Playstation 1 emulator with Playstation 3 controller, is this possible?
-
Hi,
I want to play playstation 1 on my retropie who is installed on my raspberry pi 3 b +. Emulator is working fine with no problem :) but I cannot find any PS1 usb controller. Is it possible to buy a fake PS3 controller and use it as a PS1 controller on the retropie?
They say its a PS3 controller, but does this one work for PS1 emulation too?

PS3 controllers are supported by RetroPie - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/PS3-Controller/ and you can certainly play PS1 games with it. You can also use other controllers, like an Xbox or a PS4 Dualshock, a Wii U Pro (which have similar number of buttons and joysticks), etc.

Thanks for the answer :) I wasn't able to find a decent ps1 or 2 controller, only ps3 :) Glad that is working to on retropie and on the PS1 emulator :D

I use two PS3 controllers via bluetooth and it works flawless for me.

I need to point something out here as I had problems using them over bluetooth.
Not sure if anybody else has the same problem but it been there since I started using retropie a couple of years ago and is still there now.
It does not effect all games but I have noticed it in a few, hogs of war is one that comes to mind.
I use to use 2 normal ps2 controllers via usb adapter and 2 ps3 controllers via Bluetooth for some 4 player fun. The 2 ps3 controllers over bluetooth always use to cause stuttering whilst holding the button to fire your rockets in hogs of war, the 2 wired controllers never did this.
The way that solved this for me was to disable the built in wifi on my pi3, then they worked perfectly.
I now use 4 ps3 controllers via Bluetooth with no problems what so ever now since disabling built on WiFi.
Hope this helps just incase you come across same problem.
