8BITDO SNES30 Gamepad Bluetooth
-
Hello. I am very new at the raspberry pi and retropie. I bought my set up of the new raspberry pi 3 along with 2 8BITDO SNES 30 Game Pads in hopes of creating a NES/SNES emulator. I installed retropie using thie https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/First-Installation . I tried connecting the controllers with the bluetooth but it seems only the dpad works. I've googled the problem and came this this thread https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/1835/8bitdo-snes30-bluethooth-input-issues . I have no experience with Linux at all, so i'm not sure how to execute this step ( did you follow the tutorial for making the etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules file? It will not recognize anything else on the controller if you didnt do that. here is what you needin the file. changecontroller name to your controller type:
Add the ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK attribute to the device so SDL picks up on it
SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{name}=="8Bitdo NES30 GamePad Joystick", MODE="0666", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1" )
I have plugged my controller into my computer and downgraded the firmware to 2.67 already.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated. -
@taligo Follow the 8bitdo instructions on the wiki - no need to manually edit anything - you should use the latest firmware also (as detailed in the documentation).

@BuZz I tried using those instructions to set up the controllers initially and it didn't work.
