Here's my first custom ROM for the A7.
It has support for Microsoft's XBox 360 controllers and some bundled emulators. Wired controllers just plug in to the USB port. Wireless controllers need the USB Receiver for PCs. This makes a great combo for a portable gaming station with the HDMI output.
XBox 360 Controller:
The controller can be used for some basic navigation around Android OS. The buttons need to be configured in each emulator.
They are mapped to key presses as follows:
A = A
B = B
X = X
Y = Y
Left Bumper = L
Right Bumper = R
Left Trigger = T
Right Trigger = Z
Left Stick Click = 0
Right Stick Click = 1
DPad = Left/Right/Up/Down (in landscape mode. it will be sideways in portait mode)
Start = ENTER
Back = ESCAPE
Xbox Guide = HOME
Apps:
The emulators included are free/lite ones from the market place. If you like them or to save state, purchase the full versions. The script that installs these is supposed to only do it once, so they should be easy to uninstall if you don't want them.
ConnectBot and Dolphin Mini Browser are also installed on the first boot of this ROM.
ADB:
The ROM automatically sets up ADB to listen over tcp on port 2323. This will make your device a little less secure but makes development and debug much faster for me. To disable this open a command prompt and type:
su
setprop services.adb.tcp.port -1
stop adbd
start adbd
You will have to do that every reboot to disable adb over tcp.
Base:
This is built off Dexter's 1.1 Mod, so all his changes should be in here too. GMail and Market seem to work fine.
To Install:
Copy update.zip to an sdcard and put it in the tablet. Power down the tablet. Enter recovery mode. Wipe the Cache. Wipe user data. Install update.zip from the sdcard.
Known Oddities:
The LED ring on the wireless remotes will flash the entire time, but it functions fine.
The LED ring on a wired controller will advance by 1 section each time the device sleeps/wakes up.
The controller sends all its keys on first connection.
Only 1 controller input is supported for now. The wireless receiver supports upto 4 so hopefully I can get some multiplayer going soon!
Link:
I've uploaded the update.zip file to Mediafire.com since I don't have the webspace anywhere to host a file this size (90mb). The file reference is "2hm8i9jt32btmkw"
This forum will not allow me to post a link direct link since I'm a new user, so if another user could post it ( "mediafire.com" then "/?" then "2hm8i9jt32btmkw" ), I would greatly appreciate it.
Try it out and give me some feedback

Just wondering ... this is not a multi-touch screen ... can you control the D-Pad and press like A Button without lifting the D-Pad ?

Yeah, it lets you hit multiple buttons at once.
In Mario 3 I could hold the run button and use dpad, then jump/fly without trouble.
In Mario 1 I had trouble changing directions in the air while jumping but I think that is part of the game.
In the PSX emulator I could hold Circle & DPad to run around.
The only strange thing I can think of is that the Left Trigger and Right Trigger are converted from Analog to Digital (they measure 0-255 but only report on/off). Because of how I did that, games probably wont recognize holding down those buttons, only a momentary press.

MOD Edit: You got it
Generic Controllers
I've been able to map keys on a small USB keyboard to control my emulators. I installed your mod, and I cannot get it to work with a USB Logitech controller.
I don't have a wired 360 controller, but I do have wireless. How would I get that to work? Do I just have to have the USB 360 Reciever for Windows? Thanks in advance.
Thank You - SlingPlayer App question
Thank you for your work on this rom.
I was able to get things working well but i'm having a small issue with my slingplayer app not being able to open. It installs fine but when I click to open it the screen goes black for a second and then returns to the home screen. It was working using Dexter's 1.1 rom before but I occasionally had to open it 2-3 times before it worked.
Any idea what the problem could be?
One other question - Do you notice the screen is pixilated on the external display when you hook up your a7 via hdmi?
X
XBOX 360 PC Controller
Apparently I found the LAST wired 360 controller in town! Everywhere I went this week only had the wireless controllers. That would be fine if I had the USB receiver for it.
Anyway, I've been using the controller with my emulators and it works like a champ! It is very touchy on diagonal directions in games like Contra for NES. In the levels where you run side to side, and face up to the walls firing straight and not diagonal is a pain.
Has anyone had any success with PSX emulators? I got one off the Marketplace and I haven't gotten it to work yet. I've only tried one Bios so far, but I'll keep at it.
I've also noticed in this ROM my internal memory doesn't display correctly anymore. It worked in Dexter's 1.1 Mod.
I ordered my controllers off ebay. 2 for $50. I've got the PSX emulator to play. BUT its very choppy, and the sounds awful. I tryed Diablo and only got to the first mob and my cha glitched out. That being said All the other emulator work 100%!!!
Thanks so much creators of awesome!!
I tried installing your mod - did a wipe and cache wipe before install - plugged in my madcatz xbox360 wired controller, and it wont work, is there something in settings I have to change? The light flashes, but it wont control anything.
Thanks so much for this Mod. It really opens up the gaming on the a7. Will there be a update from Dexters new update?
update
Great work.
Update with new Dexter mod?
To use a wireless remote, you do need a Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows.

