      @BobbyDigital man, there's no need to download everything. Just follow the instructions in the README. @edmaul69 is an old user of that tool and maybe isn't used with the current installation process simplicity. :-)

            @meleu It´s not so easy with a german keyboard. But I don´t have the joystick-selection under exp. packages. I do the step with the curl and retropie works and then i go into the package manager. I try again

              @edmaul69 I mean "a user since the first versions of the script (that helped too much with useful feedback and made me implement improvements on the script)". :)

                  I tried several times but it doesn´t work. I have no "joystick-selection" in the experimental packages. I rebooted the system, I try before EmulationStation starts. Maybe you have another tip for me?

                    If you manually type the curl command, maybe you did a typo. Could you try a copy/paste through ssh ?
                    You can also manually download the install.sh file and move it in RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary/ (renamed as joystick-selection.sh)

                    Do you have another controller plugged (or even a keyboard, just to be sure) with USB ?
                    If you unplug it, does the PS3 controller get player 1 ?

                      No, the script/file was downloaded. Where can I find the folder? RetroPie-Setup?

                      Yes, i have a Keyboard with a little USB-Dongle. Without the Dongle the Controller is still on player 2.

                        OK. I'm gonna find an easier way to install...

                        No, the script/file was downloaded. Where can I find the folder? RetroPie-Setup?

                        please, paste here the output of ls ~/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary/*.sh

                        It should have an joystick-selection.sh file.

                          I´m so sorry, it was my mistake. The file is in the correct folder, but I forgot the .sh.

                          Thank you all so much :) I hope it works now.
