Reply To: Multiple PS3 controller via bluetooth frustration

[quote=87755]All of you controllers are paired? meaning you can get all of them to connect to retropie one at a time? You can get two at the same time at the most?[/quote]

This is my exact problem currently. For the first and second controller I’m pairing via sixad over bluetooth I get this in the logs:

Mar 31 15:12:40 tarantula kernel: [   54.318800] input: PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller (00:19:C1:D8:79:26) as /devices/virtual/input/input0
Mar 31 15:12:50 tarantula kernel: [   64.225794] input: PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller (00:06:F7:59:E0:AE) as /devices/virtual/input/input1

And I get js0 and js1 in /dev/input/. After I disconnect one controller (holding PS button >12 sec) and pair a third one I get:

Mar 31 15:14:04 tarantula kernel: [  138.389150] input: PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller (04:76:6E:EF:33:09) as /devices/virtual/input/input2

But inside /dev/input I still only have js0 and js1.

Have you ran an updated retropie_setup.sh and installed ps3 controller (from the setup script)?[/quote]
Yes, I’m using commit #4f210c3909.

Though when I go through the dialogs, the setup doesn’t recognize my PS3 pad being plugged into USB. But lsusb shows it as
[code]Bus 001 Device 005: ID 054c:0268 Sony Corp. Batoh Device / PlayStation 3 Controller"[/code]
