I have been trying to pair a wii remote on my rooted Nvidia Shield Android TV for the past couple of days. I want to pair it so I can use the dolphin emulator to play wii games. Firstly, I have done this before on older devices, but it seems that being on android 6.0 there is an issue. I have tried to pair with wiimote controller and bluez ime and could not get it to sense the controllers. The Bluetooth option to add an accessory on the console shows the wii remote as available, but asks for a pin when you do it. I have tried keying "0000 and 1234" and no luck. It is not my controller, because I have tried 2 different controllers. Its not my console because I've tried to pair on my phone as well. Is there something I am missing? Or do the apps just need updating to work on Android Marshmallow firmware?

You need the Mayflash Wii Bar, thats the unique solution.
I have a "practical wired Sensor Bar w/ USB cable". Should this work? If so, how do I go about using it? Do I use a certain app?

Today I scored two PS3 controllers at a pawn shop for $25. I just tried hooking them up to my XOOM with a USB hub, and the system recognizes both of them. Cool. So, I pop open Mario Kart and test out two player mode.
In the SNESoid settings, there is an option for a second gamepad. I mapped the buttons to one PS3 controller to the first pad, and the other to the second, however, they both seem to want to control player one and two at the same time.
So, has anyone been able to set this up correctly?
No one's tried to play multiplayer with a hub?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
sorry I can't help with your question, but I was wondering what cable you use to connect a single ps3 controller and what software you need (drivers, etc.) Thanks.
I haven't tried to use a hub and a multiplayer game but i will try tomorrow and get back to you. But my otg host cable of choice is this one. I didn't need any special software, just an emulator and some roms to play. Just make sure you map all the buttons on the emulator.
Yeah, it doesn't work: the USB drivers map controller presses to keyboard input (including the analog stick). Therefore though honeycomb recognizes both devices, the output from them looks exactly the same from an app perspective: just keyboard presses. Same thing goes for using a PS3 controller with an Xbox controller. Best thing to do is wait for wiimotecontroller to support PS3 controllers via Bluetooth or mix in wiimotecontrollers.
That's what I thought.
I even looked online to see if there was a way to hack a PS3 controller to make it output different keys. For example, instead of making the directional pad use the up, down, left and right keys, totally remap it to use something like H, J, K and L etc. Unfortunately, this is impossible.
We need a Playstation 3 bluetooth app like what Wii controllers have.
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.
After seeing Transformer Prime + Logitech F710 in action, how do we get the same from HTC One X? Tegra 3 was said to support all game controllers like PS3, XBOX360. Does it really work and how to do it so there would be no apps needed like sixaxis and no compatibility issues?
i bought a ps3 controller just for this, but as I sent my first HOX back because of backlight flickering and haven't received a new one yet I haven't been able to try it. I don't think it will work via bluetooth without something like the sixaxis app.
Cant get my ps3 controller connected with the Sixaxis app, the compatibility checker says I'm compatible, used the sixaxispairtool to change the master Bluetooth on my controller to match the phone but when trying to pair it just says no controller found.
There is a video on YouTube of it working on a HOX with stock rooted ROM but I'm using Coredroid.
EDIT
Scratch that, managed to get it working, instructions on the sixaxis devs website a a bit misleading. Makes Shodowgun so much easier
Is it possible to use the Logitech 710 with the HTC One X? If so, how does it work?
Hello,
i'm having difficulty connecting my arsenal bluetooth ps3 controller to my rooted verizon galaxy nexus running cyanogenmod 10.
I got the MAC adress matching, and i even get the sixaxis controller app to confirm "client connected: 1"
but the controller never flashes 1 light and eventually disconnects.
when i try to pair under bluetooth setting it gets as far as telling me to enter a pin, but on the ps3 controller...
is there a way i can enter a pin on the controller itself?
i know the sixaxis controller app recommends sony brand controllers but i made the foolish mistake of buying a 3rd party one to save a few bucks...
i have also tried tried bluez IME settings and blueinput to no avail.
any help is appreciated, thank you!
I am on the latest version of FIre OS (5.2.7.2_r1) and am using a first party PS3 controller, the version with Dualshock and Sixaxis combined
I know this question has been asked and ansered before, but the methods I have tried to use have not worked for me, sadly.
I have tried Using Sixaxis Controller from DancingPixelStudios. I enable and set the IME from a terminal (cannot get a Settings.apk to install) I have set the Bluetooth Master Address both from the USB pairing method built into the app, and with Sixpair on a linux machine (a raspberry pi running the latest version of Raspbian) Stort the server and try to connect, nothing.
I tried the app Sixaxis Enable, which is supposed to connect the DS3 via USB, and I get a message saying that it's not supported.
I found an app called USB/BT Joystick Center. After setting the IME for it and connect my controller via USB, and when I click Search in the app, it finds the Unifying receiver, the powered USB hub I am using (I think) and the PS3 controller. It says that I click on it and it says that it loads a built in keymap or something along those lines, but the controller doesn't work...Maybe I just don't really know how to use the app properly, but so far the help option hasn't actually been much help. It says that if I want to use my PS3 controller over bluetooth, that I will need to connect an external USB Bluetooth Dongle with a CSR chipset (which I don't have)
Something interesting I have noticed, is that I have been getting a pop up request to enter the pin for my controller. I have tried 0000 and 1234, to no avail., Using an app called Bluetooth Settings, I currently have my device set to be fully discoverable and pairable.. What I can take away from this is that my box IS seeing the PS3 controller over bluetooth.
It kinda seems to me like all the methods available to do connect a PS3 controller to the FIre TV are all dead, or I'm doing something wrong, which is more than possible.
So I guess my question is, is there a way nowadays to use my official PS3 controller on my FIre TV? I have no real preferece if it is over USB or Bluetooth. (Unless I have company over Iam usually no further than 5 feet away from the box when I use it) and how do I acheive it if it can still be done?
THank you for the patience!

I feel your pain...
I also had this issue literally tried everything... I moved on and accepted it wasn't going to work, so purchased Bluetooth controllers.. Which would also not pair.. Til I ran a simple command...

Funny enough, I actually just recently found your reddit posts about this while looking for something else. Sadly it did not work for me that I know of.
After running your command via adb, my terminal gave me:
"Result: parcell(00000000 00000001 '........')"
Then I went to the Bluetooth menu, pressed the PS button on my PS3 controller, and tried to discover it as both a game controller, and under Other Bluetooth Devices.
Maybe im not doing something right, or maybe because I have the bluetooth master address in the controller set to the Fire's bluetooth MAC address, the fire thinks it is paired when it is not.
Further help would be appreciated if you know what im doing wrong with that method.
The good news though is that I HAVE discovered (or at least there are no nentions about it that I have seen) a method to use an official ps3 controller over USB, and will post a tutorial sometime in the next 24 hours.
Do you have busybox installed? Try it via the terminal emulator app on the device itself.
Also it sounds like you need to pair it again... In the settings forget the device. Then

Busybox is installed to /system/xbin
After trying to run the command in the terminal emulator included in Apps2SD Pro, I got the same response from the terminal and I still couldn't detect the controller over bluetooth.
