Right, in my opinion the d pad is ok. Not perfect (playing Dino Crisis on psx for example I easiest able to push up and right to run and turn but could press up and left, it registered as either left or up, not both at the same time. Face buttons are fantastic but can click fairly loud. Shoulder buttons also click and are fine but prolonged pressing could become uncomfortable due to the shape of the controller. The analog sticks seem to be polarising opinion. They do take getting used to and certainly can feel stiff at first but I can say after a couple of hours of Super Mario 64 the controllers loosened to a more manageable level. I get on great with the sticks now and while they're certainly nowhere near as accurate as a dual shock as they're sliders like the psp rather than full sticks like console controllers, they're still very good for the price. It was a royal pain for me to set the thing up but now I've managed it it's more than paid off. A good solid control pad with a decent battery life, fairly well made and a very sturdy phone holder mechanism. Will probably be succeeded by better controllers soon but for the price I'd say it's more than worth it. I'm waiting to see how the Samsung controller pans out but for now this is really good for what you're paying!
[General Accessories] Svalfio:
Thank you very much to Muzzytm for his build, it was very helpful (the analog are d-padded, but the fact that they works means that they aren't broken, at least, and maybe we will have full analog support ^^ ). Anyway, did someone get it work on Windows? I just can't pair it, is that even possible?
[General Accessories] Mozzytm:
The analogs are an oddity. Even though bluez configures them as keypresses they actually work as full analog in n64oid ( for example) i tested it by getting mario to creep around
[General Accessories] Svalfio:
I didn't test it much, so I can say it, but if I connect it outside Bluez it works just like a regular gamepad with the analogs that doesn't work, so the first thing I presumed is that you setted them as keys... And I'm talking like an idiot, sorry ^^'

Anyway, what do you say? Is there a chance for a Windows connection?
[General Accessories] Esoth:
Mozzytm: I figured out why Bluezime doesn't work with Android 4.2+. Here's an extract from the Android Developer site:

New Bluetooth stack

Android 4.2 introduces a new Bluetooth stack optimized for use with Android devices. The new Bluetooth stack developed in collaboration between Google and Broadcom replaces the stack based on BlueZ and provides improved compatibility and reliability.

That would explain it - bluez got changed to Broadcom. It's a shame, really, because your BluezIME driver sounds amazing. Oh well, I'll let you guys know if I find an alternative :D
[General Accessories] Rahabib:
update: answered my own questions

I received my controller last night. Here are my notes. I only played with it for about an hour.

My phone:

Galaxy Nexus 4.2.2

NOT rooted

no special drivers etc. just turn on bluetooth and connect (hold A and Home to connect as keyboard)

I have a case on my phone and it barely fits. I have to slide it in from the side, but it does fit.

Retroarch:

pair as gamepad and use icontrol settings in retroarch doesnt seem to work.

pair as keyboard with auto detect input did not work as well, you have to uncheck it and then set the keys manually.

For retroarch (and same results in nesoid and snesoid):

In keyboard mode I could not get the right stick to work as emulated, but as others state I think it only works in mouse mode (not tested)

The left stick works as the dpad (you dont need to set it). It feels wierd but it works. I played a bit of Street fighter 2 and did perform a few fireballs but dragon punches are a bit hard to pull off both with the dpad and the left stick.

There is no noticeable lag. If there is lag, its very minute.

I have not tried any of the native android games like vice city or anything, but anything that can use a keyboard input I assume would work with this gamepad. Overall, not bad for $35.
[General Accessories] assassin2k:
Haha yes! I noticed this too. Was pleasantly surprised when it worked as an analog. It's not perfect as control is 8 directional rather than true analog but the analog in the amount of direction is good.
[General Accessories] jonnyhardaker:
Struggling to get the buttons working in GTA 3. Both analogue sticks work great but none of the buttons register. I'm paired in gamepad mode. I have tried both normal connection & bluezime (with hid addon) but no joy! Any ideas?

As far as other games go I got Riptide & Beach Buggy Blitz working through gamepad mode & bluezime but manually had to set buttons in game. Normal mode without bluezime didn't work.

Shadowgun & Dead Trigger both work as gamepad in normal mode but don't work in bluezime. Again I had to manually assign buttons.

Couldn't get sonic 4 ep1 or ep2 to work in any mode.

