NSO SNES controller green light on when MiSTer off

Post by DrLilo »

Hi guys.

Anyone else pairing an official NSO SNES controller to their MiSTer via bluetooth dongle?

While compatibility is solid, I'm finding that whenever the MiSTer is powered off the controller's 1st green power LED will always remain active. At first I assumed this was just going to time-out, but after waiting an hour... two.. overnight... It seems it'll keep going until the battery is drained.

Curiously if the MiSTer is on, but the user doesn't press anything, the controller's LEDs finally turn off. Pressing a button to wake the controller will make all four lights turn green. Or if the lights are off and the user turns the MiSTer off again, the light comes back.

I tried googling for any kind of manual turn off button combo for the controller, but information is hard to come by, as soon as you put "Nintendo Switch Online" into your google search you just get info about joycons syncing.

Just press the small pair button at the top and the controller will turn off.

Should do. Mine wakes on seemingly any button and immediately connects again.
