My previous attempt at this, several days ago, one port I tried the dongle in made the controller vibrate endlessly after I'd installed the suggested things.

The Windows thing for detecting and calibrating controllers isn't seeing it either, with the controller itself also plugged into the computer or not. But when I run Better DS3 (which is the other place I guess I could turn to for support), it doesn't show any connected controllers. At this point, whether some of the things I've tried have stuck or not, I plug the dongle in, Windows (8.1) makes the appropriate noise, Device Manager refreshes and shows 'libusbK USB Devices' and under that 'Wireless Controller for PS3'.

I'm attempting to get this Afterglow wireless PS3 controller that I've never used but have had for a while now working, and I'm having a LOT of trouble.

If you have just one controller, you can put =map=1.įor more information, a good how-to for connecting a GPIO controller to a Raspberry Pi through GPIO is available on this page.If this is the incorrect section for this question, I apologize. In the previous example, we have two controllers enabled. # mk_gpio arguments, map=1 for one controller, map=1,2 for 2 (map=1,map=1,2) # enable controllers on GPIO with mk_arcarde_joystick_rpi (0,1) Then, to activate GPIO controllers, you need to enable them in nf with the following lines: Wiring for the controllers must be done following this diagram: GPIO controllers can only be used on Raspberry Pi 2, 3 and 4. Other controllers may not work with this. Connecting standard arcade buttons directly seems to also work. SNES and NES controllers are supported so far using this method. You can buy a breakout adapter for this purpose, or just destroy the original connector and strip the wires yourself (not recommended for beginners). You can also connect original controllers via GPIO by directly wiring them to the correct pins on the board.

If intending to use the Wiimote as an ordinary retro controller, the old gamepad behaviour can be restored by going to CONTROLLER & BLUETOOTH SETTINGS → WIIMOTE GUN SETTINGS → MODE and set it to “PAD”. This will render the button inputs on the Wiimote to not appear as a controller's inputs (so they can instead be used as a light gun), making them unmappable. ( confirmation needed)įrom Batocera v35 onwards, Wiimotes will automatically connect to ES as light guns. wireless adapter also supports connecting Classic/NES mini/SNES mini controllers and allowing them to function as though they were Bluetooth controllers. Those interested in using the Wiimote as a light gun controller should check out the dedicated light gun page. More info can be found on the Wii system page. To use the controller to play the Wii, first start a Wii game, then press the red button to put the controller in discovery mode. In case you want use the Wiimote as a standard controller to play any game, pair the controller by going in the menu to CONTROLLER & BLUETOOTH SETTINGS → PAIR A BLUETOOTH DEVICE, then put you controller in discovery mode by pressing the red button to put the controller in discovery mode (it may take Batocera multiple attempts until there is a successful pair). Wii controllers are supported in two delicious modes. Xbox controllers always work if connected via USB cable. It should then automatically be detected and paired. The only action to do, is to put your controller in discovery mode (after turning the controller on with the Xbox button in the middle of the controller, press and hold the small pairing button on the top of the controller until the Xbox logo starts rapidly blinking) and then pair the controller by going in the menu to CONTROLLER & BLUETOOTH SETTINGS → PAIR A BLUETOOTH DEVICE. In case of issues, it is often the dongle itself which is not supported by Linux. To pair it just press the sync button on your controller (this only works with the the original RF dongle). You can refer to this page to tell if your controller has Bluetooth or not.įor the original Xbox One controller, the original Microsoft Dongle has supported since Batocera 5.27. The newer model can be used like any other Bluetooth controller. Starting with Xbox One S, Microsoft launched a newer model (Model 1708) that is natively Bluetooth
