      you have two options... either update to 4.1 unstable and it will work out of the box or use the search function of the forum to find thd thread related to that controller containing the instructions to make it work.

        @paradadf I already searched on the forum and that didn't helped me, then i opened the topic.
        And now i already flashed recalbox 4.1, and when i enter to search a bluetooth controller it keeps saying "No controllers found" With, and without the bluetooth adapter usb.

            have you change recalbox.conf accordingly?

            global.inputdriver=sdl2

                please, pair the controller and unplug/unpair any other device if possible and follow the instructions given here:
                https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Recalbox-support-(EN)
                Share your support files here.
                Pair it in the controller mode and don't bother with any other one.
                Use 4.1 for this.

                      I mencioned up there that i was using the last stable, then i flashed the 4.1 version because paradadf said it was going to work right out the box. The exactly version is the Build 11603325

                        somehow everytime a user says he/she has an ipega 9025, the internal controller name is different... Try this:

                        Execute the following three commands (one after another):

                        mount -o remount, rw /
                        echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{name}=="ipega media gamepad controller", MODE="0666", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1"' >> /etc/udev/rules.d/99-joysticks-exotics.rules
                        reboot && logout
                        

                        Just for the record, it is needed to edit recalbox.conf so it reads (change auto for sdl2😞

                        ## Set retroarch input driver (auto, udev, sdl2)
                        ## If you don't have issues with your controllers, let auto
                        global.inputdriver=sdl2
                        

                        reboot and try again.

                        If this rule works, comment it here so we can add it by default. Again... this only works on 4.1 upwards.

                        Don't do this part yet: I'm not sure anymore, but if your controller (assuming you really paired it in the right "controller" mode) is detected as a keyboard, you might need to add the following rule to the usbhid.conf:

                        # IPEGA
                        options usbhid quirks=0x1949:0x402:0x040

                          the pad doesn't even get listed in /dev/input ... so there is sthg wrong on the OS side. BT or kernel

                            @paradadf D**n, that made it work!!!!! just followed these commands straight on recalbox F4 console and then the magic happened, after pairing it started recognize as a gamepad controller! hope this topic help someone else too!

                            And a simple question, you guys call 4.1 as "Instable", whats the problem with it? tried with a few games and its looks normald and fluid to me.
                            And thanks again!
                            Regards from Brazil!

                                you see what is working, i see that there are many bugs left 😉 It will be marked stable when it does run as expected AND the upgrading process from 4.0.x to 4.1 is safe, we can't miss that.
