Reicast - keyboard disables Ps3 controller

[RickyEarl]

So I'm down to a few oddities on this build. RP 3.8.1 on overclocked pi3.

Right now, when I boot Retropie with a keyboard attached, Reicast doesn't see either the keyboard or my PS3 controller and I get stuck at the "enter date and time screen". If I unplug the keyboard and reboot the system, PS3 controller works fine. I tried two different keyboards (one wired and one with a USB dongle), but the same thing happens.

Any idea on why that's happening?

Thanks

I got this fixed. First I set up the PS3 controller "manually" using this post as a guide:

Then, I did the first two things on this post (1 - disabled emulationstation's automatic configuration of reicast and 2 - modified reicast's config so it attempts to "read" the proper joysticks from /dev/input)

I noticed that when the keyboard was hooked up it was controller id 0, and the PS3 was Id1. With no keyboard the PS3 controller was Id0 and worked. So I told it to look for id1. But then it stopped configuring the controller in reicast, so I had to do it manually.

Now the PS3 controller works - would be nice if I didn't have to tell it which controller in case the numbers change, but it works and that's what really matters.
