      Hi.
      In my setup i have dual 8bitdo bluetooth controllers. With retro pie 3.... i never had any issue with that. But now after updating to the latest retropie 4 (clean install) I'm having issues using both controllers. If i have one connected everything is fine. But is i connect both (yes both a connecting fine) and trying to play Tekken 3 for example some functions stops working. start + slelect won't exit the emulator and on one controller A,B, X & Y does nothing. But with one controller connected all those functions are there. I can see when starting an emulator it sees two connected controllers on different "ports".

      Any help would be appreciated!

      Thanks!

        In $ cd /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads I have one file named 8BitdoNES30Pro.cfg

        And the content of that file is:

        input_device = "8Bitdo NES30 Pro"
        input_driver = "udev"
        input_r_y_plus_axis = "+3"
        input_l3_btn = "13"
        input_r_x_minus_axis = "-2"
        input_l_btn = "6"
        input_load_state_btn = "6"
        input_start_btn = "11"
        input_exit_emulator_btn = "11"
        input_l_y_minus_axis = "-1"
        input_up_btn = "h0up"
        input_r_y_minus_axis = "-3"
        input_a_btn = "0"
        input_b_btn = "1"
        input_reset_btn = "1"
        input_down_btn = "h0down"
        input_l_x_plus_axis = "+0"
        input_l_y_plus_axis = "+1"
        input_r_btn = "7"
        input_save_state_btn = "7"
        input_r2_btn = "9"
        input_r3_btn = "14"
        input_right_btn = "h0right"
        input_state_slot_increase_btn = "h0right"
        input_x_btn = "3"
        input_menu_toggle_btn = "3"
        input_select_btn = "10"
        input_enable_hotkey_btn = "10"
        input_l_x_minus_axis = "-0"
        input_y_btn = "4"
        input_left_btn = "h0left"
        input_state_slot_decrease_btn = "h0left"
        input_r_x_plus_axis = "+2"

          Hi,

          I had a similar problem to the one you described here. The problem I found is that I had one older 8bitdo controller a new one. The old when had older firmware (v 2.7). Once I upgraded the firmware to version 3.x and followed the retropie 8bitdo guide everything worked fine.
