Enable Rumble wirelessly for 8bitdo controllers

VaFank

Hello everybody, I am on RPI3B+, roms via usb, batocera 5.25 (best OS !!!)
I only play with 8bitdo BT controllers (very good products). Is it possible to enable the rumble option when I play via BT. I know how to activate it in the retroarch options, but rumble only seems to work with PS3 controllers when it is connected by wire.

Is there a way to enjoy rumble wirelessly well wedged in my sofa ? :)

Thanks for your answers !!!!

Rumble/Vibration also works wirelessly over bluetooth with PS3 controllers.
But with 8bitdo controllers i also did not manage to get rumble/vibration working.

niki19780 Might be RPI particular problem. I am on x64 5.25 legacy and it pairs fine. If the system runs for a long time it and I stop playing the controller will stop. It will let me pair by pressing B and Start about 3 times before I have to forget controller and pair manually again. That said if I reboot it will pair as soon as I press B+Start.

doesn’t go with this procedure

niki19780 Did you try to do the first pair with the small button at the front between L1 and R1 ? Again - might be RPI particular problem.

Hello everyone, I have the same problem with my 8bitdo SN30 Pro running on linux pc.

Is there a possible solution to activate the rumble on wireless BT Mode for the SN30 Pro ?

.The vibration of the 8bitdo control, sn30pro or sf30pro, if it works in batocera, tested in dolphin, cemu, etc … what you have to do is synchronize the controller in XINPUT mode, to do this you have to press the X + Start button at the same time and pair your bluetooth controller, once done this with F1, you enter the dolphin configuration for example and there you have to go to control settings gamepad and configure and activate the rumble engine. Best regards.
