Well, for what it's worth, I haven't been able to figure it out either.

We could just contact the dev. As much as I enjoy helping people out with videos, I can't quite make the statement that I know the application as well as the developers themselves do :p

BTW, it flat out isn't working in Aralon. Can't figure out what causes this, but it's simply like that in some games.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] rubbergnome:
well, that's a nightmare. Do you mean you can setup every button, but it doesn't detect inputs? did you try to use "swipes" instead of presses? :S
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Jordanooo:
Ive also noticed games where mapping just doesnt work at all

Not sure what causes it though
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] rubbergnome:
i tried, and i noticed that only the circle button actually works, regardless of which input you give it. it doesn't seem to emulate swipe action, though. when the 0.2 xdarkics comes out i think, i'll give that one a try with joystick center... someone wrote it lags, but i dunno what rom he tried it on. heh.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] brsingr:
What is this joystick center app? I've looked on the play store and cant find anything.

Hello frienda, I had downloaded this usefull on my Xperia Pro.

But I couldnt use my Qwerty to control Fifa 12 & 9MM.

Can someone plzz help me out?? Thnx!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Looks like it got another epic update today with a emulate analog option. Ugh.... I need my internets back so I can do video coverage
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Jordanooo:
Haha, i have no idea how to get that working :s

Ill be waiting for your video :)

I don't think this update is all that good for Xperia Play just yet, but its half of the battle to future proof the Xperia Play. Got this update earlier and have been playing about on our Xperia S and tab.

Check out our article to see why - Only usefull for touchscreen device's http://www.xperiagamer.com/Blog3/any-onlive-game-playable-on-touchscreen.html

F*ck why does this not work?? I can only use D-pad!

I remapped buttons but when i press them nothing happens. [A,B,X,Y}

Xperia pro is very smilair to the Play.

Well this worked for me, so is on my pals mini pro. Currently using this keyboard to play Inotia 4
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] brsingr:
Dang...I love this app....its perfect for.destinia, after I made some changes to the layout from the pre built one....if anyone, like the guy who originally put it together, wants to look at it, let me know...pretty much all I did was map each of the skills to a button including the tray changer.

And I showed the keyboard just for the screenshot, I normalky have it hidden and it works just fine
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rene_ajax:
holy crap ! Even works on mini pro??!!

Can u try Fifa plz
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Magelix:
Hi,gamekeyboard is not working for me i did everything right and the button shows but when i press the hardkey on my xplay nothing happen and i press menu button it doesn't show again please help
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] cyraxx84:
In a Game Press the home button till you see the recent apps and if you used gamekeyboard before you start playing it must be there, tap on the app.

So now tap the function that brings the gamekeyboard up after exit, and after that you are back in your game with a opened gamekeyboard.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Magelix:
Thank you it worked (:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] chery2k:
Anybody have a Game Keyboard layout for the Xperia Play? I downloaded the recent Game Keyboard app from the market to find out the layout is not preconfigured for the Play and I watched tutorial how to configure it but the tutorial only showed how to remap 2 buttons. With the latest Game Keyboard update it turns out I need to remap every single hard key from scratch. I need the traditional Ps1 controls on the Game keyboardd layout. =/

Edit: Nvm I figured it out. =p
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Legoman2:
has anyone been able to get the swiping motion working?

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
So it's no secret that hosting my GKP database on the forums has been a total wreck.

Between all the phpBB flooding nonsense, downtime and someone that straight-up figured out how to delete MY topic on my own forum, you may notice that the forums no longer exist :) (and have been replaced by DISQUS threads) this also means that GameKeyboard's GKP database needs a new home.

I'll try to avoid being loquacious and just say that all GKP pre-configs can be found here now:

Out of pure noobness on my part...I want to make a Destinia macro for the attack button so that I can hold the button down and it will act like it is being pressed 3 or more times (rapidfire I guess)...however, the macro making is really confusing.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
I personally have not been able to figure macros out... however I just checked out the developer's page and he's got a guide up for them. https://sites.google.com/site/gamekeybd/#macro
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] brsingr:
Thanks for the link...even with the guide its still confusing lol
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Just got a very, very special email from LocNet... some pretty epic stuff is about to go down!!!! :D

You are correct, sir!!!

That is great news for Xperia Play all gamers rejoice :) knew it was a matter or time after he started to mess around with native analog support and bits like that.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] UndisputedGuy:
Maybe it's just me wondering this, but how did you get your play running so smooth?

(Sorry for off topic)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Yep, this is wonderful news! LocNet's already sent me an updated BETA as well which I'm sure will have resolved the problem.

Umm... I didn't do anything special. It's just straight-up 2.3.4 stock (obtained from thatsupnow)... only thing I did was zergrush root it and debloat.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] drivenby:

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] daksha303:
Bought it now,waiting for this update! Dreaming of MAME with analogs! :P

Inviato dal mio R800i
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] LordBattleBeard:
Just wondering; has the developer of this app stopped being a douchehole and no longer employing dirty tricks to break compatibility with apps in competition to his? I ask because I won't support a dev who does this.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Xperia Player:
Is this available yet?

