@smoothmalik If bluetoothct1 is not present, it means retropie is still using BlueZ 4, to my knowledge you won't be able to run both PS3 and PS4 controllers at the same time with this kind of setup. Perhaps you should open an issue about that on retropie's github

Because they are not automatically configured like the libretro cores, and need manual configuration (Some may not even support joystick, others may need configuration). If you use the lr-prboom version of doom your joystick should work out of the box.

PS. When asking for help please provide more information as detailed here - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

I can confirm everything is working again. Many thanks.

Nothing I know of - and I don't have one of these controllers. I have a real PS3 controller which works well.

@windale if you like you can try this out. Assuming you know how to build from source. Https://GitHub.com/dark-show/sixad

Let me know if it mitigates the problem. It's just a hot fix until they work btsix support into bluez.

@cbarr Manufacturer: SZMY-POWER CO.,LTD

SZMY-Power is a Chinese manufacturer. Looks like the controller is not official Sony brand. What you would want for this brand is the "Gasia only" driver, which it sounds like you've been using.

@zmirli13 said in PS3 Controller - Bluetooth Woes:

Il y a des postes qui servent à tester, d'autre à jouer pendant les pauses....
Les postes que l'équipe se sert pour tester les jeux sont relié à des PC avec une carte d'acquisition HD ou non-HD.
Donc, la personne ayant était en charge du test du jeux vidéo que montre ton lien soit le jeu Top Spin 3, a était tester par Renaud qui à, après avoir rédigé son article, pris place devant le poste de test qui est techniquement équipé d'un écran Full-HD et d'une console Xbox360 et a mis à enregistrer avec un programme d'acquisition se trouvant sur le PC. Il a donc tout simplement faite une vidéo HD avec ce même programme.
Par la suite, ShowBox

I think you posted to the wrong thread... this is over a year old, and after translating what you wrote, it didn't apply to the OP... something about xbox testing and hd screens....

@BuZz Thanks for trying to get it fixed.

Hey, I had this same problem.

Nothing worked that I tried. Eventually I just reinstalled and magically everything just worked, no problem.

@cyrus Never mind, you have to press TAB in game and then you can configure the buttons

@washie In the Managing ROMS wiki we can see that the lr-fba-next is (currently) the fba 0.2.97.38 and you want the reference romset for this fba version...

This one is resolved.
For everyone having the same issue.
In order to enable 3rd and 4th player through joysticks, you have to first install the ps3 or Xbox controller drivers through the retro pie setup menu.
Do not input any specific button configuration inside the per console config files.

Try my approach combined with Luetzels' here:

Install the patched Bluez from the blog (overwriting default raspbian bluez – do not uninstall it first, just overwrite). Then Shanwan sixad. Reboot, then its working like a boss..

Try this first.

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

Here is a screenshot of how I had it setup.
Originally I set it up with a keyboard being connected to the Pi, however I have moved on to SSH.0_1473220343423_Capture.JPG
