Can the Game Controller be used on a PC - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I figured that since I am getting the controller for the Fire TV it would be pretty cool if I could play some emulators on my PC. Has anyone tried it?

I just tried on my Mac running mavericks. (2012mbp) It synced great, but my mouse ran to the bottom left corner perpetually, it was difficult to stop until I remembered the controller's got batteries. Syncs with windows 8 and works great on "The wonderful end of the world", no obvious problems.
Tried a second time on the mac, and same result. You can fight the cursor's down/left drag with the left stick, but it's terribly unusable.

So I went ahead and bought it anyway. Works great in PCSX2. Windows 7.

I have heard of BOCHS before but I never knew that it could run on Kindle, let alone Android...
I have seen it on a Sony PSP and iPad but never a android tablet

I've been looking for a way to get windows up and running on my kindle fire. I have the non-HD version but it comes w/ the new 10.2.4 OS. I have it rooted but that's pretty much it.
Would you be so kind as to point me in the right direction on how to set up Windows XP on the Kindle Fire? Did you follow a step-by-step guide? I'm not a dev in any sense but I can follow instructions fairly well
Also, did you manage to solve your touchscreen issue? Is the windows XP you have running usable as a daily driver? I would love to use this thing for work.
I PMed you as well.
Thanks!
It should just be tap to click. I have windows 95 on my fire and it works great.

Is that the version where you pretty much can't do anything with it other than simple applications? If it is fully functional can you please direct me to a link for further information?

I haven't had time to actually install anything on it, but as far as I know, everything works fine (no bugginess), except for network, which means you'll have to download any files using android and move them over to the virtual machine.
I would be interested in a guide on how to put windows on the fire as well. Seems like a crime but would be a cheap way to connect back with my win environment.

Vids/pics/music on XBOX

Surprised no one has talked about this at all. Anyway, happened to be watching Netflix on my XBOX last night, and while doing so, was checking out some pictures on my phone. Saw a button I never seen before that kind of looked like a little computer screen with 3 lines kind of going through it. I guess it said something like "view on another player". This apparently being the first time I was using my S3 and XBOX at the same time. So I press the button, and it stops my movie, and shows my picture on my TV!
Did some fooling around. As long as I'm using a stock music, video, or gallery app, and the file is on the phone itself, it will stream through my XBOX at the touch of a button. The free Avengers movie in Media Hub didn't work, Netflix didn't work. USB transferred an episode of Hell on Wheels over to the phone, it asked if I wanted to convert it to assure it would work on the phone and said yes, tried it out and it worked pretty good. I can only imagine how nice it would have looked if I hadn't converted it, going to try later and see.
Was just curious if anyone else has used this feature at all? Seems pretty cool to me.
I think that's DLNA.

The TV has nothing to do with it, it's going through my XBOX. It was just crazy to me because I've never been able to link my XBOX and computer properly, and I can see my computer in the gallery app sometimes but I can never see any files. I did happen to start a test on my battery while having basically everything running and all options available, so I have activated some options I normally don't use. I think one night I tried messing with the settings on my XBOX to get it to show my phone since it comes up on my roomie's PS3 although I've never tried using this feature on that before. Since I don't use my XBOX a whole lot lately, and I imagine it's possible others don't use it at the same time, I thought I'd mention it.
aNYthing, is that exactly what DLNA is? because, if so, there's a lot of people going and buying that allshare hub thing that wouldn't need to if they have an XBOX or PS3. Obviously Samsung is not going to promote that! I don't have the DLNA share option being used so it never occurred to me that it could be using it. I guess I assumed DLNA was something that was used to go directly to the TV, which in my case, is not what's happening, and definitely not possible.
Where was that monitor icon? On Xbox or phone?

on the phone. XBOX was already playing a Netflix movie. Pressed it and it stopped the movie I was watching, and a few seconds later, it appeared on my TV. Swiped to another pic, and IT popped up. Watched a short video I took the other day, it looked GREAT! As I said, I'm not really sure what I changed or if I established a link between my S3 and XBOX before or not but hey, it was pretty damn cool to me, lol.
Try serviio on your computer and enjoy videos on your computer through Xbox and on your phone. I've been using it for years

i have heard that ps3 media server works on xbox and you can do .mkv over it, also recently TVERSITY has been updated to supposedly do .mkv but I am yet to try it
It'll work on any dlna enabled device like my bravia tv

No it just streams it. If it stutters it might be ur connection or ur tv.

works great on my xbox. i'm sure the file has to be compatible but you probably won't get the other viewer option if it's not anyway.
My main purpose of this post was to find other people using the same feature and if they have any tips such as, what files will work for this or what apps can use it, etc.
had no idea i could do this until i saw this thread. thank you!
You have to be connected to the same Wi-Fi and it will work.
Or you can yes double twist and it does the same thing.

I made a tut on how to do this on the PS3 but it didn't seem too many people were interested in it. Simple though get a video converter and convert the movies to mp4 standard and don't let the phone convert it on transfer leave it the way it is and it will work no matter what, the phone sends everything by means of media player so any device that allows media server wifi conection will play from this device.

You have to re-pair it with the ps3 again by plugging it in.

I'm going to have to re-pair it between my Nexus 4 and my tablet every time I switch, won't I?
It makes sense, it's just annoying. Especially because I keep my games in sync using DataSync+.

I know this thread has been done for like a month but I have an urgent question.
Everytime I try to pair my N4 with m ps3 sixaxis dualshock it says
"
Attempting Connection type 1...
Driver Starting...
Could not start driver. Check that the driver has been given permission to run by the superuser app.
Attempting to close server...

I rooted my phone months ago, I have made the supersu app grant all superuser permissions and still nothing.
Can someone please help me?

lol are you chewing gum in the vid?
Ive also been wondering if non sony controllers will work but I dont think they will cause the sony dualshock ones use bluetooth built in to the controller and a lot of the cheap ones I've seen have their own usb reciever over a diff wireless frequency. like a usb you plug into the ps3 to make it wireless. Don't think those will work.
Just wanted to say that Dead Trigger (and some more games like GTA:VC) have native controller support and you don't have to edit the key mapping (but you can do it if you want to change something).
I have setups that fill well to Real Racing 3 and PewPew if anybody is interested.

note 3 PS3 controler

I have an UNROOTED note 3. I purchased the official Samsung OTG cable to connect my sixaxis ps3 controler to the note 3.
phone. I have sixaxis checked under language and input.I hit the ps3 button and it just flashes for a while and turns off. The phone recognized that a usb device is connected.
You still need sixaxis app. To configure everything. With root the only difference is blue tooth versus being connected through OTG.

i do have the sixaxis app. I have the ime set to sixaxis. in the sixaxis software I have gamepad checked. Still cant get any sort of control out of it. I just ordered a new otg cable to see if that is the issue. Anyone want to spend some time and do a small right up. Every video I;ve seen show you just hook it up and it works.

Game controller

Does anyone know if there is an android game controller out, that works with the fire stick/tv. I have a had a look but quite possibly haven overlooked one!
I know amazon have the official app, which I use and it got me thinking that a controller could be possible? I personally only need a basic one for playing emulators...anyone?
