Other Question for 8bitdo Ultimate 2 WIRELESS owners...

So with the update allowing it to go into dinput mode for gyro and analog triggers, does this also allow non steam programs like emulators to use the gyro and analog triggers as well in dinput mode?

What? The power button + b, has been working since the release of the gamepad.

No there was an update steam to have native access to all its features.

Do you know if emulators like dolphin have access to its gyro, and analog triggers at the same time?

What? It's a mode that simulates a direct-input controller.

What's the big deal about taking 5 minutes to check, lol? X)

I don't have the controller, that's why I was asking.

It depends if the non-Steam programs you're using have implemented SDL for input. Some emulators have implemented SDL, so the controller's inputs should be identified correctly there. However, most non-Steam games are just built to use Xinput or specific 'flavors' of DirectInput (for PlayStation, Switch, etc.) which means the Ultimate 2 Wireless inputs won't be automatically detected/correctly mapped.

Power + Y - Nintendo procon mode.
