      Dietpi on Orange Pi zero 2w.

      Thanks, I'll try!

      For my N30, SN30 and my P30 mod kit. I'll update this post when tried. And I'm writing this to find the topic tomorrow evening 😉

      Edit: I needed to activate the flashing status.
      Followed the rest of your steps though. Did not successfully and stably connect the N64 mod kit yet.

      Edit: Best ways of working to connect 8bitdo modkit Bluetooth controller with Retropie on the Orange Pi Zero 2w, so far…

      Do not install blueman-manager.
      Do not connect via Bluetoothctl in the terminal.

      Use Retropie Bluetooth menu to connect to the controller. Assure the /var/lib/bluetooth/MACADDRESS/ does not contain the controller device you wish to connect. Delete the controller file, and also from the cache folder, if any issues occur.

      Hope this helps any future Dietpi users.

      @lmjiang1 hello i had this same issue with xu4 retroarena, m30 after reboot i get no pair, m30 would pair but couldnt do anything in game or ES, i updated m30, no luck.
      Xu4 has only 3 ports i had a hdd connected, wifi usb, bt dongle all my usb connects gone so i thought maybe i need to connect to 3.0 usb, i bought 2 bt and same issue happen.
      I then added a multi usb but it would do the same thing, i had some try m30 with thoses 20 dollar usb bt by with like super mario block design and i thought i need one of thoses, same thing happen, no pairing all what i have type above.

      So i gave it about 2 months and asked again and tried again, once i had turned on the xu4 after months it paired right up like nothing had happened, so i played.
      I had help and we tired to pair with switch mode and android but no luck i was fed up dude.

      The guys at retroarena dont know what it is, i been waiting for about 1 month in a half but i havent bothered anymore.

      But the m30 works fine with all other machines, just might be the xu4 cos someone else tired and did the same thing, might be your pi2 is the samething.
      Works fine on my pi3b+ i used thme and pair just fine.

      So my solution at the end since i got xu4 for saturn and just more power i put it away and ordered a pi4 and works super awesome!
      I installed yabause on desktop and played dracula x.

      Im sorry that it acts the way it does and i hope someone can help.

      @Floob I have seen you replying to some 8bitdo Nes30 pro topics in the forum, any idea about what might be happening? I can only exit to ES from my N64 games with Sel+Start, and also if I try to load a previous saved state, it also exits to ES.

      Update: Installed the newest firmware for the controllers (4.0), whereas apparently I was previously on 2.65 or something like that.

      One controller works and the bug even seems to be fixed.

      The other controller now won't connect to Retropie at all.

      Edit: Took me like an hour of fiddling but both controllers now connect properly and the save state bug is gone! Had a devil of a time getting Retropie to let me register and connect both pads at once for some reason.

      Thanks for the suggestion to update the firmware, I had completely forgotten that I had done it when I first got the pads and I honestly wouldn't have thought a small Hong Kong company like 8BitDo would keep working on new firmware updates for so long - pleasantly surprised to be wrong. At least in the end the fix turned out to be relatively simple!

      @mitu said in Creating Save States with a Single Button Press:

      pressing only Start should exit the game.

      My experience with (retropie 4.6) is that (luckily) it doesn't. Which at least for my purposes is good. Should this change at some future version, then if 'input_enable_hotkey =" and single press hotkeys are what's desired, then one would need to change that mapping in RetroArch configurations somewhere to avoid exiting emulator when Start is pressed. (it's almost like the old joke on Windows - you press start to to stop/exit ;-) ).

      wow. I can't believe I didn't reconfigure the joypad in ES afterwards. What an obvious thing to try. I just assumed I was modding the .cfg from the menu. All is working now. Thanks for the assistance!
