how to Use PS3 Controller for Android game play full guide


Recently, a very interesting app named Sixaxis Controller has been released in the Android Market that allows PS3 Controller With Android To Play Games that allows the key binding such as the emulators PSX4Droid etc. However, Sixaxis Controller is not compatible with every device in particular there are some Droid and Samsung Android mobile devices that are not compatible. This is because application uses a special Bluetooth protocol to do its magic and its not available in all ROMs. You can use the Sixaxis Compatibility Checker to confirm that if your device is compatible with the app or not before purchasing it to use the PS3 Controller With Android To Play Games.



Here are the instructions (provided by the developer) about the use of the Sixaxis Controller App

Download the ‘Sixaxis Compatibility Checker’ app to make sure your phone is compatible before purchasing the full application.
Tap the ‘start’ button and wait for bluetooth to initiate. If you get an ‘Error: Missing required protocol’ message, your device is not supported.
If not already done, you must manually pair the controller with your phone. This can be done using ‘SixaxisPairTool’, or with ‘MotionInJoy’ or the linux utility ‘sixpair’. Your phones bluetooth address should be shown at the bottom of the main application window and will look something like 1A:3C:13:00:21:C2; you need to enter this number into the ‘SixaxisPairTool’ as shown. This process only needs to be done the first time a controller is used on a different device, so if you only use the controller on one phone, you will only need to do it once.
Once paired, unplug the USB cable and press the power button on the controller. If successful, the lights on the controller will stop blinking and a single light will remain on.
If you are running the compatibility checker, and pressing buttons on the controller results in button presses showing up in the app, congratulations, you can now download the full app.
Tap the ‘Change Input Method’ button and select ‘Sixaxis Controller’. You should now be able to use the controller in any games or applications that support key bindings, such as many emulators.
Subsequent controllers can be added at any time by pressing their power buttons.
You can change the fallback input method and key mappings in the applications settings.
Here is demo video showing the Sixaxis Controller App in action!
