@YFZdude I see. Thanks for the info and the tip. But the issue I have, and the reason I wanted for every button to work on d-input, is the fact that both controllers have the same name in switch mode, which is a problem with their wildly different layouts.

In which mode are you using the controller?

I had some trouble configuring mine with a couple of buttons when it was in X-input mode (X + Start when turning on the controller). Some of buttons were showing up as analog axes instead of button presses. I solved it by changing the mode to either Switch mode (Y + Start) or D-input (B + Start) and re-configuring the controller.

I think part of the problem is EmulationStation doesn't want you to use an Axis when configuring certain buttons. Not sure if this could be fixed in the auto configuration. I believe you could manually edit the controller config to get around that though.

@sleve_mcdichael now when I try and connect to my Pi from my PC using ssh pi@retropie.local (which you helpfully advised in another post) it just opens a black box for 3 seconds which then disappears before I can do anything. My PC and Pi are on the same network.

Hi guys.

Thank you very much for your help. Finally, I could configure the 8bitdo m30 bluetooth gamepad for Retropie 4.6 but I have a problem. I need to configure the gamepad everytime I turn on the Raspberry Pi 4 model b with 2 GB because I can't pair the gamepad with Retropie when I turn on the Pi.

I test several buttoms configurations: "Start" 2 seconds + "Select" 3 seconds, "Start" 2 seconds + "Pair" 3 seconds,... but it didn't function at all. There is any special buttom combination that I should press to pair my gamepad with Retropie when I turn on the Pi?

Kind regards.

Thanks for all the help guys. I finally got it to work yesterday. Seems I forgot to go back and configure the controller once the Bluetooth was set up. I just use the keyboard to bring up controller input and everything was good after that.

Thanks a bunch! 👍

@psyke83
Hello. I've built a binary from the master, but the shoulders still don't work on the M30 pad. Could you tell if they already should work?

It should work on the latest dev branch, yes. Is your controller definitely using axes 2 & 5 for triggers (considering differences in firmware/pairing mode)?

Note that the axis filtering is done only when defining the trigger buttons, so if you're doing non-standard mapping to buttons other than the triggers, it won't work.
