im a huge gamer.. mostly classic games thru emulators like nes, snes, sega, and ps1. im looking for a controller.. wireless or not.. i just dont want to end up wearing a hole in my screen from playing too much castlevania lol.
You can use the wiimote controller witht he app. You MAY be able to use a PS3 controller, but you'd need a male to female usb connector to go from evo > usb adapter < ps3 controller.

I have the FPSE.apk (Playstation1 Emulator), way better than PSX4Droid IMHO and the SIXAXIS app that allows me to pair my PS3 controller with my Evo (AOSP ROM, SENSE doesn't support Bluetooth HID profiles ATM). PM me and I'll send it to you. Here's a link for you to see how it looks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4M_395yg0w
Is the SixAxis app compatible with the Note? The SixAxis Compatibility Checker force closes on mine. I don't actually have a SixAxis controller, but I'm planning to buy one if it works.
Also, which controller to buy? Will a Wireless PS2 Controller work? or just the PS3 Controller? How about an XBox Wireless Controller?
Another thing: how do you keep your notes "standing" in landscape? I saw several docks, but all of them are on portrait mode.
Thanks in advance guys~!
+1 for all question.
Sixaxis works great with my ps3 controller.
XBox360 Controller dont use bluetooth so they would not work.
Xbox Controller might work once ICS is out, using the OTG adapter.
Can u plug it on a high Def TV, use a joystick and play games?

Yes...Use Retroarch in market... Don't pay for the other PSX emulators when a free one works better/is more accurate...
Slimport adapter to TV...sixaxis controller app etc...
How this thing works...?
You need
1) Slim port to hdmi adapter (not same as MHL)
2) dualshock 3 controller with Sixaxis app (on Play Store) or other bluetooth controllers (Moga, etc)
Then any game that works with a joypad should be good to go. Emulators can be used to play older console games like the Playstation or Super Nintendo or N64 and such.
Plenty of guides out there, maybe even in a language you understand better, out there. Just Google it.

Hello,
I am so impressed by how well the Nexus 7 handles gaming specially N64 emulation that I want to use a game controller and it sems there are a few options.
Firstly, I am familiar with using a PS3 controller via the OTG cable unrooted and also with Sixaxis once rooted and the option to map the buttons for touch screen only games which looks brilliant.
My big hands prefer xbox controllers so I wondered what options there are for xbox controllers in a similar environment? I'd rather not use it wired but if that was the only drawback opposed to PS3 and Sixaxis then I'd live with it..
But what gamepad solutions are there for playing Android games and Retro emulators?
Thanks
The sixaxis is your best bet. I was in the exact same situation, wanted an Xbox controller but didn't want it wired. Problem with that is Microsoft uses 2.4ghz which the nexus 7 doesn't have built in. The sixaxis is Bluetooth so it connects fine and I've never had a problem with it on any device I've used it on as a gamepad.

It is unfortunate that the device needs to be rooted for sixaxis to work, right?
I have large hands as well, but I only have wireless Xbox controllers and when I tried using the wireless PC kit on a tablet (Cube U30GT with Android 4.1), it got recognized in the home screen, but no game was able to use it. I didn't want to purchase a cable Xbox controller just for use with Android. So I got a PS3 controller which works well as you described. I have no problem playing games with it (Dead Trigger, Shadow Gun, GTA, Max Payne, SNES Emulators so far). Playing older games with the PS3 controller is better than with an Xbox controller in my opinion, because the Xbox controller has a rubbish D-Pad, which SNES games use a lot. Remapping touch controls to the PS3 with Sixaxis Controller app is fairly good and easy, once you get the hang of it.
If you don't care about the cable and have one laying around, an Xbox 360 controller should work, at least I've seen a lot of people use one with their android devices.
There are a lot of custom controllers for android devices, most of which use bluetooth. But they are either more expansive than Xbox/PS3 or not very well built in my opinion.

Hello all,
I was thrilled to get Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter working with MAME4droid. However, I am looking to see if there is a 6 button controller similar to the Genesis and Sega Saturn controller that is fully compatible with the FireTV. Perhaps even with a few extra buttons for Start and Insert Coin. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
No controller is gonna be fully compatible, cause not all games support gamepads/controllers. Controllers will only work on games that support gamepads or emulators that support gamepads, and still not every controller is gonna work. I recommend the rock candy controller. If your emulator has keymaps you can program buttons as you wish. The biggest factor for me is that the Rock Candy controllers takes actual batteries, which means you don't have to charge the controller, if it goes dead just replace the batteries. Most controllers these days are rechargable, but I think a controller with replacable batteries is much better.
The controller does work on a lot of apps including most native Fire TV apps, work with Kodi, works with a lot of FPS games and most emulators.
