Reply To: Problem with paired PS3 Controller??

[cliffyboro]

Ok, thanks jiggawatt, I finally got it done! The batteries where fine, as soon as I plugged them in ps3 they went to 100%.

Anyway, for records sake all I did was write the RetroPie image to the SD card again and instead of updating the RetroPie Setup script, I just resized the partition and went straight to install PS3 controller from the RetroPie-Setup.sh script. Once again, it didn’t detect the PS3 controller over USB so I ran;

sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/ps3controller/sixpair

and it paired fine.

Stopped sixad using;

sixad --stop

then started it again using;

`sixad -s’

and it connected first time.

So thanks again and anyone else having the ‘PS3 Controller not found’ error using the PS3 driver install on the RetroPie-Setup.sh script should give these instructions a try.

I’ve tried to use as many exact terms as possible so hopefully people can find this from Google.

Thanks again
