      Friends the sony usb control of the playstation classic edition works perfectly on the Raspberry Pi 3 with retropie versions. But the official version 4.6 for Raspberry Pi 4, sony usb control is not recognized. Is there any way to install this driver (or modules) from this control to the Pi 4??

        I don't think there's a specific driver that needs to be included - both the Pi 3 and Pi 4 images are based on the same Raspbian image (Buster).

        We've had a couple of similar reports of it not working on the Pi4 and one positive report of it working - but it's difficult to diagnose without having a similar controller available.

          Can you try the usual tricks and see if anything happens

          • plug-it into the USB2 port
          • re-connect the controller after the boot

            thanks for answering! I also installed a newer version of Raspbian (buster), but the controller was not recognized. I'll do this test and return with the result ...
