While not technically a gamepad, the Mele F10 Pro is an alternate input device that can be used. It mostly works, but some of the buttons were not functional.

Was able to remap some of the keys with a custom keylayout:

- Home button now goes HOME, instead of to the top of a list

- Center select button is now the proper DPAD_CENTER and not ENTER

- Volume - is now the BACK button

- Volume + is now the MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE button

- Media next button was remapped to MEDIA_FAST_FORWARD

- Media previous button was remapped to MEDIA_REWIND

- On the back of the remote, Escape was remapped to the BACK button

- On the back of the remote, Function+Info was remapped to APP_SWITCHER (recent apps list)

Some buttons, such as power, answer call, reject call, etc could not be remapped unfortunately.

Instructions:

- Push this file to /system/usr/keylayout/

- Set permissions RW-R--R--

- Unplug Mele dongle, and plug back in

Some success with the Wii remote - remapping needed

I followed the instructions in this post.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1690900

It did not seem to work. It would display notifications of connecting to my Wiimotes address then nothing.

I downloaded the game Battlezone Mars to try - still getting notification of connecting to the Wiimote

started the game and it worked but with poor control due to buttons needing remapping.

The game responded to both the FTV remote and the Wiimote but needs mapping that I havn't worked out yet

Prerequisites not listed in the posting above.

1 - seetings.apk - I think BluezIME needs to be the default under KEYBOARD & INPUT METHODS - not sure.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/u2e9dm39nr8rw70/Settings.apk

2 - Xposed framework install - see this thread -- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2618158

3 - HDXposed module installed.

I've found that Language and Input in settings only worked when HDXposed was installed.

I got it to link with a different Wiimote without a pin or going into Bluetooth settings - just using the Bluez IME app and selecting

that wiimote address

.

Limited navigating menus & XBMC with the wiimote right now.

Sorry for the lack of instructions & details. Give it a try. You may get further than I did.

I gotta get going.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/sxn217s2jshenpl/LangInputBluezIME.png

Edit:

An additional input method like a USB keyboard is needed since the bluetooth is switched off briefly.

I also tried to use BluesIME to make a BT keyboard work and the system froze requiring forced reboot via ADB of other method.

Can also confirm that this works. I played 1943 in nesoid and it worked pretty much perfectly I used h t t p s://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ccpcreations.android.WiiUseAndroid&hl=en to actually pair my wiimote as I already had it installed, but will give bluez a try. If I can find my classic controller I will try it with that also.

That is a really good thread. I followed the instructions there and it fixed the camera spin but I can't use the triggers in Minecraft unfortunately. Haven't tested extensively but I also have the official controller coming too so I may not need to. I'd still like to solve it so I can use the Xbox 360 controllers, though.

[Fire TV General] Dhickory:
You should still be able to find the file for your model. I have no idea what they look like or what it would be called, but from what I've gathered they're in /system/usr/keylayout/. I would think they would be the same, whether wireless or not, but again I've never had to fool with them.
[Fire TV General] Smithy71:
My wireless Xbox 360 controller with adapter works for emulation etc. I cannot get the right stick to work with The Walking Dead, right at the start you need to look into the rear view mirror using the right stick and the cursor just moves to the left of the screen and stays there.

Just got my MayFlash Wii U Pro USB adapter and am mostly happy with how well it works.

In Xinput mode, everything mostly works, but I am not able to sync more than one controller and I also cannot map the ZL/ZR buttons. I also run into some weirdness because + maps to Menu and I tend to use that for Start in emulators and it causes the menu to pop up all the time. - maps to back, but I think most emulators are smart enough to ignore the back button, so that doesn't really cause any issues.

In Dinput mode, I'm able to sync multiple Pro controllers, am able to map ZL/ZR, and the + and - buttons actually map to gamepad buttons, rather than Android navigational buttons. The issues with Dinput mode are that I can't map the analog sticks at all and the controller can't be used to control the FTV at all.

If I could get the analog sticks working in Dinput mode, I'd be completely happy with this purchase, but as of now I need to choose between one player games with the analog sticks, or two player games with the dpads. Anyone know what it would take to get the analog sticks working in Dinput mode?

EDIT: URL for the adapter is http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Wii-Pro-Controller-Adapter/dp/B00E6553PW. You just plug it in to the FTV's USB port, hit the sync button, then hit the sync button your Pro controller and you're good to go.
[Fire TV General] illuminerdi:
I can't seem to pair my Dualshock 4s (either of them!) to my rooted FTV. Am I missing something? Do I need Bluez IME or something else installed to pair a DS4? I've done the keylayout file thing to fix the mapping of the buttons, but I can't get it to pair wirelessly. Should I have paired once before doing the keylayout fix for the DS4?

Thanks

I just picked up a used Fire TV off my local Craigslist today super cheap and figured I'd try a few controllers.

