I bought a Nyko playpad pro and updated the firmware to work with Fire TV. The controller charged easily and paired without a problem.

I notice, however, that L2 and R2 are not recognized by Fire TV. Can someone share their experience?

Thanks in advance.

Heads up: GameStop's Red Samurai controller is on sale right now for $8. Haven't tried personally yet, but I've seen quite a few posts where people seem to be having a lot of success on their Fire TVs. Probably going to try and pick one up after work.

[Fire TV General] thrashman69:
I bought this and now I'm returning it lol. Not that useful to me with it not being able to play native games correctly. Trying playpad pro next
[Fire TV General] nufclad:
Ps4 never pairs. So annoying. I've had two different fire TVs and neither of them managed to pair. I have no idea why!
[Fire TV General] thrashman69:
Nyko playpad pro works great with firetv. Good build quality. Only 12.99 at gamestop.
[Fire TV General] TheBigDogz:
Did L2 and R2 work for you?
[Fire TV General] Hot-Rod:
Wishful thinking

If only I could find one controller that had Apple's new MFi game controller framework so I could play the latest iOS games, but will also play snes9x on jailbroken ipad/iPhone 6 plus AND play emulators on Amazon FireTV... I'd pay any amount for such a controller
[Fire TV General] thrashman69:
I believe so. Minecraft works.

Multiplayer Game Controllers

I think this got asked a few pages back but I can't find the answer: what Fire TV game controllers allow two/multiplayer option? I nearly pulled the trigger on two Nyko Playpad Pros but that read somewhere that they can't be used simultaneously. Ideally I would like two of the wireless options (maybe Logitech F710) but don't know which allow multiplayer. With regard to the F710 one idea I had was to sync one through bluetooth and the other through the USB dongle - I wonder if that would work (or if it's necessary)?

Thanks very much for any help, Leedsgreen
[Fire TV General] eastbayarb:
Leedsgreen,

What kind of games are you wanting to play 2-player? Emulators (I haven't read any threads about emulators on the AFTV. I personally use a Moga Pro that works great.
[Fire TV General] xm41907:
The F710 doesn't connect through BT, at least the one I have that is several years old doesn't. Maybe I missed something regarding new ones. I have the F710 and an Ouya controller and can get some two player games working. I'm considering getting a second Ouya controller as I like it better than the F710, although the Ouya controller doesn't work well with Mindcraft whereas the f710 works flawlessly.
[Fire TV General] lolwatpear:
Would a ps3 controller be decent for that? isn't there a jailbreak tweak that allows you to use the ps3 on a jailbroken iOS device, or does it have bad compatibility or something?
[Fire TV General] eastbayarb:
lolwatpear,

For android, there is an app called sixaxis that let's you use a PS3 controller and requires root, but doesn't work with every device
[Fire TV General] Hot-Rod:
Controllers4all is the tweak (Cydia), and yes the compatibility is much worse than the PS4 controller, however in order for me to use the PS3 controller on my Amazon fire TV I would require root which I do not have :( but I'm sure if I could just find a controller that would work on android tablets and the iPad I should be good to go... but so far i'm not even sure a controller like this exists
[Fire TV General] Leedsgreen:
Thanks for reply guys. Yeah, my main aim is to play emulators. Would two Moga Pros work eastbayarb? Does anyone have experience of using emulators on the Fire TV with two (or more) controllers?

Thanks again, Leedsgreen
[Fire TV General] CB620:
I am heading to Gamestop now. They have the red samurai for $7. I have tried connected my PS4 controller to my fire stick and fire tv and haven't been successful. Hopefully this one works out.
[Fire TV General] eastbayarb:
Cool, let us know.

Slightly off topic, but does anyone know of a list of compatible sideloaded games that work on AFTV?
[Fire TV General] CB620:
I sideloaded NES SNES and GBA. Got my rom packs online. Gonna test the remote out when I get home.
[Fire TV General] xm41907:
There are many sideloadable gmaes that work. The problem is which controller do you have. I have well over 50 games sideloaded and two controllers. Some work with both, some with only one. It's more complicated than just which games work sideloaded.
[Fire TV General] CB620:
This is what I got:

http://www.gamestop.com/android/accessories/tablet-wireless-game-controller-v2/104425

In the Amazon menu/start screen all buttons work except D-pad, you have to use the Analog. When inside emulators NES,SNES,GENESIS,GBA you can map the keys to what you want, change the video aspect etc... I was able to play several games with no problem, no delay no lag.

