Reply To: [SOLVED] 2 PS3 CONTROLLERS

Thank you asipsis for mentioning the 15 second delay. I just made two changes and now it seems like everything is working. Here’s what I did in case anyone else is facing the Can’t set scan mode on hci0: Network is down (100) error.

Step 1: Add a 15 second sleep command before EmulationStation starts.

cd /usr/bin/
sudo nano emulationstation

After the #!/bin/bash line, before the $es_bin, add the command sleep 15.
My script now looks like:

#!/bin/bash

sleep 15
es_bin="/opt/retropie/supplementary/EmulationStation/emulationstation"

nb_lock_files=$(find /tmp -name ".X?-lock" | wc -l)
if [ $nb_lock_files -ne 0 ]; then

Step 2: Change rc.local

cd /etc
sudo nano rc.local

Add the following 2 lines right before the “exit 0″ line:

hciconfig device up
hciconfig enable pscan
