Dualshock 4 or 3 Wirelles issues

mrogeriodf

Hello guys.

Is there any way to use Dualshock 4 or 3 Wirelles in Batocera?

I've bought a bluetooth dongle CSR 4.0 and had success installing the Dualshock 4 on Windows. The joypad works perfectly.

But when I boot my PC to use Batocera the dongle stops blinking and I can't pair the controller.

Does anyone could me help with this?

Thanks

it is supposed to work.
do you plug it 10 sec ?

mrogeriodf

Wired works fine.

I wanna to play Wirelles. The bluetooth dongle turns off when Batocera starts. I think this is the reason.

Works fine with ps4 dongle that sony manufactures

@mrogeriodf possible that the dongle is not supported. Can you run /recalbox/scripts/recalbox-support.sh and send me the zip file please ?

nadenislamarre I'm really new here. Could tell me how to do that? Where do I have to go to do that? Sorry....

nadenislamarre

connect via ssh if you know how it works, or just wait the next release which make it possible from the menus.

@nadenislamarre I'am beggining to think that my notebook's bluetooth is not compatible with Batocera. Every time I try to search for a Wirelles controller, it is so fast to say that there is not bluetooth controller available. Really, he doesn't search neither for a few seconds.
I've checked recalbox config and it's ok.
Is it possible I will never be able to play with my PS4 Wirelles controller because my notebook's configuration or this is unlike?

Ps.: All the examples I saw on Youtuber was using Raspberry Pi, but none with PC.

Cheers

personnally, i've bought usb bluetooth controller to 1€ on lbc and it works for 3/4 of them.

1) What system are you using? Raspberry or Computer?
2) Are you using a dongle? I've bought that bellow and it's light stops blinking when Batocera starts. When I change to Windows the light always blink.

mrogeriodf Is the dongle running in HCI mode? I have this dongle and I fixed it by changing the USB to HCI mode. I know you have a Windows machine but this will make the dongle work for you in Batocera.

See below (USB dongle info under "Working Bluetooth adapters" at this link: http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Bluetooth_adapters

Odroid Bluetooth 2: CSR8510 A10 Chipset (ID: 0A12:0001) inside

Sitecom CN-524. CSR 8510 a10, USB ID 0a12:0001. Not out of the box on Raspbian or Ubuntu, only after changing the initial bootmode to HCI using Bluesuite on a Windows machine.

Tutorial from this link, see below for steps:

(http://blog.ruecker.fi/2013/10/06/adventures-in-bluetooth-4-0-part-i/)

For the story, CSR8510 A10 chip is a dual-mode chip. On your dongle, and mine (“It Works” – Micro Bluetooth 4.0 USB Adapter from Darty in France), the dongle boot in HID mode by default (VID 0A12 PID 100😎. Even with a Linux computer, i could’nt get the dongle to work in HCI mode (Bluetooth mode so – VID 0A12 PID 0001).

If you have a computer that is running Windows (7 – 64bits for me) you can modify the “initial device bootmode”.

To change the device bootmode :

Download the BlueSuite to modifiy “BlueCore Persistent Store” : http://www.kcwirefree.com/docs/BlueSuite_2_5.zip
Unplug your Bluetooth dongle
Install the BlueSuite Software (default options)
Plug your Bluetooth dongle in another port than previously
Run CSR BlueSuite 2.5.0 / PSTool as Administrator
With the first window : Choose Transport = USB then Port = \.\csr0 and click OK
In the Filter box, type bootmode then click on the item “Initial device bootmode”
Note the hex number in case something goes wrong (mine was 0002), then change to 0000
Click on the Set button then click on the Close button
Wait some seconds then unplug your Bluetooth dongle.

Finally, run your OS X or Linux host with the dongle plugged-in and your Bluetooth dongle will now work out of the box 🙂

With this modification, your Bluetooth dongle, will always start in HCI mode.

Sashbi, for some reason the USB device wasn't recognised by the software. No ports were found. Could you give me some clue?

Sashbi

mrogeriodf Could be an issue with your computer, in terms of drivers you have installed. Uninstall any drivers associated with that USB device or try booting into safe mode on your PC or use a secondary PC instead. You have the exact same Bluetooth dongle I have.

Wait, the USB device isn't recognised or you can't assign a port to the USB? What step in that guide are you having problems with? More detail you can provide, more of a chance I can help.