If so how much and will it be able to map android games & emulator game buttons to the touch pads? Like N64 C buttons to right touch pad and N64 analog joy stick to left tough pad??
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] scottmog:
guess I jumped the gun, this analog isn't available yet huh?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] chery2k:
Correct. If you watched the youtube video it is still in beta phases.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Legoman2:
Can anyone post a setup for paper monsters? Every time I set it up, I can only jump.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
The update's out on store yay :):):):)

EDIT- Tried it out with Crash Course and it works really well. Had a little glitch on right pad for 5 secs (was moving by itself) but its still beta and apart from that it is F**king perfect. Live long Xperia Play as Now every game on Android is fully Xperia Play Optimized (without need of a slow ICS rom). Who can say the Xperia Play is dead when this is just the beginning ha ha ha!! :):):)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] drivenby:
holy cow! thanks for letting us know

*rushes to the market*

How can anyone claim this is the end of the XP when its much better than last year..... i dont get people

edit : tried it with chaos rings.... AND IT WORKS!!!! :DDD

To set it up , besides all the old stuff , you need to enable "Advanced input" on the options and then "Analogue" (right below that one) . You also need to have an onscreen analogue (which is not used in the default xperia play preconfig)

My issues are :

1) it doesn work like a real analogue. When i use the touchpad it moves , but when i stop using it , it does not reset to a neutral position , like a true analogue does.

2) it doesnt register the face buttons if you are using the touchpad... So i need to stop moving to use the x, square , etc.

Im sure this issues will be fixed promptly .

edit : problem n2 seems to be intrinsic to chaos rings , since eternity warrior registers both inputs at the same times. Analogue still doesnt return to neutral position.

edit : even with the broken controls i was still able to clear a level of eternity warriors 2 i never could finish... on my first try.... LOL touchscreen gaming
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] LordBattleBeard:
Damn, now I have to buy something else.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] rubbergnome:
yea, i played chaos rings on itouch and if i'm not mistaken it doesn't register inputs if you are moving.... maybe.

anyway i tried with aralon and OMG, it works!!! but of course the analog misfunction of not resetting itself makes the game almost unplayable, for now. also sometimes it stops to work and i've got to make gamekeyboard pop up again, but again aralon didn't function with the app AT ALL before the update, where they said they fixed that thing about some games just not working with the app.

when they fix the analogs... we're in for a treat, guys. gotta emal them right away
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] scottmog:
I'm screwing something up since it's not working with n64oid....

quick play

xperia play bottom choice

add analog sticks to be shown and pulled them down to where my c stick and normal stick is at for n64oid
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
I'd actually already determined this and notified LocNet before the release of 3.0.0. They were waiting on me to return a touchpad log so they could diagnose and fix the issue.

I do hope everyone's rewarding their efforts by paying for this app, I've been wow'ed ten times over seeing all the progress LocNet's made without owning an Xperia Play to test on. Didn't even seem like an hour since I sent that activity log before I had a beta in my email where the analog issue was fixed :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] shocito:
I bought this app time ago but I haven't tested it until today.... and it's really fantastic!

The controls in 'Rayman Jungle Run' work excelent!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] daksha303:
With Mame4droid I'm having some problems :(

Had to remap the Dpad UP, Down, Left, Right. If I don't, as switching on "Advanced Controls" to get working analogs, the 4 directional arrows are screwed. No way to use start button :(

If I set invisible controls, nothing works anymore. But this is shure a Mame's problem.

Anyone tried with other Mame as Tiger, Jironi or Mame4droid Advanced?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] leots:
Can someone help me please? I just bought GameKeyboard (v3.0) but when I enable the hardware key to touchscreen mapping and I give it root permissions it just force closes every time I open it. I tried clearing its data, reinstalling... I'm out of ideas :(
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] drivenby:
locnet just sent me the newest beta and it's working even better than before ;D

analogs are working perfectly. I'm sure the update will be released on the market soon

edit ; Leo what kernel and what rom? . have you tried using it without advanced options first?.

If you enble analogue before advanced that also causes crashes.. anyways try emailing locnet
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] leots:
I'm using True Ancestor rom and Lupus v5 kernel. Before I enable the Advanced options it works. It force closes after it receives root access. Anyway, I'll try emailing the developer, thanks!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] brsingr:
Hmm, I like the touchpad update (just have to find some games that can use it effectively lol). However, one of my big questions is the macro system....

Truthfully, I would rather be able to make a macro based on the key presses instead of attempting to figure out how the current system works.

Ex. In Destinia, I use a couple skill combos that, when going against hard to kill enemies, does huge damage, but in order for it to work I need to press 2+ buttons after each skill has run through its cycle....it would be really simple to make the macros to record keypresses and how long there is between keypresses.

