4joy - Remote Game Controller for Android
4joy is an emulator of REAL JOYSTICK, which is identified by PC as real Plug and play device.
UPD. For now only works on x86 (32bit) Windows - XP/7/8 !
4joy allows you to play different games which require gamepad, steering wheel, joystick or other devices. You can connect your phone via Bluetooth or Wifi (not yet available) with your PC just in one step and play in your favorite games.
It uses all facilities of your android device such as multitouch screen, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetic sensor and other stuff to make the game real fun.
And it is NOT emulator of keyboard or mouse - PC recognizes it as REAL gamepad ! You just need to choose it in your game settings, configure it as you wish, and play how you wish! There is nothing different in setup real gamepad and 4joy.
Instruction:
1. Download, extract and install 4joy Server on your PC

2. Establish connection via Bluetooth between them
3. Play!
More instructions (if required) are inside.
* You can use volume buttons as L-R bumper, trigger or shift buttons(actually whatever-you-want buttons). To comfortably use them you can rotate your screen. It wouldn't rotates by itself, you just need to choose in menu "Rotate screen"(only avaliable on Android 2.2 an higher)
!!!!!!! FAQ and common problems
1.Client Shows Error "Unable to Connect"
- The most common problem.This mean that connection is not established. There are a few ways to fix it:
1. The simpliest -you don't installed server - You NEED to install it !(if you want to set connection and play in your favourite games, of course))
2. The unluckiest - you don't have Bluetooth- there is nothing to do with it - 4Joy for now only works via bluetooth.
3. Problem with server - something went wrong with it.
- Try to reset connection (button with arrows in right bottom corner of server (PC) window)
- Try to restart server - reboot your system.
- Try to reinstall PC server.
4. Problem with pairing - something went wrong with paired devices.
- Delete your paired PC from paired devices list on Android device and Vice Versa on Android- phone.
- Try to pair them again!
* During server installation there will be installed our driver.But it is unsigned, and therefore, according to firewall, dangerous.We recommend ignore this groundless warnings and proceed installation. I swear with.. Bieber live that there is nowthing wrong with it.
*If you have any questions or problems - email us, or just write it in comments. We hope you enjoy our free software.
Hello to the company who have develop this app. So i want to tell you somethingh this app is fantastic but i hope that it wilk come a another keyboard like pc key board. So i have a game its called tanki online its on internet it is very fantastic game and my pc key board its now to old so it has some problem. I hope it wikk come a update for it. Thanks to company.
It seems like a got app but I have a 64 bit and it dosent work :(.Can you make it for 64 bit to make half of us don't have to worry. btw keep up the good work :)
It works but my windows doesn't recognize it as a Joystick! I want you to help me out! Plz help me angry potato!
I have doubt in this app but can I ask you something ?.. Can I use this to control other Phone ? to play games obviously.. I'm so excited to install this app EDIT : Nevermind
How would I set up to use my phone as a controller for my android TV box?
It cant connect to my tablets.. Although both of them was paring..help me plz
Plzz can u give option of wick also
I downloaded it on the website but it doesn't work pls help
Your site is offline. Can't get server client renders this app useless.
It is so excited to steer on Need For Speed because the game could optimize the control for this joystick However, in some racing game, let say, Lego racers 2, could not be used by this steering function. The steering is set as z-rotation axis. Some racing games "locked" x-axis/ y-axis as default for any analog joystick control. And there is no way to change. It would be better if steering function for this app could be modified concerning x/y/z axes.
Tried to connect several times but didnt work, and both devices were connected by bluetooth...tried several times and turning on/off bluetooth But ended with app crashes on my computer. Its sad because description says its a true plug and play controller...not just another app that will use your binds from keyboard.
There is almost a 2 second delay everytime I make an action. Can I use this for Fifa 15 Pc?
Awesome idea, especially with tilt steering function, just not functional with my devices. Waiting for updates. Please, soon!!!! I'm trying to play BB Racing split screen for head to head competition. I downloaded and installed client / server software on my Galaxy s3 phone / windows 8.1 PC x86 64bit. It will not recognize that the bluetooth is activated on my PC. It will not connect to my android S3 phone. Need 64 bit support before this will work. I would prefer if it allowed the server software to be installed on Android tablet (galaxy note) rather than my PC where I have to install a Android emulator (bluestacks) to play the game.
Its Finally working now!
Its not working.even though I paired
"Not a keyboard emulator", fine, but if the system doesn't even recognize it as a controller it doesn't do much good. Not all games have a generic "gamepad" profile in them. I'm sure it works great, it's very responsive on the device. But it doesn't work with any of my games.
The Controllers appers well but when I try to connect pressing Connect>Bluetooth an error appears saying "The Application Settings (process Com.Android.settings) has stopped working unexpectedly. Please try again"
the problem of this app is the bluetooth connection..it's always telling me that "bluetooth's power off!"..i can't connect this app to my laptop! even i followed the all instructions..AND PLS. CREATE PC CLIENT FOR 64BIT! AND WIFI CONNECTION! 2star for the layout of controller its good looking!
It will not let me connect via bluetooth
Dont fool people
