      Hello, this seems to be an issue I have encountered several times on the internet.
      I bought an 8BitDo m30 Bluetooth for playing Mega Drive games that require 6 buttons like Mortal Kombat 3.
      The problem is that I've followed every tutorial and forum topic I found and still can't map X, Y and Z. This has been driving me nuts for weeks.
      Can someone please help me mapping everything correctly?

      Thank you for your time and patience.

        In which mode are you using the controller?

        I had some trouble configuring mine with a couple of buttons when it was in X-input mode (X + Start when turning on the controller). Some of buttons were showing up as analog axes instead of button presses. I solved it by changing the mode to either Switch mode (Y + Start) or D-input (B + Start) and re-configuring the controller.

        I think part of the problem is EmulationStation doesn't want you to use an Axis when configuring certain buttons. Not sure if this could be fixed in the auto configuration. I believe you could manually edit the controller config to get around that though.
