@windg

Thank-you for sharing this information. What is the path so that it changes globally? I can find these configurations in a few different places...

The path I think it is :

/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig

Yes this the path for the file, this is what i change too.

Thanks @psyke83 ...

Reguarding the input-keyboard, LED, rumbler and battery status ... All just extra info, hoping that something might help. As a note, the controller was left on all day and night, with no change in the battery state. And it too is listed as a keyboard. This morning the controller was off. I did think that it had run flat. Pressed the PS button, controller started up and paired not problem, thou the LED1 is blinking. Battery state is still fully-charged, so I am thinking this might not be reporting anything.

Totally understand how hard trying to debug or assist with something like this. I looked at the hid-sony.c file and my eyes glazed over ... I would not know where to start to make any difference, let alone how to compile and test.

I am happy to try any change you think might help or give us more info. I don't get notifications on this forum, but I can open an issue or watch your branch at GitHub for any changes and test them out?

Is there a possibility that I can eBay gift you one of these controllers? Thou I don't remotely think you might get the same version that I have, as that info is never listed on eBay, just that it's a PS3 controller.

Thanks

@PCKid ok hold the horses. Just fiddled with the controller in Bluetooth ie disconnected and some of the buttons work on the controller just not all and messed up. EG analog sticks work up down left right but none of the others do. Redid buttons now all good thank the maker. Thanks for all your help. No idea why it has suddenly decided to work but it does.

@sano This sounds very much like what I'm trying to accomplish! :)
is there a separate hid for sony clones? The controller is still being detected as "ShanWan PS3/PC Wired GamePad"

@help-me-please can your pocket juice supply a regulated 5V at 2.5A? That worries me.

More information about your setup will probably be necessary. The required information can be found at https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Also at that same link, take note of the part detailing how to format your posts for log entries.

So.. i gave up on crappy clones.

To begin with, i wanted clones because it was kinda difficult to find a pair of original PS3 pads locally, but a few days ago i managed to find some, and even at a very reasonable price.
I must admit that they rock severely!!! Connecting them was very easy, and they work like a charm :)

All set, playing games and enjoying life!

@BuZz Thanks for trying to get it fixed.

no probs! glad it's working on the new install at least.
