I'm using a Genuine Sony PS3 DualShock Wireless Controller and it works great ! Big Grin

IMO the best is a PS3 Dualshock connected with bluetooth. Also I use a PS4 dualshock connected with USB (not to lose bluetooth pairing with my ps4) and I tried a XBOX 360 controller with a chinese adaptor and it also works flawlessly. Some users also use 8bitdo gamepads and also work.

+1 for this addon. It works really well and makes setup of emulators on RPi with Kodi really easy. Getting close to being a perfect solution with my addon. Thanks for making this bite_your_idols Big Grin

RE: [Pi] Gamestarter: Easy retrogaming addon for Raspberry Pi. - Ruckus - 2016-06-21

stupid question time. is there a way to quit a game and go back into kodi? button combo or something?

when in a game, press menu button (ps button in dualshock, xbox button in xbox360controller) and you will open retroarch menu, then select exit retroarch. You will return to kodi. You can edit your gamepad config file and assing a shortcut, for instance I assigned ps button + select to quit retroarch...


RE: [Pi] Gamestarter: Easy retrogaming addon for Raspberry Pi. - User 184124 - 2016-06-22

I have Gamestarter configured to Launch "Emulation Station" by Default ... and this is how it works with my PS3 Controller to return to KODI

While playing a Game ... to exit, press the PS button on the controller which brings up the Retroarch menu, select "Exit Retroarch" then press "X" which then returns to the "Emulation Station" menu ... and then press "Start" on my PS3 Controller and select "Quit" and press "X"

and you're back to the Kodi Main Menu Smile
