PS3 controller not connecting wirelessly

I've actually never tried the USB stick transfer. I will either use the SFTP Option or the Browse Over My Network Option.

Most USB sticks (flash drives) are already formatted to FAT32 or exFAT (which is the same as FAT32 but optimized for flash memory)

What size USB stick (flash drive) are you using? And what operating system are you using (Windows, Mac, Linux)?

@backstander I'm using a 16gb flash drive. And I don't get any error messages, it just says that I only have 57mb free when there's nothing on it

You know, I had one of my SanDisk flash drives at work do something like that. I tried every trick in the book to reformat it and nothing seemed to work. I contacted SanDisk and I had to RMA (return merchandise authorization) it back to SanDisk and they send me a replacement. Took about 3 or 4 weeks before I received the replacement.

Is that space related to the flash drive or the SD card? For the SD card, you may need to expand the file system after installing RetroPie.

@dankcushions it tells me could not install package(s): checkinstall libusb-dev libbluetooth-dev

@r641wd huh. Any particular error message? Lack of space? Something?

@r641wd I don't have enough information from your description to suggest next steps.

Searching for the error you described on Google seems to take me to this page. See if those steps help?