Ex2. Also in Destinia, just basic attack chains require the attack button to be tapped/pressed 3+ times in a row quickly, normally within .5 seconds of each tap/press. I would love to be able to just press the button once or even hold it, and still get the same effect.

True, that's how it currently is, but with very little on HOW to actually make use of the macros, the system just isn't that useful. Also, once a macro is setup (if one is even bothered to set one up), it is really confusing to get it to work.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] maddog00:
Bah. I can't get it to work. On stock 2.3.3.

I've followed TLR's instructions and it's not working. It's seems like the hardware buttons are not getting picked up by the onscreen controls. It has root access so I'm not sure where it's going wrong.

And unfortunately, I can't play Cthulhu with it as the app crashes when I try and pop the onscreen controls out for it.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] drivenby:
I can confirm that cthulhu works using the "show gk after pressing here" method

works with touch pad, dpad is currently buggy
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] daksha303:
Update with analog fix is out now.

I managed Mame4droid to work with it.

I LOVE ARCADES THIS WAY !!!!!!!!!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] game_guy:
Just bought this today, just for the analog support thing. I've been trying to get it setup properly for Final Fantasy III, could anyone help me out with some settings?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] rubbergnome:
guys... c'mon. nobody mentioned Aralon yet. I'm playing it with this app... it's amazing ;P
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Si1ver Shad0w:
Tried using it with Mass Effect, but it causes huge lag in the game, even leading to freezing/crashes. Any suggestions?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] chery2k:
Thats normal. Gamekeyboard does lag for certain games.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] daksha303:
Tried some o.c. ?

Inviato dal mio R800i
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Si1ver Shad0w:
Supercharged and oveclocked at 1.5 GHz (higher frequencies make the phone unstable). I have the impression that it's more due to lack of free RAM than of lack of processor power.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] daksha303:
Yeah, could be.:(

Inviato dal mio R800i
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] rubbergnome:
I'm sure it's lack of RAM. Aralon made gamekeyboard crash before I used tools like auto memory optimizer to give hidden applications all the ram I could. Also try lowering graphics settings.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] LordBattleBeard:
Bought this recently and have it working on N64oid and Rayman Jungle Run.

But as mentioned, utterly useless on ram hungry games because the controls will lag behind.

It's a powerful tool with lots of ability and tweaks for compatibility but let down by poor UX. Would recommend to those with the patience to get past the steep learning curve.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] rubbergnome:
Can you use it on N64oid without showing the analog stick onscreen?

by the way, you can just tweak your ram settings favoring gamekeyboard and games when you're gonna play.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] LordBattleBeard:
Pretty much. You can set N64oid to display the onscreen controls at 0% transparency. It still shows a very faint outline but its hardly noticeable.

I already use RAM Manager Pro and don't particularly want to be running multiple tools to optimise the same thing. Hard gaming mode helps a bit.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ILikeTheWayYouMove2:
just have to say this is amazing using 3.0.1 its not perfect but near it! can people say what games they have managed to use this with I've used it with aralon only so far because playing that with xperia play controls is to addicting hats off to the development and tlr theory for showing me =)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Si1ver Shad0w:
How exactly can I do that?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] rubbergnome:
well, I use auto memory manager to give "hidden applications" 250 mb of ram. Also you can use it to give maximum priority to gamekeyboard (always keep alive), and it should be fine. You can also freeze some useless services, temporarly disable your typing keyboard, slightly lower your game graphics settings, use ram manager pro and stuff like that,
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
The GameKeyboard page on XperiaPlayGamer has been re-done.

I've been batting this design concept around for a while and finally got a little time to put into it. It's made to favor sheer simplicity such that any user should be able to just click the image of the game they want to play, and get the GKP configuration where it's readily available to import.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] :
Looks much better!

I was just thinking, you should release a gamekeyboard gkp app.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
lol I'd actually like to create a Customizable Game Launcher App that would be quick-linked into XperiaPlayGamer's database... but I don't really have experience coding for anything but PC and web platforms.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] brsingr:
Before I send an email to the dev, I though I would ask herw first. The problem I'm having is that when trying to use my destinia.gkp, for some reason I have to remap all the keys.....but the problem is when I press left on the dpad the app thinka I'm pressing up. All the dpad keys are pretty much rotated by 90° counterclockwise. Is this just me (running on COLA rom) or has anyone else had this issue?

I had attempted to use the Aralon sword and shadow gkp....but I dont think that would have caused it...especially when the ScareSoul gkp works fine....I'm mainly wanting to get my Destinia gkp working properly again....I think I already have it on this thread somewhere incase anyone wanta to download the gkp and try it(I didn't make any changes since I put it up from that post).

I've messed with the options at the bottom of the settings for key detection and joystick issues but they don't do anything.

The one thing I did notice is that when I'm remapping the hardkeys, they show a * next to them...

EDIT: Figured out that "Detect alternate key press" was what was causing the problem.