I edited the driver to only support Microsoft brand remotes to simplify working on it. I'll add back in the other stuff now since I have a better idea of how it works.

Hi
I've been toying with the idea of using the note as amongst other things a sort of game tab.
With that said, I've been researching around the web and found a plethora of gampads both usb and BT.
Now the one thing that seems to be an issue is game support and remapping of keys.Also in alot of cases ( samsung gamepad!!! ) you also have to repurchase the games either from playstore or from developer xxxxxx market .
I've tested a few , amongst them steelseries free, but there is always something missing.
For example I love the size and feel of the steelseries, but the game support is so so, and even games that it does support have missing features/ functions. Best example GTA 3 + steelseries free = no button for horn in the game ( a few missions actually need that)
Now I've considered getting a ps3 controller, but I'm not planing to root my unit anytime soon ( unless the whole knox issue is sorted), but then I'm left with the question is there a way to remap key without root?
Or for that mater are there any other controllers that would allow that without root??
Anyone?
Check out the Nyko Playpad. I BELIEVE with the Nyko Playground app you might be able to do the reconfiguration to your liking.
My review of the pad is here: http://reviews.greenrobotgamer.com/game-review/nyko-playpad-pro-controller/
Can anyone confirm the remapping of nyko is possible without root??
Anyone have anything to add to this?

Try a wired ps3 pad with sixassix or however its spelt its not to problematic but unsure if you can remap without root but I'm sure that will be your best bet its quite easy to remap and build touch profiles just search YouTube and you will be well away
I have a moga controller and use the universal moga driver app. It allows me to use the controller as a virtual keypad (gamepad mode requires root) and it works just fine for my PSOne and SNES games.
I'd also recommend the moga pro. Best gamepad out there. Official and unofficial driver app, for gamepad or keyboard input and complete 360 style layout. Also very nice attachment for smartphones and works with alot of games out of the box and all emulators i tried have a profile for it. Epsxe for example even with analog support.

Can you confirm key remapping and " touchscreen "support ?

Hm not sure if I understand correctly what you mean so I'll try
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.obsidianx.android.mogaime
with this app you can use the gamepad in "keyboard mode" meaning you can map any button on the gamepad to any "key" possible on the android keyboard. In this mode all keys are digital buttons though including the analog sticks, because that's the way keyboards work. This works without root.
The app has a gamepad mode which enables full analog support for the sticks but that requires root.
-->BUT there is an official moga app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bda.pivot.mogapgp) which also has two modes which you can switch to with the controller itself. There is a "moga" mode (green light) and a standard HID gamepad mode (orange light). With those two modes you're able to basically play every android game that has built in gamepad support, including full analog sticks. And both the ps1 emulator i use (epsxe) and the N64 emu (Mupen64) work with one of those modes out of the box. I don't even have the universal driver installed anymore because it is not needed in most cases.
Now to your other thing, I believe you mean mapping touchscreen input to the buttons? Bad news: There is no app or controller that allows you to do that without root. As far as I know at least, and I was following the development of those apps quite closely, even worked as a beta tester for this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.poke64738.usbjoygold
Just the info I was looking for
While on the subject, does the sixaxis app work without root? Might be able to get my hands on a ps3 controller.
Strongly considering moga at this point.
btw any experience with the moga pocket or hero (small one) ??

Sixaxis and a PS3 controller work very well, have touchscreen support and allow remapping but you have to be rooted. I have used Sixaxis on my Xoom and S4 (both of which are rooted) but thanks to Samsung and their stupid Knox nonsense, I cannot use Sixaxis on my Note.
I figured that you need root to get touchscreen part working, but do you need root for the rest ( on the sixaxis app) ie will it work at all without root?
Not keen on shelling out 25$ and realising that I might as well bought a moga hero or pocket for a 10 or so more that would to the job just as well.
btw any thoughts on nyko playpad vs moga hero or pocket?

