      Hi there

      I've never had issues connecting a ps4 controller to my Pi with bluetooth. They always seem to be the safe bet but when it gets to choosing your Security Mode it always says choose option 1. When I do this message pops up

      any idea what the issue is?

        Do you use an USB dongle instead of the on-board Bluetooth ? Please add some info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

            Pi Model or other hardware: RPi 4 B+
            Power Supply used: (If using a Pi)
            RetroPie Version Used 4.6.6 version
            USB Devices connected: none
            Controller used: ps4 replica

            sorry I'm late with this. Could this bluetooth connection problem be connected to the recent hack?
