Hi

Just wanted to find out if there is a way to enable the vibration feedback through Amiberry 3.3 on my 8bitdo Pro 2 controller
The vibration works fine in Windows as I have tested.
I cannot seem to get it to work in retropie or Amiberry.
I have tried the retroarch quick menu and could not see enable vibration (as I 've seen suggested)
I have also tried changing the controller to retropie with analog in the retroarch menu.

Controller works fine just the vibration feedback.
Any help appreciated

regards

Jimi

Hey, not an expert, but I tried to set up rumble on an SN30 Pro recently. You might need to be in x-input mode, if you're not already, and on the Pro there's a button combo to turn on rumble on the controller - maybe check the manual to see if the Pro 2 has something similar.

On the Pro, x-input would lead to the triggers not being recognized, so I ended up leaving it in d-input anyway without rumble. Just out of curiosity, what Amiga games are you trying to play with vibration?

The Pro 2 has an x-input mode which is Windows , d-input , Switch mode and mac mode.
The x-input does have vibration when I test it in Windows.
In retropie I was having an issue with connecting to the controller through bluetooth so I reimaged retropie. I then set the controller up through switch mode as it was mentioned this connects better in retropie.
I will try and connect it in x-input mode and see how that goes. Hopefully I don't need to reimage retropie again :)

So far I have tried Paradroid 90 , Speedball 2 and Pinball Dreams. No vibration on any

@jimi007 Ok, so, I was an OG Amiga user. I had a 500, 2000, and a 3000. Amiga was made long before any console has force feedback of any kind. So, why would there be any vibration response in any Amiga game ever?

I guess I am trying to figure out why you are expecting vibration from a system that never had it. It just seems on par with expecting stereo surround sound from an Atari 2600.
