      RPi4
      4.6.4
      Retropie Wesite
      Argon1 Case and PSU
      USB Keyboard and Mouse reciever, 1tb external drive

      ok so i had no problem with the nightlies that i was running but when i updated to the 4.6 from the wesite i cant get bluetooth to work with my PS4 or WiiU Pro(Nockoff) controllers. i get an error Creating device failed: org.bluez.Error.AuthenicationFailed: Authentication Failed but when i go to remove device its there(along with some random ones that werent there before) and wont connect. The WiiuPro controller gets this message while the lights are still blinking and the ps4 takes so long and stops blinking before the error occurs. ive tried this on both usb dongle (asus BT400)

        The Wii U Pro controller has a - relative - short pairing time (approx. 20 sec) and the controllers shuts down before you get to the list of discovered bluetooth gamepads in the RetroPie pairing dialog.
        What I do is

        • press the Sync button before choosing Register and Connect to Bluetooth Device
        • press on the Register and Connect..
        • when presented with the list of controllers, press sync again and choose to pair the device, choosing the 1st option (DisplayYesOrNo). The controller will pair and the pairing lights will stop blinking.

          ok so that may not have been my problem but i did get it paired but the only change i did was for something else which was turning off hardware acceleration cause it would crash when trying to scroll through games. dont have any idea how there connected though. but after that paired just fine.
