Xbox One S Bluetooth - ROMs take 45 seconds to load

[Entropie]

Thanks, @willinliv it does work properly (~5 seconds load) when plugged in. So that means it's definitely the bluetooth causing the delay. Just not sure what to do about it. We've tried changing the xboxdriver. Looking into how to set XInput, if that's possible.

I guess there's a handshake or something occurring and it times out, maybe tries different drivers or something. Hard to say. We've re-built this PI already to see if that helped.

I've seen similar reports either in the forums or in the RetroArch's bug tracker - always associated with an Xbox compatible controller. If you have 8Bitdo, they have different modes of communication (Android/Switch/PC) that you can change and it makes a difference.

For an Xbox One S controller, I'd recommend installing a separate driver - https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo - it seems to work better.

Awesome, thankyou. That's worked. That's taken 3 evenings of faff, so cheers for the steer. Even got a rumble on startup! :D

@mitu
I'm having the same issue as op, but I'm really new to this, so I don't understand what I do with the github link. Do I follow his directions for Raspbian even though I'm running retropie?

@fellowcrohnie from emulationstation, drop to the command line (press f4)

Then run each of these three commands in order:

git clone https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo.git
cd xpadneo
sudo ./install.sh

Then type sudo reboot for good measure. After reboot re-pair your Xbox one controller and remap if needed.

This solution worked for me too, thxs.

@quicksilver thanks so much for this!

Thanks! This worked great. I assumed the driver was causing this. Always saw the Xbox controller connected pop-up after the 45 second loads. As a note for others, I had to reconfigure my controller and keyboard as they were a little wonky after the install.

@quicksilver you are a god man, i have been searching for a solution for this for days and you saved me. Thank you so much.
