Diswoe Model PS-301 (PS3 controller) doesn't work

[A Former User]

Hi to all,

I use Retropie v4.7.1 on Raspberry Pi 3 B+.

I plug a Diswoe Model PS-301 from USB and it doesn't work.

I try with sixaxis driver and also with ps3controller driver, no one works.

I have another ps3 controller from other brand that looks alike that diswoe pad and it works perfectly with ps3controller > gasia clone. This pad work perfecly on USB and wireless but Diswoe not.

Does anyone know how to make it work?

Thank you.

It listed as Xbox 360 controller but doesn't work.

Is the controller working via USB with other systems (PC/PS3) ?

Thought the controller claims to be a PS3 controller, the lsbusb output shows an Xbox controller - maybe the controller has a switch somewhere to change how it identifies itself to the system where is connected ?
Install/Re-install the xpad driver from RetroPie-Setup and reboot, then check again if the gamepad is detected.

Hello,

I don't have a PS3.

What PC program do I use to test the controller?

The controller does not have a switch option but it can be reset, after connecting it to the PC and testing it, I try to reset the controller.

If after doing a reset, it still does not work, I will try the option to reinstall xpad.

Thank you.
