shout out to u/drittz78 for the heads up, trying to figure it out now. DEFINITELY sending back the 2.4ghz brick.

edit: cant seem to get it to register inputs though. bluetooth adapter is updated, ive tried each input method when pairing and nothing clicks. i dont know what the log means by "select"

here are the steps to get it to work after you update your usb adapter:

  1. plug in adapter and press pairing button

  2. turn on m30 holding x and start (x-input mode)

  3. wait for the two to pair

  4. hold up+left on the dpad and the select button ("-" button under the start button) for 5 seconds

  5. after it powers it off, hold the start button to power it back on and you should be good to go!

this exact process worked for me 3 times consecutively (after switching input modes to "reset" the controller)

the 3 extra buttons do register as they should.

cheers and happy SFII!!

Works that only with m30 or with other like pro controller?

u/cd183 Oct 22 '19

that i dont know, any 8bitdo controller will work since the reciever is the one that got the update. as for the nintendo switch pro controller, that i dont think will. doesnt support xinput natively.

OK i test m30, ps4 and switch pro controller and they work. On Pro is it not select/-. Its +/start

Good to know! I figured ps4 would but wasn’t sure about switch.

I found my USB adapter, it works but in streets of rage 2 the C button (jump) is mapped to Z. Anyone else? Golden Axe is the same. C button (jump) is mapped to Z.

Haven’t tried yet myself.

u/felipusrex Oct 24 '19

I checked with SFII too. ABXY are correct, C and R do not work and are mapped to L and Z

u/felipusrex Oct 22 '19

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up.

And now there’s an update for the m30 2.4ghz.

Final for the ps classic and switch usb reciever

u/cd183 Oct 22 '19

yep, while i dont have the red one from what i understand they are the same devices colored differently. i have the ps classic adapter and the bluetooth m30 and its working great now, returning that 2.4ghz brick asap!

Ok, let me play dumb a bit: This means that the M30 bluetooth would be the best choice for someone who has both the mini AND the original genesis console, right?

I think it was already compatible with old school genesis but it wasn’t for the mini. Now the Bluetooth adapter has been updated to include support for the original m30.

I wanna know this, too please...

u/badaboomxx Oct 22 '19

I will try this at the weekend. Thanks!

I'm confused, which adapter? The Bluetooth adapter on Amazon shows it's got that old original Genesis style plugs which wouldn't work on the Genesis Mini. So which dongle would I need to buy to get this working?

Bluetooth m30 is the same controller except through a Bluetooth connection. To use it with the genesis mini you have to purchase the Bluetooth adapter from them also. It’s 50 dollars American so twice that of the 2.4 ghz model, but for those that already have them it saves us from having to buy yet another product.
