Once you have confirmed the controller connects, exit ds4drv with Ctrl+c, the controller will disconnect. This is the computer I'm currently using which is beeing gutted to fit into my bartop : without a touchscreen what would be the point and with the i5 lowest possible configuration. Videogames in the 1980s were quite different from the latest crop of frag -'em- till- you're- dead point-and-shoot games. Thank you very very much!!! If you plan to use another package besides RetroPie the above units will likely work but be sure to check first. I recently purchased the following items in an attempt to get a little emulation box going.
This helps you make changes to the distro without heading back to the command line. Unfortunately I followed them exactly, and I get the same results. The Xbox Wireless Controller is now connected but in order to use it in Retropie, we need to configure the inputs. If your controller has been detected, it's listed as js0. I don't know how people don't notice that lag as you can tweak the tits off it and it still lags noticeably and that ruins the whole feel of the emulation for me. It seems that the bluetooth device name doesn't always appear after searching for the first time.
Works on all Raspberry Pi versions including the Pi Zero. What the heck is going on?? You advice is greatly appreciated. The game controller web application also provides haptic feedback — if you find it irritating, you can deactivate it by taking your device off vibration. I rebooted once again, making sure the controller gets discovered and connects at boot. It only works when you manually start it. This whole linux stuff is absolutely new for me, i just read alot and tried…it works and thats all i need greetz Thanks, this helped a lot! Like you I tried everything.
