Pair bluetooth xbox one controllers

kosak

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with pairing two controllers at once.

For this I used putty, bluetoothctl / pair etc etc.
but when one pad is on, the other cannot connect.

I tested on both options, both work normally, but the latter will not connect.
I noticed in the options that it is shown as # 0, maybe somewhere in the files I can edit this and allow both to merge at once?

thank you in advance for your help, best regards.

I had similar issue with 3 Wii U Pad Pro controller. I wasn’t able to pair them simultaneously.

Forget all your bluetooth controllers in Batocera’s controllers settings menu.
Then take a look here to know how I solved this issue : https://forum.batocera.org/d/2718-wii-u-pad-pro-issues-bluetoothctl-is-your-friend

I had to did it yesterday again, after upgrading my Batocera 5.26 to 5.27. And it always works.
To resume in order : Pair your controllers one by one. Use “bluetoothctl devices” command. Trust your controllers properly then reboot your Batocera.

Andearoid I’m disappointed this old thread is deleted from the forum :(

thank you very much for your answer, that’s what i did from the beginning, i used bluetoothctl and unfortunately the effect is the same One controller is connected, the second one blinks, if I turn off the first one, the second connects without problems. As if they work on one link (what to call it). I tried to rummage in the batocer’s files and found something. Catalogs with MAC address is raining, but what next?

Bluetoothctl is a Linux software part to pair most common bluetooth devices. It should works properly with your controllers too. The first time I tried to pair my Wii U Pro controllers, it gived me a headache. Nothing wanted to work and I had to reproduce different technics to get them paired simultaneously.

I’m not Batocera and/or Linux expert, I will not be able to give you an all-in-one fix. Here is my bluetooth info files content for my 3 controllers :

Hope it will help you to compare with your controllers info files and find a clue to solve your issue.

Unfortunately, despite the mass of combinations, still two pads do not work at the same moment,
as if only one channel was possible,
they work separately,
they work on the cable

can usb bluetooth 4.0 be the problem?
I read that it doesn’t support multiple connection

Andearoid

I don’t think Bluetooth 4.0 is your issue. I use a Qumox BlueTooth 4.0 dongle. It’s one of the most cheapest noname BlueTooth dongle model I was able to buy. And it works properly with 3 Wii U Pad Pro paired simultaneously.

You should try your XBox One controllers with any other BlueTooth adapter. Then with any other operating system as possible. Most Linux based operating system use bluetoothctl : Ubuntu, Recalbox, Retropie, etc. Sometime it can help to debug. Otherwise, hope someone using more than one XBox One controllers with its Batocera will be able to make you more lucky.

thank you very much for reply
Has anyone tested the controller. who has his usb dongle?
Do you think it will work without any problems?
Then I would use 1x xboxone and 1x separate for other usb

Andearoid Not sure what you are talking about, it’s still there. It starts with the following:

"I have 3 Wii U Pad Pro for multiplayers gaming. And I wasn’t able to pair a third paddle on my new X64 laptop. I fixed this issue with the bluetoothctl command tool.

Before starting, pair sep…"

It was in the categorie “archive” and this category was not visible for everyone (only for mods and admins). I changed the permission for this category and now it should be visible for everyone.

Andearoid

joinski Thank you very much for the permission update. I had issue again to pairing my Wii U Pro controllers last days. I had some tests through Windows and Batocera bluetooths and 3 different computers and dongles. It seems the problem is from the Internet box/modem of my new neighbours. Sometimes Wii U controllers pair immediately, sometimes it absolutely won’t. It makes me crazy, so I finally bought a new USB gamepad ^^
