Hi guys,
As I've tried everything I found at the forum and also Google, I have to ask for your help and experiences:
My 8Bitdo SF30 PRO works like a charm after pairing, but when I reboot Recalbox, it will not connect with my Pi anymore. Sometimes already after first reboot, sometimes after 10 reboots.
I have to delete all bluetooth configuration and pair it again when this happens. I use "forget all bluetooth controllers" in EmulationStation and also delete the tar-file where paired bluetooth devices are stored, that's the only way that allows me pairing this controller again.
I'm using latest stable version of Recalbox.
I've tried almost everything:
- Tried internal bluetooth (instead of dongle with CSR bluetooth chipset)
- Paired controller both in Switch- and Android-Mode, where controller seem to work fine (Windows and Mac modes seem to have issues, in Windows-mode L2-R2 buttons won't work, in Mac-mode no button, stick and d-pad will work at all).
- Paired using shell (bluetoothctl) - Pairing worked, but same issue afterwards
- Switch controller on only when EmulationStation is loaded already
- Did a complete fresh install of latest Recalbox stable
I can exclude any hardware issue on Pi-side, because I have paired many bluetooth devices and none of them has this problem (8Bitdo N30 PRO controller, Playstation 4 controller, Logitech keyboard, Microsoft mouse)
Because of 8Bitdo SF30 PRO is the best controller I've ever tried for retro gaming, I would appreciate if you have a hint or solution for me!
Thanks to all in advance!
