      Pi Model: 3
      RetroPie Version Used: (3.6.0)
      USB Devices connected: Xbox One Controller & USB Logitech Mouse and Keyboard combo
      Issue: 8bitdo NES30 Pro connection issue

      I followed Floobs video to the T except I am using the NES30 Pro the device is showing up registered in the Bluetooth configure menu but won't connect after the initial connection was made the first time I tried. Even after the first connection I still could not get it to show in ES but now it will not connect. I tried to reboot and restart and also reset the controller once ES is fully loaded but still cannot fix the issue. I also have two of these I need to set up would I need to repeat everything in Floobs tutorial or just the files that specify the MAC address?

      https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/setting-up-a-bluetooth-controller

      When I try to manually connect I get this error message.ErrorMSG
      An error occured connecting to the bluetoth device (Creating device failed:
      org.bluez.Error.AlreadyExists: Already Exists)

      I went through everthing again but dont see a issue with the files.

            Would it be beneficial to remove my device and rediscover it?

                I am able to get it working now on Emulation Station but on reboot it needs to be manually discovered again, I wrote the script that finds the MAC address and make sure it found but it does not seem to be working.

                #!/bin/bash
                sudo bluetoothctl << EOF
                power on
                connect [MAC Address]
                exit
                EOF

                I made the correction and was given a prompt for a pin I set it to 0000
                It seems to be working fine now

                #!/bin/bash
                sudo bluetoothctl << EOF
                power on
                connect [MAC Address]
                connect [MAC Address]
                exit
                EOF

                Would that be the only change to make two of the same controllers be found on boot?
