I am not sure why it did’nt work after reboot earlier…. now it seems to connect so it must’ve been a fault from my part.
The pad works as it should in jstest… I can see the numbers corresponding to the buttons being pressed etc.
I would’nt believe it was a power issue as I am using a USB hub with it’s own power source.

Now the controller seem to work in at least some emulators… for example it works as good as can be in the megadrive emulator but for some reason the A/B/X/Y (circle, square etc as it is a ps3 controller) buttons does’nt work in the snes emulator.

I am very thankful for all the help I have gotten so far.
Still I cant get it to work.
Everytime I do rm /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_input.cfg and reboot, and do the ES config once again as it shows up the sixaxis works fine.
That is until I reboot retropi… there the controller just stops responding (cant scroll in the menus etc).
And also when I go into the input configuration menu and try to edit the controlls there, once I save I get the message “script error”… this occurs both on my sixaxis controller and if I try to do a condfiguration on my keyboard.
I’d also like to ask what file you configure (and if I can configure it manually through ssh) when you go into input configuration, as I guess es_input.cfg is only for controlling the interface for selecting emulator and games.

es_input.cfg currently look like this… but how do I find out what the device name of my sixaxis is called and how do I change the keys manually?

<?xml version=”1.0″?>
<inputList>
<inputConfig type=”keyboard”>
<input name=”a” type=”key” id=”119″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”b” type=”key” id=”46″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”down” type=”key” id=”274″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”left” type=”key” id=”276″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”menu” type=”key” id=”99″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”pageup” type=”key” id=”109″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”right” type=”key” id=”275″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”select” type=”key” id=”111″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”up” type=”key” id=”273″ value=”1″ />
</inputConfig>
<inputConfig type=”joystick” deviceName=”Microsoft Microsoft® Nano Transceiver $
</inputList>

thank you I’ll make yet another attempt then :)

[vrilya]

I’ll try…. I’m reflashing retropie 1.9.1 once again cause it’s gone apeshit on me.
I usually SSH into the terminal or however you say it and do all the settings done there.
But now when I press F4 on my keyboard hooked up to my raspberry pi it does’nt do a thing… and by Edit to you mean edit es_input.cfg cause I dont even have anything by that name anywhere.

[vrilya]

Now every time I am done with my key setup (in that input editor) and try to save it, it says “script error”… I have no idea to why it does this so please once again help out.

I tried both solutions and it seems that trimmtrabb’s solution to it worked… the other one just would’ve for some reason if I unhooked the USB-cable after reboot.
Now to the other problem.
as soo as the screen pops up for when to assign your buttons it seems as it is far too responsive.
When I press up on my sixaxis controller it assigns it as down immediatly and the same goes for any other key on my gamepad I press.
Is there a solution to this perhaps aswell?
and thanks for the help by the way with the bluetooth thingy.