Finally retroarch works if in keyboard mode with bluezime but had to manually assign buttons.

I'm using a htc one x.

Would be great if we could combine a working /non working list in this thread. Anyone got anything else they can add?

[General Accessories] spike378:
confirm this works with retroarch. On Nexus 4. I also notice I only connected it as joystick once but cant do it again. keyboard modes work fine tho. Now have to figure how to fix crackle sounds
[General Accessories] gabrielgagz:
Thanks alot!!!! Working fully on emulators and some games (cordy, VT4, bang bang racing) but for some reasons games like shadowgun and asphalt 7 does not works well...shadowgun only recognize dpad, and asphalt 7 nothing...any clue? Thanks!!!
[General Accessories] jonnyhardaker:
Shadowgun needs connecting in normal android mode (ie no bluezime) then go to option & configure gamepad under controls. There you can manually map the buttons to your pad. Incidentally this is the same for Dead Trigger.

Asphalt isn't set to allow pads my default like most games. You have to manually map the buttons to screen touches, one of the earlier pages suggests good apps.

GTA uses buttons 1234567890 of most actions (other than the next wep/prev wep and free look JKLI)

i did have it all set up but i deleted my profile trying different tweaks to the driver. theres a full list if you google "wiimote gta android". the only one i can remember off the top of my head is 7 is target, i usually map this to the right bumper.

--edit (why cant i leave things alone :P )--

added controll map for gta

oh and for other games, modern combat 4 seems to work via bluez (appart from freelook), to remedy this i use gamekeyboard and only map the right stick to touch actions.

Hey guys, just got my Ipega but won't be able to test it until tonight. For mapping apps do i need Bluezime or GameKeyboard or both? I'm using Nexus 4 on CM10.1

Also mine did not ship without a manual, how dodgy. I was so confused because i couldn't set it to Joystick mode. Can someone provide me with a scan? Alternatively just brief me on what i need to know?
[General Accessories] assassin2k:
Page 12. Download the bluez ime final apk and install. Also install hid enabler. Open bluez ime and connect pressing home and x. Select ipega (hid). Open fpse and map the buttons in configuration. The analogs don't work but face and shoulder buttons will. Hide the on screen buttons and you should be good to go.
[General Accessories] Mozzytm:
Manual Scan attached, oh and id get both apps if you need bluez cm 10 should connect natively tho

Ipega bluetooth joypad issue

I have set this joy pad up as a keyboard in error when first pairing with the galaxy S3 by holding down the a button whilst pressing home. I now have the problem of not being able to use it in joy pad mode. Can anyone out there advise what I need to do or if this can be changed. I do not want to flash the phone or do a factory reset. I was thinking to try and delete the Bluetooth profile for the device but am yet to find the location of the profiles within android. Does anyone have an alternative way to sort this issue out?

I have already unpaired the device but as soon as I try and pair it again in joy pad mode by holding X and pressing the home button it gets picked up in keyboard mode by the phone

I have also tried resetting the pad whilst it is connected by using a pin at the back of the pad. This is driving me nuts. the joypad look like it would work brilliantly with the emulators and games I have.

Any ideas. All help appreciated.

thanks PPl

[General Accessories] Mozzytm:
This is generally nothing to worry about. on my own phone in anything other than mouse mode it is detected as a "keyboard". on newer versions of android it gets the gamepad icon but i can certainly say in 4.0.4 it has a keyboard icon.
[General Accessories] assassin2k:
I can map them in options and it recognises them but whenever I play a game they don't work....and I have no idea why :( epsxe is the same. I even tried contacting their support. It's annoying because playing gt2 with the d pad is horrendous. Do you have any ideas what I'm doing wrong or need to change? I have tried using the touch screen and hardware keys options but neither work in game. I also have the on screen keys hidden as I don't like seeing them while playing.
[General Accessories] Mozzytm:
With epsxe its probably because there were only a handfull of games that supported dual analog. Ape escape is one that i know of. You then need to change your controller type to analog in epsxe settings. In gta 3 and n64oid, they "just work".
[General Accessories] Youngers Plat-k:
This device looks nice! :o
[General Accessories] assassin2k:
Right but I still can't get fpse to work with dual analog. Only recognises in the settings :'( maybe I need to have another go and see if I'm doing anything wrong. Admittedly I've only tried c3 racing / max power racing. Do some games not support analog in fpse then? As the original psone game did.