1. MOGA Pocket was not found.

2. Afterglow wireless PS3 controller works, USB receiver plugged into the Fire TV and the controller worked right away required no additional steps.

3. Afterglow wired 360 controller works, required no additional steps.
[Fire TV General] nstern2:
So I decided to pick up one of these nes30 controllers to compliment a wiimote/classic controller for playing roms and it is quite the nice controller. It connected perfectly from the KFTV launcher no weird settings to change. It acts like a normal game controller just without the analog sticks. It has worked perfectly with everything I threw at it.

I picked one of these up, but I haven't been able to pair it with my FTV because it prompts me for a PIN that I couldn't enter without an external keyboard. After typing the PIN, it still doesn't connect. Do you get prompted for a PIN? I wonder if my NES30 is just on an older firmware.
[Fire TV General] nstern2:
Nope, I just went into the fire tv game controller screen and choose to connect to a controller and it came up as the nes30 or some such. After clicking connect it was just connected. I would check to see if you have the latest firmware on your nes30, my fire tv is on whatever the latest rootable firmware is.
[Fire TV General] dismissthesky:
Which mode are you trying to pair it in? Because there are different connection modes depending on how you start it. When I first got mine I could only get it to pair by holding Start and A which puts it into iCade mode I believe, but with the most recent firmware I can connect with just start, which is the optimal way since it allows you to natively use the D-pad and buttons in the FTV GUI. IIRC pairing in iCade was only possible after sideloading both settings.apk and an app called "Bluetooth Pairing".

If you're going that route, hold start and A and then run the bluetooth pairing app. Run a scan and then select the NES30 in the app. It will give you a bunch of kanji that says who knows what. Then go into settings.apk and try to pair it.This might take a few tries but it eventually should connect and stay paired.

Really though, try updating the firmware. It fixed all of my complaints about the controller and turned it into my favorite controller ever. It even auto pairs now when I turn it on and off.

And in case you're wondering,don't bother with the 8bitdo android app. I haven't been able to get it to work at all.

Madcatz Ps3 gamepad?

Hi, I dug up an old gamepad for the PS3, it is one of those madcatz Street Figter 4 wireless gamepads that comes with a USB dongle. Once I plug in the dongle, the D-pad works perfectly as well as the home button. But it looks like the Square is for confirm and X is cancel. No other buttons work, wondering if there is a mapper out that will work for this or if there is an emulator app that has an option to map the buttons?

Thanks!

Red Samurai Gamestop controller, or really any alternative remote for that matter in a game from the Amazon App Store....any luck?

I have the Red Samurai and it synced up easily, and it can scroll through the menu of GTA San Andreas that I've purchased. But none of the buttons work, only the analog stick. Is this an issue that anyone else runs into? I'm wondering if it's worth it to just spend the $$ on the amazon remote and not have to deal with anything.

Please let me know if anyone has found a way for the alternative remotes to work with Android apps that I purchased from the Amazon store. OR, what if I sideload an .apk that I bought from the Google Play Store? Will that be any different than Amazon's?

Sorry if this has been answered, I searched and read through some too but I didn't see it. Thanks again in advance!

I can't comment on the Red Samurai controller, but both wireless and wired Xbox 360 controllers seem to work fine in the couple of Amazon games I've tried. The PS3 controller works fine as well.

I have two Nyko Playpad Pros that are working great with my Fire TV since upgraded to the latest firmware. FYI, the Playpad Pro for Android and Playpad Pro for Fire TV are identical hardware. The only difference is that the Fire TV version ships with a newer firmware. I picked up two Playpad Pros for Android at Gamestop for about $13 each and flashed the latest firmware (it's the same for Android and FireTV - just need the latest) and they work great with Aspalt 8 and Bombsquad.

X360 controller with USB Receiver...

So has anybody tried to pair/use/play more then one (2-4) wireless Xbox 360 controllers to a single FireTV with any single USB Receiver ??? Or thru a USB hub 2-4 controllers paired to a 2-4 USB receivers ?? Feedback please.
[Fire TV General] Spykez0129:
So first off yes, I run a USB hub with multiple 360 gamepads hooked to it and it reads out correctly on the gamepad too.

However since the most recent update, my gamepads no longer work, nothing on the hub seems to read, I'll have to unplug it and try directly to the unit itself but did anyone else notice this? I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon blocked gamepads now too, they seem bent on being douche bags.

If anyone is having issues with the playpad and old firmware, i believe this is the latest firmware here, just use the wired update method from your PC and choose the 101 bin from the download link (Do so at your own risk):

Grab the latest bin for your controller here:

Use the Wired update method here but choose the 101 bin from link above: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nrbp4fefwwu2g6l/IYv8irXZaU

Hey guys!

I have two 360 XBox controller connected to the AFTV. When playing Flappy Bird both controllers are working seperatly and I can play with two players. But when I play Super Mario Kart on an Emulator both gamepads control player one.

