Mini-console (Play GTA SA on Android on a TV with a PS3 controller)

[Lambo_car16 5]

Hey guys,

 

Today, I figured out that I could play GTA San Andreas from my Android phone onto my TV (direct input, no lag or anything) AND play it with a wireless PS3 controller. Pretty cool if you ask me, for everyone that doesn't want to buy a console just to play GTA SA on a big screen.

 

Also, if you have a newer device, you can max-out the graphics. This also plays in 1080p, which is cool.

 

If anyone would like a guide/tutorial, just ask me, if I get some requests I will write one.

 

Here is a little demo:

What was basically happened in the video was I was looking at my TV in-front of me playing GTA San Andreas, which was running on my phone, and my PS3 controller was connected to my phone. So it's basically a console.

 

Also, I'm not sure if this is in the right section.

 

Thanks for reading!

This is actually pretty cool. I have the iPhone 6, and was thinking about getting Chinatown Wars for it and going for 100% with the EC and BP Vehicles in my Collection. If I could play it on my TV from my Phone with my PS3 Controller, that'd be badass!!!!

It is indeed quite cool, although it would work differently on iOS. It's possible though.

You will have to look around though, to see if the iOS version of GTA SA supports controllers (and which ones).

Is the video broken?

Edit: It wasn't, fixed now!

Well, the only Mobile Game I'd get is CTW, cuz I got all the other GTA Games for PS2/3, all played on my backward compatible PS3. But if CTW can do what you are doing with SA, that'd be amazing...

I will have a look at Chinatown tomorrow.

Probably not, considering iOS is pretty closed-source.

There is. But it requires Jailbreaking. (LOL! iOS sucks)

Mobile sucks, in general!

Meh. I won't take my complete TV + PS2 or PC to play GTA in the train etc. Lol

I know when I am using my phone in a car, for instance and looking down at it, I get dizzy and nauseous. I wouldn't even want to play GTA on Mobile while in a car or on a train. I like playing in the comfort of my own home...

Lol it was an example. I am car dick (i believe it's called like that?) And i get dizzy in a car, especially when not looking out of the windows. I usually do it only at home or sometimes at school breaks

[Lethal Vaccine 7,181]

Yeah, if you're at home......Buy a PC or Console with all GTA Games!

I have a PC. But i play other games there

[Lethal Vaccine 7,181]

Of course you have a PC, but if you have a GOOD PC, it can run all the GTA's at optimum conditions. Then you can have III, VC, and SA...Plus IV, TLaD, TBoGT, and V (soon) for PC. As for LCS and VCS, you can use an emulator. There is an SA Mod that changes the Game to VCS, if I recall correctly.

 

But at the end of the day, the big bad backward compatible PS3 is king since it plays and saves ALL the GTA Games. 9 of my GTA Games go to my PS3 and 1 goes to Mobile (CTW).

[HeroBrineR007 526]

I have a GOOD pc. It can handle GTA IV with max settings and ENB shaders at 60+ FPS.

 

Let's not drag it off topic.

[Lethal Vaccine 7,181]

If that's the case, then get all the GTA's and play them on PC

 

True. We are going off topic now. See ya later
