64 Bluetooth Controller

The 8BitDO 64 controller is amazing on iPad using Delta. I highly recommend it, and to update the firmware as soon as you get it.

With the 8bitdo 64 controller you can swap buttons, but you have to do it every time you boot up the game and it doesn't do stick inversion. I do hope they expand on this in later updates though. Considering the controller can save "controller pak" data you'd think it could store a little button map

S-Mode is “Switch mode”. Think of it as a controller that speaks Nintendo Switch. Any Switch only controller is “S-Mode” only. D-Mode is Direct Input, a standard used by a lot of devices (just not the Switch). NSO 64 (for Nintendo Switch Online) is only S-Mode (or Switch only). Up until A3D firmware

I have two of the 8Bitdo 64 controllers and it's a known problem because of the way they're programmed. Load up any game where C-L&R or C-U&D need to be pressed to do something. For example in Doom 64 after completing a level you have to press press C-L&R to save. It's simply not possible.

So, today I received the brand new gray model with the red, blue, green, and yellow colored buttons. I can confirm that Rumble works on a Steam Deck(Linux), in desktop mode (didn't try gaming mode), while playing the Rosalie’s Mupen GUI emulator. The controller was set to set to the "S" mode on the

I figured it out! The 8bitdo 64 controller needs to be in X-input mode. Since wirelessly it only does S and D input, I used an 8bitdo USB adapter, connected via S-input (not D, I know, confusing!), remapped the controls, and now it works! Probably better with 2.4 GHz vs Bluetooth with lower latency

Despite the fact that they were sold as a paired duo, the 8bitdo 64 Bluetooth controllers don't work with the 3d out of the box. Instead, there's a card indicating that you need to update the console firmware and the controller firmware. Annoying, but OK fair enough. Just need to update the firmware

So, no DIY Modkit for N64 controller update? It still doesn’t work right for Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub Zero, Cruis’n USA, and Doom 64? I checked and mine would not update. It also still shows the C-buttons as axes, so you can’t press opposing directions. I did update 4x 8BitDo 64 BT controllers

The 8bitdo controllers are great..... with one caveat in my opinion. On the 8bitdo 64 controller, your left index finger will be on the Z-L button almost all the time and your right index finger will be on the R button almost all the time. Meaning your left index finger has to sit a bit further back
