New Update - PlayStation 3 Wireless Controller Support

[Sploogie]

For those interested in playing onlive with a controller, the PS3 controller does not work, yet interestingly, a wired xbox controller does. Go figure

I downloaded a patched version of onlive app from the onlive helper thread in xperia play forum on the third page there approximately and it works with ps3 controller but maping is slightly off. Square is a, triangle is b, dpad seems to only move after continues pressing but left analogue seems to replace dpad moves perfecty. I played lego batman with no problem and warhammer for bit and found both totally playable. I hope some repatches it properly

I can pair my controller wired no worries, but no response at all if I try wirelessly. Won't even turn on, its like theres no battery (but the tablet reports full bars when it is wired).

works fine wired w/ crash bandicoot at least rofl

I think my controller is a third party one, does it matter?

I would say YES, it definitely matters if your controller is not SONY but a 3rd party.
Also, make sure bluetooth is ON on your tablet.

I have tested using 2 Sony PS3 Controlled connected to my Tablet via bluetooth and both can be used at the same time.

Any multi player game can try or anyone have tried?

Could someone please confirm if there's supposed to be vibration feedback when using the wireless controller. It's the first time I'm using the controller for anything other than the PS3 so a little confused...

I'd like to point out that the wifi sleep policy is STILL NOT being applied correctly. EVERY time I turn my screen off and back on, the wifi goes off.

This happens regardless of what option that I have selected in the settings panel for the wifi sleep policy.

What are you doing Sony? You have the binary drivers source code and all of their documentation. I've seen drivers patched together that behave better than what we've got here.

So short story. Fix the wifi. We are getting tired of it. $100 off the price isn't going to save your failing tablet with software issues like this, that still have not been fixed after several updates. Pfft.

from what I remember, not all games supported the DualShocks vibration feedback. DualShock wasnt the standard until 1998.

I was prompted with new system update just now. Finally, Sony is adding support for PS3 wireless controller. Downloading now - 16.6MB

Wow, thanks for the info

GTAIII works great with this, I highly recommend it
