I got a dualshock 4 controller for $10 that had pretty bad joystick shaking that I just opened up and cleaned really well, which (mostly) fixed it. I tried playing some games on PC, but I want to try some stuff on my phone now, couldn’t find an app that wasn’t crashing or that didn’t require a mac/windows pc to work, so I want to see if someone out there knows of an app like that. My phone is a OnePlus 9 running android 14.
If there is nothing good out there then it’s cool, just wanted to try for fun and I know asking on forums is better than whatever some search optimized article or a 5-year-old reddit post can offer.
Retroarch and Steam Link both have android apps and support controller mapping, but I don’t know of any OS-level tools.
Don’t have experience with either app but it kind of looks like a way to play games from other platforms on android, I was trying to play android games with a controller because some have controls that are weird to play with on screen.
My other option at this point might be PC emulators of android, but none of them are as good as windows emulators (like BlueStacks) on linux
ah, yeah, if you have an android game without built-in controller support then you’re out of luck right now, sorry.
