      @mitu Yes it did work. Since updating, I haven't tried the Bluetooth PS3 controls that I used to use on it. I've just been doing everything with the keyboard. I think I will try them and see where it gets me. I looked at the module and don't see any marks of damage to it. But I am curious if my controls still work or not.

      Side question while I look into the above....Would it benefit me to try and start everything over from scratch? Like, a factory reset. I have things backed up on my PC and don't mind.

        RetroPie updates should not interfere with the Wifi, but if you chose to 'Update OS and packages' during the update, one of the Raspbian updated packages might have unintended consequences.
        You could re-install, but as far as I know the Linux kernel version in the latest image is already the same as yours (as seen in the dmesg output).

        Try to test the PS3 controller and see if it still works (via Bluetooth).

          @mitu The Bluetooth is down. I could not get my controllers to connect. They would with the usb cable, but not Bluetooth. I think the module might be done.
