Ok, thank you Paradalf.
I will find a dongle.

Hello paradadf,

Thank you for your help.

I just try as you say, when I unplug the controller to hold 10 secondes the home button.
And unfortunately, I read later that the bluetooth of the RPi3 is not supported and I do not have a dongle.

Is it possible to use the controller with the USB cable without using bluetooth ?

Hello everybody,

I have a problem with my ps3 controller Shanwan on a raspberrypi 3 (Recalbox 4.0.0.Beta5).
Here's what I tried to do with the officially documentation :
https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Manual-(EN)#ps3controllers

• Start the raspberrypi3.
• Wait until the home screen appear.
• Here plug with a usb cable my ps3 controller Shanwan.
• Leds of my controller will flash.
• I wait almost 15 seconds.
• I unplug my controller who continue to flash.
• I wait almost 15 seconds.
• The controller doesn't stop to flash.
• So I plug a second time my controller.
• Here, he stop to flash.
• And I have 2 leds who are fixed : not only one like on my ps3.
• I can't use my controller even if I try to hold the home button.
• The raspeberry didn't detected this controller didn't ask to configure all buttons.
• And the controller vibrate and never stop to vibrate.

So I search and I found this :
https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Troubleshooting-dmesg-output-(EN)

• So I unplug My controller.
• And I run dmesg as root with the ssh access, my controller is not detected (unpluged).
• And I plug my controller.
• Run dmesgas root with the ssh access.
• I found my controller.

So I discovered that my controller is a Shanwan, so I continue to search and I found this :
https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/PS3-controllers-drivers-(EN)

• So I use the root ssh access.
• I modify this file : /recalbox/share/system/recalbox.conf
• I modify this options : controllers.ps3.driver=shanwan
• Restart the raspberrypi3 with this command line : reboot
• Wait until the home appear.
• Try to plug my ps3controller.
• I can't use my controller even if I try to hold the home button.
• The raspeberry didn't detected this controller didn't ask to configure all buttons.
• And the controller vibrate and never stop to vibrate.

Anyone have an idea, how to connect a Shanwan PS3 Controller on a rasperryPI3 with RecalBox 4.0.0Beta5 Please ?

On the documentation, they say to copy and past on the forum all information from the dmesg commande line to find some help, here is the informations.

Thank you for every one who help me to solve this problem.
