Do you want to control ps3 with android phone or tablet? Here are two ways to use your phone with PS3 controllers.
Because mobile games are becoming increasingly advanced, it’s no surprise that many people are interested in pairing controllers with their devices. The PlayStation 3 (PS3) controller is a popular choice.
Here are methods for connecting your ps3 remote apps controller to your Android phone or tablet, as well as the compatibility constraints and other prerequisites for each.
Method 1: Make use of the Sixaxis Controller
Step 1: Make sure you’re compatible.
Because Sixaxis Controller is a premium software, you need first check its compatibility with your phone using the free Sixaxis Compatibility Checker app. To check whether your phone is compatible, simply press Start in the compatibility checker.
The app will run a compatibility check if you’ve rooted your phone. If the app is able to provide your phone’s Bluetooth address, you’ll know if it’s compatible. It also displays a compatibility confirmation dialogue box.
Continue to the next step with this Bluetooth address in mind (you’ll need it later).
Step 2: Assemble the Controller
Aside from rooting your phone, you’ll need to set up your controller as well. By prepping your PS3 controller with a PC tool, you may make it compatible with the Sixaxis app. SixaxisPairTool is an option provided by the app’s developers.
Install and execute this programmer as an administrator on your computer. There is a Windows version as well as a controller pairing tool for macOS and Linux.
The straightforward programmer displays a little dialogue box with the Bluetooth address of your controller’s master device. There’s also a spot where you can replace the master device. Continue by entering your phone’s Bluetooth address (as provided by the compatibility checker). After that, the application will install the necessary drivers for your controller.
You can have problems with this part of the matching procedure. SixaxisPairTool occasionally fails to start, with an error message stating that libusb0.dll is missing.
One workaround is to navigate to the x86 directory in the location where SixaxisPairTool was installed.
You should also go to Device Manager (right-click the Start Button) and delete the HID compatible gaming controller device from the Human Interface Devices section. You can use SCP Toolkit as an alternate driver installer if you can get the application to run but not install the drivers.
Step 3: Use the Sixaxis Controller App to pair the controllers.
You’ll be relieved to learn that this step is simpler than the others. Before you begin, make sure the app has superuser permissions on your phone.
It’s as simple as tapping the Start button on the Sixaxis Controller app at this point. After that, the program will run a series of tests to ensure you have the necessary drivers.
The connection is successful when the app’s dialogue indicates Client 1 connected. By hitting buttons and moving the sticks about, you can make sure everything is working. The program should reply by moving its selections according to your buttons.
Now all you have to do is fire up a game that accepts gamepad input and have fun!
