The dev would have to include that functionality in their game unfortunately, nothing we can do on this end. But, you can play Playstation Games using the FPse emulator on the market, and that lets you map buttons to the physical keyboard.

There's an app coming out (out already maybe?) for jailbroken iOS that maps bluetooth controller input to touch regions on the screen.
Basically it takes input from the controller and passes it as if someone had touched the appropriate control area.
Not sure if something similar is doable within the Android system.

Trying to find where I saw this recently, will provide a link to clarify as soon as I do.

E: BAM!

Something like that would solve the issue in question.

Thought of developing something similar hundred times, but there were problems (can't remember which exactly..:) Nice to know that if it has been done, it's possible to do it!

So far I've found:
  • Cordy,
  • Spectral Souls (configurable layout, I assume Generation of Chaos does that too),
  • Zenonia 4 (weird layout but playable).

I find that the Desire Z keyboard is rather nice for gaming. It's just that the keyboard layout isn't parallel like normal keyboards so using WASD is pretty difficult.
