Android devices are becoming more powerful each hour due to efficient processors and more capacity RAMs bundled inside. Also, they are increasingly used as gaming devices. Any gaming device is not as powerful without gamepad controller/joystick support, and only a few of the Android games support it. Here’s a simple tutorial which will help you to configure & map your any USB Joystick or gamepad controller (PS2/PS3-Sisaxis/Xbox 360/Wii Remote) joystick on any Android device to let you play any game on using Gamepad on Android.

Tutorial to Configure or Map any USB or Bluetooth Joystick on Android using USB Bt JoyCenter app

If a single line remains on, then pairing has been successful. Now when you open the Compatibility Checker app, you should see a response each time you press a button on the controller. If you want to use the controller with your PS3 again, hook it up to a PS3 USB port using the miniUSB cable.

Pre-Requisites –

• Count Name; 1: 4,264,904: Xbox 360 Controller (XInput STANDARD GAMEPAD) 2: 2,555,652: Wireless Controller (STANDARD GAMEPAD Vendor: 054c Product: 09cc) 3: 1,239,627.
• Use the re-map feature to program any button to another on the controller. Run diagnostics for maximum performance Run lightning-fast tests and recalibrate different parts of your controller including buttons, sticks, triggers, and audio.

• A USB OTG cable to connect your USB Controller (Not required if using a Bluetooth-based controller)
• Android 4.4 (Kitkat & later), Android 5.1 (Lollipop), Marshmallow as well as Nougat supported
• This tutorial will let you simulate key-presses and not touch-input as it requires root. But however you can use our tutorial to simulate any keypresses, and thus combine it with any of the N64, NES, AMIGA, N64, GBA emulators to play those games using gamepad controller as those games/emulators do not require touch.

Method –

Step. 1 – Installing USB BT JoyCenter App –

• Previously, the USB-BT JoyCenter app was available on PlayStore, but now it has been removed hence our first step is to download & install the USB-BT JoyCenter app from the link below –
  Click here to Download latest USB-BT JoyCenter .apk file.
• Now, once you have installed the app Proceed to the step.2

Step. 2 – Connecting Gamepad via USB – OTG or Bluetooth

• Now, connect your Joystick or gamepad to your mobile phone either by OTG or Bluetooth and open the USB BT JoyCenter app, it will show a message as “No devices found.” On this screen tap on the search button as shown in the image below –

  After you tap on Search it will search for the USB for any joysticks connected. If you want to include Bluetooth devices too in the search, just toggle “ON” the “BT” toggle at the top left-hand corner.

• The app may ask you for permissions to access USB – Please allow the app to access the USB port as shown –

  Once you allow access, you will be able to see your gamepad inside the app as shown in the image below –

Step. 3 – Enabling Gamepad Input

• Once you have connected your Gamepad, we need to assign permissions to be used as an Input to device, for doing the same –
• Navigate to the “IME” toggle at the Top-Left corner of the screen and turn it “ON.”
• Here, you will be asked to select your USB Input device, here select the input type as “USBJoyIME” as shown in the image below –

  Now, we are ready to proceed to our final step. i.e mapping inputs.

Step. 4 – Mapping Joystick Keys to Inputs

Now, this can be done directly inside your emulator or on the USB / BT JoyCenter app itself. We will be covering both of them –

Mapping in USB / BT JoyCenter app –

• Inside the USB / BT JoyCenter, click on the “Square button with your joystick name.”
• Then, you will see a horizontal ribbon showing all the available inputs which can be given “e.g., A-Z, 1-9, etc.” as shown in the image below –

  E.g., if you want to give “7” input to Android , select 7 from the horizontal strip, and then press the key to simulate 7 on your joystick.

• That’s it you have now configured Mapping Joystick or gamepad controller to your Android.

Alternative Method – Mapping in Emulator –

• After you have selected the “USBJoyIME” keyboard, open and launch the emulator you use, now go to Settings -> controller.
• Here, from the available key assignments required for emulator – select the button to be emulated as shown –

  Now, it will ask you to press the corresponding hardware”joystick” key to be assigned as shown in the image below –

  Here, simply press the corresponding button on your Joystick which you want to assign.
