      Pi Model: 3B
      RetroPie Version Used: 3.6.0
      Built From: SD Image
      USB Devices connected: internal
      Controller used: Ps3
      Error messages received:
      if i press F4 and then type
      systemctl start bluetooth

      i get this message

      Failed to start bluetooth.service: Access denied

      I have tried to update both with sudo apt-get install pi-bluetooth
      it says i have the latest drivers
      and also ive tried to update bluez

      i have no ideas left on what to try can i do anything or do i just have to wait untill retropie comes out with a version that works for my pi3?

        have you installed the ps3 sixpair driver ? That will disable the bluetooth stack (they don't work together)

            Simply put.
            Bluetooth functionality and any PS3 driver are not going to work together.
