Just Got an 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller, What Now? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Just Got an 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller, What Now?

The immediate goal is to use it on my potato pc and play Batman Arkham Asylum.

Using the 2.4ghz adapter immediately detected the controller and the game recognized it as well so I could play on the get go.

However, I wanted to try the bluetooth mode which I had trouble with.

And I wanted to try using the back buttons (like mapping it to A so I can use it for sprinting while moving the camera).

  1. Do I need to download a software? update firmware?

  2. What games would you recommend to take advantage of my new controller (note: I have a potato pc, so probably indie games? or retro games on emulators). I wanted to try Armored Core 3 on PS2 but my PC either couldn't handle it or PCSX2 isn't too compatible for that game.

Interesting. My interaction with them wasn't really helpful. Not for this issue, but I raised an issue that the macro function doesn't allow you to replay certain buttons (like '+'), which limits it's usefulness. I reached out to them and they said they'll pass the info back to the team and never heard from them again. I bought this controller specifically for the macro feature (and specifically for being able to replay '+'), and without that functionality, the controller is completely useless for me. I already own a Switch Pro controller and I prefer it's ergonomics/shape much more over the 8bitdo.
