Is no one else having my problem of not being able to get Bluez IME to work and having a mouse being controlled by the inverted left stick axis when in Gamepad mode? This really makes the controller rather useless, I guess it works in emulators but in the PS1 Emulator I cant put L2/R2 on the right stick since that stick won't work in keyboard mode. And It makes all native android games completely unplayable with the gamepad as it won't work in gamepad mode and they expect a gamepad. I'm on 4.2.1 with the ZOPO C2. It would be really great if I could get this gamepad working properly, At first I thought it just wasn't compatible with 4.2, but then I realized many other people on here where using it on 4.2 with no problems.

I had a problem with this controller in practice while I used it, it was disconnected from my Nexus 4 and has been on, since I can not turn it off.

[General Accessories] zengraviz:

yeah it works like a charm

i cant belive this driver existed, man never thought someone would make bluez support for ipega.

this + gamekeyboard = rocks..

thanks man! Its really frustrating that some game dont work out of the box, but with this its aint problem at all!!

this should be placed in page one with proper tutorial, it is must for every ipega owner i say!

[General Accessories] Bad-Pixel:
Hello guys, I just got my ipega controller. I read lots of pages of this thread, but in the end i'm still confused. I'm able to pair the controller with my nexus 4, and using tincore app I'm able to set the controller's keys to work with games, but..... there are some problems:

1) tincore app recognize all the buttons, except for right analog stick (i know it's a common issue) but i didn't understand how to make it work

2) X Y A B buttons are recognized from tincore, but only the X key is recognized properly (like a single touch button). The other Y A B are recognized like a "Dpad" (I mean, if I press one of them, on the screen will appear a dpad number 2, like if I pressed the real dpad or the left analog stick. why? Do I need to set it with some other programs?

This controller is working well and it's not expensive, but I wish to use it totally. Maybe to avoid all this confusion to all, it would be good to update the first page and introduce a good guide, with how to manage it and which programs to use.

I hope someone can help me.

Thanks in advance :)
[General Accessories] Mahnn:
I'm still waiting for mine to arrive, but as far as I understand from what I've read around there: excluding some games that misbehave, you don't need a middle man app like tincore to use the controller (and these can in fact lead to extra latency). Did you try first setting the controller to keyboard or gamepad mode? Are you aware the controller has several modes that you can try?
[General Accessories] Svalfio:
I use that driver, too, but I have a bug that doesn't allow to push up-left on the d-pad at the same time. Do you have the same issue? I tried to PM Mozzytm, but he didn't answer to me °w°
[General Accessories] BaldMonk:
I just got the controller, and after figuring out how to do everything via bluez, I noticed top/left doesn't work in ipega pad HID mode... Must be an error in the code I guess, as it works fine in Keyboard HID mode.

I even tried chaging the keys that were assigned, but still had the issue. It's very odd.

I sent a PM to Mozzytm yesterday. Hopefully he can help us. :)
[General Accessories] spinal2k:
I have read at least 20 pages and i see people saying that there is lag and people saying i don't notice any lag. I wish to play snes games ( im tired of touch controls, specially when accessing L and R buttons ).

One simple question:

Does this controller has lag, in a way that you have to adapt yourself to the lag and predict 1/2 of a second before you actually take an action?
[General Accessories] BaldMonk:
Well, I've noticed lag on only one specific thing... When I was using HDMI out. I have no idea why... Maybe it launches an extra app or something to allow HDMI or something, but yeah, I had lag, and it was severe.

I'm not going to read through the other posts again, but perhaps those getting lag have other apps running? I literally only have Bluez running in order to have the controller recognized by my phone, but I see others have "Game-Keyboard" and whatnot running... Are those the same people experiencing lag?

Be aware that as of writing, when connecting via Bluez in joypad mode, pushing the left pad and up at the same time doesn't work. In keyboard it's fine, but you lose the functions of the right analouge stick, and the left stick has identical mapping to the pad.

