        sorry for my delayed answer. Did you try to remove the existing/ broken controller using bluetoothctl?

        Meanwhile I have patched the latest bluez-5.40 release and pushed it to my github repo https://github.com/luetzel/bluez/tree/bluez-5.40

        It compiled without errors and I successfully paired both of my PS3 clones at the same time.
        According to 5.40's Changelog it fixes some issues "with previously paired devices" whatever that means.

        Cheers,
        /luetzel

          @luetzel no probs man!

          Erm,I think I built a new system which I never paired the old (broken) controller with...as far as I can remember.

          Do you think that it comes up as 'input4' could be an issue?Although strange that I don't get any response from button presses with 'jstest'.

          'According to 5.40's Changelog it fixes some issues "with previously paired devices" whatever that means'

          Hahah..mysterious!

          I'll give the new patched bluez a go and see what happens on this never-ending quest to carry on my Donkey Kong adventures....

            No I don't think that 'input4' is a problem. My first controller pairs as input0, the second as input1 and so on. I guess that the numbering is related to the other input devices that are already paired when you connect your controller. My bluetooh keyboard appears as input2 and it doesn't really matter in what order I pair my devices.

              @luetzel OK, that makes sense.

              I just got this error when doing the 'make -j3' for your Bluez 5.40.

              monitor/main.c:36:28: fatal error: src/shared/tty.h: No such file or directory

                Hi @Wolfman100 ,
                oops, sorry didn't notice that these files were missing after merging with the 5.40 branch.
                Please clone the master branch (git clone https://github.com/luetzel/bluez) and try it again.
                Should be fixed now.
                Cheers,

                    OK,so I got the Bluez Master to Make and Install fine.The controller Pairs no problem,but still can't configure controls.

                    Here is my 'dmesg' output...looks like the same controller is registered three times....could this be part of the issue?It looks like the same controller is simultaneously input 0,input 4 and input 5 at the same time.I saw you mentioned removing controllers earlier,how do I do this?

                        Hi @Wolfman100
                        for removing the controller, simply use sudo bluetoothctl. 'help' will list all possible commands. Then, remove your device with
                        'remove <dev>' (replace <dev> with the hardware address of your controller). Then, try to pair it again using sixpair.

                          Well it seem's that under bluetoothctl their is only one controller paired,so I don't understand how when I do a 'dmesg' I get three different controllers with different inputs.I'm a bit lost here....

                            @luetzel I just tried to run sixpair with the controller plugged in and got:

                            osmc@osmc:~$ sixpair
usb_claim_interface: Operation not permitted

                            And now when disconetting my controller it won't stop rumbling!!!SO I had to disconnect it via 'bluetoothctl'

                              What happens if you run sudo sixpair? And whats your distro? I cannot reproduce this behavior on my Pis.

                                @luetzel ooooohhhh no...here we go again!

                                My distribution is OSMC,RetroPie is installed as RetrOSMC.

                                ANy idea what the 'usb_claim_interface: operation' is?I'm assuming it's for Sixpair to read the USB input?

                                  @Wolfman100 erm......feel like an idiot.Was missing root permission.

                                  sudo sixpair

                                  fixed it:

                                  Current Bluetooth master: b8:27:eb:a1:9b:7f
Setting master bd_addr to b8:27:eb:a1:9b:7f

                                  Still not playing ball though.Pairs fine...no response in JsTest

                                    After doing some further research some people are suggesting that the package 'raspberrypi-sys-mods' is required.

                                    When attempting to install the package however it cannot be found:

                                    osmc@osmc:~$ sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-sys-mods

                                      IMHO the package raspberrypi-sys-mods doesn't exist on osmc. You have to add the Raspbian repo to your apt sources.list in order to install it.

                                      Your problem might be related to the fact, that Kodi 16 indeed blocks input for joypads if it doesn't run on x11.

                                        @luetzel I've only ever been using Kodi 16 and the other controller worked fine.ALso RetroPie detects the pad but just doesn't respond to any input.....why oh why is this all such a nightmare?

                                        I think that link is also just referring to people using a controller to control Kodi,which makes sense.I am however trying to use the controller within RetroPie which is running on OSMC,something which worked flawlessly before thanks to your knowledge and extended help.

                                          @luetzel I'm just curious as to what info 'dmesg' is showing me as I seem to have multiple controllers listed..even though only 1 controller is paired.

                                          Is it showing me all previous pairings with the bottom one being the latest or does it actually think all these controllers are paired?

                                            More investigation:

                                            Although the PS3 controller is paired with OSMC I don't think it's pairing with Bluez:

                                            I disconnectd the controller using 'bluetothctl' and then reconnected it.It is stated as 'connected' but NOT paired.When attempting to pair it with 'bluetoothctl' it fails to pair:

                                            Although it is shown as paired with OSMC network settings.
