PS4 Controller + Pi3 + RetroPie 3.7 + Bluetooth Dongle SOLVED
-
Has anyone been able to successfully get this work yet? I have tried following a couple guides but they seem to be for RetroPie 2.3 and back.
I can see the controller and pair it and connect it. It shows up as 'Wireless Controller'. I just can't configure it.
Yes I know the pi3 has Bluetooth built in. It causes the pi3 to freeze.

Moved to Support area. The games category is not for configuration help.

I figured it out! I even wrote a wiki!

Can you add your findings to the Retropie wiki?
-
Sure.

@FreakyBigFoot Mind if we change the title to
Setting up a PS4 controllerjust to fit with the conventions of the other controller wiki pages and then we can add it to the sidebar on the right under ps3 controller -
Sure. Whatever you think will help.

Hi, I'ven been playing around with connecting a ps4 to retropie. The wike from FreakyBigFoot was a very big help. Like it sad, i borrowed 2 controllers from my friend, one newer , so i needed to use the ds4drv.
Today i bought my own new controllers, wich turned out to be the new version 2 (light bar on top of the touchpad and grey buttons).
I disabled ds4drv on startup in rc.local, connected both in the bluetooth menu, and they worked fine! buttons get registered.
(with the ds4drv i couldn't connect the second one)
Maybe someone else can confirm this. I just tought to share this so someone could put it in the wikki to help other people.Thx for all the help, especially FreakyBigFoot
ps i also did the firmware upgrade discribed on the wikki of FreakyBigFoot , maybe it matters
