OK so I configure the controller but still when I try to play nintendo super nintendo or nintendo 64 it still doesn't let me use my PS3 controller I have to use my joystick on my arcade cabinet How do I get it to play nintendo 64 super nintendo playstation and nintendo on my PS3 controller
At 1:14 the system recognizes the controller as a Sony, if it says Shanwan than you have a fake. It will vibrate, and be a hassle to connect, except via usb chord to controller. The barcode ends in 225. Not to worry, a real PS3 controller is about $80, so you saved some money and have a chord controller instead.
I tried doing this with a Ps4 controller but for some strange reason it’s not showing up on the drivers list yet I can use it to play Gameboy games and Mame but then the override suddenly kicks in and the controller becomes non responsive very frustrating. Surely there has to be a solution to get rid of the override completely 🤔🙄
On most games I play to configure the buttons correctly per for each game circle=A, X=B, triangle=X, and square=Y. If the button configuration is correct game's like Mortal Kombat and Super Mario World's high punch, low punch, high kick, jump, and spin jump buttons will be mapped correctly.
Good video. I had a lot of issues when I first got into all of this but figured it out. All I use now are PS3 controllers. In my experience they work great with the X, O, triangle and Square mapped out in the SNES controller configuration.
Hi from France ! I'm installing my own RecalBox on Raspberry, and I loved your videos ! Thanks for your help and have a very nice time playing retro games !
I did everything in the video. It worked out. Played some games on the Raspberry pi and was having a blast, but when I went to play N64 I couldn't control the direction pad. Suggestions?
Had to come back to this again and it works great. I wish this Image would allow as easy of setup with the Wii U pro controller. It won't for some reason. Oh well. PS3 controller is good. Thanks
Is it possible to connect two PS3 (bluetooth) controllers to Retropie - Nostalgia Dreams Damaso? I have two controllers PS3, but I can only connect wirelessly to one each time. Either pad no. 1 or pad no. 2 works. If pad no. 1 works wirelessly, then pad no.2 only works on the cable. Conversely, if pad no.2 works wirelessly, pad no.1 only works on the cable. How to connect both pads wirelessly?
My ps3 controller doesn't work within ROMS but does work within the ES. What can I do? I've read a bunch of info on this but no solid solution could be found. Help!
I understand you're using the Wireless PS3 with the retropi, but what does the software use to configure the wireless controller? Is it possible to do with a desktop without retropi?
Hey Drew! Just subscribed but I have been going to your vids for along time. I just wanted to tell U how thankful I am to have someone like U go over all this stuff! I think what your doing is Amazing! I have not bought a Pi yet because I have everything on my Original Xbox (huge xbox collector) and have so many different builds (Coinops 8 Massive, Premium). Plus I have a modded 360 loaded! I'm a huge Console Arcade Joystick Collector so I have many different Badass Arcade Sticks that are very rare for alot of consoles! I wanna get a Pi so I can utilize my 2 PS3 MORTAL KOMBAT ARCADE STICKS! I was wondering all this time if I should go with a Modded PS3 or go for a Pi Build or Odroid for using these? These are the 2nd Gen MK Sticks that have the Beautiful Mahogany lacquered finish on the top! They have real true arcade parts in them! I bought one also for the 360 just because there so Amazing! If anything goes bad u can change the stick and buttons out. I believe it's all Happ Parts inside....well, I wanna be able to use these Sticks in a Arcade Cabinet or Pedalstool coming up in the basement! I dont know where to start with the Pi's and which with be the best for FINAL BURN & MAME? I just think these Sticks will be Great inside a cab with one of these builds. Let me know what U think and which direction U would go to utilize these sticks... ..Thanks Again
I am using retroarch on android tablet. I configured the ps3 controller and everything works in the menu but when I enter a game none of the buttons work
Hello, thank you for this video, im a noob and I followed the steps and they work, can you please do a video on how to setup the second ps3 controller to work wirelessly with my Pi. I plugged it in the Pi and setup the buttons, but when I pull the power cord it is not connected, I see that I am not the only one who has this problem. Another person asked if we can connect a second controller and all you said was Yes, no explanation, please explain how to set a second ps3 controller to work wirelessly with my Pi or do I have to buy a Bluetooth dongle
i have bits and pieces - you just download,. extract with 7zip (if its compressed) then you get an iso file then download a free pgrogram called etcher, then write the iso file to your micro sd card...put the sd card in your pi and then it should boot!
I can get my PS3 controller to work while plugged in, but it's not being recognized via bluetooth. The controller never stops blinking while it is on, even while I'm using it wired into the Pie. Any tips?
Great work man I was having problem connecting my ps3 controller with Bluetooth and now it's working and i like the vibration option My other images of retropie or recalbox dose not have that
I’m trying to install, but after install driver and a working Bluetooth connection, I can’t set input, when I go to the menu I only see sound settings and exit, how to get to the input?
So what am I doing wrong if after I restart the system my ps3 controller is not being recognized by the Pi? All it says is that there are 0 controllers recognized. thanks
Hi Drew , all wireless setup ok except a problem when using 2 sets of PS3 controllers. During game play , one of the controllers will lag badly. Does anyone else has such issues?
I'm having issues with mapping my PS3 controller buttons (wired or wireless) to some of the MAME inputs. I press Tab and can get into the config. My directional inputs work just fine..left, right, up, and down, etc. Select, Start, PS button and triggers all seem to work as well. For some reason, when I try to map the X, Square, Triangle, and Square to Button 1, 2, etc., none of them are recognized...it's very strange. These buttons work fine in Emulation Station, and other emulators.
I did literally everything as you mentioned but when Im supposed to remove the USB cable to pair the controller with bluetooth connection on the pi, the controller keeps on blinking with four lights and refuses to pair. What did I do wrong?
Hey Drew can Retropie be set to boot up the original PlayStation intro (the white SCEA, black PS screens) whenever you launch a new game? I've been searching everywhere, can't seem to find a solid answer, and that would be a huge piece of nostalgia for me.
Yes you just need to download that splashscreen and then add it to your pi through the network or transfer over a thumb drive:th-cam.com/video/ulpwDNr0tq4/w-d-xo.html
Drew, I was talking about playing the PlayStation intro each time a PSX game is loaded, not when the console is booted up. I know it can be turned on/off with some emulators like ePSXe, but was curious about Retropie's PSX emulator (which I believe uses ReArmed). Thanks
I have those dogdy generic Ps3 controllers with Raspberry Pi, problem is that sometimes the directional pad fails to respond while playing games is it the controller that's faulty or something to do with the bluetooth? It's seriously peeving me off! I brought this from Retro Gaming Systems Australia, never again!
Hi Drew Talks. Any idea how make more stronger the ps3 controller vibrations in retropie? I'm playing Metal Gear Solid with my pi and i feel very soft vibration. Thanks man
I have done all this but on the amiga games the select button is the fire button, does anyone know how to change it so the x or o will be fire? ive tried f12 during the game but can't seem to change it
Retropie couldn't find my PS3-Controller. I connected the Controller via USB-Cable and the 4 lights were blinking. Pressing a button for 3 seconds or more did nothing. Maybe i must purchase a dongle.
Can you help me to stop my ps3 controller vibrating? I'm connecting with a wire, not Bluetooth, also, the pad can't decide which port it belongs to, it keeps flashing on ports 1 and 3 ?
@@drewtalks hey man just to let you know, I've figured it out! I was using a ds3 controller as my 3rd controller, it was wired into the pi, but now I've taken the wire out of the controller it works ? I thought I'd need a dongle for the usb controller port, but the pi picks up the controller signal without a dongle ? This was all done with out being on my wifi, no Bluetooth alterations, nothing, straight from the factory? Anyway, it works !
You need to make sure you setup your hotkey, go back out to the main menu sleect start on your controller and go to configure controller, after you setup your a,b,c,d analog and dpad the last thing is the "hotkey" make sure your hotkey is "select"
@drewtalks I always feel like there's a little lag when I'm playing snes games with the PS3 controller. Specifically when I'm playing super mario world. Does anyone else feel the same?

