Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Anyways:
Which emulators are you using to emulate "arcade-classics"?
Which roms/"arcade-classics" you tested it with?
Which 8bitdo controller do you use?

@BobbyDigital you can have both. If you need to install a bluetooth device all you have to do is unistall the ps3 driver. Then when you are finished reinstall the ps3 driver. When you want to add more bluetooth devices, remove the ps3 driver. Wash rinse repeat.

does noone know the answer to this question please?

Hello,
The controller,Did you start it in Windows mode or other mode ?
You have 4 mode on the controller.

@Joface , did you ever find a solution to this? I'd like to know if you did. Thank you

@theplayerone i have two of the raphnet adapters. They work great for me. Sorry you are having an issue with it.

Deleted /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg, then reconfigured the input in ES, now it works. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I'm having the same issues with ppsspp and 8bitdo controller.

@qanba
Like what BuZz said, you need to give us more information so we can help:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Also, please read this document:
https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Dreamcast/#controls

You probably just need to edit your controller's configuration file for Reicast/Dreamcast.

Sorry for not replying earlier guys, and thanks for the replies!

@TMNTturtlguy I tried pressing TAB when in-game (lr-quicknes). Nothing happens. I can control the game fine from the keys however. I'll try to find Select+Y on the keyboard!

@BuZz I removed the device, switched 8bitdo hack ON and added it back again. Didn't help. Then I realized I need to remap the controls in ES, which worked. Thanks!

@Danorak1981 yes, updating is the best fix! But the Zero gamepads can't be updated I'm afraid.
Funny thing, I have one older Zero gamepad and one slightly newer. The hack is needed for the old one but not the new one (and the Zero can't be updated).

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.

Formated the microSD card, wrote the latest img file (4.2) and now all is good.
Controllers are now installed and working fine.
Case closed. Thanks.

The 8bitdo controllers are nice, and provided you follow all the installation instructions and update the firmware on the controller it'll work really well.

My other retro controller is the wired iBuffalo SNES pad, - it only has one set of shoulder buttons and no sticks but it's plug and play and works well.

I like the option of a bluetooth controller because I also run an Amiga emulator and wanted to have a second wired controller, mouse, keyboard and USB stick using up the ports.

@oceantologist you need to uninstall the ps3controller driver.

I removed the whole opt/ folder from root and replaced it with one from a fresh install and changed the permissions. Then removed the gamecon USB driver for the 2 SNESpads and removed SFC30 from bluetooth. Paired it and set it up in Emulation Station.

Now the SFC30 is working like it should again, I'm pretty sure as soon as I'm going to install the gamecon USB driver again the SFC30 is going to stop working. Any Idea on how to prevent this?

@harmonf @BuZz

Ignore me. Game Mode on my TV was turned off. That seems to have fixed it considerably. Maybe still not perfect, but I can easily play it now.

Thanks again.
