This is a daft remark and the problem is your end - Use an external image host then or resize your screeshot - the attachment limit is quite generous. You didn't have to upload a 2075x1555 pixel image! - if you had scaled it down, it would still have been readable and would have saved us some storage too.
We don't have unlimited disk space for hosting 10MB jpegs from everyone (there are over 10,000 users here).
-
@buzz thanks but that doesn't help me in any way to solve the problem.
i'm not the only one with problems with a 8bitdo controller.
so the problem is not on my end. -
@lxevans I was saying the problem with the image attachment size was your end, but certainly I have multiple 8bitdo controllers connected (as do other users) so this is also likely an issue your end.
Did you try choosing other mac addresses as suggested (it's worth re-scanning multiple times and to make sure you are not trying to connect to the already connected controller).
-
it does not connect after i choose the mac adress it crashes and ends with the error messages as shown.
i'm close to give up and toss the raspberry pi 3 in the next trashcan... the stuff is sold as "retro gaming kit" pi 3 power supply nes case and a 8bitdo 30. -
@lxevans We didn't sell you anything.
Did you update firmware on both controllers ?
Are you sure you are choosing the correct mac address ?
I've just realised you are not the original poster - why are you posting to this thread here? - I have no information about your problem. This topic is for someone trying to connect a second controller.
-
well then, i assume thats it. no you did not sell directly, the stuff i buyed was at brack but they only do hardware warranty. so thanks for your efforts

This gives a strong idea that you're using a preinstalled RetroPie and didn't installed it yourself. Is it true?
-
@meleu I think he's referring to the Cannakit, the 1st post with the system details doesn't mention the system being bough whole, but rather the kit and then the image downloaded from the Retropie site.
Although, there seem to be 2 posters with the same problem and I'm not sure both are referring to the same system !

Hi, Not sure what the sitch is with LXEvans, but my issue appears to be more straightforward (I hope). I followed this thread's suggestions of re-scanning, then suddenly decided, why not delete the profile and re-select the 8bitdo. Now, this controller works!
As soon as the two-controller config is tested, I will give this thread a final update.
Thanks all, and good luck to LXEvans!

problem seems to be solved - thank you all!
until next time...
