      I just wanted to confirm (after mentioning this in a previous post), that I seem to have found a consistent bug with the 8Bitdo Bluetooth controllers when connecting to a Retropie.

      After a fresh install/flashing of the disc image, I immediately connected both my N30 Pro 2 and my SN30 Pro and configured them both. At the restart, and anytime onward, if you hit the right d-pad, it will scroll one space to the left. If you hit left d-pad at boot, it will scroll two spaces to the left.

      So there is an extra input command in there for both controllers, which happens at boot each time (just the first press, after that it's "cleared" and functions normally). I can also confirm this does not happen to any wired controllers, so does not seem to be a problem in Retropie.

      Just thought I'd leave this here in case anyone runs into a similar quirk. Also, this is on default Retroipie settings, and I have not flashed the firmware of the controllers.
