5 PS3 Controller don´t work via bluetooth

[mrmeyer04]

Hi,
if I want to play i.e. Bomberman SNES with 5 player then I have the problem, that I can´t use all of my 5 PS3 controller wirelessly.
I always can connect 4 of them via bluetooth, and the fifth controller has to be connected via usb cable in order to play with 5 players.

Is this in any way a configuration issue with retroarch or is it a limitation of the raspberry?

I´m using an PI3 Model B.

Every help is much appreciated

@mrmeyer04 Have you looked in the docs - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Super-Nintendo-Entertainment-System/#3-5-players ? Can you use all 5 controllers at once in ES ?

Thanks for the reply.
I can successfully play with 5 players, but only using 4 controllers wirelessly and 1 controller wired.

And I´d like to use all 5 wirelessly.

@mrmeyer04 You didn't answer any of my questions. Are the 5 controller working wirelessly outside games, in Emulationstation ?

Hi mitu,
I´m sorry. Yes they do work individually in Emulationstation outside of games and also inside. But only the first 4 controllers which I connect work simultaniously. The fifth won´t connect via bluetooth (lights are flashing constantly).