I've only had mine for a few days, but that's all I've sussed so far. Was planning on having it hooked into my TV all the time, but with the lag caused by that, I guess not. ;)
[General Accessories] dhiku:
I'm using ipega + tincore and s4 connected to TV via Samsung MHL 2.0, so far no lag playing MC4 for almost an hour.

Right analog stick also worked well (you need to buy extra add-on analog stick output and map right analog stick to "move stick")
[General Accessories] s162000:
Thanks, you didn't need to install this Gametel app then? Sounds like the GTA issue is from a recent update, perhaps it will be fixed in the next update. Have you tried N64oid at all?

By the way I got mine from dx.com for £14.55 if anybody is interested.
[General Accessories] booleanbob:
The ipega works straight out of the box. You just need to pair it in the mode you want to use it in (gamepad, mouse, keyboard mode).
[General Accessories] s162000:
this things out of stock everywhere, none left at dx.com i cancelled my order, so ordered at Amazon even though it cost more, out of stock again. Anybody have any luck elsewhere?
[General Accessories] P0ll0L0c0:
N64oid worked great for me. On the Galaxy S3 with 4.11 - I had no need for the Gametel app. When you pair, just hold the leftmost button (X) while pressing home on the controller at the same time. Once you pair, it's totally painless. Next time you want to play, you just turn it on with the home button and it's ready to go.
[General Accessories] s162000:
Awesome, thanks for the update. Now to find somewhere that has stock left...

Received mine today

Blend the holder a bit, can fit note2 but not note, then i notice there still have a bit room to relocate the screws to fit note2,

going to work on it this weekend:fingers-crossed:

Without any driver, it cannot work with MC3/4, SG:DeadZone, GTA3

And With gametel, it works with nds4droid with 1/2~1/4s delay

I am not happy with this controller, all fps game i got dun work with this controller:(

Planning to call their office and ask for driver tmr then hope someone here can write a mapping app of it:good:
[General Accessories] s162000:
Which firmware are you running? Apparantly 4.1 and above resolves compatibility issues meaning it should work out of the box with no need for Gametel app?

help

Now it pairs but no connection and sometime it connects but disconnects after 3 seconds I have 4.1 I also try 2.3 and 4.0 any ideas?
[General Accessories] P0ll0L0c0:
Why are you using keyboard mode? Even for emulators I just use gamepad mode. It still allows me to map buttons.

In spite of all your complaining you havent said what phone you're using this with.

---------- Post added at 06:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 AM ----------

I'm guessing your complaint is based on not being able to play games that have only touchscreen controls? Because this thing can play almost all games written for a gamepad. Like Deadtrigger and Shadowgun.

Otherwise, if you are rooted there are apps that allow you to map touchscreen controls to physical buttons, but I am not familiar with them.
[General Accessories] ww999w:
Yes, you are right, but when i buy this, i was hoping to play all FPS games:silly:

Btw, I called their HongKong Office this afternoon but no one answer......

I will keep calling, and try ask them to create an app like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.archos.gamepadmappingtoolrk

[General Accessories] spinal2k:
I've used a USB controler over OTG and i had lag on hdmi too...

Without HDMI, playing directly on the tablet/phone screen, do you have any lag on the input?

cheers and thanks
[General Accessories] Mahnn:
From what I can gather around here and in other places, it seems the controller does not have lag, but the use of a third party driver/app (which you usually don't need) might introduce lag.

See for instance: http://boards.dingoonity.org/androi...s-bluetooth-3-0-controller/msg55865/#msg55865

This could explain why some are experiencing lag and some others not.

(I have ordered one recently, but it ships from Hong Kong and I'm based in Europe, so it's gonna take some time until I can confirm this is case)
[General Accessories] BaldMonk:
Ah, see, my phone is an old Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo... Needs all the juice it can get!

As I said, my right stick works fine in joypad mode (home+X)... But in keyboard mode (home+A) it doesn't.

Without HDMI I have literally no lag at all. I only use mine for emulators, but there's no input lag on emulators that push my old phone to the limit, like PSone, n64 and MAME.

---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

Anything except Bluez IME by the looks of things.

