3rd party PS3 Controller (SHANWAN) with Kodi Leia

[SchmidiGonzales]

Hi Tom,

I’ve just installed RetroPie and the addon launcher. But because of a known issue I had to add a line to the RetrOSMC installation script as seen below:

[HowTo] RetroPie and OSMC: Retrosmc - Retrogaming on OSMC

@birdmanofalcatraz @scottmbritton @Onizuka @ender11122 I had already typed out a reply how I could second your description of the problem because I, too, ran into it yesterday during a reinstall. Of all the search engine results for /usr/bin/emulationstation Segmentation fault $es_bin “$@”’ there was one which I hadn’t read yet, and it turned out to contain the solution. Shoutout to hakuya on Github who posted the solution: So if this isn’t self-explanatory, ssh into your RetrOSMC installa…

After this I could install the ps3controllers in RetropieSetup, Manage packages, manage driver packages. Then in configuration / options I could install the PS3 Driver (Shanwan) and after that I paired it with "Pair PS3 controller (clone support shanwan).

Now it works in Kodi too

Hopefully the OSMC Team can have a look into this issue.
And maybe someday it won’t be needed anymore to install Retropie just to pair a Shanwan clone with OSMC.

Thx a lot for your troubleshooting!
Kind Regards
