Bluetooth in wine?

[whatbug]

I'm running a PS One emulator developed for windows, and have set it up ok using wine. I'm using wine as windows emulators provide better graphics support.

I'm now trying to setup the controller (ps3) pref over bluetooth but usb would be fine. I have my bluetooth drivers installed and plugins in the emulator to support a controller. But the controller is not appearing, I'm guessing this is because im running it through wine?

Any ideas how to solve this?

Wine does not support any hardware drivers. Your program will not work under Wine. Use VM instead.

Hi

Sorry to jump on board but does this mean that if I already run a Windows based application through Wine, that I cannot use a serial bluetooth device which sets itself up as a local com port on ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS?

No, it doesn't. Wine will see such device as a regular serial port, if you properly setup symlinks in $WINEPREFIX/dosdevices.

PS3 game pad won't work because it's an HID device which requires specific driver(s).
