I am running Lakka from a usb in live mode on a pc. So the only way I have been able to get my 8bitdo snes30 controller to connect via bluetooth is through command line, no biggie there. My problem is that when I reboot Lakka it doesn’t automatically connect again. I have to reconnect it through command line. Is there a reason why it is not saving the controller? I know that Lakka is persistent so that shouldn’t be the issue. Anyone else run into this problem or know of a fix? Thanks in advance.
Hello Kamileon
you can have a look at the very end of this page, maybe this can help you “survive a reboot”

Cool, thanks for the link. I totally missed that section.
I have two of this exact controller. Also, wait a litte bit after you’ve connected through the command line it should prompt for a code. I believe it’s just 0000. I missed this when I was setting mine up and they would not consistently connect after a reboot.
I think if you use the command, trust <xx:xx:xx:xx>, it’s the same as using the 0000 code. Either way after sitting there for about 10 min after connecting it I never got a prompt for a code.

Then on about the 4th reboot I needed the command line, so I added the lines to those two files. Rebooted a few times and it’s working. I blame it on the gremlins in the code. Seems like a weird bug or glitch on my end. But it’s working so far.
I’m having similar problems on the 08/11 RPi2/3 build. I have 3 8bitdo controllers (2x SFC30 1x NES30) which all work pairing manually and will occasionally reconnect automatically but I can’t achieve repeatable stable reconnection. They seemed to reconnect fine under retropie so maybe it’s an OpenElec thing.
Another issue I haven’t been able to resolve is once the controller is connected I often need to restart the retroarch service by hitting escape or using “systemctl restart retroarch” before I can use the controller to navigate the lakka frontend.
Also just an FYI the latest firmware (2.68) changed the button assignments star, star+r, and usb are all the same now, so you need to modify the autoconfigs.
input_b_btn = "1"input_y_btn = “4” input_select_btn = “10” input_start_btn = “11” input_a_btn = “0” input_x_btn = “3” input_l_btn = “6” input_r_btn = “7”
input_up_axis = “-1” input_down_axis = “+1” input_left_axis = “-0” input_right_axis = “+0”
I just installed Lakka 2.0. I can pair my nes30pro, but it will never connect when the system reboots. I keep having to pair it manually. I tried the link above for the Wireless Dualshock for “surviving a reboot”, but there is nothing on that page about it. Is there a fix for this?
i have the same problem, sometime it pair automatically if i turn it on at some moment during lakka boot, i don’t know the exact moment but some(rare)times it work, powering nes30 pro after lakka interface is displayer NEVER auto pair
