BlueStacks Android Emulator Showcase with FULL Controller Support (III, VC, SA, LCS, and CW)
0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjOf_oF7Fgk - Nox Android Emulator Showcase with TERRIBLE Controller Support and On Screen Buttons mapped to a PS3 Controller.
At the VERY BEGINNING and VERY END of the Video I show that by going to the SETTINGS, then to GAMEPAD, if you go to the Drop Down Menu and change it from Auto to On, your Controller works flawlessly with ANY of the five GTA Ports on Android. Funny thing is, it seems every time I close BlueStacks and reopen it, I have to continuously change Auto to On. But THIS is the reason why I didn't think III, VC, LCS, or CW worked before unless I once again mapped out On Screen Buttons as Controls. For some reason, having it on Auto will only have SA working with your Controller but NOT the others, but if it's ON, then ALL of the Ports will work with a Controller.
Some things are not perfect, but they are still logical. For instance, on PS2, to zoom in and out of a Sniper Rifle or the Camera, it's X and Square, but through BlueStacks, you use L2 and R2. Those are at least still LOGICAL Buttons to use, but not EXACTLY as PS2 is like. When it comes to majority of Buttons and Controls, though, 99% of them are as they should be. For LCS, the Buttons are also mapped out a bit differently, even more strange compared to III, VC, SA, or CW, but they still work and are logical. Notice how all of a sudden, because I am using a Controller, I am able to SWIVEL that damn Unique Maverick in my LCS Save. With Touch Screens? You can't do that. The On Screen Buttons on your Device just LIGHT UP when you press them, but there is NO EFFECT to the damn Maverick. Using a Controller through BlueStacks, now it works. I remember when people said EVEN WITH A CONTROLLER that the Unique/AP Hunter wouldn't be possible. ...I sort of want to disagree now that I am using a Controller because my Select Button WORKS and it's not SELECT, but instead the DOWN Button on the D-Pad (what it's mapped out to be, as I said, LCS is a bit strange and not mapped out correctly, but still works if you get used to it).
Notice how in CW, I am able to fly the Unique Polmav FORWARD which is NOT POSSIBLE on Android/iOS with Touch Screen Controls. I guess it is with a Controller through BlueStacks like this. Usually, it only can fly sideways to get places, but you can fly it sideways AND forward on Mobile like you HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO DO on PSP. PSP has a D-Pad but Mobile doesn't. Using my Controller, I am able to do this. Cool.
I am using Version 1.6 for GTA III, 1.09 for VC, 2.00 for SA, 2.4 for LCS, and 1.01 for CW. If you are using Nox, you CAN'T USE 1.09 for VC and 2.00 for SA because it only runs Android 5 while BlueStacks runs Android 7, which is needed for Version 1.09 VC and Version 2.00 SA.
I wish I knew all of this some months back when I was assembling my NEW Saves for III, VC, LCS, and CW since I struggled with Controls, but still managed in the end. It wasn't easy. Now? If I had to redo it? Yeah, I could even do BETTER since I wouldn't be struggling with the Controls like I was before! With that said, I am glad SA works and will be able to redo my Starter Save and 100% Save over from scratch. I'll start working on that stuff next, after I finish off 10 remaining Thumbnails/Descriptions for my VCS Special Vehicle Guide and then 32 of them for CW. I also have 32 of them or so for TLaD and TBoGT is being worked on right now. I'll likely hold off with working on and finishing TLaD/TBoGT until after I do my SA Mobile Save Work. We'll see. Maybe I can do TLaD/TBoGT while I work on the Save, thus only leaving IV and V for the future to have Custom Thumbnails and REMADE Descriptions for.
The SA Starter Save and 100% Save I CURRENTLY have will be considered OLD and JUNK to me once I finish my NEW Work. If anyone is interested, I can share the old 13.90% Starter Save and 100% Save with 57 Special Vehicles once I finish off the new Work, just like I did already III, VC, LCS, and CW some months back.
Other than SA Mobile, I also have plans for doing work with GTA III, VC, and SA, but for the DEFINITIVE EDITIONS, but not until I get my new PC later down the line which will have Windows 10 or 11 and much better Specs all around. Note that I have Version 1.01 or 1.02 for the DE Versions. It's NOT 1.03 or above, since 1.03 is where the DP Conversion is COMPLETELY PATCHED and no way of adding DP to any of the Vehicles anymore. I also will then look into RPCS3 and get all of that working on my PC, and showing some testing Videos and such!
BlueStacks is the way to go. Nox is terrible. I can't believe it took this long to make the switch!
Just if LCS ran that smoothly on PPSSPP and PCSX2...LOL...
