Hello, just wondering if someone can point me in the right direction.
I recently got an Xperia Play R800i and have used the PSXperia exploit to load the built in PSX emulator with some ISOs. However, the option on the phone under 'Controller Settings' for 'Analog Mode' is greyed out and I haven't been able to get them to work at all, so games like 'Ape Escape' are unplayable. I've looked on this site and elsewhere but haven't been able to find any way of testing if this is a hardware issue with the touchpad or something with the software. Have tried using another emulator ePSXe with support for the Xperia Play touchpads but nothing either. Phone is running stock SE firmware 2.3.4, build 4.0.2.A.0.62.
Any advice or pointers in the right direction would be appreciated

Well the only PsX emulator I have tried is FPse and I can confirm touchpads work flawlessly. You could try to use an app named “GameKeyboard” to test the touchpads. Also you could install any Xperia Play-optimized game to test touchpads, for example Dead Space.

So I downloaded GameKeyboard to test the touchpads - every other gamepad button works apart from the touchpads so it appears to be a hardware issue for sure

Hi, what options should I be using in this app to activate the touchpads? I'm using the stock SE 2.3.4 ROM so is this needed? Also, can this app potentially damage the phone in any way??

If you are gonna use psxperia when you build the apk you have to enable touchpads by ticking a box. Then you can go into the emulator and select the control scheme that utilizes them

I ticked the box to enable touchpads/analog when I was building the APKs with PSXperia. I've since tried testing the touchpads with another app I found on here + I tried using the touchpad test in the service menu of the phone but not working.
I'm going to try flash the stock ROM to 100% rule out that it is not a software issue - if the touchpads still don't work then I'm going to try replace the gamepad itself which will hopefully fix the issue!
Issue fixed
So I ended up ordering a replacement touchpad and housing as seemed to be a hardware issue - and sure enough when I took the phone apart, the flex connecting the touchpads to the motherboard was broken in half!!! now i have replaced the touchpads and reassembled the phone everything is working perfectly. Thanks everyone for your tips!

yea hopefullly somebody can tell us how to do that. i gave up on trying to configure the touch pad and went straight to FPSE which already configured :silly:
Go to ControllerX => Set "Pad Type PSX" to DualShock => Go to controllerX again => Controller X Map axis => Make sure that gamepad ID is xperiaplay => Analog Range - Circle => Left stick X - AXIS_X, Y - AXIS_Y; Right stick X - AXIS_RX, Y - AXIS_RY.
Done. Game must support DualAnalog/Shock controller.
Theoretically must work(i havent games, that support DShock).
Yeah well now Epsxe Does not recognize any button inputs. I give up.
But dude, seriously thanks for your reply
FPSE is a goot option if you need the touchpad fully working.
EpsxeE is good but didnt find a way to make the touchpad work, so sad n64oid dont support touchpad

Epsxe has touchpad support. You have to enable it yourself. Touchpad support is better on epsxe than fpse.

on GB.
In my opinion Fpse offer the best touchpad support and Epsxe its more fluid. I dont like how they implemented the touchpad in epsxe...epsxe sometimes it lose the button and doesnt press like it should (example on crash bandicoot and mosts of games i found it hard to play with analog when character use to walk instead of running)
I know it gets annoying to keep covering games but psx (the ps1 emulator built into the play seems to give me best response with touchpads as well as smooth gameplay. I don't really play ps1 games very much though so those who play them a lot might prefer the emulators

Hello everybody! In my first thread I already would like to ask if anyone have experienced similar things on Xperia Play. I have SonyCM 10 Final installed, as well as LuPuS_zeus_jBv13-full and after that I found out that some games that should work properly with my touchpad... well, they don't. I got Metal Slug X and 3 installed, Pocket RPG, N64 and SNES emulator, and they work flawlessly with my touchpad. But I installed games like Chaos Rings and Eternal Legacy and they do not recognize the touchpad. Well, those are Xperia Play optimized games, but I read that they had already problems when playing on android 2.3.3+. So is there anybody that experienced same problems? Or is there a fix of some kind?
Also I applied the O button fix, but the 'keypad-zeus.kl' reverse itself to default values (back instead of button B)... WTH?
And btw - is there any update for the things I have 'onboard'? I included screenshot (it's in Polish, but it's pretty clear) of the things I have.
Ask - if I missed something, I'll gladly answer! ^^

I recently got a play.... I couldn't get the touch pad to work at all in cm7 (shame coz im a fan of cm7)
Im now using gin2jellybean ROM and the touch pads work fine on all the games iv tried
I haven't tried Chaos Rings or Eternal Legacy tho
Still nothing... It's kind of sad that there's no workaround or solution for this problem... I can't play many games because when I press Square or Triangle, the X button is virtually pressed as well...