Of course, I imagine it depends on the speed of the phone/tablet being used too.
[General Accessories] dhiku:
I see, sorry I never tried that because with tincore I only need to pair it using joypad mode then tincore will do the rest e.g map any button to mouse, keyboard (all keys!), or even generic gamepad depends on the running app.

Anyone managed to get it to work with a Nexus 4 running 4.3?

I tried everything, and I can't get BluezIME to connect to the device so I can't map the keys...

Any ideas?
[General Accessories] Mahnn:
Did you try keyboard mode (home+A)?
[General Accessories] vallver:
I just tried... No luck either.

I first tried this:

Open BluezIME

Scan for the Gamepad (Home + A activated) --> it finds the pad but when I select it, the light continues to blink

Select iPega driver

Change input method to BluezIME

ERROR: bt socket connect failed

I also tried doing the same but pairing the pad beforehand through the Android settings (this time it works) but when I try to change mappings or change the input to BluezIME, I get the same error

I don't know what else to try...

I downloaded all versions of BluezIME I could find and still no luck

I just tried this.

I uninstalled BluezIME and then paired the Gamepad in Keyboard mode (this worked fine but then I couldn't control games with it - GTA Vice city in this case)

Then I tried installing BluezIME and I got the same error in this mode... It tries to connect to the pad but the same error comes up.

Try leaving a message to the developer of BluezIME there, he may not be aware of the issues with the latest versions of Android. Or contact DiegoBaeza or Mozzytm here on xda since it looks like they implemented support for Ipega on BluezIME.

[General Accessories] moglor:
Finally got it working!

After messing with the ipega controller all weekend, i finally found how to get it working on my HTC One V with Android 4.0.

First i went to the bluez IME google code page (well actually first i went to this forum, and then there): <could not post an outside link>https://code.google.com/p/android-bluez-ime/downloads/list

I downloaded all three items listed, but it still didn't work, but i think that the HID enabler may have helped. (just transfer with a usb cable. ES File explorer was used for the installation)

Next I went to the issues page: https://code.google.com/p/android-bluez-ime/issues/detail?id=220&q=ipega and near the bottom is a link to download "BluezIME-1.18-dev-06.apk". That version has ipega support.

To start the controller i ran bluez, turned on bluetooth, started the controller in gamepad mode (X button + Menu), picked ipega from the list (it mentions HID so thats why I think the HID enabler helped), and finally chose the bluez input item from the input list.

It worked great in nostalgia.nes and snes9x. I didn't see any button delay at all.
[General Accessories] Mahnn:
So, I played with it for a couple hours. Some thoughts:

- Perfect size (not too small, not too big) and very comfortable to hold.

- Superb quality for the price. Seriously, the buttons are and feel great.

- Not quite plug and play: my experience with RetroArch took several tries until I got it working. Everyone was reporting RetroArch to work on keyboard mode, but oddly enough I could only map the button on joystick (gamepad) mode, that is home+x. RetroArch also features an automatic detection of the gamepad which is said to support this controller, but I couldn't get that work either. Not a big deal though.

- Sonic CD and Sonic 1 work great on joystick/gamepad mode out of the box.

- 0 lag. There is absolutely, definitively, no lag with this controller. I'm rocking a Nexus 4 though, it's possible the story is different with older/slower phones.

Feel free to ask questions if you are still on the fence. I have barely started using it, and I haven't fiddled with BluezIME/GameKeyboard yet, but I'm already pretty sure I'm keeping mine.

