PS3 Gasia controller not pairing with RB 4.0.0

[leriton]

Hi everyone,

Thanks for this amazing project!

I'm trying to pair my PS3 Gasia controllers with Recalbox 4.0.0, and facing some difficulties. Those controllers worked fine with RB 3.2 with some adjustments

What I have done:

• reset the controllers
• edited recalbox.conf for Gasia controllers (see below)
• followed pairing process

Am I missing something obvious? Thanks in advance for the support!

I would love to provide more information if you point me where to find it.
Feel free to ask for details, as I said, I'm probably missing something.

Cheers!

@leriton Check all the drivers. GAsia pads are the most complicated ones as they really have their very own protocol that only partly complies with the genuine PS3.

Remember to plug the pad on USB for a good 10 seconds. The pad should rumble after a while. Once it rumbles, unplug it, and press the home button.

Please try the official driver as it has a few hacks for gasia.

Will try this, thanks for your suggestion.

Those exact same controllers works with Recalbox 3.2 using Gasia sixad binaries, see this thread (french) : https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/397/impossible-d-appairer-les-manettes-force-disconnect-of/7

Is it possible that Gasia drivers suddenly stopped to work for my controllers?

[Substring]

@leriton the drivers evolved since 3.2, that is the real reason. The official driver works with my gasia pad, i guess ypu are not as lucky as me

[leriton]

And now it works with official drivers! Thanks a lot for your help, really appreciate.

Cheers!
