Assuming you’re on a PI2, you’ve overclocked, you’ve checked you power adapter to ensure it’s giving the PI the full 2A it needs, and you’ve updated to the latest retropie 3.0, and you’ve tried using the gles2n64 (something along those lines) renderer (tends to be faster and more accurate for me, though less games work): the only thing I can think of is doing a source install of lr-mupen to get the latest version.

I know what you’re missing because the same thing happened to me when I started messing with RetroPie. And you’ll hate me cause it’s annoying ;)

You have to press the PS button in the middle of the controller (after everything is plugged in ofcourse) and it magically starts working.

Other pitfalls:

* Controller turns on PlayStation and connects to that, using the pi to charge only &_&

* Controller loses sync with PlayStation but doesn’t power off doing a minute long search cycle (also not letting you use it on the pi in the mean while), you’ll notice this as all the LED will be blinking.

* The power you’re supplying to PI is inadequate. It’s a long shot, but my $hit adapter didn’t provide the full 2A and the pi wouldn’t recognize some USB devices (but it does with others).