Did you ever find out how to fix it? Having the same problem now.
So with the driver loaded, you didn't need to go through the bluetooth detect/registration in the config menus?
Yes, correct. Never went to that menu at all.

Work on emulation station but doesn't work on emulators. Via bluetooth btw
Why are triggers defined as buttons? ,it is not right. triggers must be in dreamcast.

Hey Drew how can I setup my 2nd PS3 controller via Bluetooth? I cant figure it out?
I'm having 0 luck.... refuses to connect via Bluetooth. Using a ps3 controller that came with ps3
Do you need a dongle for the Pi 2?
Hi drew talks I followed all the steps but it's still not connecting.
do you have a standard ps3 or generic?
I have a generic one. SMZY-POWER., LTD. PLAYSTATION(R)3 CONTROLLER. Please tell me that can work via bluetooth... Anybody know a fix??
@drewtalks
Managed to connect generic with shanwan driver but it doesn't work wireless with n64. do you know of a fix?
I'm having the same problem with N64 games
I tried this with the wire and my PS3 controller won't stop vibrating can anyone help?
try unplugging and back in or go to retroarch and turn off feedback
retroarch is select plus x while in game
give it to your girlfriend. She can probably figure it out! gyyuk gyyuk

Is it possible to run 2 PS3 controllers wirelessly and a wireless keyboard/trackpad with its own doggle at the same time?
2 ps3 controllers yes, not sure on the rest

I too would love to know how to set this up. If you could explain this one, it'd be well appreciated!
Retropie couldn't find my PS3-Controller. I connected the Controller via USB-Cable and the 4 lights were blinking. Pressing a button for 3 seconds or more did nothing. Maybe i must purchase a dongle.
you should not need to...may want to install the ps3 drivers in retropie setup
Mine connected and I followed the button setup exactly but none of them work. I even updated the driver for PS3 controller.
I got some no name ps3 controller and these instructions dont make it want to work fully.
Drew, you got some of the buttons wrong. The correct is:
B = X
A = 0
X = Triangle
Y = Square
Can you use/configure more than one ps3 controller wireless?
Yes,
I can Never get the buttons to work when i start the game. do you have any idea?
Same exact issue . That’s Why I’m watching
And wireless?
Can you help me to stop my ps3 controller vibrating? I'm connecting with a wire, not Bluetooth, also, the pad can't decide which port it belongs to, it keeps flashing on ports 1 and 3 ?
try plugging and unplugging or go to retroarch menu "select+x" go to controls and turn off vibrations

Unfortunately most Snes games lag from time to time especially when I play F1 Roc, tried to change the emulator but all to no avail.
Any idea how to use analogue sticks in game?
Yeah you have to reconfigure your controls and instead use your analog stick for the d pad. Or if your playing station you can do it in retroarch
DrewTalks thanks is it easy to do mate?
Will this work with PS4 controllers?
sergio urzua it's easy to setup lmao
