Yes it was set to background. I'm guessing it should be "default"? I've set the config to default and rebooted. Will run upstairs to check that the controller still works!

Thanks!

Hello! I've successfully connected my Xbox One Controller (model 1708) to my Pi3B via bluetooth, had to disable ERTM too. All buttons (including 'select') working. Using RetroPie 4.2

However, when I tried adding in my second Xbox One Controller (same model), It connected and mapped perfectly. When I tried configuring inputs in RetroArch, both controllers and USB keyboard stopped working.

I had to reboot and remove both controllers' BT connection and re-add the first one, it worked fine. Then tried and hooked up the second Xbox One Controller via USB to no avail. Tried it with a PS3 (via USB) worked fine.

Anybody know what's going on? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

Also can the controls be set up to over ride on more game specific basis

Pretty simple for RetroArch: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Configuration/#core-input-remapping

Hi,

I had a similar problem to the one you described here. The problem I found is that I had one older 8bitdo controller a new one. The old when had older firmware (v 2.7). Once I upgraded the firmware to version 3.x and followed the retropie 8bitdo guide everything worked fine.

This seems to be my exact problem. My WiFi is down until I pair (press a + b) my wiimote. As soon as the pairing is complete WiFi connects. I manually configured WiFi setting right out of the gate in /etc/network/interfaces. I then tried setting a static IP in /etc/dhcpcd.conf. Still problem persists.

Any thought on how to resolve this?

@mike1234 How?

It might be helpful for other users 😊

@JonathanK 3 separate commands. Wait for each one to do its' thing then enter the next. Yes F4.

It seems that indeed, the configuration itself was the problem.
When I reconfigured the controls in the libretro GUI menu, it overwrote the /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/xxxx.cfg files with some new values - different ones that jstest prints.
I had to edit the files for the special commands, like 'exit emulator', 'save', 'load', but basically it works now properly.
Interestingly the emualtionstation works as if nothing had been changed.
And nes, snes, psx games also understand now the key presses on my noname gamepads.
BTW: They are Terios T3, bluetooth stuff.

@nosunlight Did this get fixed magically for you by the update? 'm using Kodi 18.1 on Retropie 4.4 and while all the games on retropie run fine, the controller has no response in Kodi. Any other things you might have changed that could fix it for me? Cheers!

thanks. is there a guide on how to edit the .cfg file ?

@applePie unlikely as it would mean having to build things to use pulseaudio, which is not desirable for most users.

Perhaps it could be optional for retroarch, although I have not tried pulseaudio with bluetooth - if you are having trouble on the desktop, it's likely something we can't fix (related to bluetooth stack etc). RetroPie is just a system to install/configure emulators, we don't interfere much with the basic OS.

PS3 controller- I can't notice any lag- but that may be my speed of perception!!!

Yes, give it a go from a version with the standard build and add AM from experimental. I'm sure Buzz integrated it better than I would have done, plus I could do the same to help debug if it still doesnt work.

@chubsta get the SNES30 and you'll get what you want. ;)

@Jeck11 I haven't messed with Bluetooth controllers yet, but when I do a Playstation controller will be one that I pick up. Apparently they're a lot more reliable than they used to be, thanks to software improvements.
