Galaxy Note 2 Bluetooth Keyboard Gaming How to GTA3 with USB BT Joystick Center 6 - Androidizen

Hello everyone. OK, today I'm going to show you something new you can do with the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 device. This works if you've got a Samsung Galaxy S3 and also if you've got the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 as well. In this case we are using the Galaxy Note 2 and a bluetooth keyboard. Now, what we're going to do, we're going to use a keyboard a separate peripheral, to control the phone. Specifically so we can play games on it. We'll use a WSAV set up enter keyshift and space so your standard kind of third person or first person shooter controls. Now to do this you need yourself a bluetooth keyboard, turn bluetooth on on your galaxy note 2 and ideally, to make this work properly, your phone needs to be rooted as well. If you do root your phone it tends to invalidate your warranty go do plenty of reading up before you try that, etcetera, all the usual warnings. Now, if your galaxy note 2 is rooted, you've got your bluetooth turned on, you've got your bluetooth keyboard pair your keyboard up with your device, I'm not going to bother going through all of those steps plenty of other guides out there for that it's a really straightforward process but basically switch that on to pairing mode, turn bluetooth on on your phone, select the keyboard, stick in the pairing code that it tells you to put in, you are done and paired. Now, you need a piece of software called USB BT joystick. That basically stands for USB or bluetooth joysticks. Now, what we're basically going to do, is we're going to use this Apple wireless keyboard and then we're going to map it to various touch controls, for the games we use, so we need another piece of software and this first piece of software, the USB bluetooth joystick controller will cost you about $2. The add-on server, which is known as touch server that is free. I'll put both of the links in the descriptions and you can go and grab those quickly and easily. Now once you've got everything paired up, you've got your software turned on, make sure you've got that yellow and that yellow and that's basically the IME which is the keyboard interface. This keyboard will overtake any of the controls of your on screen keyboard so a lot of your onscreen keyboard functionality just doesn't work properly. You need the bluetooth turned on, again the yellow marker there and this J to T, that's basically, the joystick to touch system. Make sure each of those is lit up and the Apple keyboard is available. You click on it and then press keys you should see they light up. This is good. This means everything is working fine. Now what we need to do is come down to the bottom here to touch, edit M, click on that and we're going to actually assign a key to it. We're going to assign the escape key to it. The reason for this is when we are actually in a game we need to map the onscreen touch actions of our fingers to the physical keyboard buttons. And to do that we need to bring up a special menu basically over the top of the galaxy note 2 game and in this case we're mapping it to this escape key. OK, once you've got that done, then we go and fire up a game. So, press escape and this brings up our touch controls. You can see I've already got some setup galaxy note 2 and I'll just show you this is working pretty nicely. pretty nicely. So I'm the one controlling it, you can see my hands here, I've not got a joystick off screen or anything like that, that I'm doing this with. This is all being controlled with the keyboard. Got my run button, my punch button, getting into vehicles, everything you need basically, is mapped there and ready to be used. So how do you do it? So first, you bring up this touch control.Now, we'll get rid of some of these options first. For those people who use this, I've found that actually working out how to delete the damn things was harder than adding them It seems noone has done a guide about how to change these buttons over. So the idea basically is that you are kind of mapping where a touch button would be required and than getting rid of it basically. Or in this case adding it. galaxy note 2 Basically to get rid of them you just need to touch the location where they are. while pressing the button down it triggers it. Press. OK. So this is now a clean panel. If you look... it is still remembering them for now, but basically to add these on all you need to do for your first key, whichever your forward key is, press and hold that down and then tap somewhere in the region as to where the onscreen touch joystick will appear. So in this case it's going to be around this area. But make sure you don't put it too close to the side of the screen, otherwise you'll find you don't get a full range of movement available. So in this case we're going to pop it there. So now if I do this, you should see, that these are moving. That indicator is now moving. The other buttons around it are not so that is working for WAS and D setup. Perfect. So if I come out of this and that's working. You can see when your overlay appears, where my finger indicator would normally be on screen that instead it's sending the necessary keyboard command to move me forward. And it will even work for the diagonals as well. So then what you need to do... set up our run button and jump button. Let's do jump first. Press and hold down space and long press where you want that button to appear. A jump, let's do one. Shift, punch it in and for getting in to a car, let's go with Let's see if we can hop into a car and we'll also put the driving controls in as well. Some games work better than others for this, it has to be said. So no need for Speed Most Wanted. It's a little bit too sensitive, I found, the controlling system to really work well on a keyboard which is a shame. For first-person, third-person shooters work excellently though so now we're into the car, let's get away from here. Before they try to take the car back from us. So you go into there. And actually you can see some of the buttons are still actually viable in this new layout which is nice, we just need to add all in one for bullets. galaxy note 2 So let's do that one. One option, that one, Shooting out of the window. And there we have it. And that is basically everything you need to, whoops, everything you need to be able to play Grand Theft Auto using the keyboard. How easy is that? Like I say, you can use this with pretty much any game as long as you're able to emulate the touch settings on the top. So, once you've got all of your controls set up. for your galaxy note 2 driving for shooting out of windows, that's it, you've got Grand Theft Auto available. You can now play it comfortably using the keyboard and mouse, and loads and loads of other games. A few people have been doing stuff online showing that, you know, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and the Samsung Galaxy S3 re phenomenal personal computing devices as well as mobile devices that, you know, once you hook these up to a large screen you've got something equivalent to a modest games console. I just think, in a year's time or so what would it be capable of. Would anyone really want an Xbox or Playstation when they can have one device and just hook it up to a screen, keyboard, mouse joystick and off we roll! Personally, I don't think I'll be buying a games console again. This is absolutely fantastic. There you have it. Grand Theft Auto or any game you fancy if you're willing to spend a bit of time setting it up played on your mobile phone, using your keyboard. Easy as that galaxy note 2. In a future video I'm going to show you what happens when we hook it up to a galaxy note 2 very large monitor or a TV and do a little bit of personal gaming in the living room.
