Does anybody else have an issue with the 8bitdo controllers? I need help.

forums.linuxmint.com /viewtopic.php

I posted this on the Linux mint forums a while ago, but no traffic on the post and it's driving me crazy.

Problem: I can connect the controllers just fine via Bluetooth, but yuzu and dolphin don't recognize them unless I've deleted them from blueman and freshly re-paired them. More details abd system info in the forum post, but this is the gist. Does anybody have any insight? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • Not a Linux user but I had a lot of problems with the sn30 pro plus connecting to bluetooth when I first got it. The issue was something in the controller bios. It'd cause my entire system to spaz out. I had to roll back to the first version to fix it. So maybe try messing around with bios versions if you can to see if that fixes it.

    • This is certainly an angle worth checking out. Is it easy enough to roll back the firmware?

      • Very, but you'll need a windows environment to do it. They only have windows or mac updaters. After that, it's just plugging it in and picking the version. Looks like there's only 2 updates, but it's still worth a shot.

        • Good to know. My PC is a dual boot with Windows 11, so no problems there. Thank you for the advice, I'll be sure to update after I give it a shot.
