8bitdo FC30pro not working in emulators

I have literally done every thing that this thread has suggested and some things a few other threads have suggested. The controller works fine in ES and works for the Nintendo emulator but nothing else.

Are you using libretro emulators? When you pick a game you need to push the "0" button which is "button a" on the 8bitdo controlller to get into options. Then choose emulators that start with "lr-" example: "lr-snes9x-next"

Ok the only "lr" emulator I'm using is the lr-fceumm which works fine with the controller. When SNESx9 was working it was playing fine with the controller too.

I'm a lil confused about what happened today. For some reason after trying all the above I tried to update/install snesx9 and it did not give me a choice to use binary so I tried source and it said the appropriate files were missing. So I tried to uninstall it and got the same message.

So now I started with a fresh Jessie install with Retropie and try again.

Which drivers are we supposed to be using? The PS drivers knock out my wifi so I've been using Xbox drivers. I don't know any thing about the other two.

I can confirm this today - fresh install of Retropie, paired successfully with the FC30 Pro running 1.69 firmware. UDev script setup to run in background mode, Retropie runs off the controller fine. Tried using PCX, Neogeo and PC Engine emulators, no luck - the dpad works, but no buttons.

I'll give firmware 1.68 a go, and I'll try out the adjusted button assignments from above.

TheGecko

OK - Firmware 1.68 installed, and everything appears to be working now. I had to remove the controller in the bluetooth menu, then re-pair it. Reboot of retropie, and it all appears good now.

I also powered down/up the controller after the firmware downgrade, just to be sure.

Why are my posts all in code squares ?

Because you used a four space indent which can be used for code blocks. http://commonmark.org/help/
