ermac_0 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Does a 8BitDo controller work with RetroArch? I can use the controller with other systems but none that use retroarch. Can I use emulators not going through retroarch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 8bitdo controllers work fine in Retroarch. Are you using it in X-input mode? 1 hour ago, ermac_0 said: Can I use emulators not going through retroarch? You can use any emulator you want.

moudrost Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 I have the N30, M30, and SN30 Pro+. All 3 work fine. I was running into some issues with those playing nicely with my Xbox One controller and decided to setup separate installs of Retroarch for each controller type so I could more easily manage customizations. I'm sure there are more correct ways to manage that, however it worked best in my situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ermac_0 Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 How do I get it to X-input mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moudrost Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Depends on the controller but I'd check here: https://support.8bitdo.com/ Usually you hold X while turning the controller on, but some of them have a physical switch. I believe all mine came in that mode already and didn't have to change a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
