Submit the proper logs, es launch logs are not relevant here. Issue template tells you to attach a support file, and how to generate it.

Issue already raised in march by another user in the v39. So issue is still on v40, and still on v41. Reverted back to v38, as seems no fix are ongoing

That issue also contains no logs, and will likely be closed unfixed.

PS3 controllers have different ways or methods to connect you don't have to go to Controller settings to Activate Bluetooth and select the Associate Bluetooth Controller Automatically

1- Plug it via the USB cable into the machine Batocera is running on
2- Wait 5-10 seconds
3-Unplug the cable and press the PlayStation button in the middle of the controller

It should then automatically be detected and paired

I did try, doesnt work neither (updated the first post, it's PS4 controllers, not PS3)

I'm having the same problem with version 41 2025/02/01.

When I try to use Bluetooth, the system can't pair the PS3, PS4, Switch and Xbox One controllers.
It doesn't even appear in the scan, both with the machine's internal adapter that makes it work and with the external Baseus adapter that works perfectly on the other PC where I already use the PS4 controller for some games.

The same thing happens with Wifi, it doesn't find any network around, and it also doesn't connect even if I enter the data manually.

Now I'm going to start backing up everything I did to downgrade to version 38 indicated here, to see if it works properly.
