i haven’t tried that yet, but you could try to install python-cwiid and the other config steps following this tutorial:

Tutorial to get wiimotes with classic controllers to work with RetroPie

and try to connect the nes30 controllers via wiimote mode. START+Y

Nice tutorial.
Is cwiid a daemon? That would be awesome.
I would try to connecy my 8-bitdo FC30 Blueetooth controllers with this in wiimote mode. Seems to be the missing piece of my portable retro console.
I’ll report if it is working with FC30 in wiimote mode.

FC30 GamePad Firmware v2.4
1.Fixed the bug which wake up from sleep mode can not auto reconnect.

Hi,

my FC30 is working with the emulators. I am using ES2.3.
I configured it via the retropie_setup.sh script (Setup/Register RetroArch controller).
Here is the code that for es_input.cfg that states that it is a “joystick”:

`<inputConfig type=”joystick” deviceName=”Bluetooth Wireless Controller ” deviceGUID=”05000000426c7565746f6f7468205700″>
<input name=”a” type=”button” id=”0″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”b” type=”button” id=”1″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”pagedown” type=”button” id=”7″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”pageup” type=”button” id=”6″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”select” type=”button” id=”10″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”start” type=”button” id=”11″ value=”1″ />
</inputConfig>`

It was a real hassle to get it via Bluetooth working.
But i can’t figure out how to auto pair the controller when ES starts up.

Regards
Jay
