      @vsilvalopes I know the Dualshock4 new driver (well, it's the same driver for both DS3 and DS4) also adds a device for the touchpad present on the controller (which appears as a mouse), but I don't remember the DS3 controllers having the same touchpads.
      Can you pair one DS3 controller, then run the following 2 commands

      lsusb cat /proc/bus/input/devices

      and post the output ?
      Have you installed the customhidsonly driver from the RetroPie-Setup drivers section before pairing the controllers ?

      @quicksilver Thanks for the summary. I found these threads from you about overclocking:

      https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/16155/overclock-stability https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/16930/overclocking-discussion https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/17544/core_freq-vs-gpu_freq-n64-performance

      and this thread by @thelostsoul that you participated in:

      https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/17032/stresstest-a-fanless-overclocked-pi-3-b-no

      I will read them in my next spare time.

      @mitu I was hoping to get rid of Android itself, so RetroPie could replace the OS. Then RetroArch would be the next best thing to it.

      If anyone have experience with it and reading this, please report here. I am curious.

      For me I still have my original SNES with games and a Sega genesis new in [slightly abused] box with a large pile of games I picked up on ebay for $32. Both are sitting in a box in a closet, along with an Intellivision, N64, and a brand new Colecovision still in the box. (Plan on eventually getting an n64 everdrive) I ultimately want to have a game room where I can display them on a shelf with a CRT and other gaming "paraphernalia" as @ClassicGMR has mentioned. (Along with a full size Virtual Pinball Cabinet I dream of building)

      What I do have set up is

      an early run Dreamcast, which is capable of playing burned games on a CD-Rs (which I eventually want to upgrade to GDEMU)

      Xbox360 which I installed custom DVD drive FW to allow playing backup discs

      Hacked Wii U - a very underrated system
      Wii U contains the entire content of the Wii board for backwards compatibility, including wii's ability to play gamecube discs. Since the Wii U's laser will not read gamecube games, that core is disabled. Wii U and Wii must be hacked seperately as they are 2 different system. The Wii U part is unlocked to play all backups directly from an external hard drive. The wii partition, using Nintendon't, will unlock the gamecube core, and allow games to be read from disc images. It also has an awesome, graphical custom loader which will natively launch wii and Gamecube games stored on a USB thumb drive!

      3 Generations of Nintendo all playing Natively one one system, plus nearly all N64 games playable great using Virtual Console

      Nintendo Switch is the latest console I have - modded of course ;)

      I know the list contains a lot of newer systems, but for me, those are the ones that benefit most from playing them natively. Especially with how buggy Dreamcast, Gamecube and N64 emulation can be. The older systems I really want more for nostalgic / collectable reasons.

      Well something happened that might point to the cause of the problem. I have been using it for the past 3 hours no issues. I decided to plug some earphones in so obviously, the board moved a bit. Well as soon as the board moved, it started to disconnect the controllers and a few seconds after, it froze! So now I think it is in fact the power cord from the PSU that's causing all these issues! I'll replace it and see if it goes away...

      I know this post is, like, two years old, and I hope I can get an answer but what did you use to design this?

      Crap. And also big thanks. I'm going to rebuild and do that.

      @smartroad agreed! But the lowest 8 bits of the address don't even flash... Just a blur like PWM dimming ;) and I haven't even sped it up to the max throughput yet!
