how to connect ps3 controller in z5 compact
I think they dropped support for DS3 in the new Xperias. I guess you can still try with an OTG cable
If you have a dualshock: In Settings > Device connection, scroll down to Game Controller and select Dualshock series.
If you have a sixaxis, you need Sixaxis controller from the playstore and the setup is trickier.
Note: Dualshock 3 might still require the sixaxis method. It seems to be mainly for Dualshock 4
Well that is really disappointing. I enjoyed using my ds3 on my z3c but now I can't find a way to use it on my phone that doesn't require rooting my new phone

Well they have to because if they keep doing this, people will keep using DS3 controllers. They have to sell DS4 controllers. You may know that everybody wants money,money and money... (so sad)

Sup guys? I was wondering if there are any Bluetooth gamepads out that work with the EVO? Any help would be appreciated
First of all, you won't be able to use a bluetooth gamepad on the stock HTC Sense ROM. The only way that I know of to get it working is to root and install Cyanogen Mod. Then install Wiimote Controller from the market (free) and you can use a Wii controller with bluetooth.
If you want more buttons/options, there's the Datel Retro Wireless controller (wiimote replacement) or the Nintendo Classic Controller Pro, which has to be tethered to a wiimote. Same goes for the Nyko Wing.

Which one?
You can get a wiimote anywhere. Ebay is always a good option.
The Datel controllers are harder to come by, you'll have to Google it.

Oh sorry I read that too fast. I thought it was more complicated - thought you needed hardware in addition to the wiimote.
Are there any controllers you can use that have more keys than a wiimote? (or is that Datel)
wiimote woudl be great for NES, but for SNES seems like it wouldn't work so well.
So there is no possible way to get a Bluetooth controller to work unless my phone is rooted? That really sucks. If anyone knows of a way to get a controller to work without root please let us know

Right. It's not an Android issue, it's an HTC issue. Some (all?) of their phones, including the Evo cannot work with a Bluetooth gamepad out of the box for some reason. Speculation was that they mucked with the Bluetooth stack in Sense but the latest reports say that's untrue, there's some other reason it's not working.
Regardless, you've gotta root if you want Bluetooth gaming on your Evo.
On the upside, rooting rocks for a lot of other reasons so don't be discouraged

Yeah, that's what I was saying about the Datel / Nyko Wing / Nintendo Classic Controllers.
The Classic Controller is identical, button-wise, to a SNES controller
The Classic Controller Pro is like a mix between a SNES and a Gamecube controller. It's the best for PSX games since it has 2 R/L buttons and joysticks.

Well you can get a Wiimote and a Classic Controller Pro for about $10 each on eBay, so it's not that bad.
Carrying 2 controllers does suck, yes. The Datel is the best option, if you can find it, but that's like $50+

Yes you can use a bluetooth gamepad with sense installed. I use the BGP-100 bluetooth gamepad with my stock EVO. However the wiimote will not work.

Though I always thought that controller looked sorta janky and wouldn't be the best to play on. What are your experiences?
What emu's have you tried it with? I play PSX on my Evo so the R+L buttons are important. Looks like that gamepad only has one each?

That's the Nyko Wing I was telling you about. It still needs a Wiimote - it's got a wireless transceiver that plugs into a Wiimote extension port (where you'd plug a nunchuck into). So it's technically wireless but you still need a Wiimote handy to use it.

The gamepad is more comfortable than it looks. But, there is a tiny bit of lag when pressing the button to when actually seeing an onscreen action. It works great with RPG's, but takes getting used to with faster paced games. I only played with the Gameboy Advance emulator so far.
I did buy the PSX emulator but havent had the time to play any PSX games on it yet. I also did a hard reset on my phone after installing FROYO so I have to reinstall the gamepad drivers. I'll have more time this weekend to play around with the gamepad, so I'll give you a better update. I'll also post some vids.

No dice. PS3 controllers don't work [yet, if ever]. The developer of the Wiimote Controller app recently got a PS3 controller to try to develop compatibility for it but the last I heard he said it was a completely different animal and would not be so easy to do. I wouldn't hold my breath.

Cool, thanks for the info. Sounds like I'd still probably rather stick with a Wiimote just for playability/flexibility. I like the compactness of yours though... and yours would be a great fit for FF7, etc with the PSX emu.

Yep. On the other hand the Wiimote is actually the best option for an original NES/Gameboy emu, if that's what you're after. Plus you can get a hacked original NES controller accessory for the Wiimote on eBay if you REALLY want the authentic retro thing
Personally I think the best options are:
NES / Gameboy: Wiimote only
SNES / Sega plus above: Wiimote + Classic Controller
PSX plus above: Wiimote + Classic Controller Pro
Or, if you can find it/are willing to splurge, the Datel Retro Wireless for everything.

Hi all,
I would like to get a gaming controller for my Note to play (mostly) emulators.
Has anyone tried the Wii remote + Classic Controller (real or fake) on the Note?
I'd like to buy them (around $20 for both) as they have enough buttons to play SNES games.
Also any other suggestions for BT controllers would be nice
It would probably work but I'd rather spend a few more dollars on something legit. I managed to score a ps3 controller for 33 the other day on amazon. I see the cheapest now is 44 but they seem to fluctuate daily so you just gotta keep your eyes open.
I was thinking of a PS3 controller too, but the cheapest I could find locally was €44. That's why I wondered if I could use a classic controller instead
You won't be able to us Wii controllers unless you're running MIUI or CM ROMs.
On stock ROMS without Root Phonejoy/iControlPad will work, with Root PS3 controllers will work also.

