Cant Connect 8bitdo Controller via Bluetooth ( the list does not appear)

ofaustor

Hello, I hope you can help me. I have a rapsberry pi 3 with Batocera V5.25, I recently acquired an 8bitdo SN30 Pro remote control, and I can’t configure it via bluetooth (With cable it works correctly), when I press the pairing option in the batocera configuration menu, it comes out for a briefly the message “Searching for Controls” and instantly disappears and no list appears. I thought it would be a bluetooth error, that it could be turned off, enter the terminal via SSH and use the “Bluetoothctl” command and it stops waiting to connect to bluetoothd and I don’t get any response. I tried to start the device with the command “systemctl start bluetoothhd” and apparently I do not have Systemd installed and it gives me the error of “command not found”. From what little I could see, I have Linux 4.19, but I don’t have much knowledge of the subject. I will appreciate your help. Greetings

Did you follow all of the commands that are specified at https://wiki.batocera.org/bluetooth_controllers_-_manual_setup in order to use bluetoothctl correctly?
I’ve used a Pi 3 and the Bluetooth works perfect on it, with an 8bitdo SN30 Pro+.

Have you also made sure the controller itself is in pairing mode? There’s a little button on the top right next to the charging port. Hold that down until the LEDs start rapidly cycling.
