Try installing the xpadneo driver - https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo - and then configure the controller normally via Bluetooth.

I don't have a HDD attached at this time. I won't until Kodi is operational on the Pi 4. I had to use the manual set up to get emulationstation up and running. I am not sure it fully took. I looked under "retroarch" in the menu and see no core, even after I have installed cores.

You should try out the xpadneo driver: https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo see the section under install. This is specifically designed to work with the bluetooth xbox one controller model 1708.

@pikey first off, its worth noting that you need to install a driver for the ps3 controller to connect, so if you havent done that yet, i sugest you try that first, via the retropie setup. also linux is not windows, so the fact that it works in windows, dosnt automaticly mean it also works in linux. does the bluetooth adapter work as expected with other bluetooth devices in linux? edit: also, are you using an original controller?

@matchaman Ah, I misunderstood the concurrently part. I don't think it's possible from within the emulator, but maybe something external to combine the 2 inputs into 1 virtual gamepad (like xboxdrv ).

@demonscythe hey, i have 2 m30 controllers and work great with raspberry pi. how are you setting up your controls in emulationstation, and which games are you playing. I had this issue Ok by default sega genesis will be funny like X will be A and A will be B and B will be C, but lets start with emulation station, i mapped my keys with b is a and a is b. For example When mapping set B on controller as A and switch them X is y and Y is X Z is L shoulder and C is R shoulder L trigger is top L and R is top right. Also make sure you are pairing with Switch mode. Start+Y then press pair and reboot your raspberry pi. Hope this helps

Oh I missed it! Thanks so much!

The USB is rather OK, has been from the start. Only issue is that the home hotkey doesn't work. But I bought this for BT, and as I have no experience, I thought it really is 8Bitdo. I was fooled by the ebay sellers having 8Bitdo in the topic. I only yesterday found out it is not 8Bitdo :(

@mitu I had already tried de/re-registering the controller multiple times to no avail. But I'm going to run that firmware downgrade mentioned in the sticky, and if it fixes things I'll post in the sticky about my experience so that people will know if it affects WiiU controllers too.

Thank you @mitu , but the problem is still present. Ich will put my experience to the other topic.

@Efriim well thec64 mini doesnt even have a boot folder or 99.9% of linux in it. They made that thing absolutely bare bones as possible. I did discover that the ppsspp emulator on the pi uses a gamecontrollerdb.txt. I added theMayflash adapter to the gamescontrollerdb.txt and then tested in the emulator and the hats work fine. So i am not sure what the c64 mini’s problem is. I do however have a raphnet chip for wii classic controllers that i can solder up the wires to tomorrow to see if that one is working.

@mitu thanks.

@AssPunchMan said in PS3 Shanwan Controller lossed on every update: Its possible fix this? update without loss the PS3Controller pairs. The upgrade that broke the PS3 controllers - the Linux kernel - also broke other Bluetooth controllers and it's not under the project's control. It's a badly timed bug, but that's not something that happens regularly. If you wish to not be bitten by such situations, then only upgrade the packages you need (for bugfixes or new features) and skip the OS and driver upgrades.

@Felixoid said in Cannot configure 8BitDo M30 controller shoulder buttons: @psyke83 Hello. I've built a binary from the master, but the shoulders still don't work on the M30 pad. Could you tell if they already should work? It should work on the latest dev branch, yes. Is your controller definitely using axes 2 & 5 for triggers (considering differences in firmware/pairing mode)? Note that the axis filtering is done only when defining the trigger buttons, so if you're doing non-standard mapping to buttons other than the triggers, it won't work.

@cyperghost thanks will check that link out! I switched everything round, loaded up a random playstation game (2002 Fifa World Cup) and hit various hotkey combos (save state, load state, retroarch menu, exit emulator) a few times. All seemed to work without issue. The main test will be a longer play with testing throughout so will see how it goes.
