Playing advanced games on your phone can be pretty frustrating sometimes. Touchscreen devices are great for everyday apps and games designed solely for them, but when it comes to games that require multiple actions in conjunction with directional movement, it gets ugly.
Just try playing FIFA 2012 on your iPhone and get back to me after you've thrown your phone out the window.
If you have a Samsung Galaxy S III, you can finally solve this problem by pairing your wireless PS3 remote to your phone. Of course, your S3 will need to be rooted for this.
Rooting Your Galaxy S3
To begin rooting, just make sure you have ODIN installed and download theCF Root File. Then just follow the video instructions below.
Download Sixaxis
When your phone is rooted, you'll need to download the Sixaxis Controllerapp from the Google Play Store. It'll run you $1.99. If you're trying this on a phone other than the Samsung Galaxy S3, you can use the free Sixaxis Compatibility Checker app to make sure it'll work. It must then be enabled in the Languages and Input settings.
Get the Right Adapter
To hook up your PlayStation 3 remote to your Galaxy S3, you'll need the charging cable that came with your S3, as well as a USB type A female to mini 5-pin type B male adapter. They cost no more than a couple bucks.
Connect!!!
Now, just follow the steps in this video below and you will finally be able to enjoy all the best games right on your Samsung Galaxy S III with your PS3 controller.
Good luck!
