Got a new XA1 Ultra (G3223) and I was hoping to use my old DualShock 3 controller with it for games, especially emulators.
The DS3 does work fine when wired into a PC or my old Moto G running LineageOS, but when I plug the controller into my XA1 Ultra using a Type-C to Type A OTG adapter it doesn't seem to be recognized or work at all.
All other USB devices I've tried work right away when plugged into the the adapter (Logitech wired game controller, flash drives, keyboards, wireless mice)
Has anyone had better success getting any PlayStation controllers to work with the XA1 Ultra? Would rooting make any difference? Does Sony intentionally disable support for their own controllers on some phones for some reason? I know they are officially supported on some Xperia phones, but seems very strange to me that the Logitech controller which is basically a wired DS3 knock-off works perfectly but an actual Sony controller doesn't.
The battery in my DS3 is long dead so no way to try wireless right now, was thinking about maybe buying a replacement battery to be able to use it with the Sixaxis Controller app which I already own, if/when I root my XA1 Ultra that is, but I think you need to wire the controller in to pair it in the first place.. unless that has changed.
Might also just wait and buy the 8bitdo SNES30 Pro when it's released..
