Problem with Batoh PS3 controller
-
Hi all,
I'm trying to pair a new ps3 controller but it doesn't work either via USB and bouetooth.
When connected via USB it's not detected in emulationstation but is listed in usb device:pi@retropie:~ $ lsusb Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 009: ID 054c:0268 Sony Corp.

I found this old thread but I don't understand how can I solve this issue.
Could you help me?My system is:
Retropie 4.7.20
raspberry pi4 2GB
PSU 5V 3A
uSD Samsung 32GB -

In the old topic the issue was with RPI's Bluetooth packages, but the controller was working via USB. Did you enable support the 3rd party controllers, as the poster from the other topic has done ? See https://retropie.org.uk/docs/PS3-Controller/#using-the-retropie-shell-to-configure-the-ps3-controller-bluetooth-connection-for-sixaxis.

Yes, I follow exactly the tutorial and my old controller worked very well. I bought a new controller to replace the broken one and I cannot pair it any more.
I upgraded the whole system and reinstalled sixaxis. Then I enabled third party controller but won’t work.
Windows recognise usb controller.
Can I try to do something else? -
If you test the controller with
jstest- while connected over USB - does it work, do you get any reaction when pressing the buttons/moving the joysticks ? -

When I connect it to usb no js0 file is present in /dev/input/ while if I connect another wired controller js0 appears. -
Can you post the
dmesgoutput taken after connecting the controller ? Runsudo dmesg -c # plug in the controller dmesgthen post the result of the last
dmesgcommand.
You may try removing thesixaxisdriver and see if it works without it, the new controller may have a different firmware that does not need the quirks/3rd party controller option. -

Looking at the log, looks like the controller doesn't support all the PS3 features and the
sony-hiddriver is not able to initialize it.
Normally you'd use thecustomhisonydriver in RetroPie-Setup and thesixaxismodule to make it work, if that doesn't work then I'm afraid there's no workaround to make it function properly.As a last resort, you can try the
ps3controllerdriver, but note that it will disable the Linux Bluetooth stack, so you won't be able to connect other Bluetooth gamepads. -

Thecustomhisonydriver is already installed or I have to install it? -

You can also install it manually from the
driverssection in RetroPie-Setup. -
