I have a Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 with Android 2.3.6 and can't get it work properly, neither with the bluezime full-mapping driver. The phone recognizes the controller and everything works (keymapped analogs, too) except for all the action keys (a-b-x-y-l-r-start-select), which give me an "unknown" if I try to map some emulators. Anyone can help me? Thank you very much :)
[General Accessories] dajavax:
turn on the controller while pressing the A button... then pair it again with the phone

Is it possible to map the right analog stick in Keyboard mode? Very few things work in Gamepad mode. I'm using a nexus 4 with 4.2.2. I have GameKeyboard, but the right analog sticks are not recognized. However, I know they work since I used them in Dead Trigger.

Hi guys. I have problems with iCade. I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 6.1. Jailbroken. And I installed Blutrol. Also I installed MD.emu. When I connect in iCade mode using standard iOS Bluetooth it is't work either in md.emu nor any iCade support games. I think the problem in blutrol and I deleted it, but it's still not working... What is the problem?

Just got mine's.. First test: its awfull on 4.2.2 and ios 6.1.. On ios 6.1 conecting as gamepad mode makes unusable the system(lags, freezes) blutrol only worked if conected as icade (right analog doesnt exist) on android 4.2.2 first of all it breaks wifi conection (why???) Also everytime I have to reconnect the ipega I must delete, totally unpair the device and search it again( is this normal?) .. gamekeyboard app should be able to map the right analog on future update! Please developer hear us!!
[General Accessories] gado45:
Also, left analog doesnt work properly on gamepad mode and mapping with gamekeyboard (is it 4.2.2 issue or just me?)
[General Accessories] GuInHoW:
Hi, i want to buy one of these to play emulators and some touch games like GTA, Modern Combat 3 and 4, NOVA, Real Racing 3.. It work with USB/BT Joystick Center 7? Or is there any other app that allow me to map the touch buttons to work on the gamepad? What about the battery, how many hours it lasts?
[General Accessories] gado45:
Battery life is OK.. IMO just spend more and get a moga.. Especially if you're on 4.2
[General Accessories] GuInHoW:
Thanks for the answer. I'm between this and ps3 dualshock + gameklip. MOGA only works with some games that support it or work with emulators and let me map touch actions?

EDIT: I just saw that MOGA Pro works with emulators, but didn't found any info about make it work with touch native games like real racing, max payne.. Do you guys know how to use moga with any game?
[General Accessories] gado45:
Some games are just incopatible with gamepads.. Not even remapping with gamekeyboard app so no matter wich controler you use you'll never make it work well..(EA games for example) Moga Pro is the best choice out there, you can use with "Universal driver" app for making work with emulators BUT I think these drivers uses bluez ime so if youre on 4.2 won't work
[General Accessories] GuInHoW:
Hmm.. thanks for the reply. I just saw around that the Moga Pro is incompatible with Universal driver as it already have the HID function trough an switch. Moga Pro is even better than the Ps3 dualshock + gameklip? I don't have a ps3 dualshock anymore (sold two with my old ps3). I have to buy it again. Moga pro is cheaper than dualshock + gameklip. I think I'll go for Moga Pro. I'm afraid that the developers leave the project behind and we stay with the actual supported games only.
[General Accessories] xxsoulxx:
Hi i have ordered one, hope it will work on 4.2, but i think it should with snes9x, even XBOX 360 Wireless and Logitech Precision are working with some minor fixes. :D
[General Accessories] jcabia:
My experience and a comparison Ipega vs Moga

Here is how it went for me. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S2 I777 (At&t version). As soon as i opened it it would't pair on any mode (I had slimbean 4.2.2 and AJK kernel), but it paired in keyboard and gamepad mode on my brother's Nexus 4, So I changed my rom and tried another 4.2.2 rom since that seemed to be the issue, so after that it paired in gamepad and keyboard mode but in keyboard mode the n64oid didn't recognize the right stick and snesoid could't map any key. In keybooard mode both worked flawless but not having a right stick and having the left stick as a d-pad wasn't an option. So I checked a thread in xda and downloaded an app called Bluez IME, Gamekeyboard and a driver that someone on xda made, but since bluez IME is not compatible with 4.2.2 i downgraded to 4.1.2 and managed to get it working only to realize that the issue was with the snesoid and the n64oid, so I went back to 4.2.2 and tried diferent emulators (Mupen64 and Supergnes) and both worked great in gamepad mode. So it was not an issue with the controller. It works flawlessly with these both emulators and also tried Dead Trigger and Shadowgun Deadzone and it performs very well.

