    I was having similar problems at the start of this week, I assumed it was just a bad connection at my end. I eventually managed to get it downloaded after many, many tries from the Google Drive link.

    I’ve been having another search around for this problem and found the following thread:

    http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/46856/when-using-my-ps3-controller-as-a-gamepad-how-can-i-turn-it-off-properly

    They’re using a program called MotioninJoy’s DS3 tool for PC and having the same problem as me. It turns out this software has a “disconnect” button that tells the controller to turn off.

    If it can be done on a PC I’m sure it can be done on a Raspberry Pi. I guess we’d need to find the disconnect command and trigger that during the shutdown sequence. Does anyone know how to go about finding out what the disconnect command would be?

    Thanks for your quick reply dudleydes.

    Sounds like it’s something that’s completely uncontrollable from the Raspberry Pi side then. If I wanted it to stop I’d probably have to hack the controller itself which is starting to get a bit messy.

    My current solution is as you say; unplugging the PS3 while I’m using the Pi, but I just thought I’d post to see if anyone has come up with an alternative.

    Typical. I just ordered my first Raspberry Pi two days ago (B+) specifically for making a Retro Pie. Sounds like the new model will be much better for this project…just my luck : )

    I’ve been contemplating a similar project to this myself, either using an NTSC SNES or NES cartridge case.

    Sadly I can’t help you with your question but I’d love to know if you’d made any progress with this as I love your design.
