@tiesel Ich habe es immer so gemacht, dass ich das "Configure Input" Menü geöffnet habe und somit den Controller nochmal neu eingestellt habe. Dort siehst du das z.B. A Button 3 oder so ähnlich ist. Diese Informationen schreibst du dir irgendwo hin und Stellst dass dann in der Config um.

So like I said the PS4 lets me move around in EmuStation just fine, no issues with buttons etc. If I launch Retroarch GUI, the PS4 can't move around in it at all. I have to restart the system to get out of it.

@shaxs how u can use the 2.4 GHz adapter? I used it and retropie detected the gamepad but If i pressed buttons to "configure" dont work, idk why, help me pls

@alkah3st which premade image are you using?

Wireless is appealing for the simple reason that's it has no wires. If I was playing on an old 28" crt that would be one thing but on a 46" led TV I want to sit back on the couch.

While there is less lag with wired, I play with PS3 controllers and haven't had any noticeable lag issues.

@chigundo As far as wired controllers go, the ibuffalo are perfect for any games not needing analog sticks or triggers (no ps1, no 64). I also recently built a picart for my girlfriend and bought her the pihut snes controllers for under $10 each because she never grew up playing games much and I wasn't sure if it would be good to invest too much. These work really well for the price though the ibuffalo and original controllers are far superior but she doesn't notice a difference not having a history or much game playing. The only real downside is a short cable. She also now loves playing frogget and the classics every night before bed to wind down so I am going to upgrade her to wireless so she can lay in bed instead of having to sit on the edge.

@herb_fargus Can confirm - your suggestion worked for me!

@jonnykesh have you ever heard of the controller connecting via Bluetooth, retropie detecting the game pad, but NONE of the buttons working on gamepad?? I’m going to try another gamepad, this is most recent 1.23 firmware update with the new-ish SN30 Pro.

Please give more details about your system - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@mitu What I mean't was instead of using a connected monitor, use Wifi/bluetooth android phone screen inorder to play retropie without wires.

While I am by far no expert with Bluetooth, I think you need to set the hciconfig class.

man hciconfig states this for class:

class [class] With no class, prints class of device. Otherwise, sets class of device to class. class is a 24-bit hex number describing the class of device, as specified in section 1.2 of the Bluetooth Assigned Numers document.

You can find this at hciconfig (1) - Linux Man Pages

I found a list of classes at BlueTooth's Baseband page.

In Table 9: The Peripheral Major Class keyboard/pointing device field it uses this bit config

5 4 3 2 Minor Device Class bit no. of CoD 0 0 0 1 Joystick 0 0 1 0 Gamepad

And Minor Device Class field - Toy Major Class has this:

7 6 5 4 3 2 Minor Device Class bit no. of CoD 0 0 0 1 0 0 Controller 0 0 0 1 0 1 Game

If this helps, here is how I get BlueTooth information from a connected device:

Try connecting your pi 0 to your other pi/debian system and see what info is different.

Lastly, maybe check out Bluetooth CoD: Bluetooth Class of Device/Class of Service Explained for information on CoD info. I will be reading this as well for one of my projects, so I might be able to provide more info.

If you are used to an OS such as Winodws or Mac, then Linux is a pretty steep learning curve. It took me a few days of reading and getting it wrong and reinstalling Raspbian more than once to work out what was happening. I installed RetroPie from the manual install script a couple of times as well. You won't damage your PI but maybe get frustrated and banging your head against the table trying to work out what won't work and why

There is quite a bit of manual installation even after getting RetroPie up and running. Linux is a good OS but needs a fair bit of user assistance to get it running how YOU want it to run, especially in allowing access to various parts that you normally wouldn't be able to access to give you more control over it

Once it is running, RetroPie is a breeze to use and very simple to add to as and when YOU want to including adding or removing ROMs or emulator systems, unlike Windows that constantly badgers you for yet another security/software update (especially Windows 10 that has taken ALL the control away from the user when updates are needs .... or that Microsoft believe is needed)

Did you read this guide, it helps a LOT

I am experiencing the same issue, did you ever find the cause? or a solution? Thanks

@mitu thanks, im try it later)

@psyke83 said in Sony DualShock 3 - call for testers: "sixaxis" script module:
...

NOTE: If you don't know how to test PRs, then it may be wise not to try testing this, as I'll need some basic technical competence to provide logs, etc., if something goes wrong.
...

sorry, but I've just read your note about how to test the driver and I fear that I can't help here.
I'm really not familiar with pull requests; and even for basic linux things I need to follow step by step instructions... not knowing what and why I'm typing things in more than 80% of cases.

@edmaul69 I have done that to. It is not a problem with the controllers.

@ramchip I'm afraid I can't think of what it could be. Sorry!

For anyone interested, this has been tracked down to the use of an external Bluetooth dongle and having the onboard Bluetooth disabled with dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt.

The retropie_wiimote_lights script by pyhammond works fine with the onboard Bluetooth. Fingers crossed they can sort it for an external Bluetooth dongle as well as it's a really useful script for people with WiiU Pro controllers!

Thanks.

Well yes this did get the BB-GAME controller working in emulation station. And non-retroarch emulators. Unfortunately, Retroach hates this controller for some reason.
