What do you need an older version for?
I don't need an older version, I need a modded HID version of RetroArch.

As you can see in the video, the guy uses a PS3 controller with no problems with this version and its says libretro wii retroarch hid in the menu. I have the same setup, the same controller connected in the same way and it doesn't work no matter what I do. I tried different versions of RetroArch, including a regular version 1.2.2 the latest version of it.

So, I assume the guy uses some special HID version of RetroArch which enables use of a PS3 controller. That's why Im looking for it.

I already saw that folder and downloaded couple of old RetroArch versions from it, including RA-HEXAECO, but it doesn't have that special modded (or whatever) HID version of RetroArch.

My goal is to get my PS3 controller work with RetroArch Wii and it seems that it is the only version that makes a PS3 controller work with no problems.

Founf this: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/7015

It seems it's not a modified version of RetroArch but an actual feature that was present in old versions of RetroArch-Wii.

So, if anyone can find 1.7.0 and earlier and owns PS3 controllers, test it with RA-Wii 1.7.0 and earlier.

EDIT: Scenebeta never fails to amaze me, they owns 1.7.0 versions and earlier: https://wii.scenebeta.com/noticia/retroarch-wii

EDIT: So I'm curios if anyone can see RetroArch-Wii code to see what went wrong with HID support being broken from 1.7.1 onwards and bring it back to newer versions? Could that be possible?

Yeah, I did the same (in english, don't know if he speaks it). Hopefully, he reuploads the file. Let me know if he answers you.

I've seen that discussion. I tried several versions before 1.7.0.,including a regular version 1.2.2. My ps3 controller won't respond. So, i don't think its an actual feature. Moreover, the version in the video reads libretro retroarch wii hid in its title. So, I believe it is some sort of a mod that adds additional support for hid controllers or something.

It clearly said to use a configuration file. Have you got that configuration file?
File I'm talking is: "autoconfig assets" which means there's probably an .ini file to get HID controllers recognized.

Yeah, yeah, of course, I downloaded that autoconfig.zip archive with a bunch of controller .cfg files. I even checked and there was a ps3 controller .cfg file in the hid folder of that archive. Or you're talking about something else?