Edit: what settings did you use? E.g. did you enable or disabled external gamepad miscellaneous menu? And did you disable or select other gamepad in gamepad settings? I presume you commented through bluez first? When I connect through bluez and map buttons to hardware keys it lets me map left and right stick to left and right stick directions but when I go in game it doesn't respond. It's really odd....when I glad to a menu while in game it still lets me map buttons to the sticks but when I go back to the game it doesn't work again. I have it set to analog mode. I could scream!
[General Accessories] GuitarXxX:
Galaxy S3

In my Galaxy S3 (4.1.2 stock) in the "joystick mode" worked SuperGnes and N64oid.

I don't know why but after some time the dpad stopped working on N64oid and only the left analog stick still working (the other buttons are ok).

No matter how many times I configure the dpad in the n64oid, it dont recognize any more.

In the SuperGnes still perfect.

The result was the same that using the keyboard mode in this 2 emulators.

The difference is that in keyboard mode the dpad and analog stick are recognized in n64oid (but they do the same movement).

In the both emulators you have to manually configure the buttons.

In the joystick mode I tried the Virtual Tennis but did't work.

The game only recognize the dpad and move the character but the other buttons didn't work.

Only worked when I use BluezIme version from page 12, but using this method is very confusing for me.

Riptide worked perfect with joystick mode.

When I'm home I'll try the GTA Vice City with joystick mode.

It's sucks have to change all the configuration when you change the game. :(

This HID of Ipega will be added to the playstore version of BluezIme?
[General Accessories] Mozzytm:
Just tried it again with resident evil 2 (dual shock ed) and its fine. Are you sure the games you are trying are dual shock compatible? Otherwise its like trying to play metal gear with a guncon. The dual shock pad with analogs didnt come out untill quite a while after the ps, consequently not every game supports it
[General Accessories] Ujif85:
Tell someone tried this gamepad connected to the emulator PPSSPP? How to do it?

Question two: What does the right grip?
[General Accessories] Mozzytm:
Ive never managed to get a game runnong through ppsspp but i imagine you just need to map keys as normall
[General Accessories] assassin2k:
Yeah I know that quite a few games don't support it, but all the games I've tried do, as I've checked in the options menu. I guess I'll just have to accept it as an oddity. I'm in discussion with the epsxe team so hopefully they will be able to help fix it. As for fpse.....no idea as it recognises the sticks in options for fpse but they don't work in game. I'm just so frustrated I've given up on it and been playing n64oid recently.
[General Accessories] RogueMoon:
Very frustrated with this and RetroArch and would appreciate it if someone could help.

Running on 2.3.4 I was able to connect with Bluez (tried both versions from page 11,12), I tried keyboard and ipega drivers and connected via keyboard (A+Home) and joystick mode (X+Home) on the controller.

With both modes I am able to connect and then configure the buttons in RetroArch (in custom binds it detects the presses), the controller is working as I'm able to move up and down in various apps.

However, when starting a game (I'm using PCSX core) none of the buttons seem to work, I'm unable to start the game by pressing "start" no matter what I do.

*banging head on desk*

Edit: everything works fine in SuperGNES (Joystick mode, ipega driver/profile).

Update. I received my replacement from Amazon today. Plugged it in, and this one works. I noticed that this unit was a different shade of black, more of a grayish black. The first unit was jet black. The replacement had protective film covering it to. I don't remember the 1st one having that. I think there has been some discussion about the jet black ones not working or possibly being counterfeit. Both units came in unopened oem samsung boxes. At any rate for whatever reason this one works and the first one didn't. Over all I'm impressed with the performance of the device. I haven't noticed any lag or sound issues. Just thought I'd let everyone know my experience.

I'm running Jedi X6 rom.

I am running into the exact same problems you originally ran into. I too bought them off Amazon. I have now bought two from two different sellers and still no go. First time I got it from Express GIFT and second time I got it from Accessory 4G. The model numbers for both were EPL-3FHUBEGSTD. Mine is jet black. I am running the official jelly bean 4.1.1 from AT&T.

What is the exact model number of the one you have working? What seller did you get yours from? What carrier are you with?

Thanks for the help. I've probably experimented with three different phones, at least five different TVs all with their own HDMI cable, and three different chargers. Any information would help. Thanks!
