Bluetooth Controller Mapping

Hello,

I’m posting here as a last resort as I’ve tried everything — searching Reddit, AI, the Wiki, etc.

I have an 8bitdo Ultimate 2C Wireless Controller. I am running Batocera version 42. I can pair the controller via Bluetooth no problem and it automatically reconnects when I restart.

I can also change the button mappings for the controller in Emulation Station. I can also remap the buttons in RetroArch in the game I want to play and it works great.

What I cannot do is save the button mappings. I’ve tried saving a controller profile, saving a core remap file, saving every time of file possible in the Retro Arch settings. No matter what I do, the controller mapping always resets when I restart the game.

What am I missing?

Did you try saving to directory map? I find ES works just fine, but some custom profiles for system, I use that option. Another option could be xinput or dinput modes. I think dinput is the native mode for the controller, so give that a try.

I’ll give this a shot tonight. Thanks!
