BthPS3 stops working after more than 9 paired (not connected!) devices

First of all: I'm SO HAPPY to put some new life into my old DualShock3-Gamepads :)

But I ran into a strange problem with BthPS3: I got 9 different gamepads paired (not connected, just paired) and when I pair a 10th one, BthPS3 stops working. No matter what gamepad I pair, it's always the same: 9 ok for BthPS3, 10 not. If I delete one from the paired devices list and restart, everything is working again. I don't think it's a bluetooth problem, since you can pair as may devices as you like and connect about 7 or so.

My Bluetooth-Controller is the Intel internal one, which is on the supported devices list and I'm using the latest official version of BthPS3 (the one from august 2022).

Can anyone reproduce this? If not, I post some logs of course. Thanks for your help!

Intel Wireless has always been "special", I wouldn't trust it further than I can throw it. I recommend you try a different, dedicated USB dongle instead.

Thank you, found the issue 😁 Gonna need to ship an update 🙃

Great News! Can't wait to try it out! Thanks for looking into it.

Please don't get me wrong, I know developers hate things like that, but I'm just curious. Is there a planned release date or does it take longer? You can - of course - delete this post and REALLY (!) sorry if that question bothers you.

There isn't as business tasks, friends and family matters take priority and then when some day has a few spare hours I look into hobby projects like these. Have done so since 2014 and been very successful. So if you don't see any update from me, rest assured there isn't anything worth reporting going on. A release will appear at the usual location when it's done, as simple as that.

And what point would it be in deleting posts, your post already caused me to read it and therefore invest time in a response so if you seek helping me, you help best by keeping my inbox quiet 🙂
