PS3 gamepad stopped working

[Aggarti]

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.

@aggarti how are you trying to pair PS3 controllers?

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...

[Aggarti]

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.
