anyone try usb controllers?

---

Hey, did anyone here use USB controllers through an otg cable? If so did it work with emulators?

I'm going to buy a USB nes controller for nesoid and find out but I would be happier knowing that people here have been able to do things like this. I use my Bluetooth keyboard just fine so I hope it is as easy as that.

I have read about people having success with usb controllers. I know I do.

I tried a Logitech USB controller connected to a hub. It worked flawlesslyand i was able to map all the keys.

That is good to hear. Since I can HDMI out my xoom to my TV I can get the true experience practically without trying to buy another nes.

On a side note: why is everybody using USB hubs? Ever since USB hosting I have noticed it is a common thing lying around the house. Maybe one day when I have more USB peripherals I will understand but right now everything is Bluetooth.

I've tested two controllers so far, a PS3 one, and a PS2 controller connected via a USB adapter.

The PS3 worked perfectly except for in N64oid, I could map all the buttons, but for some reason the d-pad and analog sticks don't work to move Mario around in Mario 64 (the only game I've tested). It worked great in FPse, SNESoid, etc, etc.

The PS2 controller connected to a USB adapter would work to move the screen around, but when I tried to map any keys in apps they would just show as "unknown"

My Super Dual Box Pro doesn't seem to work right with the -oid series of emulators. Analog up/down/left/right works ok in the emulator menus, but none of the buttons do anything in the game, even after mapping. All of the buttons say "unknown".

I use a hub because I keep all my ROMs on it. I plug in my controller and thumbdrive. I believe that you can also plug in an additional controller for multiplayer games line Mario Kart.
