      @luetzel no I definetly did 'make install' but haven't rebooted.

      Also,all the patches haven't been applied yet as I was awaiting your response as to whether this was correct:

      @Wolfman100 said in SHANWAN / PS3 CONTROLLER Pi3 RETROPIE 3.6 BLUETOOTH SETUP:

      When attempting to apply the patches I get this output:

      root@osmc:/bluez-5.39# patch -p1 < patches/bluez-01_add-obexd-policy.patch
      patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.

        @luetzel ermmm...I'm confused.Is this what should happen when I apply the patch

        Sorry, the link that you provided was broken.

        Awww, I see you did not download the patches in 'raw-mode'. Make sure that you don't have html tags in your files.

        Press the 'Raw' button, before you download the patch files from github!

            I was downloading the patches by right-click 'save link address' and pasting it after wget

              Ah ok, that's why it didn't work for you. Make sure that your link has a 'raw' in front, when downloading with wget:

              https://raw.githubusercontent.com/luetzel/bluez/master/patch/bluez-01_add-obexd-policy.patch

                    Well thats up to you, at least it would simplify the procedure to a:

                    git clone https://github.com/luetzel/bluez
                    cd bluez
                    ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-sixaxis
                    make -j3
                    sudo make install

                    Note, that you probably have to do 'sudo apt-get install git' first.

                      Ha..well that seems a lot easier!So I'm presuming this is with all the patches already applied?

                        This is now what I get when I run sixpair:

                              When you tried sixpair before, it seemed to work:

                              I have now installed QtSixA and have run Sixpair:

                              I don't understand what's going on ..

                                  And why it is no running anymore? Try
                                  sudo systemctl daemon-reload
                                  sudo service bluetooth restart

                                  and lets see if it helps.

                                        did you try:
                                        hcitool dev

                                        here it shows:
                                        Devices:
                                        hci0 00:1B:10:00:2A:EC

                                        which is the hardware address of my BT dongle. Perhaps you have to unplug/replug it to be recognized.
                                        IMHO the linux kernel should be responsible to register hci0, not bluez. Perhaps you have to shutdown/power off
                                        and reboot your pi.
