      @edmaul69 I found for 4.4 to use a ps3 controller, you have to install the old ps3 controller driver first to connect and then uninstall it.

        So yeah i think if you plug in stuff after the fact its an issue with retroarch. Keeping everything plugged in seems to work as it should.

          @lostless so i installed the driver. If i keep it installed it shows up but asks for a 4 digit pin. If i unistall the ps3 driver, it still finds it but gives me an error when i try to connect it. I get an “org.bluez.Error.ConnectionAttemtFailed: Page Timeout”

            @edmaul69 you have to sync from the driver itself.

                  Just tested the latest merge with retroarch 1.7.3 with the mods, old usb port functionality is now working. Thanks

                                  I was able to successfully update too, but only gripe is that it messed with my Game remap files for FBA. It changed my Strong Kick and Punch buttons. Nothing to serious but still a little annoying.

                                    @redbatman The new version has a new format for the remap files - so any remapping will need to be redone. Nothing that we can do about that I'm afraid.

                                        I figured out the remapping, but it’s a logical nightmare. No sign on which player you are changing. It’s also based off the auto config numbers on your controller, no longer the system button letters. I don’t see how it’s “better” but thats a complaint to the Libretro guys.
