      Hello guys.
      I set up my ps4 Controller with the github instructions (https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Setting-up-a-PS4-controller) + ds4drv. The Controller works fine with Bluetooth but sometimes when i turn off my raspi and turn it on again the Controller wont find anything. I tried to manage the Bluetooth Settings on my raspi but the raspi continuously says "Searching..."
      But if i turn it off and on a few times the Controller will connect without Problems.
      my PS3 Controller connects EVERY time!
      Anyone who can give me a solution?
      Thank you :)

                @mohawk97 I think @rbaker was asking because they weren't sure if the problem was only in one emulator, or if it's with EmulationStation and all emulators. Your initial question implied it was also within EmulationStation, but it wasn't specific, so we don't want to troubleshoot the wrong problem.
