Hello Everyone,
I have been searching hi and low and am need of some expert help. The issue I am having is once I pair my Dual Shock 4 controller over bluetooth it works until I go to a game.
Now, interestingly enough it will work in the game (If I turn off and re-pair the controller). It seems to behave like this in WIRED configuration too. So it is no isolated to bluetooth. Here is what I have been able to gather.
1. The controller works fine in Emulation station
2. Once I go to a game (retroarch specifc emulator) the emulator start up, sees the controller (there is a message at the bottom auto load config) and it stops working until I re-pair.. It will continue to work fine until I do one of the following. A) Exit the game. B) Go to the retroarch menu… It actually works fine in the menu but stops working when I resume the game. Then I have to turn it off and re-pair it again.
3. Interesting enough, once re-paired and I exit the game via the hot key, the controller works just fine in emulation station and in emulators that are not retroarch.
I have a RP2 , and tried using 3.3 and 3.4 versions of Wheezy. I have not found the strength to start all over with Jessie yet.
I hope someone else has seen this before and can point me in the right direction.
Other important notes.
1. I followed the guide here to get it working: http://blog.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/tutorial-retropie-with-dualshock-4-and-bluetooth/
2. I had issues getting controller configs to work properly and added the configs to the contollers to the retroarch.cfg manually.
Thank you all for your time and a big thanks to all involved in this wonderful project.