Have you tried using this?

Yeah, and it was a no-go... I'm even thinking of reversing to original android 2.3.4... but is it worth it even? I'd love to have 4.1.2 and play game normally, without lag or multipress issues...
Hi. I wonder if it would be possible to make apps believe that the gamepad on xperia play is a moga controller. I want to play Portalize with the gamepad, moga optimized, but not Xperia Play...

Cant test right now as I have just sold my play but if tincore mapper works on the xp you can use that. In settings there is a gamepad mode and you can make the games think you have a moga, dualshock, shield or ipega. I use it for my s7300b but Im not sure about compatibility on the xp. Games normally come up with 'gamepad detected' and show the moga controls when it is set up. Hope that helps

If you don't want to root then you're missing out. Besides, Tincore Keymapper requires root, that's why it crashed.
__IMPORTANT________
This application requires root for advanced mapping modes.

Also I have emailed Heaval, the developers of Portalize, with some links about optimizing it. So if nothing else shows up I have to wait for an answer. Still Thanks for your support!
Rooting is so easy and there are no drawbacks. Opens your phone to so much more, and tincore is awesome

The problem with Xperias crashing is fixed in the latest version (3.1.4)
About root. There is no other way to simulate a controller.
Could someone explain to me how to use this app? When I install and run it there appear mouse cursor on my screen (I cannot move with it and I don't know how to disable it - if I uncheck mouse pointer in settings, nothing happens) and if I open the app from notification area, there is no options called MOGA or something like this, only some settings which has no influence so I don't really know what is purpose of this app...
I want play Portalize with gamepad too, but Gamekeyboard has settings only for "gamepad to Xperia gamepad" but haven't "Xperia gamepad to gamepad".
i really miss ps1 support on ics, and i hate sacrificing one thing for another just to get ps1 support. upgrading downgrading i want to be on ics with ps1 support and lets NOT discuss ps1 emulators like fpse or other because the xperia play Cant really handle that. The ps1 support is not gone from ICS, if you put the crash game on the gb ver it still works but our old PSXPeria method has been patched.
i have a bunch of my ps1 disks that i would love to put on my xperia NO EMULATORS. Any ideas?

Uh, have you ever even tried an emulator? epsxe works great on my Xperia play, and that was at 1ghz before I installed custom ROM. Hardly any slowdowns in any of the games with 0 frameskip. I'm sure with overclocking it would be perfect.
no matter how many time i rack my brains or loose sleep over trying to config those damn emulators i can NEVER get it to run in full speed. (Not yelling at you btw lol)
i only get about 20-30 fps maybe
but im currently trying fpse, if you have this can you please upload the config file (Backed up through menu)
or do you think or recommend epsxe more?
maybe also backup config files?
Sorry I don't have much experience with fpse. I definitely recommend epsxe. I can post my config file later on when I have some time.
You may also try Retroarch. I tried it because it sounds great in theory, especially because it is free, but I found the implementation to be very poor and a pain and the ass to configure and use at all.. So I broke down and went with epsxe
Flash gingerbread. There is no way to get it workin on ics. I tryed for a very long time tried to replicate what yifanlu did on gingerbread but its past my knowhow. Maybe you could try resigning it to ics but you will propably get parsing error
Sent from my LT28i using xda app-developers app
Yeah that's what I was gonna add is, why not dual boot to GB as well? But anyway, send me a PM if you still want the epsxe config file (I might not check this thread), but then I'll post it in the thread when you remind me.
yea i had no choice but to downgrade but my phone is breaking down with every flash and i just did it again:crying: im not supposed to flash back to GB on my phone because it dosent work correctly anymore.
Downgrading to GB gets me this,
auto rotation animation broken
720p recording broken
both unfix able errors no matter what kernel i use
theres no real explanation on why these happen but i believe that my xperia play is breaking down, and i still fave to flash back and forth form ics to use my camera!
Everytime I play on an emulator such as N64oid or SNESdroid, my fps drops drastically if i touch the gamepad keys at all. Unfortunately, I use my C pad on the right gamepad, and it does work, but it lags badly. When I tried to play Modern Combat 4, I noticed the same issue was there. I could not play because the gamepad I use to move my guy around was lagging. Is there any fix to this?

yep ive seen the same thing on every JB rom. If im not correct the reason is because the touchpad drivers are not offically for JB and have been back ported not compiled form JB source. currently unfix able.

I'm having trouble finding a decent rom for gaming that supports the touchpads without lag. What roms will work? This problem is slightly annoying since it makes it impossible to play Modern Combat and a lot of other games...
well the best answer is always Gingerbread rom with a bit of overclock of necessary, everything works there. just look for a 2.3.7 version rom.
