Android devices are powerful enough to enjoy some 3D and actions games, they are just missing some cool joysticks for maximal control. Thanks to sleepless ninja on xda-developers.com and deadhp1 on armtvtech.com forum we now have a kernel module to support the XBOX 360 controller for Android and RK3066 based devices.
We have made an ArcTools package with this module for easy installation. This first version is built to work on RK3066 based devices, we should also add support for other devices such as RK2918 based tablets in the near future. The instructions shown in this article were successfully tested on the MK808 Mini PC and the Cube U30GT-MINI 7″ tablet.

Hey, I’ve finally managed to fix it, thanks man, you’re great, it works for the wired xbox controller, confirmed.
That’s good to know, thanks for confirming
Cheers.
This works great with my wired xbox controller but I cant do ‘step 5′. Xbox service isn’t there. Every time when i restart my device i have to install the module again.
Please help
does it work with a wired xbox controller?
I don’t have one, I don’t know.
So, this should work on MK802 III, correct?
Similar plateform to the MK808, should work, provided you run a rooted firmware.
it do not work for me i try to install it 10 times it seen that install but when i go to tools is not there can some one help me
Do you run a rooted firmware with SuperSU app installed ? Did you get the Superuser request with Grant / Deny option ?
Same problem here, I’ve tried to install it about 10 times too, but the grant and deny Superuser dialogue box doesn’t appear, can you help me out please
I also have the SuperSU app installed by the way, I’m a noob so bare with me.
The RK3066 is rooted as far as I know, I’ve used Moborobo and SuperOneClick.
This is the model I’m using:

Thanks in advance.
Great idea for the 80XS…
Have you testing on Gen9 ?
I have successfully instaled arctools on my mk808 and my xbox 360 controller is working fine. I am able to navigate the menus but I am not able to play any games with my controller.
I tried plants vs zombies and also NFS Most Wanted but I am only able to go to the Pause Menu and back on both the games nothing else works..
IS there any other setting I need to do launching the game?
