Sixaxis Controller Demo!

STEP 1 - Your Device Must be Rooted!

OK, Lets get Started!

In order for the Sixaxis Controller App to work your device must be 'Rooted'. I am not going to go into Rooting here as every device is different and there are plenty of resources out there to help you.

If you don't know what this means check out this article from Android Authority, 'Rooting for Dummies'

I highly recommend searching the XDA Developers Forums for specific instructions on rooting your particular device. 

Feel free to leave a comment or post a question on our Forum if you are unsure about rooting your particular device, I, or other helpful members of this blog may be able to point you in the right direction! :-)

Happy Rooting!
