Hello, I'm having the same issue here:

https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/25582/ps3-controllers-on-7-2-2-and-8-0-issue/2

I boot up the old Wolfanoz 1TB image and PS3 controller is working there. Under emulation station setup I'm able to connect it. If you want me to post any configuration let me know. We can compare it Recalbox. but I'm not linux master.

If I find out any solution I post it here.

Regards.

Jiri

So, I boot up Wolfanoz 1 TB and set up PS3 controller there and its working:

Hi everyone, I spent 2 days experimenting with 2 PS3 controllers connecting via Bluetooth. Somehow I was able to connect one, but after connecting the other I was unable to connect the first one. Even on fresh burn 32GB image from Wolfanoz. I tried everything.

I looked through these threads:

I have RaPi 4
and PS3 controllers:

Tomorrow I will try Emulation station 1TB from Wolfanoz - I think it was working there.

If you have any idea please let me know or at least try to post a controller version that is 100% compatible - I will order from eBay or 2nd hand.

Thank you
