Install Sixaxis on an old Raspi 3b+

pscotto1234

Hi all,
I resumed my old Retropie installed on a Raspberry pi 3b+.
I would like to pair a couple of PS3 controller but I cannot install sixaxis driver because of the raspbian os that is no longer supported.
Is there a way to install sixaxis and all his dependencies in a way other than by Retropie setup script?

What version is your RetroPie ? Try please to add as much info you can : https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@abj here info I can add:

Pi Model or other hardware: 3B+
Power Supply used: original raspberry 5V 3A
RetroPie Version Used: 4.7
Built From: clean retropie image and customized with a personal theme.

Please, tell me if you need more info and what.
Thanks in advance.

4.7 is not that old, but what's the image you've used to install ? What's the actual error you get when trying to install sixaxis ?

@mitu how can I log errors when I try to install sixaxis?

@pscotto1234 You can either look in $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/logs and unpack the latest log file or just post the error you're seeing on screen.

@mitu ok, thanks. I'll give it a try as soon as possible and I'll post log here.
Thanks for help.

I tried to launch Retropie Setup script and I am not able to launch it anymore. This is the log I had:
