboard work on the Fire TV (just to make sure it's not the usb port)? Have you tried rebooting the Fire TV?
I assume it works, I dont have a free keyboard lying around. When I plug the wireless dongle in the light lights up and when I plug the wired controller in it lights up for a second, then the light goes out..and will not come back on.
I ordered one of the cheap 8 buck wireless dongles for the 360 controller. It quickly detected the my controller on my pc and paired up. I moved everything over to the fire tv.. Does anyone else find that the controller is very hit or miss on games? I have 3 games that say they will work with either the fire remote or a gamepad.. Crossy road, Unpossible, and Robotu. Robatu is the only one that actually works once in the game.. When out of games, the xbox controller does fine navigating evertying within the main Amazon interface. Anyone else?
Bumping.. can anyone with an xbox controller confirm / tell me if mine's just not working right- or is it also hit and miss for you on games that support the game controller?

The 360 controller is incompatible with KOTOR. It seems to work at first, but the d-pad is non functional which eventually breaks the game. At least you can sort of play it, though; I've had other games be completely unplayable due to the main menu not responding to the 360 controller's input.
Bottom line: The 360 controller is NOT fully compatible with the Fire TV. Amazon claims that it works (and it sort of does) but it's mostly just another example of the half-assed state of the Fire TV OS and software.
