      I've got 2 Dualshock controllers both of whcih work fine at my PS3. When I connect only one (plus an USB keyboard) to my Raspi 3 and boot up Retropie 4.2, I get a welcome screen telling me

      1 GAMEPAD DETECTED

      but no matter what button I press or hold on the controller, nothing happens.

      Since I'm new to Retropie I'm not sure what is supposed to happen when I press some keys on the keyboard but the only key that works is F4 which takes me to the console.

      What's also weird is that on one of the controllers the 4 LEDs are blinling constantly whereas on the other they only do light up once when being connected. I'm using a 2.5 A power supply. Any suggestions?
