My brother has a unlocked R800at and I have been trying to find an app that will let him map touchscreen presses to the physical buttons. I know that sixaxis controller has this feature, but it is only for external controllers. Is there something that will enable you to play any game by mapping the touchscreen buttons to the controller?
GameKeyboard is capable of doing so, but I never tinkered with it enough to figure out exactly how. It its a paid app, so you might want to look at some guides.

I have searched but I can't find the answer. Is there any way to save my current progress on N64 games with Mupen64 on the Xperia Play The menu button does nothing. I have mapped the buttons correctly with the developers own config file.
I tried posting this in the Mupen64 thread but I'm a N00b and xda won't let me
Help!

Its still a work in progress so its best to wait a few updates until the GUI is implemented, then you will be able to use save states easily without having to use all the config files.
OK Thanks. I love the smoothness of Mario64. Very impressed. Just another of the many features to show off at the pub!
Hi all xda members I'm posting this in hopes to get a list of people who have the play and would like to see Onlive add a button mapping feature so that games that require r2 and l2 buttons work. I figure a get a lot of people to back me on this forward the link to the developer and low and behold games that required additional buttons would be playable assuming the developer would listen to potential customers. So post a positive affirmation of button mapping capabilities and I'll send it over to the developer.
And please feel free to post any ideas of work around for this problem I'm dying for some trine action on this play.
PS happy holidays and my love to all the hard work that goes on in this forum

If anything, we need a solution for left/right thumbstick clicks.
A guy had a conversation with an OnLive rep about the situation (that can be found here: http://onlivefans.com/showthread.php?p=170555) and they said the the OnLive app for the Xplay was in it's early stages and it's possible that a solution could be found in future.
Obviously the rushed the Xplay optimization because wr kept complaining and they wanted to keep us happy.
I think a solution for left/right analog stick clicks for the Xplay would be to have them register when a person makes a double click or a hold of a button. Added onscreen controls would be better though.

solution for left/right thumbstick clicks
how about the: Analog Joystick Game Controller Joypad for ipad ipad2 samsung Tablet :Thumbies Gaming Control Button for iPhone iPod Touch :Fling Vs Fling Mini Hands-On or iPad - Joystick-It from ThinkGeek. On top of the Xperia Play own touch analog joystick....
Had my Ouya for over a month and... haven't really used it much. Got a lot on my plate and this thing is too brickable for someone like me to mess with. I'm hoping that the public release will include some surprises (really, I just hope it becomes worth the $99 I paid a year ago). Like everyone else around here, I'm pretty bummed out that the Ouya people completely lied about this system being hacker-friendly, and the games available on their store... um.... pretty much all suck. Installed amazon app store and nova launcher BTW. Improvement, but not so much as would make me choose to use the ouya over my ps3, computer, tablet, or.... um.... a block of wood. (wow, didn't intend to rant. sorry).
In the meantime, I'd like to use the controller with some of my steam games. It's unbelievably simple to connect it to my PC, and it is recognized as an Ouya controller, but the buttons are mapped... strangely. For the life of me I can't understand why remapping the buttons is not built into windows. So.... anyone know how to do this?
Thanks in advance.
Try the utility used for the Logitech Game Pad.

If the Ouya shows up as a "game controller", then you can map it. Look for the option in my screen shot attached below.

Unless I'm doing something wrong, that doesn't appear to work. The ouya controller comes up as a game controller (even when you use the "game controllers" link in the tray menu) but the "profiler" says that it does not detect any game controllers. I uninstalled and reinstalled the ouya controller to see if that would make a difference.
This is a bit ridiculous. An "open" system that you can't hack and can't repurpose. This thing is going to flop so badly at retail it's painful to think about it.
there are no drivers. You're more hoping that generic HID gamepad drivers are going to work. And CoachClass said to try it. He/she didn't claim it was going to work. Obviously, he/she has some experience or read of others using other controllers with it and that it if showed in the spot, it usually worked.
Now, if the controller actually turns out to be worthwhile, someone will create some kind of app to use it on the PC. Be patient, the console hasn't even been released to the public, so it's still in beta.

By your tone I'll assume you think I said something rude to CoachClass. I think you should reread my comment. I was just reporting back that I tried the suggestion and it didn't work. I appreciated the suggestion.

I'm not doubting my tone came off harsh or a bit rude. Collateral damage from other things. Nonetheless, I'm not going to excuse what I said, came off more harsh than intended. My tone was more overall to the post overall given the last line of your post. The other comments were more implied based off that line.
But what I said was true about the drivers, and the need to be patient for them to come along. If you like the controller, it may be worth while to ask Ouya to create the drivers at some point in the future.

