      8bitdo SN30 Pro controllers will pair, and work fine (even in-game), but once I restart the Raspberry Pi using the NESPi case's Reset button (using shutdown script, not sure if this matters, since it's just running a normal restart command) the controllers will no longer connect.

      I have to remove the controllers from the recalbox.conf file and then re-pair them. Even then, sometimes that doesn't work.

      Pulsar 9.1
      Raspberry Pi 4
      NESPi case (with shutdown/restart script)
      8bitdo SN30 Pro controllers (latest firmware, just updated today to test if that was an issue, no change after update)

      These controllers worked perfectly well before v9.1

        Update: I upgraded to the v9.2 Patreon-3 release, and it still doesn't work. I tried with SN30 Pro and also the new 8bitdo Pro 2 controllers. I tried removing them from the recalbox.conf file, and pairing again.

        I'm going to try a brand new install on a different SSD to see if that, somehow, magically works.

            I reinstalled from scratch on the problem SSD, and it seems to be working now. I will monitor this and report back if it persists

              @LefternHempfield Did you have any luck with this?

              I've noticed that they work, but intermittently.. I have to restart the device, plug in and our consistently, and then sometimes and randomly, one or the other will connect. (I am using 2 controllers).