Why not? Can you elaborate?
Doesn't work with the Samsung stock BT stack, that's why those ROMs work - they use the stock Android BT stack.
Guess it'll be a Sixaxis then
Do the analog sticks work? Like using the right one for C buttons and the left one as analog stick in N64oid...

Hi there! I've been using an app from the market named: WiimoteController and it works amazing. You don't need root access, only bluetooth conection. I proved it with SNesoid and everything works fine. I used a Nintendo Original WiiMote with a Classic Control plugged, and I even be able to use them as a two separated controls.
I hope my recommendation is useful and tha my english writing isn't too bad.
See ya!

With all the awesome games available for this device, has anyone figured out how to get an operational gamepad setup with it?
Essentially, I don't even want bluetooth here - a USB mounted device would work just fine.
Here's a thread about this. Maybe it will help somehow. Tell me if u found any solution because i'm looking to buy a gamepad too. Just waiting for someone to get it right.

Nope, haven't changed it since 2005.
i have a wired xbox 360 controller that i use from things like COD on my PC.
Haven't tried it on my phone because im lacking a usb host cable thing.
mind you the first 2 COD games.
Also bought and just received the Phonejoy for Bluetooth play.
update just ordered a usb host cable to try the xbox should come in 3-5 days.
Im using a phonejoy and its awesome. Yea PS3 work, but on my SG S2, my rom didnt allow that so I had to buy a bluetooth controller. But now I still have it for my Nexus So I wont bother to change my PS3 controller IP everytime I want to play on my nexus and PS3.
is ROOT required?? i want to use a original ps3 controller to play games in my galaxy nexus but i totally don't want to root.
I'm in the market to purchase a bluetooth controller that will be compatible with the 7 and from my research these two controllers seem to be the most discussed options. I am rooted and do not plan on mounting it to the Nexus. While I am used to the design of an Xbox 360 controller and the Moga is most similar to that design, I have read that the build quality is not quite as good as the ps3 controller. Being rooted, I am aware that both controllers can play an equal amount of games. Or that's my understanding anyway. I owned a different Moga over a year ago and used it with my rooted Razr M and it worked with any game that supported a controller with the use of root and a separate app I downloaded from the Play Store. It looks as if the Moga costs a bit more than a PS3 controller. But it also looks like I'll have to spend a few bucks on an adapter cable to initially set up the PS3 controller. So I'm at a bit of a crossroads. I understand it's going to come down to personal taste, but I was wondering if there was anything I'm missing here that maybe some of you could enlighten me about with pros or cons.
As a side note, I am waiting to hear more reviews on the Amazon TV device, but am considering purchasing it if it seems worth the price. It's my understanding that it will or does support bluetooth controllers in addition to the official Amazon controller. Since this purchase may be a possibility, I'd also have the hope that I'd possibly be able to use the same game controller with the Amazon TV as I do with my Nexus. Any advice would be great appreciated.

Haven't tried on the N7, but SixAxis Controller worked on my HTC One.
You don't need a special OTG cable (though it def makes it easier to pair), just the USB charging cable for the PS3 controller. You download an app to run on your PC to find out the bluetooth address of your controller. Instructions Here

One thing to consider is I am pretty sure that the ps3 controller app requires root, where as the Moga does not. Just make sure to get the Pro or any of the power ones, the normal old school moga doesn't have enough buttons to work with everything. Also while gaming on the phone, the Moga has a built in GameClip so it holds your phone sort of like playing a Shield.

Yeah, the Moga Pro however does not need root like the original did. It has two separate modes with different drivers. One is their usual Moga driver you are used to and the other is a universal mode that just works.
PS3 all the way. Feels better and responds better. The separated D pad makes Retro gaming feel natural. It requires root but if you're a serious gamer you'll want root for other things like custom kernels and overclocks.
I use the PS3 on my Ouya too, which supports it out of the box. I use my Moga for travel but its just awkward.
PS3 feels like a solid gamepad where others feel like imitators.
which really controller do you recommand me ?
i looking now this http://buy.thegameklip.com/
and this http://www.mogaanywhere.com/controllers/moga-pro-controller/
i want 1 for easy use w/o root
One is jsut a holder that you need a PS3 controller to use, the other is the clip built into their controller. Depends if you want to buy a PS3 controller ot use or already have one.
As for if they need root, I don't know, but they are kind of two different products.
So if you want to play emulators than the second one isn't something for you. If you already have a Ps3 then the choice should be very clear.

xbox 360 controller is good I am using it too
These are cool I have never seen them before. I just plug my regular PS3 controller into it and set the phone up on a stand. It works with no extra programs which is awesome. Best is if you are rooted you can make the PS3 controller work with bluetooth and plug the S3 into a tv. Using a PS3 controller and seeing the image on the tv is pretty amazing and makes you feel like it's a real video game system.
i actually use the red samurai controller from gamestop...the great thing about it is that my laptop has bluetooth capability so i can use it on that as well...ive had it for about a year now and still runs like its brand new
I'd recommend the MOGA PRO series, really. It's quick and easy to set up & configure, and it supports most of the games.
The Galaxy SIII natively recognize PS3 controller via USB so it's still cool. Configuring bluetooth for the wireless one can be a pain, though (you'll need root access and a third party app)
As a side note, the MOGA CAN play emulators. The latest version of PSX emulators for Android already support this controller. As for the others (SNES, GBA, NDS etc) you can just manually map the buttons.
I'd recommend the Moga Pro too. Had it for quite some time and works like charm. Good to hold and play and nice battery backup.
I didn't know you could use a xbox controller. Looks like I will be trying mine.
