On the software side, the project was divided into four parts: You can download my configuration file below.The main goal of the RetroPie project was to bring retro gaming abilities to the Raspberry Piīuilding RetroPie was a work on two dimensions: software and hardware I will show you the easy way of linking it by simply giving you my configuration that you can FTP over to the RetroPie or copying and pasting my configuration into RetroPie’s configuration folder. This can be tricky with the NES30 controller because RetroPie detects the NES30 controller D-Pad as the keyboard and the other buttons are detected as the 8BitDo NES30 Joypad. Since your controller is now linked and connected to RetroPie we will need to configure the inputs.

Basically we will need to configure which button corresponds to what so that RetroPie can recognize our inputs. The next step is to map the controller with RetroArch which runs in the background and allows us to control the games and Emulation Station. You have successfully linked your 8BitDo controller with the RetroPie over Bluetooth. Reboot your Raspberry Pi for the configuration above to take effect. This will allow our controller to work Emulation Station after we restart the Raspberry Pi. Go to the “Set up udev rule for Joypad” option and hit OK. You should now be back to the RetroPie Bluetooth Setup menu. Your controller’s blue power light should now be solid and not blink. That should be it, your controller is now linked with RetroPie. If you get a “Enter Pin” screen simply enter “0000” for the Pin. Start up RetroPie and and hit F4 to exit the RetroPie interface and run the following line in the command line:Ĭhoose your controller and hit OK, then choose “DisplayYesNo” at the next screen I included the configuration files below if you want to set it up faster and avoid manually setting up the controller. You will need a keyboard connected to your Raspberry Pi to setup the controller if you plan on manually configuring it. I am using RetroPie 4.0 in this tutorial.

Instructions: I will assume you are starting with a fresh install of RetroPie.

I saw many people having issues with this so I decided to write this tutorial about the workaround I discovered on how to get the 8BitDo NES30 controller working on RetroPie. The controller setup screen kept reading my D-Pad inputs as a Keyboard and not a Game-pad. I was having one minor issue setting up my 8BitDo NES30 controller, the D-Pad would not work and not be recognized by RetroPie. 8BitDo makes some high quality retro controllers which are easy to setup and you can use them to play games on your computer or phone over bluetooth. I picked up the 8BitDo NES30 wireless Bluetooth controller after reading many reviews about it.

I would usually play with the keyboard but recently used my Raspberry Pi to install Kodi and RetroPie together and I wanted to use a wireless Bluetooth controller to get the full gaming experience. I have used RetroPie before to play old games on the Raspberry Pi and I highly recommend it. About: With all the recent talk about the NES Classic console I really wanted to play some Super Mario again and relive those childhood moments of trying to save the princess.
