"PAIR A BLUETOOTH COTROLLER" - No list of discovered devices.

merdzd

Just got my first try on batocera and linux. USB dongle Bluetooth working on windows - retroarch_x64.
controller "MERKURY VGP02" EVO VR
Also connected on Ubuntu.
When i boot to batocera and select "PAIR A BLUETOOTH COTROLLER" on right top corner says
"Scanning BLUETOOTH searching controllers" then noting happens.

If i open terminal and type #bluetoothctl i have my dongle active #scan on - i can list devices and pair\connect <mac> my controller, but controller not mapping any button and menu not response to controller - led on controller set like its connected.
if i again select from menu "PAIR A BLUETOOTH COTROLLER" on right top corner says
"Scanning BLUETOOTH searching controllers" then noting happens. led on controller set like its connected.
If i go to "FORGET BLUETOOTH COTROLLERs " it says "(I) COTROLLERS LINK HAVE BEEN DELETED" the controller and led on set like its in pair mode\disconnected.
Tried other USB Bluetooth same result except they 2.0 version and not see my controller.
But must be the list of scanned devices?

With "PAIR A BLUETOOTH COTROLLER" you won't get any list.
Just put your bluetooth controller in pairing mode and it should pair.
After that, navigate with keyboard to "CONFIGURE A CONTROLLER" and configure the button mapping for your controller.

joinski After that, navigate with keyboard to "CONFIGURE A CONTROLLER" and configure the button mapping for your controller.

I did that and:
CONFIGURE INPUT
NO GAMEPAD DETECTED
HOLD A button ...

I do hold button fore long time nothing happening. Led on gamepad in pair mode
In terminal - bluetoothctl

try manual bluetooth pairing:
https://wiki.batocera.org/doku.php?id=bluetooth_controllers_-_manual_setup

otherwise, if it still does not work, you could ask lala or susan34 on our discord-channel. they know best, how to investigate bluetooth controller pairing issues.