Just read the description of the app on play store. The first line under important says Root required. So yes it needs root. And I'm sure you'll find reviews of those controllers on YouTube.
You can connect a ps3 controller to a android wireless but you will need root privileges. An OTG Cable Could be used to connect the controll with a wire and without root.
Has anyone setup snesx emulator yet? I can get it side loaded but I'm trying to connect it to xbmc with advanced launcher or the rom loader without luck so far.
Yes i have run snes emulator
just push roms with ADB.
i have a video on youtube of it running.
I got retroarch working. I used the arm7 v1.0.0.2-r34. The Amazon Fire game controller did not work with it but it worked great with the XboX 360 controller. Retorarch detect the amazon game remote and you can use the D pad but the buttons don't work. I got it directly from libretro.com
I put my roms on my google drive account and linked my google drive to es file explorer cloud and moved them to the fire tv that way.
Hmmm I'm trying to avoid copying the files to the firetv, not a lot of space so was hoping to do it within xbmc so it can access the files over the network.
probably a long shot but has anyone tried the dolphin emulator on this?

I tried dolphin emulator but it forcequit immediately. I can upload the logcat if you're interested.
also you can use ES file explorer to associate the emulators with the rom file types, and browse to a network share and run the roms from there. this worked with emulators with roms below a certain threshold size (N64 largest that worked) but the Wii rom and dolphin wouldn't work
Loading ROMs ?????

If you have ROMs on a network share drive on you LAN you should be able to use ES File Explorer to copy them. Or - how about dropbox?

With the limited space on the firetv you don't want to copy the roms to the device until they add the ability to use the USB port for extending the storage.

As MrMichaelJames says space is limited, but if you aren't copying more than a couple of GBs worth then you should be fine. That's what I've done for now. As to how to get ROMs to the Fire TV, you can use push via ADB, but that is tedious IMO. I just side loaded an FTP server and fire that up when I want to add or remove files. Then you can connect from your PC with an FTP client and just drag and drop files.

In ES File Explorer under like network you will see a cloud option. Choose that and tell it to add your google drive. I put the apps on my google drive account and then they show up in ES File Explorer so i can transfer them to the Fire TV.

Nothing fancy, but it works well. I tried a some others, but many wouldn't recognize the Ethernet connection and kept looking for a cell/wifi connection. And in case you do not know already, you can aquire the APK for any free app on Google Play using this website:
http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
Just enter the package name, in this case "com.rapfox.ftpsvr", and then click generate download link.
Reicast works, but for some reason, it will not start any game, although they are listed.
Snes9x works great, unless image effects are selected.
ppsspp works. Most 3d games are not playable (Tekken 6, GT), but some are (Patapon 3, Ridge Racer 2).
SuperN64 works, but framerate is not rock stable.

I'm using the Nyko Playpad Pro and initially, couldnt get buttons working as I wanted with the default input, I then configured the PS3 input, remapped some keys and BOOM!
Old skool SMB, Donkey Kong, Dig Dug, Galaga etc..
They claim that Wifi control may work (using your phone as a controller for multiplayer) but have yet to try it!
Emulator Parameters
I have RetroArch, and all my roms installed on my media server (Windows 7), but have not been able to get it to launch successfully on my FireTV.
So far I have been attempting to use ROM Collection Browser (RCB) to manage and launch my roms, but have reached a point where I am now stuck.
If I use the autoconfig setup in RBC it defaults my application path to /usr/bin/retroarch. As you might guess, RetroArch is not installed there.
It currently is at smb://XXX.XXX.X.X/EMU/RetroArch (where XXX is my IP address). I am able to set the path to the exe file, but the arguments
for the parameters are killing me.
In the documentation for RetroArch, it says the arguments should read:
-f -L /usr/lib/liberto/core_library "%rom" (where core_library is the approriate value for the system to be emulated)
So I tried :
-f -L /smb://XXX.XXX.X.X/EMU/ROMS "%ROM%" in order to point it towards my rom directory. Needless to say, this didn't work, and I really have no
idea what I am doing when it comes to arguments.
If someone could help square me away on setting the arguents to have RCB launch RetroArch from a remote location and have it load roms correctly,
you would be my hero. I have tried searching, but most of the help I find is directed at either running RetroArch directly from Windows, or through
Android, which I know the FTV is, but a very limited version of it.

