      Hi! After the 6.1-DragonBlaze (RPI3+) update, the PS3 gamepad stopped working. When trying to reinstall writes that is not supported. How to be?

        Hi,
        I also use a rpi3+ and a ps3 dualshock3 controller (not a sixaxis) on a fresh install of 6.1 and everything works very well.
        Few question:
        dualshock3 or sixaxis ? (but I don't know if it makes a difference.)
        fresh install ?
        work with cable ?
        another pad ?

          Stood 6.0, yesterday was updated to 6.1 on wifi. After rebooting, the controller did not connect. In the controller settings, I deleted all BT devices and searched for new ones. The controller was found, but when you try to install the system gave a message that it is not supported.

            If it worked yesterday, it's probably not a hardware problem.
            Since the release of 6.1, I read several times that updating 6.0 to 6.1 could cause problems.
            Make a clean update perhaps? (it's fast if the games/save/bios are on usb key)

            Or wait for someone who has gone through the same update process rather than a fresh install, has the same problem and find a solution.

                  On the PS3 controller I press the button with the PS logo, in the system menu I choose the option, it seems, BT controllers search...

                    I think I understand what's going on! First you need to configure the controller through the wire:)

                      @aggarti you don't pait PS3 Controllers through the ES menu.

                      You need to:

                      1. Connect them through the usb cable with your recalbox
                      2. Wait about 10 seconds
                      3. Unplug the cable and press the PS button

                      After a few seconds the controller usually vibrates and gets paired. If not, try again the above procedure.