Has somebody a solution for this?
[Fire TV General] Y314K:
Don't know a solution but would like to know if both XBox 360 controllers are wired or wireless ?? I am thinking they are wired since you mention connected ???
[Fire TV General] D33H:
I am able to play Super Mario Kart 64 (2 player) using an ouya controller and a wired Xbox 360 controller. You can go in and map the keys for the second controller. I'm not sure which emulator you're using but most enable key mapping for multiplayer.
[Fire TV General] martian21:
Need to know what emulator you are using since controller mapping is handled by the emulator. I finally broke down and purchased several emulators from the *.emu series since they work with ROM Collection Browser and have excellent controller support (including working with multiple controllers.)
[Fire TV General] plissk3n:
Thanks for the replys!

Connected wireless with the USB wireless adapter :p

I am using SNESoid. When I find the time I will try a few other emulators.

Yeah SNESoid does offer key mapping for two controllers and I already did those. I think the emulator is a bit dumb ;)
[Fire TV General] D33H:
Try using SNES 9 EX. It definitely allows key mapping to individual controllers.
[Fire TV General] Y314K:
Great.. Your the second confirmation I've found of this. Glad I won't have to buy Amazon's gaming remotes when I am already in the market for some X360 remotes. And already got some Wii remotes that should work too...

I do wonder. Can you use your XBox 360 remotes as a mouse.. AKA in parts of XBMC or other PlayStore apps that can not be controlled or is to difficult to control with the FTV remote & need a mouse or keyboard ???
[Fire TV General] plissk3n:
Will do and report back!

No, the stick acts like a remote up down left right, A & B are enter and back. Maybe with some extra tweaking?!

Hi guys. I'm struggling to see how my controller (Nyko Playpad Pro Fire TV Firmware) can be used to play a game like NBA 2K14 (Fire Edition)? The "Fire Edition" is supposed to be compatible with Fire TV. They are only 2 options for controls in the game. The "classic" virtual d-pad with action buttons on screen or the one touch gesture option. Where does the controller come into play? My Fire TV can't be rooted unfortunately, and the gamepad works great in the menus and on games like Asphalt 8. Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated.

[Fire TV General] pomonkey:
Just got my Playpad Pro from amazon and I can't get it to pair for the life of me! I've updated the firmware (tried both 100 and 101 bins) using every method I know of - PC, Playground app, and the Playpad Firmware Update app. I also tried pairing in each of the different "modes" (gamepad, app, etc). I'm at my wit's end. The Fire TV is running the latest rooted stock image, if that matters.

Any ideas?
[Fire TV General] martian21:
First off - make sure you have fully (at least 2 hours) charged your batteries. The PlayPad is really picky about needing a full charge the first time.

Make sure it is in gamepad mode and hold in the home button to turn it on. Then go to pairing on the Fire TV. The red light on your PlayPad Pro should be flashing about once a second. Select pair on your Fire TV

then hold the home button in on your PlayPad Pro again (4-5 seconds) until the red light starts flashing faster

- this puts it into pairing mode. Took me a while to figure that out. After a bit the PlayPad Pro should be detected and you can select it on the Fire TV to complete pairing.

Good luck!
[Fire TV General] pomonkey:
Yep... I've done all that. :( The one thing you mentioned that I didn't really think of before was entering pairing mode on the PP AFTER the FTV is already searching. But even that is a no go.

A couple of followup questions:

1. Which firmware is the one I should be using? 100 or 101? As I said I've tried both to the same results.

2. When you say "after a bit" the FTV should detect the gamepad, how long is "a bit"? When pairing my Harmony Hub (also BT), it shows up almost immediately. But I've waited several minutes (long enough for the FTV screensaver to come on!) without the PP popping up to pair.

Also I failed to mention that it works perfectly with my Nexus 5, so... I know it's not a (fully) defective controller.

I might just go grab a Red Samurai and return the PP to amazon. For as little gaming as I'll do... that should be fine. It just drives me nuts when I know something SHOULD work, but it doesn't! lol
[Fire TV General] martian21:
I used both the 100 and 101 firmwares with no issues. They typically show up after 5-10 seconds (a "bit").

Are you sure you got it into the proper pairing mode? It's imperative that you get the fast blinking for it to work, otherwise it just does nothing and times out.
[Fire TV General] pomonkey:
Yup... I'm getting a fast blink for sure. At first I didn't realize that the normal slow blink wasn't pairing mode, so ever since then I'm sure to hold the home button until it blinks faster than normal. And like I said, I did pair it up and play a game on my phone. If I hadn't done that I would just assume it's defective.

I just can't think of a reason it would work on one and not the other, aside from the firmware obviously. Every time I flash it says successful, so I have to assume it's actually upgrading it. Ugh!
