      @smoothmalik Besides the PS3 gamepad install, it is just 2 more commands, pretty easy ;)

        Attempting to downgrade and I get the following:

        dpkg-deb: error: 'pi-bluetooth_0.1.0_armhf.deb' is not a debian format archive

        What am I suppose to do with that...

          You didn't download it correctly I guess. But you don't need to downgrade - install raspberrypi-sys-mods

            I did double check the download but I'll try install aspberrypi-sys-mods and see what happens. What should happen?

            EDIT: you meant install raspberrypi-sys-mods correct, with the 'r' in front?

              I confirmed my download and re-downloaded it a couple times, that didn't work. I took the deb off of another card that I had and it downgraded just fine.

              I don't know what sys-mods is so I'll learn about it before trying it.

                I did - the R got lost somewhere :-) sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-sys-mods answer Y if it asks about overwriting a file

                    @smoothmalik You do only the 2 commands in the first post, after the "EDIT". Than install the PS3 commands, check the wiki if you dont know how. That is only it.

                        You can close this issue now...

                        I have updated the Bluetooth page on the wiki: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Setting-up-a-Bluetooth-controller

                        Don't sweat it.
                        When in doubt, take a BYTE out of life.

                        😎

                          After applying all the aforementioned updates and even some recipes combining a mix of them, I still get freezes on psx games as soon as i disconnect the usb cable and go all the way wireless. The rest of the setup seem to work fine. :/