Today i will be installing MAME and my Fire Stick will be setup to my liking.

No root, emulators, and kodi.
[Fire TV General] eastbayarb:
I really hope one day there is a Web page or wiki that lists what android games are compatible with whatever pads...
[Fire TV General] mgoodall:
Hi guys,

So after a lot of thread-reading I decided to buy a Nyko Propad and I can say it feels really well made and a nice feeling pad. What seems to be bugging me is the keymapping when using RetroArch (only tested SNES emulators so far) RetroArch picked up the pad and auto configs which is good, but it looks to messing up the start button, which means I can't get past the intro screen on most games (apart from Mario Cart which seems to be able to start with A button ;)

Anyone else having similar problems or overcome this?
[Fire TV General] eastbayarb:
What is the advantage of Retroarch (other than it be in an all in one emu) vs individual emus?
[Fire TV General] Wagmans:
So I picked up this pad for my Fire TV stick. I've tried a couple of games, one was compatible the other wasn't.

The Bard's Tale is supported, in Terraria all the buttons work except R2 which makes it unplayable.
[Fire TV General] eastbayarb:
Do any of the apps for mapping hardware buttons to on screen buttons work on the AFTV?
[Fire TV General] zapikoe:
Decided to pull the plug, and picked up Nyko Playpad Pro about a week ago.

My current location, left me with limited options. Just the Logitech Gamepad and Playpad Pro.

Picked up the non Fire TV version, and tried without updating into specific Fire TV firmware.

After the first crazy blinking charge, and pairing.. Turns out, it was awesome!

Walking Dead, Asphalt, NBA, Zombie Gunner, Grand Theft Auto, plus a bunch of other games works out of the box.

Plus I love the mouse functionality for Kodi. Never expected that it would be this simple, and seamless :)

[Fire TV General] will4958:
I've read that the Logitech F310 gamepad is supposed to be compatible with the Fire TV and all you have to do is plug it in. Well, I plugged mine in and nothing happened. Has anyone been able to get one to work, and if so how did you do it?
[Fire TV General] killerb777:
put the switch on the back of the controller to X or B. forget which one.
[Fire TV General] will4958:
Thanks, but I already tried the switch on the back. Should the controller be plugged in before turning on the Fire TV? I do have a Nyko Play Pad Pro that works great, but just wanted to have another controller for any two person games I can find that I can play with my nephews. Thanks for any additional help.
[Fire TV General] killerb777:
you could try that. not sure if it makes a difference but I just remember mine not being recognized. switched it to the x and it was working. I have mine plugged into a small hub too so i doubt powers an issue.
[Fire TV General] Squalll13:
Currently I have a wireless PS3 controller connected via the Sixaxis app. Yes I paid for the app (was using it on my GSII) and I have root. Cons are - it disables the FTV remote and it has about a half second input delay when playing emulators (Retroarch and ePSXe).

I'm not using it anymore coz the input delay is an absolute killer on fighting games. I'm not sure if it's the app, the emulator, the bluetooth or the controller but when I tried using my K400 (which is not bluetooth) to play emulators it presents the same lag.

Does anyone have experience on a wireless controller with absolutely zero lag? I was thinking of buying the F710 but I remembered my K400 and I'm afraid that it would give me the same input delay
[Fire TV General] dismissthesky:
You shouldn't be experiencing input delay that severe. It sounds like there's some greater configuration problem there than a controller alone could fix. I switch back and forth between using a PS3 controller and a wireless 360 controller and neither of them have an input delay anywhere near that bad unless I'm using Limelight. Do you get that sort of delay if you plug a controller into the USB port at all?
[Fire TV General] Squalll13:
No I haven't tried hard wiring it. I'll get back to you after I try it out.

