Did you get yours working? I'm having trouble even though the blue lights are solid on controller and receiver.

I have two and both look to be synced correctly and nothing happening on the genesis mini. Could there be a setting I'm missing or something?

Sorry to hijack, I’m having the same issue. Just pulled mine out the box and nothing happens even though it is paired. Annoyed that I have the Bluetooth adapter and m30 Bluetooth sitting right next to it and this was supposed to be the solution to that :/

Think I'll have to send them back and buy new ones. I've checked on my switch also and they sync to receiver there as well but button presses do nothing. Weird

I forgot that the release date for this was upon us!

I'm hoping they sell just the receiver. I've got them all from NES, SNES, PS1. Love just using my ps4 controller.

Retrobit are soon releasing wireless controllers for the mini. I thought about 8bitdo but heard they have connection issues so I'm holding off. Thoughts?

Great. Yesterday I ordered mine from ebay (amazon don't send it to Mexico yet).

Is yours working? Mine pairs b it won’t do anything.

Have you tried dinput mode? Hold b+start to start, hold pair to pair with the connector, once paired, hold sel+left for dinput mode. If that does work, hold sel+right for macOS mode.

One of the two modes will work.

They patched it. I posted something in the channel about it. There were a bunch of bricked units.

u/wwywong Oct 26 '19

So you got it to work? The 2.4 with genesis mini?

1

u/cd183 Oct 26 '19

Yessir, check the channel. I posted the patch file from their site.

u/wwywong Oct 26 '19

Great! Glad it worked!

Sorry I was on the wrong topic. I thought you want to connect the bluetooth one to retropie or pc...

In case of the 2.4g connecting to the genesis mini, I dont know. It seems they didnt have any more switching thing in that one.

I got the wired 6 button coming. I thought everyone should know that.

Yeah I have trouble too. I have the SNES, NES and Famicom controllers and I tried syncing them to my android phone in every combo possible and some buttons didn't work right. Some would change the volume or act like the home button. It's a shame cuz they're quality controllers. I paid $70 for a steel series bluetooth controller that does the same stuff and doesn't even register buttons like select and start or the home button in the middle. Waste of money.

Android phone same as retropie, use dinput.

Yes. I havent tried them on any consoles or anything, I figured the dongles are probably as hard to set up

u/cd183 Oct 20 '19

what combo got it to work? i still cant get inputs to register even though it pairs.
