iPega 9087s Red Knight Controller pairs, but can't map it.

RpiDude

Pairs and is detected but no input reaction, any help is mighty appreciated!

joinski

does this iPega Controller have different controller modes? like d-input or x-input mode for example (see controller manual)? if yes, did you try them?

RpiDude

joinski Thank for your reply, there are 4 led connection modes, but only led #1 mode is able to pair.

RpiDude

the manual i found says, that there are 2 modes.

iOS Mode and Android Mode.

Try the Android Mode please:

Android devices: Press and hold “A+HOME” buttons

if it still does not work, then i guess this gamepad unfortunately is not compatible with linux

RpiDude

Ah dang that’s a shame, well thanks for the help.

Update: After failing to get the pad to work in Windows 10/Batocera I gave Linux Mint a try and managed to pair it (after installing Blueman) by holding Home+X and it actually works!

Now comes the question, how does one move this compatibility over from Linuxmint to Batocera, both are linux based so is any compiling needed or is it just a matter of moving over a .conf file?

best is to come to the discord and talk to one of the devs there

I found this recent entry here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gamepad#iPEGA-9017s_and_other_Bluetooth_gamepads

I guess it would apply to Batocera also, maybe some dev would be willing to merge it into the next update as I see some old entries here on the forum of other people with the same issue with ipega pads.