Considering my Keyboard K400 also has that delay, it may have something to do with emulators in general since both the controller and the keyboard doesn't have delay when jsing it just to navigate through stuff
[Fire TV General] Squalll13:
Update to my post above.

Hardwiring my PS3 controller isn't detected by FireTV so I can't test if there's input lag in emulators if it's wired
[Fire TV General] jibjelly:
I was thinking about getting the FireTV or the PS TV since that has also come down in price. Both devices require you to buy additional controllers but I did not know you can use other controllers on the fireTV.

Did you mange to get the ps3 controller working on your firetv?
[Fire TV General] Squalll13:
Yeah it works but you need root and the paid sixaxis app. When you pair the contoller you're gonna lose the remote control.

Also like I said above, I had about .25 to .50 sec input lag on emulators I've tried
[Fire TV General] aboshi:
Gamestop has a controller called Red Samurai, it costs $14.97 or less and it works perfectly with anything that has bluetooth. I have been using it with the FireTV for a few months without issue.

Also Can be used in gamepad or keyboard mode. It Works with raspberry pi with a bluetooth dongle, and RetroPI in keyboard mode for all your emulation needs as well.

[Fire TV General] phibo:

Curious if these work... would be neat to have that nostalgic feel while playing the emulators.

Is there a way to remap buttons? I see that the Wii Classic Controller is mapped to fit the 360 style mapping that would mean that:

B/classic = A/360

A/classic = B/360

X/classic = Y/360

Y/classic = X/360

I want to use one of those nifty GameCube styled Wii U fight pads made by PDP. They're basically Wii Classic Controller Pros shaped like GameCube pads. See here:

http://www.amazon.com/PDP-Wired-Fight-Pad-nintendo-u/dp/B00LSBNSJA

So I'm on FireOS 5.0.3 (532008220) FireTV Stick (AFTM).

I have 2 PS4 Dualshock 4 controllers (OEM) that I can put in generic pairing mode (PS+Share) and they will pair to my MacBook Pro and work fine with it.

I'm unable to get either one of them to pair to the FireTV Stick though... I go to wireless controllers section and "wireless controller" shows up and i hit pair and the PS4 controller just turns off after a bit and then eventually the pairing process times out and it is never paired.

Can someone explain how to get the PS4 controller to work?

Using ADB Shell you can see that the PS4 controller is defined:

Yes moga pocket works , read on

you can link it to work,

however not thru fire tv settings, thru the moga universal driver app, and or pivot app.

turn pocket controller on,

now in the moga universal app , select link and find controller ,

app will find moga pocket and link it,

youll know its linked when moga pocket flashes green once !

only bad thing is you may have to do this relink thru the moga universal driver /app

everytime you restart , sorry

YOU MAY NEED TO BE ROOTED FOR ANDROID SYSTEM TO GIVE MOGA APP PERMISSION TO LINK , ETC.

NOT SURE , PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

[Fire TV General] tarvoke:
man, a lot of the "official microsoft" receivers even on amazon, some people were saying they got generic copies. which basically all still worked, which is the important part. (plus I would bet a goat and a baby, that the people who got fakes, bought from random cheaper sellers. always buy from amazon. are they evil? yes. does it cost a few bucks more? yes. is it much, much less likely to be fake? yes. do you get free 2 day shipping? probably, unless you don't use prime.)

for windows it didn't seem to really matter, even if the hardware IDs were unknown, you could just do the usual device manager do-si-do b/c the same driver worked you just had to point it in the right direction. for android i.e. lunix, I think the driver-writing peoples of the world collected a lot of the hardware ids as they could. plus some of the copies boldly use MS ids anyway, ha ha good for them.

However about the blinking issue, has anyone played enough for the controller to time out? It turns off as it normally would if it doesn't register a player selection in time and I have to turn it back on. Sucks you out of the game pretty hard.

Dualshock 4 works great.

I picked up a dualshock 4 ps4 controller, and it seems to work great. I got it to map keys in snes9x and control UI, X is return, and Square is enter, but it definitely works.

---------- Post added at 06:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------

Upon further use, it does work great, but time out after a minute or so. If you plug it into a cellphone charger and sync it via bluetooth it solves this issue for now.

Edit: Also doesn't allow accelleration on riptide.
