Issues with 8bitdo USB dongle / adapter

[fh1105]

Hello!

I'm having trouble with my current setup:

RPi 3B+
Recalbox 8.0.2 Electron
2x 8BitDo SN30 Pro wireless
2x 8BitDo USB adapter

I can successfully pair the SN30s to the adapters (one to each of them), but Recalbox has a hard time recognizing the USB adapters. Sometimes, it will recognize them as "8bitdo adapter", sometimes as "XBox 360 controller", regardless of what mode I wake the SN30s up to. I tried with Start+X and Start+B, but both are not really working well. Currently, my best guess is to physically disconnect the USB adapters, reconnect them and then hope. But maybe there's a better solution?

Thank you!

@fh1105 I had the same issue, I had to manually change the dongle to d-input mode (not the same as setting the controller to d-input mode), no issues after doing that.

@fh1105 Hello
Please note you have to press the B or X button before you press Start.
If you press Start + B or Start + X at the same time, there are chances your gamepad detects the Start button first and won't take the B/X button in account.
Pressing only Start turns on the gamepad but activate the last configured mode.
