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

[ndeadly]

Does this currently not support wii controllers on fw 12?

They're "supported", it's just the pairing that's broken on 12.x.x because a command that changed requires an update. If you've paired them on a firmware prior to 12.0.0 they'll continue to work.

Hey! again me, i listened that mission control cause problems of connections with generic controls, that is true? i have a pro controller type smash OEM, i can lost the connection of my control?

There was an issue with connecting third party switch controllers in the very first release, but this hasn't been a problem for a long time. You shouldn't have any issues, but if you do, it's nothing that can't be fixed if you report them to me.

I'm having some trouble, could anyone help?
FW 11.0.1 / AMS 18.1 / Mission Control 0.4.1

I added the files to the appropriate folder and then rebooted. I go to the controller pairing screen. I hold down the center green button on my Shield Controller 2015 until light flashes and it appears to be in pairing mode. I press buttons on the controller but nothing seems to work. Am I supposed to turn on Mission Control somehow? Is it a controller problem?

Only the 2017 shield controller will work. The older one uses wifi direct instead of Bluetooth.

So for new users under 12.X, no way to pair controllers ? Thx

I have the same question as @CrashMidnick Im looking to connect my Wii U pro controller on 12.0.2 but it doesn't work? Do i have to downgrade to 11.0.1 and pair the Wii U Pro controller then update back to 12.0.2? Thanks in advance.

Yes, for now that's the way to do it. I'm looking into a solution for 12.x.x. I think there are some new checks on the device properties that will need to be patched out to make them work again. Problem is none of the debugging tools have been updated for 12.x.x so it's hard to know what's actually causing the pairing to fail...

 

[fatmeegz]

Thanks for the reply @ndeadly! I figured that's what i had to do. Wanted to hear it from the man himself! I appreciate all that you do for us... Keep up the great work mate!

Ask GW to update and fix their shit, it’s all on them.

Lol, nice one.

How's that 12.x.x support going for you?

In seriousness, if it were just a matter of "adding support", don't you think somebody else would have done it by now? The project is open source and anyone is free to modify it. Plenty of talented developers out there that have no problem supporting TX.

@ndeadly I have a question about building the alpha. I tried to build the Atmosphere-lib but always stuck with bit_cast not found in the std. Is this a problem with the compiler? Thanks.

I can't remember exactly what the cause of that error is, but I've seen it myself before and yeah it's something compiler/environment related. Firstly, make sure your devkitPro is up to date (pacman -Syy && pacman -Syu) . You also want to be building from the develop branch (git checkout develop) as master is quite outdated at the moment and may even be broken for building. You'll need to rebuild and install libnx, and rebuild Atmosphere-libs after switching too, as the branch you're on is tied to specific commits for these libraries. Hopefully after doing all that you should be able to build successfully.

Thanks for the help! I will try reinstalling my devkit and compile it again. I just need to disable the LED for my ds4.

Okay, I can't pair any controller if I'm on 12.0.2? I'm new to the homebrew scene and I have a DS4 controller and I'm not having any success with this. Is there a chance I am doing something wrong? Anyway to check if the tool is correctly installed inside my switch? (hbmenu doesn't show anything new)

The only controllers I know of where pairing is still broken on latest firmware are all Wii and ipega controllers. DS4 definitely works, but some can be a little stubborn to connect and require you to keep trying a few times. Make sure you've read the instructions for pairing on the GitHub page so you know you're doing it correctly. Some people have also told me resetting the controller can help too.

The easiest way to check if the module is running is to connect your joycons via Bluetooth and see whether you can use the button combos minus + dpad_up/down for capture and home

I connected the Atgames Legends Pinball using MissionControl to the Switch, using wireless control deck mode on the pinball.
On the Switch it appears as a Pro Controller, but no buttons works.
Connecting the Legends Pinball on an Android device works as a bluetooth controller and the buttons works.
Can it be fixed for the Switch ? It's to play Pinball FX3.

Yes, it just needs a handler created for it to map the controls. Open a controller request on my GitHub page
