This video shows the new Bluetooth functionality in RetroPie 3.8.1 (update to script required).

This lets you rescan automatically for Bluetooth controllers if they go into sleep mode. Also pre-configures 8bitdo config files required.

This makes using Bluetooth controllers so much easier and reliable.
