@SpudsMcToole said in 8bitdo Zero gamepad setup:

@Dochartaigh Oh, it needs a Bluetooth dongle? I thought the RP3 had Bluetooth built in.

Pi 3 does have bluetooth. I was just saying I thought it worked on my Pi Zero which doesn't have bluetooth (thus needing a dongle). I found my dongle, but can't find that tiny Zero to test unfortunately.

@BuZz Thank you Buzz. I actually just figured it out by gaining access to Retroarch's quick menu using the in-game hotkey, then fiddling around in there till I found something mentioning Bios.

But anyway, everything works now, except for reicast. But thank you all the same.

@codywest81384 Please have a look here.

Turns out the auto controller bindings made by EmulationStation where incorrect in RetroArch, I just had to go into the RetroArch Settings and rebind them. No Help Needed Here.

The steps described in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/post/53840 worked for me to reduce input lag on the SNES30/SN30. I'm looking for a way to make the changes permanent.

Not a problem. Glad it's working.

@buzz

Omg thank you so much. I have 2 Nes30 and 2 Nes30 Pro and the last freaking controller wouldnt match with my raspberry for several hours now.. it literally was the distance. I didnt come up with this idea, because all other 3, even the other nes30 pro, worked perfectly from far away. I put it right on the raspberry and it worked instant.
Maybe there are several version with different antenna or sthg?

Again: thanks, im a little mad about this garbage, but also happy it works now.

@cassini12 do you have the rpi near a router of other wireless equipment ?

What PSU do you use ?

please post the output of dmesg typed into a terminal via ssh (please use pastebin site)

@BuZz It's good to know that it's a kernel bug. Thanks for the info.

@batesman so i tested and it doesnt work any different as i thought. Sorry to waste your time. However this is good stuff to use because you can manipulate both analogs and the dpad to do whatever you want. With this method for using the analog stick as a dpad you could program the dpad to a whole new set of buttons that arent even related to direction like how first person shooters and other games are these days.

Thanks BuZz! I'll try that in the morning. I'd had my keyboard connected the entire time, so that's likely the issue.

It worked! Thanks!

@rbaker it works! thnx

Heh that's great news! Will it work with the runcommand menus as well, or just the retropie-setup menus? In either case, that's a superb improvement! :)