Unfortunately dude, i've tried this many times and it doesnt work because the firetv cant launch files on LAN even though RCB is fully able to find the files. The furthest i've gotten was being able to import the roms and scrape the artwork but then after that you get a message saying that the fire tv cant launch the rom because it can't see the path
the only way it could is if somehow firetv got modded to mount network drives. otherwise your either going to have to go 1 of 2 routes
1) if your firetv is rooted, put the roms on a flashdrive and mount it onto the firetv - but doing that means u have to plug out the controller
2) ADB Push the ROMs or use cloud storage to download the ROMs to local storage
3) Use an addon to download the rom+scrape directly to the device, either advanced launcher or freeroms downloader
with that being said, if someone somehow figured out a way to mount network drives - this would be some nice information to share
EDIT: I suppose this could work as well https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lysesoft.andsmb&hl=en
I've found that all the .emu emulators work the best for the systems they're made for.
Snes9x ex is the same dev
The dev for fpse is sending me a test version to get triggers on the 360 working

I suppose if I went this route, I could install RetroArch directly to the FTV and hopefully avoid all these configuration issues. Do you know if sideloading RA for Android would work in this case, as it seems to be the easiest and best soultion. Plus I would gain an addition 64GB of storage from my thumb drive on the back, which would be awesome. Then I could keep all those games the I keep downloading, and move the XBMC thumbs to a remote location, freeing up additional space.

it would work for sure..
only reason why i havent done this is because it would sacrifice the use of a bluetooth keyboard/mouse (unless there was one that could natively pair with the firetv without needing a dongle)
I bought the k400 keyboard, and seems to work pretty good, but I can't figure out how to left click (select) with the mouse on my fire tv. The obvious mouse button on the keyboard doesn't seem to do anything. I thought I remember seeing a post somewhere about having to use a different button for mouse clicking, but can't find it anywhere?

left click is working for me in apps that support a mouse.. maybe your app isnt mouse worthy?
Figured it out... I didn't realize the mouse function doesn't work on the main screen, but does on most apps.
There is in fact,four ways on my K400r to left click since Android hates right clicking.
The K400r is an update to K400 with Windows 8 control design,and the best part by chance is that it might relate to the ARM version of W8 as well.
The four ways are the top left button,left mouse click,right mouse click,and tapping the touchpad.
At least using "Complete Linux Installer" to run ubuntu 13.10 SMALL on my Fire TV proves that right clicking is fully functional on a Linux Distro.
Some VNC apps do not have support for right clicking,but bVNC does.
I need help getting Linux Deploy setted up so I can test the better refresh rate compared to VNC's choppy refresh rate.
Wouldn't it be hilarious to run Android within the linux vnc while Android is already being used on the device?
I can't find a damn armhf based Android runner for Linux,what sense make not!
How are we supposed to reverse engineer Android execution if there is no application for using it directly on Linux armhf?
I would figure that you would just mimic the original method,but using the Linux GUI in a window.
The reason I am so determined to get to this point is because Linux armhf lacks adobe flash player altogether while Android still has the last version.
Is there an old version of adobe flash player for armhf Linux,or can somebody miraculously port the Android Flash to Linux armhf?
Hey guys wanted to share this here. I have created a client/server app for android + pc. I designed it specifically for Nvidia Shield Portable, but it should work with any android device (OS4.4 KitKat) that has a true android gamepad attached.
A-PC GamePad <- check out my website for more details.
So what is it?
This is a solution to use your Nvidia Shield as a PC GamePad. There is an android app (client) that takes over the gamepad input and sends it over wifi to a PC app (server). The server app feeds a vJoy gamepad with the input from the Shield gamepad.
The android app runs in the background, so you can have any app run in the foreground. You can run Nvidia's GameStream or Splashtop Streamer and still control your PC. This app overrides the controls from the gamepad. This means you can stream your games even if your PC is not gamestream ready! You can still navigate the Shield with the touchscreen, back and home buttons.
Supports multiple controllers! I have only tested with two gamepads (Shield Portable, and Shield Controller), but it should work with up to 16 gamepads. If anyone has success with more controllers, please let me know.
Note that the vJoy app emulates a DirectInput controller, not an Xinput controller. However, you can run x360ce for Xinput games. I have found that this interferes with Xinput controllers attached to the PC at the same time. For now, this is going to be how it works.
I really want to hear some feedback so please let me know what you think.
This is what I've been looking for, thanks!
I'll check it out next week and give you feedback.
