      Good evening!
      I'm new to retropie, I bought my first RPi on Monday. I could play my games flawlessly with my dual shock 4 over a USB cord.
      Now I'm trying to play wirelessly. I managed to connect the DS4 via the onboard Bluetooth, and the controller worked as well. But now I have a problem.
      Every time I select a rom to emulate and that grey box appears ("press any button to configure"), the system thinks the DS4's accelerometer is a button, and it goes to the config page. I need to lay the controller on a table, and use the buttons to reach "launch" and press square. It's a really annoying thing. Just to mention: it only happens when I'm connected to Bluetooth.
      Does anyone know how to solve it? Thank you very much.
      Ps.: English is not my mother language, so excuse me if I made some mistakes.

        I made some research, and in the /retroarch-joypads/Wireless Controller.cfg there isn't any mention to a accelerometer.

        Tried to edit retroarch.cfg, but without success. I don't understand how that works yet.

          @mateusbandeiraa you can go into retropie settings and go into runcommand and change that option box to only work on a keyboard. Retroarch has no control over that box. If linux recognizes the accelerometer as joystick controls it can interfere with it
