PS3 BlueThoot Problem

[Gigi20]

I have installed the last release Version 7.1.1 of recalbox

I didn't find a way to make the bluetooth work

with my compatible PS3 Controller

I tryied official bluez and shanwan without success!

Any idea?

-------------- D - Controllers -----------------
Enable support for standard bluetooth controllers
controllers.bluetooth.enabled=1

Enable ERTM
controllers.bluetooth.ertm=0

Please enable only one of these
-------------- D1 - PS3 Controllers ------------
##Enable PS3 controllers support
controllers.ps3.enabled=1

Choose a driver between bluez, official and shanwan
bluez -> bluez 5 + kernel drivers, support official and shanwan sisaxis
official -> sixad drivers, support official and gasia sisaxis
shanwan -> shanwan drivers, support official and shanwan sisaxis
controllers.ps3.driver=official

Thanks.

Did you test with the system completely clean, before you modified it? If you copied the configuration files from an earlier version, it is normal to have problems (especially ready-made images downloaded from the internet as you had).

@Zing The system was completely clean !!!!

I'm using this controller
https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B07MCGVKHD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I made all the test on the original image

The system was completely clean !!!!

controllers.bluetooth.ertm=0

This parameter comes with 1 by default, so you are not telling the truth.

In addition, developers do not have all the joysticks that exist, so obviously not all joysticks are compatible (although most joysticks are). I don't have that joystick, and I can't test it, the only thing I can recommend is:

"so you are not telling the truth".
Hey Man!!!!!!!
Have you think that due that it didn't work i made some test????
And i have tried to change some parametres from default???
have you thought that???
You are a little ACID in every answer you gave to me without any reason!
So please "are not telling the truth" next time think before write!!!!! OK ZING MY FRIENDS????

I don't speack french sorry!!! There is an Italian or English versione of that page!!
or
Could someone suggest to me what are the best bluetooth controller to use with Recalbox!
Thank You!!!!!

[Gigi20]

I tried the ssh command shown in the page without success with bluez official and shanwan
the result is always :
[bluetooth]# Failed to pair: org.bluez.Error.ConnectionAttemptFailed
Thanks.

@Gigi20

next time think before write

Calm down, I didn't mean to offend you, sorry for being so objective.

Have you think that due that it didn't work i made some test????

Did you test with the system completely clean, before you modified it?

I'm sure I was clear enough, and I can't understand your revolt.

Sorry, I don't want to look offensive, but you need to understand that I don't know what you are doing, what you did, what you tried to do... You need to be more specific, you need to be more clear and detail exactly what is happening, otherwise it is impossible to help.

You said "The system was completely clean", but you want me to understand that you "did some tests"... it is at least inconsistent for you to say "next time think before write"...

Please, we will not argue unnecessarily, you thought that I was originally offensive, but you try to attack me is not the right way, I am trying to help you, and I just wanted to make it clear that your information was inconsistent: "totally clean" + "changed parameter".

There is an Italian or English versione of that page!!

Unfortunately there are still no tutorials in Italian, the tutorial section is undergoing an update, and as the team is French, it will always be the French language that will have information first, and only later, depending on the availability of a translator, will it be translated.

This page may be out of date, but it is in English:
https://recalbox.gitbook.io/tutorials/configuration-test/manually-connect-a-bluetooth-control

Or if you prefer, you can use an online translator like the google translator (not so accurate, but if you compare it with the original version, you can understand):
https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fr&tl=it&u=https://recalbox.gitbook.io/documentation/v/francais/tutoriels/controleurs/configuration-test/connecter-manuellement-le-controleur-bluetooth

Could someone suggest to me what are the best bluetooth controller to use with Recalbox!

You can check on this page the ones that are officially recognized by Recalbox:
https://recalbox.gitbook.io/documentation/hardware-compatibility/compatible-devices/controller

I can say that 8Bitdo joysticks are the most used, and the original PS3 and Ps4 controls too (but, I have a cheap PS3 clone and a USB SNES clone that work very well, it just doesn't have official support, it's a matter of "bad luck" buy joysticks that are not recognized by Recalbox).

[Gigi20]

In a previous post you wrote to me that there is no support
for old version and suggest to me to download the last version and
this is what I did... and has been a good suggestion and I very
happy to have the last version that is wonderful!

Very Thanks!!!

Now the last clean version must work for me and If it doesn't
is normal that i made some test to try to solve the problems before
write to a forum! Thats All... I think is clear enought.

Now seems that all work except the bluetooth...
The French is not so far from Italian... i can speak and
understand my French friends easily...

so I tried the manual setup connection you suggested but without success!

Now if there is not a software bug... I'll buy a new controller

Thanks for All!

OK Bye Zing

is normal that i made some test to try to solve the problems before

I understand that it’s normal to test when it didn’t work, but you need to understand that neither I nor anyone else on the forum is seeing what you’re doing, it’s not obvious that you modified it, because I don’t know what your level of knowledge is, because I don’t I know you and you didn't make that clear.
Please understand that you need to make everything you did completely clear, when you say that you have not modified anything (totally clean), and in fact you have modified something (either for testing or whatever), you are interfering with the result , and who loses is you!

so I tried the manual setup connection you suggested but without success!

You once again did not make it clear:
What exactly did you try?
What commands did you use?
What are the results of the commands?
What errors were returned?

I repeat: what seems obvious to you, is not obvious to anyone who is trying to help you on the forum. I can cite as an example a user who (with knowledge) was facing difficulties in an advanced configuration, which, it was OBVIOUS that he knew how to do, but, he missed a character in a command, and the error was so simple and so OBVIOUS , but he didn't see it. That's why for you to get help, you need to describe every detail, even if it seems obvious: it is often insignificant details that affect the result drastically.

Now if there is not a software bug... I'll buy a new controller

Without the information above, I cannot say whether you did the procedure correctly or if there is still something you can do, so I am not sure it is a driver incompatibility.
I would not classify it as a bug, but "incompatibility", in case it doesn't really work.
