Reply To: Retropie 3.4 and 8bitDo bluetooth Pad

My frustration is really starting to mount now.

I realize it might be in part due to my ignorance but I’m pretty sure I’m covering all bases here.

I just reinstalled 3.3 wheezy and installed the bluez package

sudo apt-get install bluetooth bluez-utils blueman

It ran and installed.

When I went to register the bt device in the retropie setup menu…it did something I never saw. It said I did not have the necessary dependencies installed. So it uninstalled my bluez package and installed Bluez 4.99

Then I registered and paired the device. Retropie recognized it as a joystick. ES still would still not detect.

So I unregistered and re-registered with just START mode. ES will still not recognize it.

I was able to do this painlessly on 3.3.