I know lot of people wanting to buy this device are wondering if they should buy this or the MOGA Controller (I was one of them) and since my brother has the MOGA i'm showing a little chart comparing both of them in every aspect since I looked a lot for a comparison between these two and couldn't find anything. I'm not going to compare with the Gametel since the lack of analogs discards it for me, and the MOGA Pro just loses all the portablility, and for 50$ i'd rather buy a Dualshock 3 + Gameklip.

[A/B/X/Y buttons] Ipega: Very Solid, Perfect size MOGA: Kinda small and very clicky and loud Winner: Ipega

[Triggers] Ipega: Clicky and kinda cheap MOGA: Better grip and quieter Winner: MOGA

[Analogs] Ipega: Too stiff but gets the job done Moga: Very good, similar to the 3ds ones Winner: MOGA

[D-pad] Ipega: Very nice d-pad MOGA: No d-pad at all Winner: Ipega

[Clamp] Ipega: Seems cheap but holds the phone firmly MOGA: Better clamp but i hate having my phone tilted Winner: Tie

[Battery] Ipega: Rechargable internal battery MOGA: 2 AAA, not a big deal if u have rechargables Winner: Ipega

[Compatibility] Ipega: Compatible with most emulators but not with a lot of android games MOGA: the combination of the Pivot app and the universal moga driver makes it compatible with almost everything Winner: MOGA

Veredict: If you want a controller for retro gaming more than for android games you should go for the Ipega, and get the Moga in the opposite case

although both controllers can perform well in these two scenarios. I find them equally good and they cost basically the same, the best one depends on your interests.
[General Accessories] Mozzytm:
Get the mc4 helper from the market. It seems to trick games into thinking you have a moga

[General Accessories] GuInHoW:
I just decided to get a dualshock 3 controller + homemade gameklip (by myself). Here in Brazil it will cost around US$ 70 (Dualshock3 + shipping) and the gameklip i will make with pvc pipe that I already have so no costs. I will be cheaper than Moga Pro that I was planning to buy (99,99 dollars with shipping).And i'll get it within one week, the moga would take 5 to 7 weeks to arrive. I found that the dualshock3 + sixaxis app is the best gaming solution for android as it allow to map buttons with no lag, so you can play almost all games available on the playstore. When I finish my gameklip I post pictures here. I'm traveling and as soon as i get home I'll make it, maybe wednesday.

[General Accessories] fraggermcg:
Read this whole thread and still none the wiser about whether the pad will work on android 4.2.2. I have a Galaxy S2 running CM10.1 and dorimanx kernel. I can get the pad to be identified either as a mouse or keyboard and paired up, but when I click on it to connect it just says "connecting" for a minute or two then stops.

Should it say "connected" on my phone if everything's working? The orange light on the pad does the fast blinking before pairing and a longer blink once it's paired. But at the connecting stage after 30 secs or so the light has gone out. Don't know if it's just timing out?

It seems like the other solutions in this thread aren't applicable on 4.2.2 either, is that right? Thanks for any help before I chuck this in the bin!
[General Accessories] Xharos:
I have it at last but I can't make N64oid work properly, the right stick and the dpad can not be mapped (dpad can be mapped but after mapping it just won't work ingame)

I'm running a stock-based ROM (4.1.1) on my Galaxy S2.

Any ideas?
[General Accessories] orangekid:
Same happened to me, so I used a different Emulator.
[General Accessories] gado45:
For 4.2.2 this gamepad sucks.. Breaks wifi, you have to map everything with gamekeyboard, some games works with gamepad mode others on keyboard So you have to live switching profiles (and re-pairing BT ) MC4 helper won't work for fixing mapping issues.. Some games like (gta vc) apparently works fine BUT after playing it on moga found out that they have more actions like firing while driving holding left and right triggers, ipega is limited just to a key press..
[General Accessories] GuInHoW:
Well, after reading/watching a lot of reviews, I just bought a dualshock3 and made myself a gameklip with PVC pipe. I believe that on monday's next i'll have my gamepad fully functional and working. I spent around 70 dollars (Brazil have a lot of taxes).
[General Accessories] Xharos:
Yeah, Mupen, but it's not as compatible as N64oid... Majora's Mask has many graphical glitches for example. And the spanish translated Ocarina of Time ROM won't even boot :/

Also, is there any way to play GTA 3 with the gamepad?
[General Accessories] Xharos:
Please, can someone with Android 4.2.2 tell his experiencie? Having this gamepad is what makes me not to update my S2 to a AOKP ROM
[General Accessories] noonam3:
Do not update to 4.2.2 - bluez ime doesn't work, hid enabler doesn't work. I'm thinking about downgrading my nexus 4 to android 4.2.1 just to enjoy the most of ipega gamepad. On 4.2.2 I tried it and it works with gamekeyboard (succesfully, but with great amount of trouble i've configured it to work with GTA3 and Max Payne) and emulators - ePSXe, FPSE. Sadly I couldn't get it to work with Bard's Tale, which I remember (someone posted) worked on older androids than 4.2.2.

