Hardware:

I have a Dual Shock 4 connected via BlueToodth. The controller is detected as Wireless Controller but I can't use it in the game. When I try to configure the mapping it doesn't work either. If I connect the controller via USB it works. The strange thing is that the Bluetoodth control worked at some point.

Debugging Steps Tested

• Connect the controller via Bluetoodth

I'm afraid this is an SDL issue. Flycast relies entirely on it to access input devices.

You can run Flycast from the command line and it will print out its log to the console.

@rebelinux something's going on with ArchLinux itself (or SDL) I presume...

Also I am in trouble with DualShock4 via bluetooth, but on Steam: the gamepad is recognized by Steam itself, but all tested games are NOT recognizing it.

Did you try downgrading sdl2 to 2.30.7‐1 or 2.30.6‐1 ?

Until the weekend I won't have a chance to try it on my installation unfortunately

I have downgraded the sdl package but I don't know if the flackpak uses the locally installed sdl libraries or a different package when the flackpak was compiled.

I do further debuging and found the real issue

The extension gnome-bluetooth-quick-connect cause some issue with the gamepad when i uninstalled the extension the gamepad work as expected. :)
