to use a USB or Bluetooth controller you can use either gamekeyboard, or a modified keylayout file.

if you are a developer you can also modify the hardcoded controls in the emulator itself.

But how about embedded QWERTY Keyboard (not bluetooth or USB)?
If I use Gamekeyboard, will it affect performance?

Will PPSSPP add button setting interface like other emulator?

I forgot there is touch emulation for sixasis app so my problem is generally solved.Still not as responsive as if the buttons were natively recognized by ppsspp since now the thumb press is emulated but ok until a in-mapp feature is added

Has anyone managed to remap the key layout for a usb Xbox360 controller without an intermediate program. No matter what I try it reverts back to the stock layout. Like this post for PS3 controllers

Yes you can I use it with a wii classic controller and my wired xbox360 before I had native support for it , but you need to verify a few things.
-your device is rooted.
-your device has full usb support.(some don't even though you can plug mice, keyboards, and usb sticks)
**** if you don't try following this post and it might enable full usb support
-You have the server app to emulate touch events.
****Some tablets have problems with touch emulation and the joystick program so follow this post.

You can't map the O key because you need to map BACK and ALT but you can only map one or the other. So you will have to use touch emulation.

Hope it helps

I don't have anything to test it with, so it is possible the abxy buttons are swapped around(particularly the x and y buttons)
and it seems to have an alternate way of handling the d-pad, so there is a chance it will never work properly without a remapping app or button map settings in ppsspp.

i can use xpader on pc

Hi guys, i have a little problem, with PPSSPP missing a "quit" or "back" button from ingame, because my phone Nokia N8 doesn't have a going back button like on android hope you find o way in the next update to add a button THX, in rest the emulator works fine and tried "pinball fantasies" and work's like a charm.

Thanks for writing this up and yeah the keys are rotated 90 clockwise.

Code:

key 304 BUTTON_X WAKE_DROPPED
key 305 BUTTON_Y WAKE_DROPPED
key 307 DPAD_CENTER WAKE_DROPPED
key 308 BACK ALT WAKE_DROPPED

Also on my tab I had to have this for the file name: Vendor_XXXX_Product_XXXX_Version_XXXX.kl or otherwise it would apply a standard keylayout. (to get the values for the XXXX you will need to open a terminal and type in this cat /proc/bus/input/devices then find your controller in the list and copy the three values down.)

Code:

axis 0x10 HAT_X
axis 0x11 HAT_Y

this is the code for the d-pad which does issue the correct key-codes for it.

My only problem now is the analog sticks are giving out d-pad key-codes as well so I can't move my character and I eventually die lol. Any suggestions?

Does the analog stick work for the PS3 controller?

[thedicemaster]

(psp)analog only works using the touchscreen, and even then only barely.
for now any game that relies heavily on analog controls can be considered unplayable.

Could the analog support join in the next version？

--mapping buttons inside the emulator--

(and a settings that to hide that virtual keys?)

i borrowed the phone of my friend and tried to install PPSSPP on it.. I played a game and the buttons are like to cover the whole screen.. i heared about the transparency of the buttons but having a controller attached to a device (like PS3) and easily set-up it inside the emu will be greatly appreciated... This will be a plus on some users who have USB support..... ^_^

(sorry for bad english, im filipino ^_^)

[livisor]

For those of you who want to use a PS3 wireless controller on android you have the "Sixasis" app which lets you connect through bluetooth.If you use that app just remember to tick "Native Gamepad" and PPSSPP should map everything including analog automatically.For usb gamepads I don't know because I use wireless.

mapping buttons inside emulator will come later,after compatibility is better,for transparent keys that should be easier because all that has to be done is add a new option with the same controls but modified in photoshop to be transparent

Thanks, but I already do it. This post is old.

And the app not need root. Only the Joy2Touch Server.

a dont have a working pc (windows) it got bluescreen >.< (i am using my old netbook with android 1.6 but ppsspp wont work on this...)
anyway, does sixaxis work by plugging the PS3 directly into a smartphone or a tablet?
