@hansolo77 you're confusing linux drivers with retroarch input drivers.

udev driver in retroarch supports rumble IF

the core does (pcsx does) your controllers linux driver's udev implementation does (?)

thanks, but problem persist. When I install the ps3 controller driver, the onboard bluetooth of the pi3 stops working and when I remove it works again.

when doing "sudo service bluetooth status" I get the following:

pi@retropie:~ $ sudo service bluetooth status

@Adam_3D

Try launching a game and then post the contents of /dev/shm/runcommand.log.

I´m so sorry, it was my mistake. The file is in the correct folder, but I forgot the .sh.

Thank you all so much :) I hope it works now.

I gave up and just re-flashed Retropie. It's working fine again.

@c_death Glad you got it figured out. I got mine figured out as well. I had to follow the instructions here:

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Bluetooth-Controller

Under the Keep bluetooth scanning part I had to add the line "sudo hciconfig hci0 up piscan" to sudo nano /etc/init.d/rc.local

Now it picks it back up every time it goes to sleep.

Welcome to the RetroPie Forums!

I would personally get another controller (like a real one).
Can we also see a picture of the PS3 controller? It could be real, it could be fake and possibly RetroPie is assuming something else.

@Floob I'm now running retropie 4.2 on pi zero
when trying to get my neo geo games to work i used to use pifba on 4.1 and it would work perfectly with my wired ps3 only one player now that I'm using 4.2 pifba games run perfect but my ps3 controller doesn't work right up=start down=select if figure that much not when i change emulator to lr-fbalpha controller works perfect but the games start to lag and not working perfectly i haven't tried bluetooth yet but i figure it will be the same PLEASE HELP BEEN STUCK FOR A WHILE

@bshogeman said in Hotkeys such as select+start don't work any more.:

I must not touch the menu item retropie -> retroarch. Don't update anything within that app.

To be more precise about the danger of this "app": Do NOT enable "Save Configuration on Exit".

Can anyone tell me what files to delete, replace, recover to fix this problem without reinstalling everything again?

Look for the retroarch.cfg.rp-dist files and replace the retroarch.cfg files with those.

Example:

mv /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg.rp-dist /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg mv /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg.rp-dist /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg mv /opt/retropie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg.rp-dist /opt/retropie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg # repeat it for other systems

More info about this kind of issue here and here.

@Spiky well that would be a definite sign of a bootleg.
