      hey guys i was using the ps3 controller via usb cable and it worked flawlessley as player 1 with the select+ start button for quitting the games and the ps button for the retroarch menu. then i've bought a wireless keyboard + mouse from trust and now i cant use the buttons anymore. the joystick configuration still says that the ps3 controller is player 1 but i cant quit the games via start + select and have to reboot the pi every time.

        @fruitspunch the problem is a lot of mini keyboard and mice are also seen as a controller. So if it is a bluetooth one its a problem because it sets bluetooth devices as first controllers. If it isnt bluetooth and has a dongle, just swap usb ports.

          @fruitspunch edit. Use joystick selection to set the ps3 controller as player 0. Should fix the issue

            i already put the ps3 controller in the upper left usb port and the dongle in the lower right but to no avail. the problem is that i can only configure the ps3 controller as player 1 but cant do anything about the keyboard because the raspberry doesnt recognize it.

              @fruitspunch use joystick selection in retropie menu to force the ps3 controller as player 1. If it isnt there go into runcommand, enable joystick selection and reboot.
