SNES-Optik, aber mit zwei Analogsticks, extra Schultertasten und Bluetooth – der 8BitDo SN30 Pro will Retro-Charme und Switch-2-Tauglichkeit unter einen Hut bringen. Ich hab die transparent grüne Version an die Switch 2 gehängt und sowohl alte 2D-Perlen als auch moderne Titel mit doppeltem Stick-Bedarf durchgespielt. Wie sich das schlägt, gibt's hier: https://techkrams.de/go/KUZpht

Okay fedi, I need help using my 8bitdo Ultimate C wired gaming controller on my desktop.
I recall doing some fiddling a few years ago and I got it to work with Mint. I don't remember what I did. A month ago I tried using it again on Debian and it didn't work. I have now switched to Void, where it also doesn't work.
Google and DDG results are dominated by discussion of connecting wireless controllers over Bluetooth. Many of them say things like "as a fallback, you can plug your controller in through a USB port and it will work automatically." Except...it doesn't work. My controller is wired only (I don't think it supports bluetooth at all).
So, let's start with the first test. If I plug my controller into my phone, running stock Android, it works automatically with no configuration required. I tested it with the Android version of @[email protected] . So I know the controller itself is not broken.
According to the official instruction manual, when plugging it in to a Raspberry Pi, you must hold 'B' until the controller's light turns on and stays on (not blinking). I do this when plugging it in to my computer. Here's what lsusb shows.lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:082d Logitech, Inc. HD Pro Webcam C920 Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 004 Device 002: ID 04d9:1702 Holtek Semiconductor, Inc. Keyboard LKS02 Bus 004 Device 003: ID 2357:0120 TP-Link Archer T2U PLUS [RTL8821AU] Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 006 Device 002: ID 0461:4d0f Primax Electronics, Ltd HP Optical Mouse Bus 006 Device 003: ID 2dc8:3017 8BitDo Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
So my computer is able to find the controller. However, it doesn't work, even on games I know it previously worked on when I was on Mint (such as SuperTux).
In Plasma's system settings, the "game controllers" tab saysNo game controllers found
Steam likewise does not recognize that I have a controller plugged in.
8bitdo's website promotes a firmware "upgrade tool." I will start by saying I highly doubt it would help me, because
my controller ran with my system several years ago without any firmware updates.
Despite my skepticism, I gave it a try anyway. The firmware updater is only for Windows and MacOS, so I tried to run the Windows version in Wine, and I was unsuccessful. I don't know anything about configuring Wine, so I have no idea if there's a way to make it work.
I also looked to see if 8bitdo makes a firmware updater Android app. They do...but only for wireless controllers.
So what can I do to get my controller working on my desktop?
#TechHelp #GameControllers #8bitdo #VoidLinux
EDIT: SOLVED by @[email protected]
The steps are
1) Installsteam-udev-rules
2) Reboot
3) When plugging the controller in, hold "X" instead of "B" (this is directly contrary to what the instruction manual says).
Thank you everyone who chimed in! -

Dos años con la #SteamDeck y ahora me doy cuenta que el atajo al acceso rápido (...) en #SteamOS (modo juego) con mandos externos es Home y botón A. En el #8bitdo es el botón central tipo #XBOX que se ilumina. Esto me pasa por no leer ni lo básico, je je.

#cachyos #linux: #steam is running pretty well on my #lenovo #thinkpad T480. Big picture mode on. #8bitdo controller connected via USB. Tried some games (2D). This is very nice.
The laptop offers Thunderbolt 3 connectivity. In theory, I could connect an EGPU for more #gaming power. But I think it's not necessary for the moment. I am happy that Linux works right out of the gate just fine. It's Arch Linux, and it's known for not being too beginner-friendly. Well, I am a beginner ... ;-) -

And now for something completely different: The #C64 mini in black😎
I got it because it is black and the hdmi output can be 50Hz (Retropie on Raspi gives you 60Hz for PAL games🥸)👍
Well, wireless Keyboard on a hub worked right away and running games from USB storage worked too.
TheJoystick is... not so bad but... worse than a Competition Pro!
My #Arcadestick comes with enough buttons to open menus, create Savestates, all from buttons on the joystick, the wireless keyboard is only for more complicated games.
But first none of my Controllers via USB worked 😞
Then I tested with an #8bitdo BT receiver.
You have to force it with Select/-/View + Right in an Apple OS mode to make it work on a C64 mini🥸
Also connect it to USB before power on🤙Now I am wireless happy with the little black one 😎
Next step: How to create CJM files to map Dpad Up on a button🕹

So I refined those button caps I made a while back a bit more, and uploaded them to thingiverse. Anyone with an 8bitdo Pro 3 and a 3D printer, have fun! https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7366453

8BitDo 64 Bluetooth Controller Review
The Nintendo 64 controller has always been a talking point, for good and bad. For its time, it was a radical departure from what was out there, and people made all sorts of fun about how to hold it. And quickly, we released games that needed another stick. Now, all these years later, everyone is used to two sticks, but trying to play Nintendo 64 games on th

8BitDo Pro3 is a honestly bad controller if you need to d-pad. You have to precisely press left/right otherwise it triggers also down or up. Thats so frustrating.
