      Good news! This is what I did to get it to work:

      Backed up my ROMs and BIOS to a local drive
      Re-installed disk image from retropie to my SDCard
      Updated scripts/installed latest packages
      Rebooted
      Followed this guide, I just turned the controller on, didn't need to put it into pairing mode: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/8Bitdo-Controller/

        I also reinstalled retropie from from the latest image on the website. Still the same problem :(

        I'm on firmware 2.70 how about you?

            @denisuu Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first (Best to start a new topic in the future and provide full info about set-up)

            This topic is about another issue.

            You probably have the wrong 8bitdo hack mode - you need to reconfigure after switching it off - did you follow the guide here ? https://retropie.org.uk/docs/8Bitdo-Controller/ ?

              Hi there,

              I do not know if it's the correct topic but I had to install some of

              these files

              into the directory

              /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig/

              to get the controllers working while playing roms.

              My configuration also is

              2* 8bitdo SFC30 controllers
              raspberry pi 3
              retropie 4.1

                @BuZz I did follow that guide it's been posted already the post above mine.

                I did a clean install
                turned off the "8bitdo mapping hack = off "
                paired the SFC30
                udev rule
                rebooted
                setup the controller in ES

                Still when I turn it on it starts scrolling left until I press right.

                  @denisuu does the controller work in games ? That was the issue I was replying about - the issue with it navigating left until a button is pressed is a known kernel issue and affects a lot of controllers - nothing can be done about it in retropie by us automatically - but it's possible to manually fix it, but it requires a kernel recompile.

                    @BuZz Yes it is now, but I will open another topic about that isue.

                    Is there any fool proof tutorial on how to recompile the kernel? Or is that advanced stuff?

                      @denisuu I wouldn't mind that you posted a new thread on how to compile the kernel with this fix.

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