@lebonhomme said in IPEGA PG-SW002 Dual joystick on Retropie:

Is it a driver problem?

Most likely yes, you bought a gamepad that only supports a Nintendo Switch, so a separate driver is needed on Linux (which is what RetroPie is built on). If the hid_nintendo driver is not working with it, then it's probably not compatible.

Do you have a Nintendo Switch ? Any reason to choose this controller for RetroPie instead of a PC compatible controller ?

These Android geared devices are not always working with Linux/RetroPie, we got a few topics in the forum for them with issues during connection or - even after connection - not working properly.
Do you have a vendor support page with a manual/instructions on how to make them work with a PC ? Do they have a 'mode switch' between Android/PC connection mode ?

@mitu
Thank you, removing the call for the ds4drv on /etc/rc.local solved it!

where do i put this pairing code?

@nullfx said in Ipega 9083S Blutooth Controller with RetroPie 4.5:

I know this is way late, but I actually found a way to use the Ipega 9083S on my Raspberry Pi 4 running Retroarch. After the initial Bluetooth setup, manage your drivers and install the sixaxis driver. When that finishes, go to the configuration that shows up and enable third party controllers. Worked like a charm for me.

Also late to the party, but I'm making a Pi 4B powered handheld
and wanted to use this controller for my project.
But before I buy this controller, I wanted to be sure if it would work.

So as long as I install the sixaxis driver, this Android only controller will definitely work ?

Thanks in advance.

@NoobAtEverything Why are you asking this in the RetroPie forum ? This is not a Android/mobile gaming community and you'd have better luck asking in a dedicated forum for Android.

@NiCKOz When you configure your input, skip the Hotkey assignment. Before exiting, the dialog will ask you if you want to use Select as Hotkey, say yes and press ok. Try with this configuration and see if it solves your problem.

@mitu Thank you for your response. I've already seen those cases, however I cannot reproduce the same behaviour . The second like you posted does not help because I'm able to use the controller on ES. The first link I cannot really follow because when my Xbox controller AND the IPEGA controller are connected, both key mappings get really weird...

@salvaliebana good to know you solved it. But can you share how did you solve?

I myself used this method I described here:

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2719/keyboard-stopped-working-after-i-played-around-in-the-controller-config-in-rtgui/2

I too found that additional bluetooth devices could not be added while the PS3 driver is enabled.

@newzilla7 I have an ipega PG-9023 and solved this same problem doing what I said here:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2719/keyboard-stopped-working-after-i-played-around-in-the-controller-config-in-rtgui/2

Some other guys (like this one) solved changing the retroarch.cfg input_driver to sdl2 (rather than udev).
