What is RetroPie?
RetroPie allows you to turn your Raspberry Pi or PC into a retro-gaming machine. It builds upon Raspbian, EmulationStation, RetroArch and many other projects to enable you to play your favourite Arcade, home-console, and classic PC games with the minimum set-up. For power users it also provides a large variety of configuration tools to customise the system as you want.
RetroPie sits on top of a full OS, you can install it on an existing Raspbian, or start with the RetroPie SD image and add additional software later. It's up to you.
Since PS3 USB format should be the old 'FAT32' while most of the modern new USB drives come with widely used 'NTFS', users need first learn USB formatting for PS3. How to format PS3 to FAT32 file system. After we learned that PS3 USB format should be 'FAT32', the next part comes the most important. Jan 18, 2018 - Hi, Ages ago I plugged a fake PS3 controller which installed a driver. It saying it successfully stopped the sixad daemon and removed sixad. Uninstalled SCP Driver and Motion in Joy RetroPie Menu RetroPie Setup PS3 Controller Configuration Remove. Copy the archive to a temporary directory.
- My controller is a AfterGlow Wired controller plugged by USB to my Windows 10 computer, it works perfect in all other games like DeadSpace 3 or Dead Rising 3 or MAD MAX on the PC. Here is a link to see the controller.
- Nintendo's Switch controllers -- including the Joy-Cons and the aptly named Pro Controller -- use Bluetooth, which makes them compatible with your PC. Here's how to start using them for PC gaming.
- When I paired my Dualshock 4-Controller through Bluetooth to my Raspberry Pi 3, it connects successfully. But when I quit the Bluetooth-Settings, I get the message: NOTICE: The ps3 controller driver was temporarily interrupted in order to allow compatibility with standard Bluetooth Peripherals.
What is an Emulator?
An emulator is software that makes a computer behave like another computer, or in the case of RetroPie a computer that behaves like a video game console such as the Super Nintendo. The RetroPie SD image comes pre-installed with many different emulators. Additional emulators may be installed from within RetroPie.
What are ROMs?
ROMs are digital versions of game cartridges. Loading up a ROM in an emulator is the equivalent of putting a cartridge in a game console.
ROMs are copyrighted content and as such are not included with RetroPie.
What is a BIOS?
A BIOS is a small piece of software that tells hardware how to work. Many emulators emulate their system's BIOS, but others require you to supply a BIOS file. If a BIOS is required, the emulator's page will say so.
BIOSs are also copyrighted and are therefore not included with RetroPie.

You should use sixad/QtSixA http://qtsixa.sourceforge.net/ . Just install from the repo and pair with sixpair while the sixaxis is connected with usb, and then connect with Bluetooth by pressing the PS button.
Connect with USB
Disconnect sixaxis from USB
press PS button to connect over bluetooth

Sorry to be that guy but compiling from source worked for me and the PPA has been pretty quiet for a while now (not weird at all considering the GitHub hasn't been updated in 4 years and the 'final' version was released around the same time), so don't hold your breath for a xenial package.
The excellent guide I linked gives you a few commands to download all prereqs and compile but I will summarize here:
You are able to connect the controller to the pc via usb cable. This is supplied with a PS3 device (it is the primary way to charge the controller). I don't know how to connect the controller via bluetooth to your computer (if you even have a bluetooth receiver), so this answer focusses on usb connection. It might be that the controller already works if you do this (You can test this with jstest-gtk as listed below). I use another similar PnP controller, and it works without difficulty.
if it does not work automatically, this link might answer your question. In summary:
- install xboxdrv from the Ubuntu Software Center or with
sudo apt-get install xboxdrv
- start xboxdrv with
sudo xboxdrv --detach-kernel-driver
- If you press the Playstation button, the computer will receive its input and simulate it as an Xbox 360 controller, which should work the same as the playstation controller.
You can test the functionality of your controller through Jstest-gtk (install: sudo apt-get install jstest-gtk
)
Good luck, let me know if it works.
PPA won't work on Ubuntu Xenial derivates but there is a solution. If you have Ubuntu 16.04 and would like to use qtsixa
, you can use these commands to trick the PPA into thinking that you’re running 15.10:
Change the following lines to the values below:
and save.
Now install the PPA for qtsixa
. Then copy the original lsb-release
file back to were it was.
Now you can reboot.
Useful for using Intel Graphics Installer for Linux™ too, tested in Linux Mint 18 thanks to this post.
On Ubuntu 15.10/16.04 and Linux Mint 18, you can still use the QtSixA PPA, but specifying 'vivid' as the Ubuntu version (15.04), since that was the last officially supported version. To do so, execute the following:
Retropie Controller Not Working
Note: as far as I can tell, the GUI based application is no longer useful, at least to detect and connect controllers through Bluetooth. Because of that, you need to use the command line-based applications, i.e. sixad
and sixpair
Quickbooks. Edit: Apparently and according to my tests, sixad automatically starts at the boot, but doesn't work at all when that happens, having to stop it an re-start it to make it to work. To prevent sixad from being started at the boot, you have to execute:
Retropie Ps3 Controller Driver Was Temporarily Interrupted To Work
and, when you're going to use it, execute:
Ps3 Controller Driver Win 7
of course, all the above is because QTSixA is no longer supported. The PS3 and PS4 controllers are supposed to work natively in Linux, but I still prefer to use it instead of the native support. I haven't been able to connect my PS3 controllers natively, and when I use QTSixA, I can do other things like specify the Bluetooth MAC address to be paired with.
I think I will mail the developer to know if it's possible for him to resume the support. I believe that only applying small modifications, the project could work properly out-of-the-box. And, even without doing anything, the PPA could still work.
