      Hi, I was trying to pair a non-official Ps3 controller:

      0_1478349049616_088326.png
      (Code: SKU088327)

      But... well, there are some errors; at first, from ES couldn´t recognize the bluetooth, but yes from console:

      lsusb
      

      I activated it manually with:

      sudo hciconfig hci0 up
      

      And installed the ps3 drivers too from retropie-setup.sh (tryed the official and the gasia support alternative).

      All this things didn´t worked, and after this steps (even until installing ps3 drivers) I tryed to use the ES bluetooth menu but it stuck at searching usb bluetooth or using any option of it.

      Well, after all this, I just want to answer if somebody get this "Gameware" controller working, cause, the error could come from my cheap USB bluetooth dongle.

      Thx in advance!.

      P.D.: Unninstalling the ps3 drivers solve the issue of the ES bluetooth menu stuck

      Rpi: 3, ES v. 4.0.3 fresh image

        I made it work with the following combination of hardware/software:

        • Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
        • Operating System: OSMC (enable Bluetooth at MyOsmc-->Network)
        • RetroPie 4.3 (installed using retroosmc)
        • ps3controller driver configured for "clone support shanwan" (gasia will not work)
