[quote=7163]There was a issue raised at mame4all-pi repository that resolved the problem. Apparently there is code that rejects controllers with more than 6 axes.
Here is what I did. In a terminal, type
sudo nano home/pi/RetroPie/emulators/mame4all-pi/src/rpi/minimal.cpp
Comment out lines 168 to 174 so it appears as below.
// if (SDL_JoystickNumAxes(myjoy<em class="d4pbbc-italic">) > 6)
// {
// SDL_JoystickClose(myjoy<em class="d4pbbc-italic">);
// myjoy<em class="d4pbbc-italic">=0;
// logerror("Error detected invalid joystick/keyboard\n");
// break;
// }
Save and exit.
Next you need to recompile the code so type in the terminal.
cd home/pi/RetroPie/emulators/mame4all-pi/
make
Reboot and your PS3 controller should now work.

Hi newby here.. i’ve been trying to sort out my issues by following the prompts by some great people.. but im just at the last hurdle.. i finally got mame to work but the ps3 (wired) is not picking up… I have followed the guide from above but it still dosn’t pick it up.. I know it’s works as i can map the controller with in RetroPie. But when i go to tab and change the buttons it dosn’t pickup..
Can i have some help please..
