      Hi

      I'am reinstalled the retropie (updated to lastest of today) in my Pi3 B+, but after installation not is posible pair DS4 controller.

      Tried with this guide: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/PS4-Controller/

      Any help plz? maybe linux kernel downgrade required? https://gist.github.com/psyke83/cb3ca50561480809c246f42727cb7cf2

      PD: sorry for my bad english :S

        That shouldn't be needed, it was a temporary solution for a kernel issue that was fixed long time ago.
        What exactly doesn't work ? Is the controller not detected when scanning ? Is the controller still in 'pairing mode' (flashing light) when you pair it ? The DS4 has the tendency to shut down before you get to press the pair action.

          WIth regular bluetooth the controller (s) -two DS4- not aren't detected. On pair -press PS button and light bar is pairing...- but not show any controller in the bluetooth list.

          With de driver ds4drv equals, not detect the controller only when connect by cable USB.

          All steps of the guide replicated and nothing works... but, in my old version of retropie all worked correctly... :(

            Pairing a DS4 is started by pressing the Share + PS buttons for 3 seconds, the led should pulse rapidly. If you press only the PS buttons, then the controllers is not in pairing mode.
