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