I'm alright, we're cool.
I'm getting my Ouya next week, so I'll be able to play with it a little. I understand some of the disappointment. Ouya would be better as a pure Android machine. I won't referee whether the company lived up to their promise of making an open system or not. I could see that they meant open as in anyone could develop a game for it, but the rest of XDA wants a system that we can play with.
But, I'm still looking forward to using it for some of the things we know works. It would be nice if the Ouya controller can be repurposed as a PC controller, or even phone/tablet controller, but I'm glad other controllers (PS3, Logitech) could be used on the Ouya. That's a plus, so I'd give them credit for that.
Anyways, hope with more people working on the Ouya it'll be able to satisfy our expectations. I'm glad for everyone who's on this forum and generating ideas and trying out stuff.

Hey, wait a minute. Has anyone tried connecting the Ouya to their phone/tablet?
There's a bluetooth gamepad call the Moga. On the playstore, you can find an app for it. Not sure if that helps.

I connected mine to my galaxy tab 2 today, you need to hold the middle button down to get it to pair.
I was trying to figure out Tincore Keymapper, but it doesn't have very good documentation and the tutorial on YouTube skips a lot of early steps and moves way to fast.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tincore.and.keymapper
Hopefully something similar will be available for Windows.

Bump, has anyone figured this out?
I used a Bluetooth USB dongle and the controller connects and is recognized as "OUYA Game Controller" in Win7 Devices but the buttons don't work with anything/arent mapped. In the Device Calibration I can light up all 16 buttons with the controller but outside of that they dont work. The touchpad works to move the mouse & click but nothing else.
so ive been googleling for a couple of pages now and is it really that hard to remap the home button on android? cant seem to find answer.
i want to map the home button to a app for now until i find a more long term solution.
Not possible? Anyone?

Well, it's not that hard, there are some apps out there which can remap keys, but as per your wish, it's not actually remapping totally, total remap is easy, but you want to change some of the function of a single key, which is kinda difficult and a lot of editing work
May be there are some apps which do open apps from volume key trigger, I don't know if it have home key trigger also
I don't remember the app name, you can search for it.
Hit thanks if I helped

I've got two of two of these from two vendors. Both of them have mics. Everything works out of the box but the voice search. Anybody here with the same issue? Solution? Thank you.
FYI- Most of those t-3's and mx3's do not have the mic I would test it on another system .
I have bought about a dozen plus from ebay trying to find ones with mics that worked.. It was a no go.

I use one of these same remotes (possibly different vendor, lot of different versions on Amazon) with my Shield TV and am able to use the voice input and searching. Out of the box it was also not working as others described, but then I installed MKR (can be installed from the web version of the play store directly to the Shield. See link below) to map the keys on the remote and was able to get it to function perfectly. Can use the voice search just like the standalone Shield remote and gamepad. Plus you can configure every other button as well. Example, I have the Red button open Netflix, yellow button launches Plex, Green button Hulu, ect.. Remote is pretty damn awesome with the shield after mapping the buttons how I wanted. Give it a shot.

Thanks for your reply.Voice on the remote is not a function that is assigned to a button. I'll give it a try but it is possible that your remote is more capable than mine.

Ok so I downloaded the app you have mentioned and when I go to assign the function for the "mic" key which one should I pic? (there are "gamepad", "keyboard", "Phone", "Media/TV", "Others") under which is the actual mic action?

On my version of the remote when you are prompted for voice input i have to hold down the mic button while i talk. For example if im on youtube and i go to the search section it will prompt me to say somthing then i hold down the mic button talk and then release the button.

Not to sure about the shield ir as i have the 1st gen. I have programmed the IR for my tv and sound bar.
I also recommend to remap buttons in android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton
Alot of buttons on the remote are pointless and i never use so i have remapped them to quick launch apps red=youtube yellow=iplayer green=all4 blue=terrarium/kodi and i have also remapped the search button to bring up google assistant. You can also remap as long press our double tap. Thats what i did for the blue button press=terrarium long press=kodi.

i can guarantee that this control does not operate search by voice on the shield
what happens a lot of times is that staff speaks and the voice is captured by the shield's original controllers
there is no voice control t3 and yes the original control that is capting your voice
if you remove all original commands in shield settings you will see that the t3 voice command does not work
