      Thanks to the incredible time and effort of a god-like genius called @luetzel I can now confirm that it is indeed possible to pair a PS3 controller via a Pi3's onboard Bluetooth and run RetroPie inside OSMC!!

      I will attempt to provide a clear guide as to how to achieve this,but until then you can follow the rather chaotic details of how this was achieved here:

        Credits go to Szymon Janc, who provided the PS3 Gasia and Shanwan bluez patches for openELEC.tv.

        For those who are interested: I published a tutorial about the installation procedure on my Raspberry Blog:
