GUID for "PS3 Controller (Bluetooth)" has wrong bustype. about sdl_gamecontrollerdb HOT 5 CLOSED

Can confirm; it should definitely be a 5 instead of a 6. Is 6 even a bus type? If so, what would it be?

from sdl_gamecontrollerdb.

Well, on my system it's also bus type 5. But a search for "ps3 bus 006" revealed that it can indeed be 6, for some people. Maybe this was fixed in a recent driver?
So, I think it's best to keep the old mapping and just add a new one with bustype 5.

I've no objections. :)

Just for the record, bus type 6 is BUS_VIRTUAL [0] and was introduced in back in 2006 [1] for (surprise!) virtual devices. I have no problem with keeping the old mapping for compatibility, but I think it shouldn't be necessary anymore on modern systems.

I have also done the search [2] mentioned by @Hinsbart, but all the results for "bus 006" seem to be from the virtual Linux root hub and not from the actual controller, so this might be a false positive.

Fixed by adding duplicate entry with the alternative GUID.
