      Hello,

      I'm on Pi4 with Retropie 4.8.8 and official Sony Dualshock 4.

      I want to auto-reconnect the gamepad after a Retropie reboot. I remember I have already do this with 8bitdo gamepads. Is there a way to do this with dualshock 4 ?

      My Dualshock is fully configured and works well.

      I'm trying Step 2.5, with my Dualshock MAC address :
      https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Bluetooth-Controller/

      Auto-reconnect not working.

      When :

      sudo systemctl status /etc/systemd/system/connect-bluetooth.service
      

      even after enabled it, there is this error :

      Unit etc-systemd-system-connect\x2dbluetooth.service.mount could not be found.

        Those instructions are for old versions of RetroPie. If you don't use any specific re-connection methods and leave the 'default' mode on, isn't the DS4 reconnecting automatically ?

          @mitu Like my 8bitdo gamepads (on pi3 or pi4), my DS4 never reconnect after a system reboot. They stay connected only on EmulationStation reboot.
