Gaming has taken on a whole new dimension since the introduction of the iPhone & definitely the iPad. Whilst these two Apple devices are great gaming devices, alot of games still try to emulate gamepads with onscreen buttons that are not so great.
Is there an App that will turn a gamepad eg an XBox 360 or Playstation gamepad into a controller for any game with touchscreen buttons & How to configure it ?
Best Answer
It's definitely possible to use a PS3 controller on a jailbroken iPhone. You need the $7 app Blutrol and the SixpairTool for MacOS X. Before I rewrite the instructions, please simply refer to http://lifehacker.com/5991266/how-to-use-a-gamepad-for-any-ios-game-not-just-emulators.
EDIT: In a nutshell
GETTING READY:
First, you need an jailbreak your iOS device. Then, download the App Blutrol (http://apt.thebigboss.org/mobileweb/onepackage.php?bundleid=ch.ringwald.blutrol&db=), which currently costs $6.99. In order to use the PS3 controller, you will need an additional app for MacOS: SixPairMac (ringwald.ch/cydia/blutrol/SixPairMac-v1.0.zip)
SETUP for PS3 controllers: Connect the PS3 controller via USB Cable, and the iOS device (via lightning cable or 30-pin cable) to your Mac. Click the button "Pair Controller to iPad" in SixPairMac. Now, open Blutrol on your iOS device and select the PS3 controller.
