Hello all,
sorry to be reviving an old post, but I find myself in the same situation 3 years later and I cant seem to find a solution that keeps up with the changes through time.
I have a Raspberry pi B+ and are running Retropie v.4.7.
I have been able to use a DS3 controller since I setup my raspberry pi with a bluetooth dongle, which I had paired on my laptop initially with the SCPtoolkit. So that was plug and play at the time and didnt even realise this was a complicated matter.
A few weeks ago I decided to get another controller and dongle to do the same for player 2, which obviously did not work.
I have :
tried to pair them separately and together,
tried the ps3 controller drivers with both original and clone options
tried the sixaxis option aswell.
My results where mixed, but the botom line is that the best I could get was to have one controller through the bluetooth dongle and one on a USB.
*Should also mention that they both work on my laptop with a single bluetooth dongle, setup with SCPtoolkit.
I can see that you have suggested 1 option that I would like to try, but have failed to do so on my own, either because of my inexperience or because the instructions are outdated.I need to check if by disabling the wifi it allows both of them to connect and if it does to setup your script in the menu so that I can toggle it.
When I press f4 and type wget http://raw.githubusercontent.com/crcerror/RetroPie-Shares/master/rfkill_wifi_dialog.sh -O "/home/pi/RetroPie/retropiemenu/Wifi Switch.sh"
It says the directory or file does not exist. Now I can see the actual link of the .sh file on github is different that what is suggested, but I did try to replace it with no success.
I also tried to change the location file to "/home/pi/RetroPie/configs/Wifi Switch.sh" hoping that by placing it there might still work but it doesnt.
Lastly I feel that there must be something that I am missing sicne there are no other solutions out there available but also not many others discussing it, which makes me wonder has this been solved in a simple matter and I am just blind?!
Thank you for your time and sorry for the long post, I hope you can help me.
After giving up with every option I decided to try and type that all over again, seems it was a mistype...:S
Anyway I can confirm this works for 2 ps ds3 controllers!!! Now I am off to show off my skills on CTR to my partner!!!
Thank you for your support!!!
