@mitu
Thank you for this tip!
The boot is faster disabling "wait for network"
and I don't have this text between splashscreen and emulation station.

So, for anybody having buggy bluetooth with 2 PS3 controllers
with a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and Retropie,
here is a solution:

disable wifi with [f4] "rfkill block wifi" disable wifi with @cyperghost 's script:

Thanks again everyone,
we are going to have fun with my friends! :D

*Temporary Fix *

Well I finally got to the bottom of this. Amiberry does not register when button 15 (select) or 16 (xbox) are pressed on an Xbox One 2016 Bluetooth pad (maybe some other Xbox pads as well). The short term solution is to assign the Hotkey to another button that is not used in Amiga emulation e.g. 14 (right analogue press).

Is it possible to make a dedicated Amiberry joypad config file in Retorarch that only Amiberry will pick up on. While I'm at it could I do the same for other emulators such as LR PCSX Rearmed?

Thanks to Horaceandthespider at Github for help in resolving this.

Thanks for the update, it's interesting to follow your way to a working solution.

Yeah, it seems that it is a kind of game of chance to get the right BT controllers for the Pi, may it be that I was lucky or you and @gpmcty were unlucky.

And yes, it seems to be either direct connection without the home key, or using an adapter. Ironically, I'm fine with my adapter although I don't use the home key anyway. :)

@TheSkyrish It seems this is a mobile geared device - for IOS and Android - so it might not be compatible. Looking over some reviews and specs, it seems to have a 'mode switch' between different conenction modes (Gamepad/Mouse/ICade ?).
Can you try switching between them, re-pair and see if it's detected as gamepad ?

@theretroprince I solved the problem of Hotkeys not saving. All I had to do was cp the retroarch.cfg from configs/all to configs/snes. It looks like there was a problem individual core configs.

@theretroprince said in Xbox One Blue Tooth Joy-Pad Connection Problem:

@lip9571 The udev rules are an option that you can automatically set in RetroPie-setup. They just write a line of configuration to your bluetooth rules. It is not enabled by default. As long as you haven't enabled them, you don't need to concern yourself with them. If you have enabled it, you can disable it within the Bluetooth setup in RetroPie-Setup.

Thanks for the reply. I got it all working in the end all I need to do was re bind the buttons for Bluetooth in retro arch and it worked perfect

Hi,
I'm having this exact same issue with ps3 controller. I went over to other thread to try and figure out own my on, but I'm very new to this and it is very hard to understand how to add the input.cfg.
I don't know where to even access that from. can you please help me and give some step by step guide?
You said you copy and paste a file? Can you please show me how to do that?

@webodan Please provide more details about your system - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@cebix I've now had the opportunity to open a few 8bitdo controllers up now from different lines. It honestly appears to me that the boards are identical between old a new models of the same type. For example, I switched the buttons and board from one of the older SF30s into one of my new SN30s and it was an exact match. When I swapped them around the only difference was the sticker and slight difference in grey color. I'm pretty sure the difference is just cosmetic and the stock firmware.

I have read that there were changes to the wireless radio, but you would need somebody with more specialized knowledge than me to verify that.

The finally solution for me was manage the relationship 1:1, one speaker with one dongle (USB). For spread the sound on all speaker i used an virtual audio card with "paprefs". Maybe we'll see this skills on new Bluetooth versions.

I went through the FC30 stage, and ultimately moved on to Xbox One bluetooth controllers due to them being a little easier on my carpal tunnel. I had horrible problems with bluetooth disconnects on both, until I purchased/installed a USB Bluetooth adapter. Now, I have no problems at all. You'd be surprised how much this helps.

Might want to check out my advice here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/19950/xbox-one-blue-tooth-joy-pad-connection-problem/3

I believe you should only need to follow items 4 and 5 as the other instructions are Xbox One bluetooth specific. (Basically - Buy/install the adapter, disable onboard bluetooth, re-pair your joysticks/edit any additional configs items)

Hi, you can configure a standard keyboard to make EmulationStation not ask you for a controller on start-up, even if the keyboard not present. You can accomplish this in two ways (any of which only needed once):

Connect a standard USB keyboard and configure it in ES like any other controller.

If you are proficient with accesing the config files (SSH, Samba) and don't have a keyboard at hand, you can add the following snippet to /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_input.cfg to add a keyboard with standard mappings:

<inputConfig type="keyboard" deviceName="Keyboard" deviceGUID="-1"> <input name="pageup" type="key" id="113" value="1"/> <input name="start" type="key" id="13" value="1"/> <input name="down" type="key" id="1073741905" value="1"/> <input name="pagedown" type="key" id="119" value="1"/> <input name="right" type="key" id="1073741903" value="1"/> <input name="select" type="key" id="1073742053" value="1"/> <input name="left" type="key" id="1073741904" value="1"/> <input name="up" type="key" id="1073741906" value="1"/> <input name="a" type="key" id="115" value="1"/> <input name="b" type="key" id="120" value="1"/> <input name="x" type="key" id="97" value="1"/> <input name="y" type="key" id="122" value="1"/> </inputConfig>

This snippet has to be added between existing <inputList> and </inputList> tags.

An added benefit of configuring a keyboard is that if you don't have any controllers handy you can always plug a keyboard and control ES with it. Good luck!

After trying everything, I gave up. I've reverted back to 4.4 and won't update until the image on the main site changes. Thanks for the help though.

Hi.

I am on v4.4 and got it by getting downloading the image onto my sd card.
