I ordered a USB micro to USB adaptor from Amazon for $3 and it works great. I already used my ps3 controller with it Cordy worked without changing any settings. All I had to do in Snesoid was do key mappings. I have Prime so I got the product in 2 days so I didn't have to wait very long.

The only other game I tried was Riptide but it didn't work so maybe they will update the game to allow controller support. Of course the only downside is the controller has to be plugged in.

Thanks for the feedback. My one gripe is that the USB port is on the bottom of the Xoom which means all the cables and adapters protrude from the bottom meaning using a stand is virtually impossible. Maybe Motorola will release a USB dock.
 
ya I'm gonna look for some sort of a picture stand that will let the usb and power cord still be hooked up. I'f I'm using my tv as the display then it won't matter.
 
I bought that same adapter, but like the reviews say, it doesn't act as a host... meaning the controllers don't work with it. Not sure how you got it to work. I tried multiple USB devices, none were recognized.
 
Thats weird. It also reads my digital camera and asks if I want to import my pictures. If I get time I'll do a video later.
 
It could also be a hit-or-miss type thing. I saw another adapter with reviews saying that some were made with the 4th pin grounded, some weren't. You won't find out until you get it and it does/doesn't work.
