Dualshock 3 not working ? - gordie - 2016-04-30
Hi guys !
I'm running OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-6.95.2 on an intel NUC6I3SYH.
A friend lent me a Dualshock 3 controller to give a try with.
I activated Bluetooth, put the controller on USB, removed the USB, then the controller was recognized and worked. Quite nice !
So I bought two Dualshock 3.
I connected them the same way. They are both recognized as "Playstation®3 Controller" and OpenElec says they are "connected".
But... They are not working, and after a while they disconnect.
I did try to delete the 3 controllers in OpenElec, and re-connect them : again, they are all recognized, but only my friend's one is working.
I can't understand why...
I hardly doubt mine are fakes, since they look exactly the same, but I start to be afraid since I read a lot of topics about fake controllers. Still, mine seem to be officials.
Buttons feel the same, texture is the same, I can't spot anything different; except what's written on the back sticker :
The working one is model n°CECHZC2E, 3.7V, 300Ma.
The non-working ones are model n°CECHZC2U a1, 5V, 500Ma.
BTW, In OpenELEC, next to the devices, mine have a keyboard icon while my friend's one as a dualshock icon.
Can someone help me ?
Thanks !

I can confirm I got a clone, from Gasia Co.,Ltd.
Any chance to make it work with OpenELEC ?

Might be as simple as adding the PCI ID to the driver, so it's recognized as a dual shock controller vs a generic HID device.
