8bitdo NES30 Pro Hotkeys not working (Firmware 1.70 Beta 5)

Floob

Try using firmware 1.68 with the NES30 Pro and re-adding the controller in Emulation Station.
You may need to re-register the controller when you change the firmware.

If there are still issues, post your controller files on pastebin.com from
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads

1.69 works you need to downgrade to that. I have 3 of them running on 1.69. They didnt work on 1.68 for me.

I just wanted to threw out there that I am also using 1.69 for a while now on an NES30 Pro and an FC30 Pro.

I'm not sure if these two will work together but they appear to work on their own.

Tried 1.69, no go. As soon as I disconnect BT device, the generic SNES pad I have has working hot keys again....

Its 1.68 that should work. Please see post above - of it doesnt please let us know.

@Floob

Same thing for 1.68

Floob

Can you post up your controller file generated via ES when you had 1.68?
Please put on pastebin.com

You can find the file here:
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/

Can you post this info up?

I'm using a Pi Model B. I downloaded the image from RetroPi and applied and went forward to the latest beta. Before the beta, I got this issue so I thought moving up might help. I also moved up the entire OS as well (didn't help).

again, the only issue is the hotkeys working on this controller: 8bitdo NES30 Pro

@drduranduran Your files look right for firmware 1.68 - as you say they work fine.
So if its just the hotkeys that arent working, does that mean you have altered this file?
opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

Your controller file has the right hotkey detail in it - assuming you are running RetroArch.

I didn't manually modify any files.... Is there a way to reset the entire RetroPie and not disturb the ROM folders? I don't mind taking it back to stock settings.

Thanks for the help....

Nevermind, I burnt it all down. On RetroPie 4.0 RC1 using NES30 Pro Firmware 1.7 Beta 5 and now the hotkeys are working. Thanks for the assist anyways...
