@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.

Please don't post the same topic multiple times.

Reading the replies from @doug and @b3n, I've managed to implement the fix by giving a change to the report when the controller is connected.

Good: The driver works even with the latest driver available. It just change the report of the given controller, so, other controllers will remain functional.

Bad: The controller only works with the cable and the player's count LEDs turn on in a weird way.

TODO: I still want to make this driver actually doable. Any help will be very welcome.

Edit: The original driver will be kept. It can be enabled again by deleting the line 'blacklist hid-sony' in /etc/modprobe.d/generikit.conf.

Power supply?

So, oddly, I figured out how to make it work. Not sure why though.
So for starters, it started working again yesterday (when I made the post), but I didn't know how. Regardless, today it stopped working again.

However, it was fixed quite simply. I plugged it into my PC, and then plugged it back into my Pi. Now it works fine again. I have no idea why, though.

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.

Well, I've actually tried selling it to no avail.

To top it off, getting another arcade-like controller is financially impossible for me rite now. :(

Is there no other option to make this work? Maybe a mod? Maybe gutting a regular USB controller?
