iPad Blutrol 3.0 and Emulators

[lepeos]

I can't seem to get this new version of Blutrol that works with PS3 controllers to work with any emulators. I've tried SNES 9EX+ and GBA.emu but it just doesn't work. Is there something I'm missing?

I have the same problem. After some googleing I found this:

I did note that the iCade button configuration of Snes9x and MD.emu overrules that of Blutrol. In other words: Mapping buttons with Blutrol is impossible for Snes9x and MD.emu (and probably all other Robert Broglia emulators). But again: It doesn't matter as Robert's emulators have their own button mapping options *bonking head against table one more time*

Looks like Snes9x overwrites the bluetrol config 🙁
Hope there is a workarond / fix soon!

Wowz!! Analog controls at last!! Off to test them with my iContolPad and its excellent analog pads.

Thanks guys. I've reported it as an issue on Cydia and I'm going to contact Robert to see if I can get some more information. Good to know its not just me experiencing the issues.

Well, not 'good' but, you know...

Well please keep this thread updated if anyone finds out something more 🙂

Nothing back so far. If I can just get this working I can finally justify a purchase of an AppleTV!

So the emulators were all updated recently and I tried them out again with blutrol. I actually managed to get Snes9x working for a bit but after a while it began to lag badly.

Checked the emulator author's Twitter and it looks like someone has brought it to his attention and he's working on a fix right now.

Came here to post the same thing 🙂
FYI mame4ios had native support for bluetooth sixaxis now, but I haven't had the time to try it out...

Wait, I've had no problems with any of them except with the snes one. All I had to do was turn the frameskip up because of Blutrol running in the background using power. I was using analog controls on the PS3 controller and everything.

Perhaps Blutrol should be built into the apps directly and be enabled when the main Blutrol app is purchased and downloaded.

That's strange, I have the same problem with all the .emu emulators. I hope the fix comes before the weekend, I've got a plane to catch and wouldn't mind some Metroid to pass the time.
