      Hello all.
      So here is my problem, I installed a couple new games on my retro pi 4, I had everything working correctly and decided to add Atari and nes games for shits and giggles. My set up was litterly to play old school Nintendo and Sega stuff. Ps1 games but only final fantasy. I've delved into things and haven't found to much info so I assume it's user error, but my controller, an 8bitdo, just stopped on Bluetooth. It still works wired but it just will not recognize on Bluetooth. It used to and I didn't change anything I know of. Can I get a hint as to what direction to focus on?

        Is the controller charged ? If the battery is dead, it won't connect via bluetooth until charged.

          @mitu nope it's charged, I honestly think I might have filled up my memory card, and it now has no where to do file stuff. Is that a possibility? Would that effect the controller?

            If you're at 100% full, there cold be problems starting some system services - including bluetooth.