S4 working with Ipega and gamekeyboard

Bought this for my S4 running 4.2.2 and couldn't get it to work with Dead Trigger. It paired but only the shoulder buttons and the mouse pointer worked in mouse mode (B). Then I tried Mupen64 and after mapping the buttons in game (using keyboard mode X) I got it working with Goldeneye.

Then I played around with Bluez IME, sixaxis and Gametel apps to no avail. Nothing worked until I bit the bullet and bought Game Keyboard. And it works with Dead Trigger! Albeit I had to map the buttons in game but both analogues work now. I used keyboard mode X btw. So not a complete waste of money but certainly not user friendly to get it to work. I'm hoping that Ipega themselves will bring out an app to make this easier to use but I won't hold my breath.

Search around the thread, someone posted a pic with the keys used for every action in GTA. Then download HID enabler, Bluez IME, and in Bluez configure your key mapping to those keys, and save the profile. It works perfect!

[General Accessories] Qron:
For best experience in MC4 i suggest Bluez IME + HIDEnabler, Gamepad Enabler, and MC4 Helper. This set really do the trick.

Analog sticks works a way better than with touch emulation in GameKeyboard.

Nevertheless, after couple days of using this controller, I think that it was a bad choice to buy ipega instead of Moga.
[General Accessories] drklaw:
I couldn't get this to work with CM10.1. It worked fine while I was on CM9.1. Tried everything posted, then some. Finally sold it and got a Moga Pro. That works well with the Moga Universal Driver on M64 and RetroArch, at least. The analogs are much better on the Moga Pro.

No problem here using it with my Android TV stick running JB 4.2.2.

Try deleting the data and cache (if any) of Bluetooth Share, and any other BT services you have running on your phone. Also, reset your ipega controller: there's a small hole on the back - use a paper clip to insert into the hole to press the reset button.

[General Accessories] Qron:
In which mode are you trying to connect it? I suggest joystick mode (X+Home button).

You may also have to unpair controller before connection.

In worst scenario, you have uncompatible rom (some Android 4.2 based roms have problem to establish connection due to bluetooth driver alterations).

Hey, guys!

I've spend about 3 days reading all the posts and had tried many things, but just could not make my Ipega connect to my Motorola Razr D1 (XT918), android 4.1.2 JB.

The controller apears as "paired" in the mobile, but the "search" orange led in controller keeps blinking all time, that indicates the controller is not connected at all.

Any ideas?:eek:

Anyone knows if there's some kind of IME selection widget for android? If BluezIME isn't selected as input method the gamepad doesn't pair, and a widget or something would make everything faster :)

UPDATE: I found it! Its name is "Select Input Quick! Widget" and it's free.

Which firmware would be best? Cm ,Aokp ,PA,PAC ? or Sense 4.1 too?:confused:

And yeah, which apps should I buy/install to get this working?:confused:

GameKeyboard, Bluez IME and what else?

[General Accessories] Qron:
4.0.4 and 4.1.2 shouldn't be a problem, as for 4.2.2 there's no guarantee.

GameKeyboard is useful in games without gamepad support (also migh be useful in Gameloft games which support only certain gamepads), but since you prefer retro gaming instead of that I would suggest Gamepad Enabler which makes buttons mapping much easier, and does not require changing IME input.

Hey guys,

Bought an ipega from eBay, and when it works it's great. However, if I start to play a game such as tekken 3 in fpse or real racing 3, the pad will constantly turn off and I have to resync it.

I've chopped the battery out and got it running wired from a charger and still no joy. My plan was to fit a 2200mah battery from an old HTC hero to the back but as it's not working I'm wondering if I should bother.

Running on a HTC one, 4.1.2 android.

It seems to stay connected happily when not in use, only when I begin to play something...

How to use the Bluez IME with Gamekeyboard?

Can anyone here tell me how to use Bluez IME in Gamekeyboard? I have already installed the bluez ime and hid enabler, but i'm still confused on how to use it with GameKeyboard.
[General Accessories] grained:
well I've just got his today and works great, took some time to figure out how to change its configurations, it seems you have to do it when its off, press the button of the mode and the home button until you get the blinking light and then re-pair with the phone again for it to work.

however it doesn't work with everything, I only got it working with the snes emulator, tried it with other games from playstore like metal slug, alter ego and stealth bastard and some modes work to move but buttons don't other the buttons aren't mapped properly and the games itself don't allow to remap anything.

this is not a good for all games solution but so far emulator works great in keyboard mode.
