SlothOS Controller: turn your RG35XX H into a Bluetooth HID gamepad (v1.0 released)

https://github.com/slothitude/slothos-bt-gamepad

SlothOS Controller v1.0 is out: the beginning of a new wireless controller option for the RG35XX H.

It turns the handheld into a Bluetooth HID gamepad: pair it from Windows / macOS / Android / Linux

and every button, the D-pad, and both sticks just work. No drivers on the host, no extra software.

The device keeps working as a retro handheld this adds a second identity as a wireless controller.

-------------------------------------------------------------

start/stop

App center/ Apps/ tf-1/ BT_Mode

pair and accept the number

**Exit BT mode:** press **Start + Select** together. Clean return to the launcher, no reboot.

----------------------------------------------------------

The script handles stock-firmware quirks for you (clock skew, sshd perms, pip bootstrap) and adds

the launcher entry automatically. Repo + troubleshooting landmines:

**Install (one command from a machine that can SSH to the device):**

git clone https://github.com/slothitude/slothos-bt-gamepad.git

cd slothos-bt-gamepad

./install.sh --password root <device-ip>

------------------------------------------------------------

**Uninstall:** `./install.sh --uninstall <device-ip>` removes everything (stack, splash, launcher entry, icon, systemd unit).

Would anyone actually want this? RG35XX H as a Bluetooth HID gamepad for PC/phone

I wanted to use the H as a wireless controller for PC games (and as a generic BT gamepad for anything), so I built a small Python stack that runs on the device alongside the stock firmware. Posting in case anyone else wants to go down this hole it took way longer than it should have because of a few H700/Realtek-specific landmines.

What it does: phone or PC pairs to the device as "SlothOS Controller" enumerates as a standard HID-compliant game controller, no driver install (cloned 8Bitdo VID/PID). Every button works in joy.cpl at 120 Hz.

If there's interest I'll clean it up, get it a proper VID/PID, and release. Anyone actually want this / have use cases beyond PC gaming?
