I posted this on the Linux mint forums a while ago, but no traffic on the post and it’s driving me crazy.
Problem: I can connect the controllers just fine via Bluetooth, but yuzu and dolphin don’t recognize them unless I’ve deleted them from blueman and freshly re-paired them. More details abd system info in the forum post, but this is the gist. Does anybody have any insight? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
When I was doing some research on this, I saw most guides suggest installing various xbox controller driver shims. I can easily imagine the steam controller mapping fulfilling the same role.
But yeah. I have an ultimate whatever the hell (the xbox-like with hall effect sticks) that I connect with the dongle and no issues in Ubuntu. Never tried to pair with my linux PC using bluetooth. Only issue I have is that getting the various 8bitdo software suites running in wine is a bit of a headache but there is a phone app that works more than well enough.
A phone app?! Why didn’t I think to look for that. I’ll give that a look as well. Man I’m glad this community is full of troubleshooters.
