      Bluetooth is started after ES, so if it's your only pad, and it's not paired, you'll get the message from ES. And it's totally normal

        @substring Yeah I know, but before updating to 4.1, I could start ES without a gamepad connected and after that, connect a usb gamepad, pair a bluetooth one....now, If I don´t have a paired bluetooth device, it doesn´t start. Is there anyway to avoid this screen appearing?
        Thank you

          @pmroyo have you ever removed some files that are not roms ? I think you're missing the inouts config file

            @substring I don´t think so, but maybe i did it accidentally. How can I check this file?
            Just a clarification, when I get the above screen, I connect the bluetooth device and get paired automatically, but of course I have to remap again all the buttons.

              @pmroyo I have had the same problem with the XBOX 360 Pads. This is not related to bluetooth only. And yes, I had to reconfigure the controller again everytime I started recalbox.

                @marcdk I'm using x360 wireless controllers, I'm flashing about 10x by week recalbox on each board, and I never had this kind of problem.
                I can't reproduce it 😕

                  @rockaddicted have you tried switching on your raspberry PI without switching on your gamepad? or do you switch on the gamepad before starting emulation station?

                    @pmroyo can you SSH ls -l ~/.emulationstation/es_input.cfg and tell me if there is an output and eventually give it ?

                      @substring Please find the attached screenshot, I executed the command you told me in winscp:
                      0_1513021434629_d420bdea-1c3b-461a-bbac-86aa3b4eb823-image.png

                      And I have also checked the file and is full of controls, including the one that I have:

                      0_1513022196292_101c578b-01fd-4b2f-80d6-1e61d150034c-image.png

                      But if I connect the gamepad after ES has started, I have to map it again

                                      @poulain26100 i had that problem once and resolved it just by doing a new clean installation.

                                        @poulain26100 It was solved automatically in one of the last updates. Now I can switch on recalbox and then connect the bluetooth gamepad without any problem