[General Accessories] alec10094:
I got it working eventually on my ZOPO C2, but only in keyboard mode, and using Game Keyboard to remap the Hard Keys so it's like a gamepad (works fine in Vice City now). I still have no functionality of the right stick, and I still can't get Bluez IME to work (tried multiple versions), I just get the jsr82 error, I googled the error and found other people with the MTK6589 processor with the same problem, is there any possible fix for this?
[General Accessories] Mozzytm:
600 downloads and only 4 thanks? seriously :/ anyway... i've had a look at this up left problem people are mentioning and I cant see a definate issue in the code. i have a suspect line but it might be beyond my skill to fix (I think the binary for up and left in the code *might* be wrong) however this said ive not noticed the issue myself and cant really try till i get home (ill put zelda on or something that has 8 direction movement)

private static final byte[] DPAD_MAP = new byte[] {
1,	//up,	bit 0000001
3,	//up-right,	bit 0000011
2,	//right,	bit 0000010
6,	//right-down,	bit 0000110
4,	//down	bit 0000100
12,	//down-left	bit 0001100
8,	//left	bit 0001000
24	//left-up	bit 0011000
};

heres where i think the issue is in the code if anyone has the skillz to analyse im thinking the 24 is wrong (if there IS an issue)

not making any promises but if its a problem, and i get it fixed ill upload the fixed one in this thread

ok i think the 24 should read 9... ill try this when i get home... i did have the theory behind this typed out but i pressed the wrong button and cant be arsed to re type
[General Accessories] Mozzytm:

[General Accessories] Mozzytm:
right, im going to take a quick look at analog issues tonight... i honestly have never had an issue with these in both Fpse and N64oid but a couple of you have mentioned it. so, heres your chance... give me Emulator Name and Game where you cant use the analogs or map the analog buttons.
[General Accessories] fear92:
Hi I've posted the issue 239, as of now I see no problem with n64oid, running android 4.1 so my case might everyone's case, but I'd love to see ePSXe working with analogs, that would make bluezIME so much better than it already is, but as you've said there are no problems with fpse right? I might try that emulator so, how did you set it up?

by the way nice work Mozzytm you are doing great

try dx.com, they sell it fairly cheap and ship everywhere, but since it's free shipping as you know it'll take 1 month
[General Accessories] Mozzytm:
ah epsxe is £2.50 on playstore and im not buying an emulator i dont need... is there a free trial anywhere? ill put the FPSE steps up here when i get home (and test ape escape)

hey as long as I can get the analogs to work whatever emulator is fine, I'll gladly migrate to fpse if they work
[General Accessories] Mozzytm:
Hmm appears there IS a problem with analogs in fpse/epsxe. I was talking out my arse, i was using gamekeyboard to get them to work. Im not sure if i can hook them up natively but ill try
[General Accessories] MrDenisse:
Hi mate, would have any chance? operating the mtk mt6589 ipega with smartphones such as C2 eo Zopo ZP980 which is what I have?

Not sure if it the application that manages to connect bluetooth gamepad mode recognizes it as mouse and keyboard and I get the pointer on the screen and there is no way serve to play, or because the Bluez does not match the gamepad , or directly by being bluetooth version 4.0?

I've only got half putting it to work as a keyboard with A + home in PSX and SNES emulators unable to use the right stick.

The truth is that it is a chore because I like to play Dead Trigger, shadowgun, respawnables ... which is on reality for what I bought.

Can you provide a little help on this?

A similar question. How can I play with ipega in dead trigger and shadowzone?Have Acer Liquid E2 Duo with 4.2.2 stock. Mb Lewa or MIUI can change anythg?

If you do not use it as joystick does not work anything. In keypad mode, only the left skik and a pair of keys but they just do not as it should. With IME or nothing changes. Or does not change, and writes that he can not connect.

On my acer a500 4.1.2(TO) works perfect in SG Deathzone. Without anything. Just ipega and game.

Hello friends,

I've downloaded BluezIME and HID enabler. In BluezIME setting I've selected iPega Bluetooth Controller (HID) and in "Select device driver" I've selected Keyboard (HID).

Also in Select IME I've selected Bluez IME. Now a toast appear saying that it has connected to my bluetooth controller (used Home+X to connect).

Now left pad (navigation keys) are working fine in my phone but right four keys are not working.

Also when I try to play Asphalt 6, I am not able to use any of the gamepad key in the game.

Can somebody explain me how to use this wireless controller to play Asphalt 6 and other Xperia Play optimized games??

Thanks
