@mitu That worked, thanks!

Dear Community

I try to pair a 2nd PS3 controller to my Raspberry Pi Zero W.
But it doesn't work.

Hardware: Raspberry Pi Zero W
Bluetooth: onboad BT
RetroPie: 4.5.15
Driver: sixaxis

I was able to successfully pair 1 controller, but I cannot pair a 2nd one.
The 2nd controller works if I connect it via USB, so the controller should be fine
(I tried 3 other controllers, for all the same behavior)

How can I pair more than 1 PS3 controller, preferably with the onboad BT controller.

Thank a lot and cheers!

PS: If I missed a documentation for that specific problem I am find with a pointer to the RTFM ;)

Ok. I followed the instructions. I plugged in the PS3 controller during the Emulation Station startup screen.
No luck. :( Is there a specific time when i'm supposed to plug the controller in?

@mitu Thanks for your suggestion. I had the same problem as the original poster. Ah yes ... read the instructions.

@SolemnSpirit Thanks that helped!, the moment i remove the key_mgmt, i was able to connect to the wireless! :D i appreciate you posting this!

for me happens the same. what did you made to solve it?

e detection flag will not be enough to make RetroPie install - as you have probably seen. On the Raspberry Pi, only Raspbian is supported at the

Well, then what about manual build retroarch and emulationstation? Which flags do I need? And how configure emulationstation work with retroarch?

i'm afraid we don't support third party images, which the "TinyPi Pro sdcard image" is. perhaps the seller can support?

Ok, so I just figured it out. For some reason my controller was player 2 so I switched it back to player one using https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/RetroPie/comments/6003hk/switch_controller_player_number/ and it was a big help

anything is possible, but tbh it looks like more truble than it will be worth.
obviusly you will need to remove some of the board and you will most likely also need a new control board for the screen and will therefore most likely not fit inside the old case either.
cosiddering all this and the fact that you had to ask if it was possible, i would say this is likely a job way above your skillset and not worth the efford, for you.
personally i would just get one of the many kits available.

@Chuck_B lol. There is a tad bit of slowdown, but nothing detrimental.

@ignatius We don't offer support for 3rd party images - especially the ones sold with RetroPie - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Selling RetroPie is agains the project's license, so you just enriched a scammer. You should ask the seller for support.

@mitu
I used a Sandisk Ultra 32GB MicroSD HC I the first time and worked fine. The other memory stick I used is the Micro SDXC 10 256GB MicroSD XC 1 1 (This memory stick I the one that’s giving me troubles). The power supply I used was a EasyAcc 5V 2A Micro USB power supply. The raspberry pi zero w was purchased from the adafruit website.

I tried buying one and it kept saying my cart was empty when I would click the add button. I'll just have to wait for the next batch. Amazon needs a better system here.

@ibshar said in Unable to configure usb gamepad on Retropi 4.4:

in jstest it showed the controlller as Microsoft Xbox 360 pad

Then it means it's already working as in 'Xbox mode'.

And how to switch the controller to xbox mode?

Look in the manual for the controller, I just saw it's possible in the item description you posted, I assume it's some button combination when you start it.

Dude you're a life saver! Thanks a lot bro, i checked the manual and found that by default the controller uses Xinput mode(used by new games) so had to switch it to Direct input mode(used by old games) and then it started working..

Cheers..

From what I hear, the Pi Zero W has trouble running NES games without certain optimizations. I hate to say, but I doubt you're going to get N64 running well at all.
