Using a ps3 controller with the evo - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering if there was any way to use a ps3 controller with the evo in the way that you can use a wiimote. I've searched the forums and google and I can't find any recent threads on it.

Don't know about PS3, but my friend got a Wii controller to work (the classic one that looks like an N64 controller).

Not yet, apparantly a guy was working on it, but has since stopped.

360 or PS3 Controller?

So..the Wiimote Controller app kicks butt...lets you play your nintendo games on your non-sense Android phones...anyone know of a project or app to get the 360 or PS controllers to work?
Well, the reason that the Wiimote works is because it uses bluetooth. I'm not quite sure what PS3/360 uses though.

ps3 controller too
I'd imagine they would be havoc to develop. Dual joystick use and 2 trigger buttons for a majority of PS3 games. Mental.
Sent from my Desire using XDA App
The Xbox controller uses bluetooth but it's not a standard bluetooth connection. Microsoft has changed it and made it non-standard so that won't work.

it is as of recently possible...the PS3 controller can only have the MAC address it connects to changed by USB (which an android phone does not have)...MotioninJoy, a pc PS3 controller program, just added a custom MAC address feature to his program so potentially the PS3 controller can be connected to the android
They got ps3 controller to work on windows mobile 6.5, cant be that hard to get it working on android?
well one can only hope..cuz the wiimote kinda sucks to play SNES games..not enough buttons! hmmm pondering a SNES/Wii classic controller..they have wireless ones on Amazon....
This would rock! You would need some kind of clip to attach your phone to the contoller though. I'm enjoying playing FF7 on my desire but the multitouch issue is getting annoying!
Would be awesome if the wiimote app would finnaly work on sense x-x i see really no point whats the problem with sense~

the problem is with the crappy bluetooth stack that htc have that doesnt work properly, so if you want it to work you need to get yourself on AOSP
Just a heads up, the 360 does not use bluetooth. Only the ps3 and wii do.

Universal OnLive Wireless Controller

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.

[Q] Galaxy Nexus Controller Support

Hello all again.
I am asking if anyone has gotten controller support running on their GNex. I have the sixaxis app installed; however, my PS3 controller is dead so I haven't verified that yet. I am pretty sure it will work though.
I know that native controller support is there for ICS devices, but, what devices are working or do you have working on your device? I would much prefer a 360 pad or arcade stick to a PS3 one.

[Q] Game controllers (Logitech F710) - How to connect? USB Host cable?

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?

Wii Remote support for Captivate Glide?

I've been trying to get the app Wiimotecontroller to connect a Wii remote to my Captivate Glide so I can use it with emulators but with no luck. Apparently you can get it working on the regular Captivate with Cyanogenmod, but there's no rom for the Captivate Glide yet. It sounds like the problem is with the Bluetooth stack. Does anyone know of a way to get Wii remotes working with the Captivate Glide?
I know of one controller app that might work...
Sixaxis controller works for PS3 controllers and maybe XBox you can google the program to change the Bluetooth address on the controller to match you phones address.
