@BuZz Ok, thank you

On RetroArch it's q and w - but please try and be more specific as RetroPie consists of many components that accept input. https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Can you use the other topic perhaps rather than having two topics about input settings ?

@obsidianspider Good to know. That's the conclusion I came to. I made my backup this morning and installed a driver for a highly rated (and free) app called Unified Remote. Need to experiment with it when I have time, but it did connect briefly. Seemed to be a wifi connection issue of some kind. Will post my results here if I can get it working properly.

I just want to be able to pick up the phone and type "esc" when and if necessary, that sort of thing. Unified Remote app provides a full keyboard with command keys, arrows, etc on the phone.

I found a way to reset controller settings finally and now I can setup my controller from scratch :D

@bfenty if it is activating the unused c buttons try mapping those c buttons to non existing button numbers. (Like 20 and 21)

I've given up and gone to windows

@Vampire337 please, mark your topic as solved.

Is the pi connected to a LAN? I'm asking it because you can connect to to it via SSH and investigate what is happening. Maybe your bro needs to configure port forwarding in his router to let you connect to his pi...

@bennymcg

The 'Generic 104-key PC' would likely be the best model setting. Also, the keyboard layout settings are all set to UK by default, so if you need anything else, select 'Other'. It appears as though the Rii i8 has an AltGr key on the right, so 'Right Alt (AltGr)' is applicable to you as well.

Any updates on a solution?

@bfenty Glad you got it working! That problem stumped me once or twice--it's sometimes good just to have another pair of eyes on it.

@alareqi you were rude, hence my rebuttal. I stand by what I said.

Heh----that's the danger with enjoying less-popular systems, not as much info is available in the world :-(

Just arrived to RetroPie and still trying to configure my devices, after reading full topic here are my two cents:

unistalled PS3 Driver (clone) Paired Sony official PS3 bluetooth controller successfully Installed PS3 Driver (clone) Connect PS3 Clone Gamepad on USB then disconnect Push PS button to connect Gamepad. All done :)

At this point two devices works properly. I can change from retorpie to kodi and back again and all its fine. Just played some games on joypad, exit retropie onto kodi, navigate using keyboard.. all fine !

But... after reboot, bluetooth keyboard can't be paired again. I need to start over again from point 1.

the question is: It's possible on boot process, disable sixaxis while normal stack connects to bluetooth keyboard (or other devices) and after some time (maybe 1 minute) reenable sixaxis again?
How is started bluetooth device during boot? and where are the scripts?

Any advice are welcome if someone has tryed something like this.

I have the C120 Pro remote, which might not have the same id numbers.

I found this post that helped solve the same issue as yours, where it would register as player 1 and the other controls were 2+.
From the post: "The following code deactivates the joystick part."
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2283297

Use this to find the usb interface/vendor/model id numbers:

udevadm info -q all -n /dev/input/js0 | grep -Ei '(ID_USB_INTERFACE_NUM|ID_VENDOR_ID|ID_MODEL_ID)'

Create rule using:

sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-persistent-joystick.rules

and add the following in (replacing bInterfaceNumber, idVendor and idProduct with yours):

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{bInterfaceNumber}=="03", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0c45", ATTRS{idProduct}=="3451", RUN+="/bin/sh -c '/bin/echo -n %k >/sys${DEVPATH}/driver/unbind'"

Reboot, and you should see that js0 is no longer shown by using

ls -l /dev/input/

and that controller 1 shows up as controller 1 when activated.

This may not be the proper way to do things, but the best I've found so far using it with PS3 controllers. If there's a better way, I'd be open to hearing it.

Hope this helps.
