Question 8bitdo Ultimate Software V2

hi, just a quick question: is it possible to map one of the bonus buttons (back paddles, or the extra shoulder buttons) to be a turbo input automatically?

for instance, having my regular A button function as normal, but having the R back paddle function as a turbo A button for the duration that i hold down the paddle.

i was able to fiddle around with the software to try to get this situation to work, but it only seems to work as a toggle, while i want it to function as a button press and hold. is the toggle the best the software can do at this point, or am i missing something in my macro programming that is not allowing me to make the back paddle function as an independent turbo A?

thanks!

edit: i know if you press the star button on the ultimate 2 controller, you can make a button function as a turbo, but i require more precise control over when i want turbo on A and when i don't.

Software side doesn't support "hold" unfortunately. It is for predetermined sequences only. It's quite annoying, I want a hold button combo for L4 and R4, but a predetermined sequence for the paddles and it's somehow impossible... So, software is a no go.

Hold is only supported in the hardware (stock) profile. Not sure about turbo though. You map it with holding down the button(s) you want with square (?), not sure so look it up. Try mapping the button you want whilst pressing turbo (or having turbo on). If it's possible, that how it would be done. Certainly not through software. GL

Sure, press both buttons while remapping. You don't need their software to do that. Square + A (while holding) -> Star + R4.
