      As above.
      Never used a PS3 controller etc. on here, just tried to connect a new 8bitdo Snes style controller via Retropie and it just seems to lock at this screen. Have updated the controller firmware to 4.0, still no luck.

      Any ideas please people?
      Cheers

        @lordbarker Did you check to see if the ps3 driver was installed though?

          Apologies I've remedied the issue now by updating Retropie :)

          Out of interest how do I set the Bluetooth Snes pad to player 2 and my wired Buffalo pad to player 1? Many thanks
