@gizmo the hacks mentioned on the link do not seem to work on the 3.6/pi3 combo.
I did post on that thread also.
Controller also only works on mame-libretro, not the others.

Hi,

on 3.6 and pi3 the hacks for enabling the analog sticks for the ps3 controller don’t appear to work. testing using mame-libretro.
Any ideas?

[buffering]

update. I decided to re-image the SD. Then applied the bluetooth update, then the hotfix, then paired the ps3 controller.
Works now.
Finally!

EDIT: quick question, the analogue sticks won’t work in game only the retropad (they seem to be mapped in mame though).
Any advice for getting this to work?

thanks

Hi @gizmo.

I tried that also as well as removing the ps3 controller and pairing it again through setup script.
Still no joy :(

How can I check? Emulstation starts fine with the sixaxis controller and works fine until a emulator is started.

Doesn’t solve the lack of controller in game play..

I ran the setup script trying to emulate the video but option 313 for configuring input devices doesn’t exist. Option 314 only provides options to configure a keyboard.
At a loss how to get the ps3 to work in game..

jstest works fine, controller is connected just not to any emulators..

I’ve been searching for ideas to troubleshoot why the controller does not work at all in games but does in emulstation. Haven’t found anything. Really frustrating being soooo close.

By removing the config and re-adding I have got my ps3 controller to work via bluetooth.
Fully functional in the menu but does not work in game.
I have set the input option under menu options but it stops the moment a rom or port is launched.

Thanks guys, it does look brilliant and runs well on the pi3.

Seems all of us with pi3 are having issues. This is the third post with similar issues.

same issue, cross posted on another topic in this forum.
manually pairing through the setup script doesn’t help.

Same issue. I am new to retropie and have a Pi3 on the latest version of retropie.
bluetooth firmware is updated.

If I connect the controller for the initial setup via a usb cable it reports “1 gamepad connected” holding down a button says “PS 3 controller detected” and starts setup.
I can start mapping the buttons but after a few seconds the controller stops responding.

If you are really quick you can get down to the “OK” but can’t select it.

Removing the usb cable and it will not work over bluetooth.

Any help appreciated.
