      @Paholainen said in PS3 (Shenzhen Senze) controller:

      Tried it, did not work. Will try the controller on a PS3 to see if it connects at all.

      Controller works on a PS3.

          Don't know what to advise. You have updated RetroPie-Setup ? What version does it say ?

          Did you remove the driver first ? Please can you go through the steps you took in detail.

          Let's start with the official ps3 controller first.

            The official controller. Update script, there was no PS3 drivers installed only the Xpad, so I installed PS3, removed it, installed again. When I plug in the controller nothing happens, no lights. Unplug press "PS" all flashing rapidly for a while, then nothing. Now I can not remove the PS3 driver.

                  What happens when you try to remove ? How long did you wait ?

                  Please can you ssh in (https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/ssh) and post the output from

                  sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh ps3controller remove

                    The screen pops up a bit in the lower end, says removing. I´ve waited for about 2 minutes. Will try waiting while I install the ssh

                      I can reproduce that problem - looks like the service doesn't like stopping sometimes. I'm looking into it. If you reboot can you remove it ?

                            if you removed it - try reinstalling and when go to configure / and pair. I'm testing here. I don't have a fix for the remove freeze yet, but seems to happen only sometimes and a reboot helps. I think the initialisation scripts need redoing, but I was able to pair my ps3 controller last time I tried.

                              That ssh command just removes it - which you already did :-)
