The A500 is compatible and seems to work fine. I've downloaded it and gave it a try in FPse. I'll try it out with some emulated Mario to see if I notice the same lag I do when using a Wii remote in SNES9x EX, but I have to go to work.

Edit: Now I went through this quickly, but am I correct in thinking that this requires a PC in order to reslave the Sixaxis to a new device?

Only needed if you want to use Bluetooth, as the sixaxis works fine wired using 3.1.

The issue I have when I use it wired is that the Start button always brings up the home screen. That means I can't map anything in games to Start.

This works fine on my phone, a friend recommended it.

However, I cannot get it to work on my iconia a500. I made sure that the controller is using the same bluetooth mapping, and when I turn it on, it definitely syncs with the iconia (the controller goes to port 1, and when i turn bluetooth off on the iconia, the controller turns off), however, the program never shows "Client Connected: 1" like it does on my phone. Ive changed the input type to Sixaxis, bluetooth IS enabled, the phone IS rooted and the controller technically does sync with the tab, but it doesnt load in the program.

Any ideas? Anyone else run into this.

Do you have a 2nd controller to test it with?

Make sure you're not running the Compatibility Checker app in the background (i.e. be sure to stop the compatibility checker before starting the main app.

ICONIA have native wired compatibility.. why actuallyy u need this ?
Hook your Iconia up to the TV via HDMI, put it down on the TV stand so it's not in danger of being tripped over and game from your couch. Totally worth the cost of a soft drink to me.

Absolutely agree. Using this app on my TF, plugged into AC/HDMI and can play from 15 feet away on my couch. Absolutely worth 2 clams.

I just brought my pad over to my friends house hooked it up to their TV and played some SNES Secret of Mana and NBA Jam. Totally worth it!

love it!

I totally picked this up in an instant... going wireless is so much better, and the keys are remappable, so in that way it's better than what you get using it over USB. Plus this way I can put all of those huge PS1 roms on my new 32GB USB stick and not have to worry about having no port left for the controller. Also enjoyed playing Cordy console-style with the tab hooked up to the TV and using the DS3... the beginning of the future is here, my friends. :D

So you can connect two controllers no problem? hmm.

Are you using yongzh's PS emulator?

So I tested connecting to controllers. The app will recognize them and the corresponding lights with light up on them. Unfortunately I couldn't use more than one on SNES9X EX because it can't set two player inputs to be "keyboard."

I also tested it on FPse for PS1 emulation. I was able to map the buttons on both controllers but then I tried to use the second one in Tekken 3 it spazzed out like crazy. I don't know if that was an issue with the Sixaxis app or the emulator.

Edit: I just experienced a random restart of my tablet while using this app in SNES9x EX. I'm not sure if this was an issue with the Sixaxis app, HDMI out, or something else but I lost over an hour of Bahamut Lagoon and have to repeat an entire battle. :mad:
