@AssPunchMan said in PS3 Shanwan Controller lossed on every update: Its possible fix this? update without loss the PS3Controller pairs. The upgrade that broke the PS3 controllers - the Linux kernel - also broke other Bluetooth controllers and it's not under the project's control. It's a badly timed bug, but that's not something that happens regularly. If you wish to not be bitten by such situations, then only upgrade the packages you need (for bugfixes or new features) and skip the OS and driver upgrades.

same here shanwan not woking anymore...now testing the donwgrade method and will update the post EDIT: Downgrade method just solves the problem

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/22312/latest-update-and-ps3-sixaxis-controller/7 Here is the link for others. Will test later. E: Downgrading worked.

@marcel151 There is a regression in the latest Linux stable kernel regarding bluetooth connections - you'll either have to wait for an update or downgrade your OS packages (kernel+firmwarre) as shown here.

@Koolhass I don't think you're getting anywhere. I'm sorry to say but it's your fault, not sony. If you just want to sue the shop that sold you the gamepad as "genuine" you can, of course, but nothing more. Sony has nothing to do with this, I'm sure they are quite aware of these shitty gamepads. If you don't think you can differentiate a legit pad from a fake one bring a friend to the store when you go buy one, to avoid further surprises :)

I am new on these forums and am a new very pleased Retropie user. But I too have the same problem and I solved it just by unplugging and replugging the controller.

It's stopped working on the image based on Stretch Beta too now... Hmm.

Following-up, I think the controllers are configured correctly. They are just using the default hotkey setting. It's just a little wonky-ness with the device when pressing the Select and Start buttons at the same time. It seems to take several tries, but then it does work. Thanks for the help!

@psyke83 said in Sony DualShock 3 - call for testers: "sixaxis" script module: ... NOTE: If you don't know how to test PRs, then it may be wise not to try testing this, as I'll need some basic technical competence to provide logs, etc., if something goes wrong. ... sorry, but I've just read your note about how to test the driver and I fear that I can't help here. I'm really not familiar with pull requests; and even for basic linux things I need to follow step by step instructions... not knowing what and why I'm typing things in more than 80% of cases.

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.
