Looking for Rippa P3 Game Controller Drivers

[Cyfershepard]

I recently decided to use my old controller as the one i use now broke. But its been lying away for so long that i lost the driver disk and was wondering if anyone knows where i can find it, does Rippa have a website or does anyone have the disk and is willing to create an iso of it and send it to me?

Do you still need the drivers?

I got two drivers for you, both from the original CDs that came with two different model controllers. One is the PS3 type "almost bluetooth" controller, and the other PS2/PS3/PC 2.4Ghz wireless usb dongle type controller.

Both of these Rippa controllers are rebranded "Shanwan" controllers. I found the controllers worked out of the box with windows drivers when connected to usb or via the usb 2.4Ghz dongle but NOT bluetooth*. Installing the proper shanwan driver does enable the vibration motors and have slightly better configuration settings but still does not solve the bluetooth issue*. I suspect either of these drivers will work for any shanwan-based controller but is not really needed (very few pc games actually support vibration controllers). That being said:

575STD-modify-uninstall.exe

Came with Rippa RA818: Sony playstation 2/3 & PC compatible, 3-in-1 wireless gamepad controller
2.4 Ghz USB dongle type controllers

BM-732 PS3Setup.exe

Came with Rippa RA902BSP: Playstation 3 and pc compatible wireless BT controller
*Bluetooth does not work with PC unless you override your bluetooth stack drivers with additional "playstation flavour bluetooth" stack drivers. e.g. go down the "scptoolkit" rabbithole at your own risk - watch out for them virusses. Also supposedly you loose standard bluetooth functionality to other BT devices, which can be mitigated by using a dedicated/additional BT USB dongle.

Which Rippa controller model do you have?

 

[ramzzey]

i have the one with 575std driver, can't seem to detect it on my pc

Cool!!

Windows 11 Seem to pick it up via USB (BM-732) no driver or dongle install needed:



Still no luck on Bluetooth, Not that I care much as I use it with Batocera anyway that don't need any hoops to work. Just thought I would check and report as I have it in my bag today.

You may be able to re-assign buttons in either the game settings, or (if using steam) through the steam controller setup. Steam's controller support far exceeds everyone else. If you aren't using steam, launch your platform (e.g. EPIC launcher) via steam first (add it to your steam library as a custom / user executable).

Open the controller and move the buttons to where you want them, works everytime

That's great. Well done for literally thinking outside the box. Or is that inside...

I have the BM-732 controller, installed its drivers but nothing, what could i do now

I am not familiar with that model number. What does it say on the box? I.e. Wireless compatible with PS3 and PC etc.?

My generic comment:

• "P3" or PS3 compatible wireless controllers will connect to PC via usb (wired mode) as a normal usb controller. To get wireless to PC you must override your bluetooth drivers with scptoolkit or similar (see here).
• "P2" or PS2 compatible wireless controllers connect to PC wirelessly using the supplied 2.4GHz usb dongle only. Direct wired connection to PC does not work. The micro USB port on these controllers are only for charging.

Having a bluetooth issue with my ra902b, does anyone have a driver for it or can point me where to find it, as it did not come with a disk, I get it to pair but it wont stay connected

I had the Rippa RA902BSP, which used PS3 specific "bluetooth". The controller would not work on Windows via bluetooth, unless connected via the micro USB cable. Promptly returned it. The drivers for it is still available in this thread but I doubt it will solve your problem. Supposedly this PS3-flavoured bluetooth works with some retro gaming linux distros, and if you bend over backwards, can be forced to work with Windows by overwriting your bluetooth drivers with scptoolkit (YMMV). Not recommended.

If it used to work via bluetooth and suddenly stopped, open it up and clean the pcb with pure isopropanol. The sticky soldering flux were probably left on these cheap boards, causing problems. Had to do this with my P2 controllers or they would drop wireless dongle connections.

doesn't seem worth the trouble honestly, it never worked with bluetooth, so it's probably driver related, it works while plugged in so ill just use it like that until i can get an official controller.
