@mitu said in 8bitdo dosent work in bluetooth mode:

@lesk You would pair it just like for a PC (Windows). Normally just press Start for 3 seconds and it will start to blink blue with one pulse. I'd suggest you reset the controller to the defaults, remove the BT pairing from RetroPie and start again using the PC mode and do the pairing and then reconfiguring in ES.

I did this. But still it does not work in any game. Only in Emulationstation as I stated before.

I tried one thing last night. While connected via bluetooth I went into config and then retroarch.
There I found user binding(or something like that under inputs) and I used my controller and rebind all the keys there, and pressed auto save config.
Aaaaaand I could use it in game! But the hotkeys dont work. I cant quit games, cant load save slots or change save slots. So im still puzzled.

Hey I am having the EXACT same issue. So did you Filezilla in and remove the extra "input_player_1" entries? Ive been messing with this since Saturday. I also had this issue with an afterglow xbox 360 controller.

Pi: 3 B
RetroPi: Latest 4.0 build
Controller: NES30 Pro
Firmware: 4.0

so same specs as yourself.

does noone know the answer to this question please?

@Phiro13 Are you using Splitwolf with the instructions above? If so, you can remap your game controller using SDL2's controllermap utility.

Follow these instructions to generate a remap string for your controller: https://www.gabriel.urdhr.fr/2014/06/11/sdl2-gamepad-calibration/

Add the string to /opt/retropie/ports/splitwolf/gamecontrollerdb.txt

I removed the whole opt/ folder from root and replaced it with one from a fresh install and changed the permissions. Then removed the gamecon USB driver for the 2 SNESpads and removed SFC30 from bluetooth. Paired it and set it up in Emulation Station.

Now the SFC30 is working like it should again, I'm pretty sure as soon as I'm going to install the gamecon USB driver again the SFC30 is going to stop working. Any Idea on how to prevent this?

3. Search this forum to see if your question has already been answered.

I am not aware of crashes because of CEC, but I know that some joysticks, in rare cases can make Kodi crash. Try running Kodi without any controllers attached and if the problem remains, post you Kodi log.

Just checked, yes it works through the RGUI menu.

Update 1: very odd, the hot key works for the load state (SELECT + L) so it appears its only the save state hotkey not working.

Update 2: Ok so it appears I can save state but without any consistancy I have to spam it and if I spam (SELECT + R) too much it complete unpairs the controller and I have to re-pair it to get it working again. So perhaps its something just with the build quality of the SFC30?

Its not the worst thing I can always going in the RGUI and save/load.
