To solve the issue: dowgrade the 8bitdo FW until 1.33.

I am having the same issue, I updated this afternoon and now none of my controllers work. Is there any way to go back to 7.1.1?

@erokx
Hi
With 8bitdo widow's software it's possible to downgrade the firmware.
Try with v4.00.
Sorry about v1.33 from yesterday . I was confused with sn30 pro vs sn30 pro plus.
It was working for me

I ran into this problem earlier today. It seems I had originally paired the controller in Nintendo switch mode by waking it up with [start]+[Y]. I had to re-pair the controller in D-mode by deleting the controller from recalbox, wait for it to go to sleep, put recalbox in pairing mode, then wake it up in D-input mode by pressing [start]+[B] and immediately press the pair button at the top of the controller

Hi, I downgraded the firmware and can get to pair but then the controller still does NOT function during gameplay.
@icntdrv
I have tried all 4 modes with various firmware and sometimes I can get a pairing, but the controller does NOT function during gameplay.
Does anyone have a solution? this is very frustrating!

@erokx can you please try with 'system driver'
Instead of 'automatic'
Please pear your controller with B+START all the tmes

I have the same issue, I tried the system driver, and it partially works, but there are all kinds of errors. Buttons won't map right in game but are right in menu, hot key doesn't work (randomly changes through shaders), and can't exit emulator. This is with SN30 pro+, on system driver, with B+Start (Android pairing mode).

I tried this and I do get a pairing, but with all the issues described by @SkySlicer
PSX games completely unplayable. Any other ideas? Anyone get a fix yet??

@erokx

Try 'reset factory' but you will lost some custum settings

Hi, I reset to factory, still not working. Same issues, it pairs and works in menus, but does not function in game. Have you tried to play any games (psx, megadrive) with the pro+ in 7.2?

[olivierdroid92]

@erokx
Did you remap your contrôler prior to launch a game?

Yes, I reconfigured controller after the successful pairing. Works fine with menus, but not games- some buttons work, others do not depending on the system.

@erokx
Can you please tel me what is you 8bitdo pad full name, FW and configuration with blue driver set with 'system driver' and not 'automatic"

[lhari84]

Same problem here: Controller pairs, but not working on Pi 3 B+. Other BT controllers work.

Some question off-topic: How can I disable system „Ports“ on Recalbox 7.2? Already disabled „show included games“, but Ports will remain. Also when deleting those games from file system...

[erokx]

OK, my 8bitdo SN30 pro+ seems to be working now with an additional step, summary of actions:

1. downgrade firmware to v4.01
2. reset to factory settings (may not have to)
3. change driver from automatic to "system"
4. choose B+Start (Android pairing mode)
5. once paired, config controller
6. Select the SN30 pro+ as controller 1 (and unplug the controller/keyboard used in pairing)
   Once I completed all these steps, it started working. THANK YOU for all the help!!!!
