Pi 3 with RetroPie 3.7 and later: Use the onboard Bluetooth.Pi 1 or Pi 2 or Pi Zero: Use a USB Bluetooth adapter as these models do not have onboard Bluetooth.The source code and further description is available at: Userspace Controller Driver (ds4drv)ĭs4drv is a userspace driver which allows the Dualshock 4 to be used when regular Bluetooth does not work. If firmware is the reason, it's likely that System Software 3.50 (April 6th 2016) is the changeover, although it may be an even earlier update. The reason why all controllers don't work like this is not clear but controller firmware is suspected to be the reason - with "old" firmware able to be used as a regular Bluetooth controller and "new" firmware not able to be used this way - however it may also be some other non-obvious reason. If EmulationStation doesn't respond to button presses, then your controller cannot be used this way. If EmulationStation does respond to button presses, lucky you, you're done. Once paired, see if EmulationStation will recognise the controller. Choose the first/top/default method of pairing in the menu.Register and Connect to Bluetooth Device.802 - bluetooth (as of RetroPie v4.2, it is now listed as 804 - bluetooth).If it doesn't work, then proceed to the next heading about ds4drv. Not all PS4 controllers can be used this way!!! Repeat with additional adapters and controllers as required. The USB adapter light and controller light bar will go solid, they are now paired.Put the controller into pairing mode with Share and PS.The USB adapter blinks faster, this is the "pairing" signal.Push the adapter in more, it moves slightly inwards, and hold for 3 seconds.Plug in the USB adapter, it will slowly blink, this is the "searching" signal.One adapter can pair one controller, though multiple adapters can be plugged into the one Pi to allow use of multiple controllers. To the Raspberry Pi and RetroPie, the controller appears as a regular wired USB controller and no additional software setup is required. This add-on product made by Sony does the Bluetooth pairing in hardware. If you are concerned about power usage, charging the Dualshock battery can use up to 500mA of power. The light bar will glow dull blue when the controller is in use as a USB device this way. Just plug the USB-A into the Raspberry Pi and the Micro USB into the controller. It does not need to be connected to a USB host like the Dualshock 3 did. The Dualshock 4 can charge off either a USB host or a USB charger. The light bar will pulse yellow while charging, and turn off when fully charged. To charge the controllerĬonnect the controller to any USB host (Raspberry Pi, powered USB hub, television USB port) or any USB charger (phone/tablet charger, USB battery, official or aftermarket controller charging station). The controller will automatically re-connect to anything it's already been paired to. Shutting down your Pi will also turn the controller off. Once the light bar turns off, the controller is asleep. To force the controller to go to sleep, hold the PS button for 10 seconds. The controller will not sleep on its own if left idle, it will remain on until the battery goes flat. To put the controller into pairing mode, press and hold the Share button then the PS button.Īfter a few seconds, the light bar will strobe rapidly and brightly. It depends on your individual controller. If you wish to use either a USB Bluetooth adapter or the Pi 3's built-in Bluetooth then regular Bluetooth pairing in the menu may work, or you may need to use the userspace controller driver called ds4drv. However, their method of d-pad input does not work with PPSSPP for PSP emulation.
