Bluetooth issues #628
Bluetooth issues #628
Comments
I’ve been using the Scptoolkit (not sure which version) for a few days now. I’ve been using my ps3 controller plugged in with no issues whatsoever. However, I recently found one of my old Bluetooth devices and tried to use it. I’ve been fiddling around with settings and I THINK the drivers are all installed properly however when I pull out the cable my ps3 controller does not connect to the Bluetooth (it does the usual flash all lights many times and then stop).
I get a popup saying: «Bluetooth host supports communication with DualShock 3 controllers» and another saying «Initializing Bluetooth host 00:15:83:0C:BF:EB (HCI0-Version: 3.0C5C, LMP-Version: 3.0C5C)». So I figured that at least the device is working.
I’ve tried force uninstalling and force installing the bluetooth but still nothing.
I’ve tried running the server and not the service. And also tried delaying the start of the service (I read in a forum that worked for people).
I’ve tried using other controllers. I’ve tried reinstalling scptoolkit. And I’ve tried the bluetooth device on both USB 2.0 and 3.0
I’ve attached a bug report too but it doesn’t mean much to me.
I have no idea what else to do and I’d really appreciate some help.

I’ve also seen a lot of comments telling others to use the custom bluetooth driver on the installer but I don’t see this option. (here is a picture of what i see on the installer
)
The SCP monitor shows me this
With the controller plugged in:
And this when it is removed:
And I can’t any indication (except on the Server) that the bluetooth device is actually searching for the controller.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
Bluetooth worked poorly(randomly varying latency) on my knock-off DS3 with the original SCP package. Never worked at all with this fork despite all the relevant drivers being installed to relevant devices and pairing messages indicating success.
Tried: https://github.com/nefarius/ScpToolkit/releases/tag/v1.6.238.16010 and https://github.com/nefarius/ScpToolkit/releases/tag/v1.7.277.16103-BETA
I wasn’t able to connect my DS3 or DS4 controllers via bluetooth with SCPToolkit alone but now I can have both connected at the same time 🙂
here’s what I had to do:
once downloaded go into the ../bin/Zadig directory
opened the Zadig program, click device>load preset, load the «bluetooth» preset
then click options>list all devices, select your bluetooth adapter from the list and click «replace driver»
afterwards load the DualShock4/DualShock3 preset (whichever you want to use), go to options>list all devices, choose the controller and click «replace driver»
I hope my instructions are clear enough 😀 lol
Thanks for all the attention 🙂
Curtiola, I tried your method but I’m not seeing any results.
I’ll run you through the steps I took and see if I’ve missed anything.
- go to the SCP forum and download
- put the file into another folder
- Run Zadig, Click «Device» then «Load Preset» and choose the Bluetooth preset
- «Options» choose «List all devices» (and make sure it’s ticked). Choose the Bluetooth Device and «Replace Driver» [mine says reinstall since I already have it installed]
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 but with Dualshock3 preset and the PS3 CONTROLLER.
I tried running the server and service. nothing. I tried reinstalling and keeping the zadig application open. nothing.
Should I be using the SCP toolkit at the same time? because I’m not. If, yes, how?
If you could, can you send pictures (just copy and paste them in the text box) of your Server? I would like to see what it’s meant to look like.
Thanks in advance
Hmm, you did everything the way I did it, for me it worked straight away after I installed the drivers with Zadig, but my problem was that my BT adapter isn’t supported so I needed to use Zadig, also I did use Better DS3 to pair my PS3 controller with my BT adapter earlier in the day, perhaps pairing is the only issue you’re having?
Also your BT adapter needs to support Bluetooth 2.0 or higher + EDR, so make sure it can before you spend a lot of time trying to fix the issue.
Which version of SCPToolkit are you using?
Maybe you just need to run the updater before installing the controller drivers.
According to another post, ( #520 ) to pair the DS3 controller he had to update to ScpToolkit v1.6.238.16010 (and I assume reinstall the drivers) then just plugging the controller in paired it.
I’m using ScpToolkit v1.7.277.16103-BETA
If you do have one of the newer versions, you could try running the SCPToolkit driver installer again with «Force Driver Installation» checked, or perhaps just without replacing the BT adapter driver, just do the controller.
(Of course the controller needs to be plugged in the whole time)
Or perhaps your PC is simply blocking unsigned drivers, although I would think it would tell you so if it were, if you haven’t disabled the driver signature enforcement, you can do that by opening CMD as administrator [Win + X and select Command Prompt (Admin)] and entering the following:
bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks on
then
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
Some games like «For Honor» for example require integrity checks to be enabled to run.
