Homebrew Homebrew app Bloopair: Connect Controllers from other Consoles natively

[GaryOderNichts]

Anyone besides me and @godreborn have communication errors regularly? I tested all of my native controllers and they’re fine but my switch pro controller CONSTANTLY disconnects and sometimes does so without a message popping up and the only indication that it happened is my character suddenly running off a ledge or in circles when I let go of the stick.

Try updating the firmware of your switch controller.

jury is still out but I’m actually kinda hoping it DOESN’T work because this is the solution that makes me feel most incompetent

Well it doesn’t seem to have worked but I’m not sure if that makes me happy or frustrated.

One thing I DID notice is that when I had the controller charging (not on the console) while playing it didn’t hiccup at all. Maybe I should test my 8bitdo more to see if it has the same problem when used alone or if it’s JUST the switch controller.

Here’s the latest and a request for anyone out there who can help

My 8bitdo controller seems to be flawless which tells me my problem is isolated to the switch pro controller OR a combination of that controller, aroma, and the latest version of Bloopair.

Does anyone have OLDER versions of bloopair that work with aroma so I can see if those behave a bit better?

i had an issue with old controller few days ago. Gary suggested me to use v0.5.3, since some controllers are not compatible with newer versions

Any chance you will add support for the xbox elite controller?

The original XBOX Elite Controller does not support bluetooth.
The v2 version apparently has a huge HID descriptor which cannot be stored with the current buffer size of the Wii U's bluetooth stack. This would require some more advanced patches.

Can't you just ignore the descriptor and replace it with a shorter one when it connects?

Hello everyone, I am able to conenct the DS4 to my Wii U but for some reason my 2 xbox one controllers won't conenct. Any tips I can try, they are Xbox one not series X controllers which i thought where compatible.

Earlier versions of the xbox one controllers don't have bluetooth, check which version you have.

Hello, I just wanted to contribute something to continue complementing and referencing.

I bought the KingKong2 PRO Controller from GuliKit, soon I will have a switch and I thought of it as an investment in the future since it works for both switch, PC, android etc.

The thing is that out of curiosity and remembering GaryGaryOderNichts who told me that if it works for switch, the theory is that it works for bloopair, well, yes, the theory is already practical, if it works, the good detail I didn't know what would happen, but the wiiu (maybe I don't know if it's bloopair or it's the wiiu itself) it recognizes it as an android remote, I thought, I don't get it either because I thought that, but I thought it would recognize it as a switch, which it does recognize, by the way, but it doesn't work, until It was my fault that I gave it sync and changed to Android and it works perfectly there.

and that's all, thanks for reading, greetings.

Hello, i was wondering if this is the right place to ask but how do i get this to work with Nintendoland? My Dualsense controllers will sync fine when brought up in the "Pair" menu or playing something like Mario64 but when i get into Nintendoland they turn off and won't sync when in-game.

i got my dual sense to connect once before..
after connecting it to my mac book
i cant get it to connect to the wiiu again
i've reset the control, turned off bt on mac, reinstalled bloopair
still cant get it to pair

any ideas?

I have a problem with my fake Nintendo Switch controller.

version 0.53 just installed and first synchronization of the controller works perfectly, when I turn off the console and connect the controller, it synchronizes but the L and R joysticks do not work.


latest version 0.62 the L and R joysticks work except up and to the right.

I would like to make my controller work, playing wind waker is wonderful with this controller (when it works xD)

It is possible to use Bloopair on vWii, more specifically Nintendont? If not, is there any Bloopair alternative or similar for vWii?

I'm not Gary, but I believe the PS3 DualShock can only be paired to one thing at a time, being in this case either your Wii U or PS3.

If you mean bluetooth controllers, it is currently not possible to use them on vWii, you can only use them via USB. Nintendont supports DualShock 3, DualShock 4, Switch Pro Controllers and Xbox Controllers (and many, many other controllers). You just need to download the controllers .ini files for Nintendont and place them inside a folder named "controllers" on your SD card.

There's also a cIOS module called FAKEMOTE which allows you to play Wii games using a DualShock 3 and DualShock 4 (USB only. You can't use them wirelessly)

Thank you very much! Don't know how fake cIOS modules work (never used them) but I'll look into it!

@GaryOderNichts
Do you have plans to update bloopair?

As I mentioned a few months ago, my problem is very strange with version 0.53 it works correctly the first time it is synchronized but when the console turns off and I pair the controller again the sticks do not work properly
