@mpp Same problem for me with EVERY controller and recalbox 8: no answer. Once disconnected, need to reload rpi4

@itiki I'm sorry to heat that no one, in more than one week, has reply about that problem. I've post even debug logs, but nothing...silence.

The only thing I got is being scolded because I wouldn't be cooperative....

here debug file

@matso Here doesn't works, even only with virtual gamepad...I don't understand.

Just unplug usb cable AFTER exiting game cause crash, and there is no way no use again any type of controller, even virtual gamepas, so it's a software bug for sure. I can't believe it happens only to me.

@matso could you please tell me exact model of your gamepad?

@matso yours controller is wireless? Can you try to disconnect and reconnect after exiting game? Does it works again?

@zing If that logic is good for you, so is good for me.

Recalbox is bugged, cause here doesn't works: so I discourage use it, cause official community doesn't help, but simply say "in my house, it works, so no problem".

@davidb2111 Everything works well with batocera, everything doesn't works (but the first load) on recalbox.

So the problem IS recalbox.

Again: when gamepad is disconnect, every next controller with every connection doesn't works: bt, usb, virtual gamepad, everything doesn't works anymore.

Just formatted and reinstaller from scratch three times...no solutions, but is here to see, I cannot understand how you don't be able to reproduce this issue.

• play one game
• exit with start+select
• turn off BT gamepad
• turn on BT again
• CRASH -> every controller doesn't works anymore, doesn't matter connection type: usb, bt, virtual

@zing Sure!

This is very strange (maybe due to dongle): I've even try with batocera and I haven't any problem at all, only with recalbox8.

So I think to move to batocera until this issue is fixed.

@duard

Try this:

• load recalbox
• connect gamepad via bt (ok, works)
• play some games (neogeo) --> VERY IMPORTANT
• back to ES
• turn off gamepad
• turn on again: does it reconnect? In my case, NO, NEVER
• try to connect via usb cable: does it works? NO
• try to use virtual gamepad: does it works? NO

Try that and let me know.

If I didn't play any games, gamepad reconnection works well even after turn off, virtual gamepad works, and even via usb cable... so the problem is recalbox, that after game quit, mess up something.

This issue happen with virtual gamepad, wired gamepad and bt gamepad...

With 7.2 at least virtual gamepad works again, so I was able to pair again controller without turn RPI4 off/on.

@zing said in Bluetooth disable ertm not working:

@charger Please make sure it is not firmware related as described here:
https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/25352/recalbox-8-0-beta/41

For sure is not, cause it affect even virtual controller and wired controller. Even virtual gamepad doesn't works after first controller was turned off.

I have had the same problem for weeks, but it doesn't seem to affect its resolution: the problem is not linked to Bluetooth, it is related to recalbox which no longer allows any type of controller after something has been played and the controller has entered powersaving or is turn off. It doesn't matter what kind of controller you want to use next, virtual, bluetooth or wired. If you try, you will realize that even if you connect the gamepad via cable, the recalbox will still not be controllable.
I do not understand how we can not notice a bug of this type, which I have been reporting for a long time.

@davidb2111 just bought sn30, but on rpi4 and recalbox 8, situation doesn’t changed. Randomly, after some games, is impossibile to reconnect ANY controller (virtual, bt, cabled) if primary is turned off or is in power saving mode.

@mbenjoy Buona fortuna...qui dentro non ho mai trovato nessun tipo di aiuto che mi risolvesse qualcosa...solo richiami a non postare lo stesso "concetto" su discussioni diverse.

@pitch64

Just to ask, but is there a bluetooth gamepad on the face of the earth that always reconnects if it comes out of the power saving state? Because apparently you always have to physically turn the RPI4 back on otherwise it won't reconnect anymore ...

I've got an 8bitdo SN30, PS3 and PS4 that work flawlessly. Microsoft gamepad support is more or less stable...
Even Nintendo Switch joycons connect back without issue.

I have sf30pro + (fw updated), rpi4 and recalbox 8 stable.
Everytime sf30 goes into power saving, is impossibile to reconnect again without restart rpi4.

I don’t understand how is it possibile that you haven’t any issue…is sf30pro different from sn30?
