I have a Moga Pro, and Shield TV. I see in the Google Play store that there is an app called Moga Universal Driver, for mapping touch screen buttons to physical buttons on a Moga controller.
If I sideloaded this app to my Shield TV, could I use this with a Moga Pro with games that have touch only controls? Also, can I sideloaded and use games on my Shield TV that have Moga support?
I'd like to know this as well. Disabling the touchpad on the shield controller was a terrible idea. But apparently it's a Google TV thing, not Nvidia. Or so I've read over at the geforce forums.
Yea it's a Google thing, and they want you to buy Android TV compatible games. I started sideloading games that have controller support, but not all of them work.
I really want to play Hill Climb Racing and it's not Android TV compatible. I can sideload it and was wondering if the Moga controller would work for the on-screen gas and brake buttons.

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 program to make a Sixaxis look like a MOGA controller to apps that can use MOGAs? With several high-profile games getting gamepad support, but only for MOGAs, it'd be nice if I could trick them into letting me use my Sixaxis. If not, I hope someone can make this.
Well the problem is that you need special drivers. The SixAxis doesn't pair up in our conventional ways. There was only 1 rom on my Transformer that actually included Sixaxis drivers IN the rom which allowed for a direct pairing of the controller and it would work natively.
Also, the Moga App flags something in the game because if I launch the game outside of the moga app, I don't get all the neat controller button assignment screens. The Moga app seems to create more lag in the controllers response then connecting it directly using the Moga Drivers Install from the play store.
Really it is just a bluetooth profile. I don't know if they do any special tagging or flagging outside of the moga app.
The best way to accomplish this is probably to get in touch with the creator of the Moga Driver Installer from the play store. He manipulates the controller to read either as a system service or a IME keyboard (similar to the way sixaxis works). In theory, he could pick up support for the sixaxis and translate the inputs through the IME too. This should then come across as a Moga controller.
Does it have a mapping tool so you can play games that don't support a controller or can you not download them at all?
don't know really. It has some kind of touch pad on it. But since Ouya has a controller, the games designed for it will have gamepad inputs.
for other games, who knows yet. Maybe Sixasxis Controller app may be able to help. It has touch simulator profiles. It's rather hit and miss on it's success. It's not the app, but some game's touch inputs are not static, so it makes it more difficult to setup.
they support sixaxis controllers natively, and there are rumours that a few people will be porting their controller-mapping apps to OUYA, for the purpose of adapting those touchscreen .apk's...
There is nothing so far on the marketplace or on the major OUYA forums
Has anyone tested the Interworks Controller Pro U (aka Retro Classic Controller) with the Ouya (or any Android device)? I'm especially interested in joystick functionality...

Has anyone been able to use a game controllers mwith their Maxx? Either Moga, PS3, XBOX, etc.? I have the Moga, and PS3 controller, but it seems to get them to work I need to Root my phone. I'd like to not do this.
I have the moga pocket and i dont need root
Only the moga pívot app and moga universal driver for ppsspp and drastic (ds emulator)
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.