Also bear in mind that using this solution will disable driver signature enforcement permanently, thus making your computer somewhat vulnerable.
You can re-enable it by switching the word ON in both commands with OFF though.
I’m sorry if none of this helps, I’m kind of a noob in this department.
& here is what my server looks like
Plugged in: 
Immediately after unplugging it connects with Bluetooth: 
Maaaaan, I’m so jealous.
Yh I think the pairing is the real issue here. My SCP doesn’t have a dedicated Pair tool. 
My Bluetooth is 4.0
How did you know your Bluetooth was unsupported? (Just trying to find the precise issue)
Version wise, the SCP driver installer is 1.6.238.16010 and the SCPUpdater tells me it’s up to date.
This was before trying your Zadig Method. I’ve tried combinations of using Zadig by itself and with the toolkit, nothing seems to work so far.
Before I’d run the SCPDriverInstaller and if I force install it would freeze and never yeild results (I once left it for over an hour).
I haven’t seen any signs of my PC blocking unsigned drivers although I do believe I did this method back when I was using motioninjoy years ago (also couldn’t get bluetooth to work). Although i did see this message pop up earlier today and don’t really know what it means or if it’s even relevant: 
I tried running the ScpDriver.exe but that just gave my controller and bluetooth different drivers and didn’t do much: 
so I changed them back.
My server when plugged in: 
My Server when pulled out: 
Any other ideas? Maybe I’m being a noob and not pairing it correctly?
Also how are you using the folder? Have you put it under Program Files etc by itself, have you exclusively taken out Zadig or are you using a combination?
I left the SCPServer & zadig in the downloads folder so it should be fine wherever you have it.
Found out the driver with SCPToolkit is signed, so even if checks are on the drivers would still install..
Also I have no idea what that giant error is about.. but it looks like it’s something to do with permissions or it could just be because that DBreezeSchema is already in use, it mentions «creation of database folder failed» perhaps it’s as simple as running things as admin? Sometimes it’s the smallest problems that take the most time to solve.
Here is the list of compatible bluetooth adapters: https://github.com/nefarius/ScpToolkit/wiki/Compatible-Bluetooth-Devices
If you don’t know exactly which one you have, you can compare the list with your «USB\VID_0DB0&PID_A871&REV_5276» numbers from your BT adapter properties in device manager, but Zadig should work with any BT 2.0 or higher adapter with EDR as far as I know.
**Maybe using the latest beta version of SCPToolkit will work for you, I couldn’t say for sure.. but my HCI/LMP version are 4.149c and yours are 3.0c5c (I honestly don’t know what that means though)
I’m new to this too lol I have no idea how to pair, as far as I can tell, it should pair automatically when you plug the controller in or when you install the drivers with SCPToolkit while the controller is plugged in. :/
The beta doesn’t have the legacy pair tool either and the one that came in the .zip with zadig in it doesn’t seem to work, I just don’t plan on ever pairing the controller with my PS3 again.. just in case..
The process of pairing with Better DS3 after SCPToolkit drivers are installed is long and should be entirely unnecessary.
If you want to try it, I don’t think it’s a good solution, but it will guarantee your controller is paired at the very least, here are the instructions to use Better DS3 to pair it:
USE ONLY AS A LAST RESORT
THIS REQUIRES DISABLING DRIVER SIGNATURE ENFORCEMENT
[Win + X and select Command Prompt (Admin)] and entering the following:
bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks on
then
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
to install the motioninjoy driver for your controller the safest way,
download the driver here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/wjgegko4y8eqyw6/PS3_x64.zip
unzip and put it wherever you want,
in Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Devices and Printers
right click your PS3 controller,
go to properties,
go to the Hardware tab,
click «USB Input Device» in the functions list,
click «Properties»,
click «Change settings»,
go to the «Driver» tab,
click «Update Driver»,
click «Browse my computer for driver software»,
click «let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer»,
click «Have Disk»
enter the directory for the driver you’ve downloaded
[for me it’s «L:\Users\Curtis\Desktop\PS3 x64»]
and click OK
then use Better DS3
Download here: https://better-ds3.en.uptodown.com/windows
manually set the Master/Host MAC address for the controller using your BT adapters MAC address, which should be the same as the host address shown in the SCP Server picture from your post.
once done, you can do the SCPToolkit driver installation to replace the motioninjoy controller driver
& if necessary, Zadig as well, I only needed Zadig because my BT adapter wasn’t supported though
and re-enable integrity checks afterwards as well
