IвЂ™ve done that, and selected the вЂњSTARTвЂќ key to toggle mouse, set the left stick to control the mouse, and assigned L1 and R1 as the left and right mouse buttons. You may also want to enable вЂњMouse EmulationвЂќ, or youвЂ™ll have to use your mouse to control the menu in the game instead of your controller. IвЂ™ve also changed the вЂњAnalog Poll RateвЂќ to the maximum, but IвЂ™ve not sure it affects playability at all. Still in Sixaxis Controller, click on Preferences->GamePad SettingsвЂ™, and Enable Gamepad as shown below. Now letвЂ™s try to setup the system to play Dead Trigger. You can then click on вЂњChange IMEвЂќ, and select Sixaxis Controller. The user interface is very similar to the free checker, just follow the same instructions to pair your controller.

The message tells you to use SiaxisPairTool in Windows or sixpair in Linux, but since all mini PCs run Android 4.x, we can just connect our PS3 controller to the mini PC via USB for the next step.

This is check if your Android device is compatible, and if it is successful show the message below with the master address. Launch Sixasis Compatibility Checker, and click on Start. The first thing to do in Android is to download Sixaxis Compatibility Checker, a utility that checks if your Android device and your controller are compatible, before you buy Sixaxis Controller app (~$2.50 US).

Click to Enlarge (Click to Enlarge) Playing Android Games with PS3 Wireless ControllerДЄt the beginning, I though my controller was damaged because I failed to see it in the list of Bluetooth devices in both Linux computers and Android devices. IвЂ™ve also partially disassembled the thing for those of you who want to see its guts. The model number at the back is CECHZC2U. I canвЂ™t compare the build quality to an original controller since IвЂ™ve never used one.

The wireless controller comes with a silicon case, and nothing else, so youвЂ™ll also need to find a mini USB to USB cable to charge the device. I received the controller in the package below, which was *almost* not damagedвЂ¦ Goigame Doubleshock III Package (Click to Enlarge) Today, IвЂ™ll start by showing pictures of the controller, then explain how I managed to play Dead Trigger in Tronsmart T428 Android mini PC, and SuperTuxKart in a computer running Ubuntu 13.04. I decided to give it a try by buying вЂњ GOIGAME Rechargeable Bluetooth Wireless DoubleShock III Controller for PS3вЂќ for $16.60, which is a clone of SonyвЂ™s PlayStation 3 Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller, and costs about three times less. Luckily thereвЂ™s a solution, and with some efforts, you can play many games, but not all, with a PS3 Bluetooth controller connected to your Android mini PC or Set-Top Box. Of course, OUYA and GameStick projects will take care of this, as well as the recently available Project SHIELD ($349), but if you already have one of those mini PCs, you may not want to spend the money for another device. The reality is that the keyboard and mouse, or remote controls used with those devices, are not suitable for games, and most games do not play at all.
