This guide shows how to get a bluetooth controller working with RetroPie on a Raspberry Pi. I think the process should work for most bluetooth devices, but the range from 8bitdo are really nice. Using RetroPie 3.0. For versions later than 3.0 please check my other videos.

Note that the process should now correctly configure your controller file for retroarch, so no need to manually recreate as in the video from about 32min in.
Some pre-configured controller scripts here if you really need them:
