      Hello there,

      I can't seem to get the PS3 controller on my Pi3 setup. When I try:

      • RetroPie Setup
        ++ Setup Tools

      I do not get the option 310 regards the PS3 controller setup.

      When I try the bluetooth setup it does not recognise anything. This is driving me crazy as it just seems it should be simple :(

      Setup as below:

      Pi Model: 3
      RetroPie Version Used: 3.8.1
      Built From: SD Image
      USB Devices connected: USB Keyboard
      Controller used: PS3 (USB works / Bluetooth does not work)
      Error messages received: None - Just can't find the menu options
      Guide used: N/A
      File: N/A
      Emulator: N/A
      Attachment of config files: Ask if required
      How to replicate the problem: New install

        The numbers are dynamic - so it may not be under #310.

        Also make sure you didn't update to RetroPie 4.0beta2 as then it will be under Packages -> Drivers

          Many thanks,

          I am confident I have not updated but will double check when I get home this evening. Hope it is something as simple as that as it is driving me insane that something basic is taking me days lol :)
