      Hi,

      I've modded an arcade stick to have the Ultimarc BlueHID as its controller board. The BlueHID controller is remarkable: fast to connect, no feeling of lag, and is very very flexible in its setup. It can operate as a mouse, keyboard and gamepad. I've tested it on MacOS, Windows and Raspbian, and it appears as a standard HID device and needs no custom setup. RetroPie, however, does want to use the controller at all. It does connect through Bluetooth, but none of the inputs are doing anything, and EmulationStation claims nothing is connected.

      I would love to get this working, and I was wondering if any of you had any leads. Is there some extra drivers/bios/anything I can look at? Does new controller types somehow need additional code or config files to work? I know some scripting, and could try to hack something up - but I would love some help as to where to start :)

        I got the Ultimarc BlueHID working after a fresh reinstall of the latest RetroPie 4.4. Which is great news, I can highly recommend this controller board with RetroPie!
