When I do that all cfg files are 0kb and the only way to get them back is to uninstall retroarch then install it again and launch it but I cannot navigate it to exit retroarch. config file until it is first launched, by that point it's loaded with no working keyboard or controller so I have to pull the plug. The problem I have is that retroarch doesn't create a folder within the. Ignore that last message, that seems to happen when I have to pull the plug on my pi when launching retroarch for the first time because the keyboard or controller doesn't work within retroarch so I can't exit it. Surely this must be a retroarch problem as they behave normal in kodi and emulationstation.Īnd surely im not the only one with this problem as i have 3 different sd cards here 1 working perfect on old libreelec, and i also have 4 original ps3 controllers to try and all do the same.

Ive even tried tried changing driver within kodi setting for the input from linux to udev and they both do the same. Then i turned on the player 2 controller that behaves in such a strange way the buttons do all different things than what they are suppose to.Īnd when that happens it also makes player 1 controller behave the same, even though before player 2 was turned on it would work fine. the le9.0.0 clean install didnt work at all in retroarch but worked in everything else, i added them autoconfigs from the link you sent, copied them over and the ps3 controller started to work as expected, but it is not using the Sony-PlayStation3-DualShock3-Controller-Bluetooth.cfg even though udev driver is selected for the input drive so i would assume it should still use the same config. The 9.0.0 (upgraded from 8.2.5) doesnt respond in retroarch whatsover no matter what i try.
#HOOKING UP PS3 CONTROLLER FOR WINDOWS 10 UPDATE#
Why do things never bloody work when updates come out lol, my computer has been playing up since the last windows update lol.Ĭurrently i have 3 sd cards here infront of my sat infront of my raspberry pi 3.ġ of them is libreelec 8.2.5 the other is 9.0.0 (which is updated from 8.2.5) and the last one is a clean install of 9.0.0.Ĩ.2.5 works perfect and i can edit the Sony-PlayStation3-DualShock3-Controller-Bluetooth.cfg file to match how i like my custom hotkey mappings no problem at all, all 4 of my controllers work fine in all 4 player games. I have loaded retroarch and can confirm that input driver is udev so im not quite sure what is happening here. I have restored this backup a couple of times when installing libreelec 8 fresh on new sd cards and it has always worked.īut now on libreelec 9 nothing changes anything to the controller when i replace that file so i believe libreelec 9 is using different config somehow. Once i had found the perfect mappings for myself i backed up the config onto my computer and the file came from the udev folder and is named "Sony-PlayStation3-DualShock3-Controller-Bluetooth.cfg" kind off obvious really as im using ps3 controller over bluetooth.
These are all custom mappings ive made to the config myself. I also have select+L1 as save state and select+R1 as load state etc.
I know this because i edit the config manually to enable hotkeys so that select+start exits retroarch back to emulation station. Ok downloading the autoconfigs and copying them over seems to work.įor some strange reason on le9 it seems that the ps3 controller is using a different config.
