Happy Chick is a Chinese app that offers a fully integrated system of emulators for Android Smartphone, Android TV-Box, iOS or Windows PC, controller configurator and ROM download manager. It is compatible with a USB or BT Gamepad, although Xbox One controllers can only be used via cable. While the provided Firestick remote does work for navigation within Happy Chick, it is not ideal for gaming. This paragraph will discuss the steps required to connect an Xbox One controller to Happy Chick.

Connecting Xbox One controller via cable

Happy Chick is a Chinese app that offers a fully integrated system of emulators for Android Smartphone, Android TV-Box, iOS or Windows PC, controller configurator, and ROM download manager. It is compatible with a USB or BT Gamepad, although Xbox One controllers can only be used via a cable.

To connect your Xbox One controller via cable, you will first need to install the Happy Chick app on your device. For iOS devices, you must first install a third-party app store called Emus4U. For Android devices, you can install the app directly from the Happy Chick website.

Once the app is installed, open it and enter the category of games that interests you. Search for the game you want to play and install it. After the game is installed, you will need to launch it and connect your Xbox One controller using the cable.

Please note that the steps to connect your controller may vary depending on your specific device and operating system. Additionally, the on-screen prompts and interface may differ slightly. However, once the controller is successfully connected, you will typically see a prompt within the game indicating that the connection was successful.

It is important to note that the Happy Chick emulator has a specific version for the Android TV-Box that is designed to be used with a gamepad. This makes it easier to use the emulator with a physical controller.

Using Bluetooth to connect

Happy Chick is a game emulator that is compatible with almost any device. It is possible to connect an Xbox One controller to the Happy Chick app using Bluetooth, but it is important to note that the Xbox One controller cannot be connected to the app via Bluetooth on an Android TV-Box.

To connect your Xbox One controller to the Happy Chick app using Bluetooth, first ensure that your Xbox One controller is Bluetooth-enabled. Then, access your phone's settings and activate Bluetooth. Typically, this option can be found in the "Connections" or "Bluetooth" section. Next, press and hold the "Xbox" button on the controller to turn it on. Once the controller is on, press and hold the "Sync" button for three seconds until the Xbox button flashes. This indicates that the controller is now discoverable.

On your phone, locate the controller in the list of available devices. It may appear as "Wireless Controller" or a similar option. Tap on the controller to initiate the pairing process and follow any on-screen instructions to complete the pairing. Once the pairing is successful, the Xbox button on the controller will remain lit.

Finally, launch the Happy Chick app on your phone and start a game. You should see a prompt indicating that your controller is successfully connected. Now, you can use your Xbox One controller for gaming on the Happy Chick app.

Setting up Xbox One controller on Happy Chick for iOS

To set up an Xbox One controller on Happy Chick for iOS, you will need to follow a few steps. Firstly, you must install Happy Chick on your iOS device. This requires installing a third-party app store called Emus4U, as Happy Chick cannot be directly installed from the Apple App Store.

Once you have installed Happy Chick, you can launch the app. You will need to start by selecting the category of games that interest you, searching for a game, and installing it. After this, you will be able to launch the game.

To connect your Xbox One controller, you will need to use a cable as Xbox controllers are not compatible with Bluetooth on iOS. Simply plug the controller into your device, and it should be automatically detected. You may need to restart the app or your device if the controller is not recognised.

Happy Chick will display a prompt inside the game to indicate that your controller is successfully connected. You can now use your Xbox One controller to play games on Happy Chick.

Using a phone as a controller

Happy Chick is a Chinese app that offers a fully integrated system of emulators for Android Smartphone, Android TV-Box, iOS or Windows PC, controller configurator and ROM download manager. It is compatible with a USB or BT Gamepad, with Xbox 360 and PS4/3 type controllers being the most compatible.

To use a phone as a controller with Happy Chick, you will first need to install the Happy Chick Virtual Controller app on your phone. Then, ensure that your internet connection on your mobile device is the same as your Firestick’s network. On your TV screen, Happy Chick will ask you to use your phone as your controller. Scan the QR code presented. Once the scan is complete, tap "Browse website".

Next, on the Happy Chick Virtual Controller app, tap the TV and mobile phone connection status button. A message in Chinese characters will be displayed, indicating the network that you are connected to. If the connection status button is highlighted in green, your mobile app has now detected your Firestick. You can now try moving the Directional pad (D-pad) button in any direction to navigate your control on the Happy Chick app on your Firestick.

If you are connecting a PS4 controller to the Happy Chick app, you should see "Wireless Controller" or a similar option on your phone. Tap it to initiate the pairing process and follow any on-screen prompts to finalize the pairing process. Once successful, the light bar on the controller will cease flashing and remain lit. Launch the Happy Chick app on your phone and you will see a prompt inside the game indicating that your controller is successfully connected.

Please note that the steps and interface may vary slightly depending on your specific phone model and its operating system.

Connecting a second controller

To connect a second controller, follow these steps:

• Ensure that your first controller is already connected and set up with Happy Chick.
• Launch the Happy Chick app on your device.
• Navigate to the Happy Chick home screen.
• From the home screen, access the “Manage” menu.
• Within the "Manage" menu, locate and select “Handler Connection”.
• This selection will initiate the process of connecting your second controller.
• Follow any on-screen prompts or instructions provided by Happy Chick to finalise the pairing process.
• Once the connection is successful, you will receive a confirmation within the app.

It is important to note that the specific steps for connecting a second controller may vary slightly depending on your device and controller type. Additionally, the interface and options within the Happy Chick app may differ slightly across various operating systems.
