Homebrew RELEASE MissionControl: Use controllers from other consoles natively via Bluetooth

It is very odd. My "authentic" pro controller really looks like the real deal. It has alle the symbols/marks that copys usually dont have. But I bougth the wii u system second hand so I really cant be sure that the pro controller indeed is original but it would surprise me if this was a clone.
Could it be something else ?

There's always the possibility that there's some other cause, but like I said, if Wii remotes are working I really don't see why the pro controllers wouldn't. The pairing is exactly the same.

I have noticed a few occasions since 13.0.0 where my Wii controllers didn't pair until after a reboot, so you could try this if you haven't already. Not sure if reliability decreased since the update, or whether it's just some instability I introduced during development/debugging.

Probably not the cause, but could also be worth checking your bluetooth pairing database is not full. You can do so with my btdb tool. I'm not actually sure what the expected behaviour is once you exceed 10 paired devices. I would assume it just overwrites the oldest one and carries on, but I know at least internally that hitting this limit generates some kind of error status.

If all else fails you could try making a log of your pairing attempts with this debug build of 0.6.0 and post it here. The log will be created on your SD card at sdmc:/bluetooth-mitm.log

I'm pretty sure I merged the code from that build into master, so it should be in the latest release version. Easiest way is to just try it and see. If it's stopped working let me know and I'll look into it.

Ookay will do and tell you. Weird question, adding batteries to the T2a is making it heavy, i trid to plug it USB to dock but nothing happens, i thought maybe i can like power it up using cable and yet use i as wireless, like connect it to adapted connected to outlet, do you know if it is possible ? i googled and found it is possible with xbox controller

Don't know about that as I'm not familiar with the T2a, it depends on how the controller has been designed. In theory this is how I would expect most controllers to work, but it's also possible that it may switch wireless mode off in favour of USB if a data connection is detected on the cable. I often just plug my controllers into a phone charger if I want to power/charge them. It's likely faster to charge and avoids the problem of the controller wanting to connect via USB.

Yeah this one if i remove the batteries, and plug it phone charger nothing happens, tho if i press R+L , 2 lights will start flashiing . And if i press Start+ Select, all the lights will flash one after another. Weird behaviour no ? adding batteries made the controller very heavy for me

I have some trouble connecting my I pegs 9055. With the previous releases, the controller usee to connected fine, but now, after wiped the paired controller from system settings, I just managed to connected it once, after a lot of tried pushed X + home + select. The wiimote, in the other hand, always connected fine. Any suggestion?

Are the wiimotes fixed on 12.0.1? Or is it still underway?

Yes, wii controller pairing has been fixed for all firmware versions since the final 0.5.0 release

oh nice let me try mine, see if it works.
I'm assuming it's just pressing the 1+2 buttons and they sync up in the controller menu?

Edit: man it feels so good to be able to play galaxy with the nunchuck again, any substitutes/workarounds to motion controls?

I love this been using my ps4 controller and works great.

I've never actually tried the 1+2 method, but I think it requires the pincode to be reversed from memory so it probably doesn't work. Hitting the red sync button under the battery cover is the supported method.

No substitutes for motion controls, sorry. It should be possible to support wiimotes with motion plus in the future, but the data reporting is kind of weird for that and I need to get my hands on a physical controller to implement support. The original wiimotes only have an accelerometer and lack the gyro of the motion plus, instead relying on the IR camera for additional orientation information. It's probably not possible to properly add motion controls for those on Switch.

Does the latest version work in Firmware 13.1.0?

No, it needs to be updated. I have it booting again with the new atmosphere release on 13.1.0, and have created patches for wii controller pairing etc already, but something in the bluetooth services has changed that has broken controller connectivity. Unfortunately I'm busy this evening and won't be able to finish it until tomorrow at the earliest.

Works fine for me on latest firmware+Atmos+Hekate+sigpatches with my PS4 controller.

I have my doubts you're actually booting 13.1.0 then

Ah. You're correct. I thought I updated to 13.1.0 using daybreak, but I guess I downgraded to 12.0.3 by some fluke accident

I wish you the best of luck moving forward, if possible I can supply you one with the motion plus accessory! The idea of using the wiimote on the switch with any sort of controls is amazing as is, motion support would be beyond whatever I expected to begin with.

I will only update my Switch to 13.1 when it comes out.
Mission Control is very important in my use.
Is there any release forecast?

Support for 13.1.0 is complete. I will make a release in the next couple of hours, just want to squeeze in a small workaround I promised a couple of users first.
