8BitDo N30 Pro - iOS
Posted on:
sourceTL;DR Download firmware, flash (power+pair), connect, map
Wanted to use the Delta emulator from AltStore on my iPhone and had an old 8BitDo N30 Pro controller lying around.
This turned into a bit of a journey to get it to work:
- Figured out I needed to downgrade the firmware of the controller to v2.0
- Download the legacy firmware from the 8BitDo Support page
- Hold the power and pair butons for 3-4 seconds then let go to allow the controler to enter firmware update mode
- Update the firmware using the downloaded app (should only take 30seconds)
- Find the old manual telling you to turn it on using Power + B
- Connect via bluetooth
- Map the controls (Settings > Controllers > Keyboard > x)
Enjoy!
Moving forward I hope they offer iOS13 support, there seems to be a lot of communication with the 8BitDo guys on the subreddit but I wouldn't hold my breath
