Hey thanks, I was 100% of the way there in fact, I guess I couldn’t believe finally they were working. Both are connected successfully.

I will leave a bit of info here for others that might be useful about 8bitdo SFC30:

When I was using hcitool scan to look for the controllers, I scanned for the controller numerous times pressing Start with a different key each time to see what the differences were between the MAC addresses in each mode.

THERE IS A MODE THAT IS NOT IN THE INSTRUCTIONS – START + RIGHT SHOULDER

This was the only mode that hcitool returned that it had found a “Joystick” type device. When I connected this way, I didn’t have to do any crazy half keyboard half controller business, it just worked instantly. Starting the Player2 controller in the exact same way (START + RIGHT SHOULDER) when you pair it, gives you 2 Player RetroPie Bluetooth Happiness.

Hi All!

I’m 99% there, I hope somebody can help me get over the line….

2 X 8bitdo SFC30 Bluetooth Controllers

They are both trusted bluetooth devices, auto connect works, both MAC addresses registered to pi for reconnect etc… thats all great!

I registered 1 initially, got it working in joystick mode with retropie, when I had paired the second, (also in Joystick Mode) i started emulationstation – Input Configurator says – 2 Gamepads Detected – awesome.

However when I pick up what i thought was Gamepad2 to register the inputs, RetroPie told me I was configuring Gamepad1 – I stopped @ this point because I didnt want to overwrite the config for, the perfectly working, Gamepad1.

How can I get RetroPie to recognise the 2nd Gamepad regstered to the system as GamePad2?

Will the configurator ask me to configure Gamepad2 after I re-configure Gamepad1?

I’m so close to everything working, I dont want to take a bad step now, does anybody have anything close to a solution?

Thanks.
