Will 8BitDo controllers ever be supported? - GeorgeDiachenko - 01-03-2024

Hello there!
I wanted to use my 8BitDo Pro 2 controller with RPCS3, but found out that wash't the case... Which kinda sucks, because I don't have my PS3 controller (or the console, only disks) and my PS4 one almost doesn't work. Does anybody have any information on future compatibility? Thanks a lot!

We don't have to do any specific work to support controllers that follow input standards such as that one, the controller supports XInput which we already support, so it already works.
If you use Linux, then it will work through evdev.

According to the product page, it has a "mode switch button", so you have to set it to XInput mode, same as required for any other native PC game.
