      We have the controllers that came with this:

      https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MG38CG8/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&th=1

      I've gone through the steps here:

      https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Setting-up-a-PS3-controller

      I've used the commandline to run the retropie_setup.sh script and configure wireless and bluetooth, and also the controllers. They are registered, and also connect at boot, which I can only find out by going into the retropie_setup.sh. They show as connected in "configuration / tools" > "bluetooth" > "Display Registered & Connected Bluetooth Devices".

      However, whenever I start emulationstation (command line or reboot) the screen says that no controllers are found.

      Is it possible these controllers are not compatible? Do I need additional drivers?

        Did you try installing the "udev" rule from the bluetooth configuration ?

            I will need to see the output of dmesg and ls -la /dev/input (Please use an external site like https://paste.ubuntu.com/ or use a code block to format on the forum - http://commonmark.org/help/)

            It may well be that they just won't work. I recommend the 8bitdo Bluetooth controllers which work nicely.

              @BuZz Oh good! I didn't know I could use markdown here--It's not in the editor gui. Since I only have command line right now, it will take me a little bit to figure out how to get you the text. Probably rsync up somewhere and pull it back down.

                When posting there is "compose ?" at the top right which mentioned it.

                      was the joystick / joypad connected at this point ? (Can check via the bluetooth menu)

                        @BuZz We just already have them, and it would be nice to not have to add to the plastic + electronics in the house. And $$.

                          @BuZz Yes. When I went to the screen to see if they were connected it showed them as connected.

                          Hmmm. How do you save a screen image of a ncurses interface from the command line? If you want I'll search that out and post an image.

                          (I can only post every 120s)

                            if they are connected, they are not showing up as input devices and I saw little in dmesg. output of cat /var/log/syslog after they are connected might give more info. (Use an external site for that log - it will be big)
