M30 face buttons

syborfical

I have a8bitdo M30 2.4ghz not the blu tooth pad.
So there is no switch mode etc..

Is there away I can get all 6 face buttons working?
so mortal Kombat 2 and 3 are just like the arcade?

Thanks

syborfical I have a8bitdo M30 2.4ghz not the blu tooth pad.

syborfical That “a” indicates one controller.

Anyway, what happens when you run evtest and press the buttons in question?

Atari

aren’t they all just digital buttons? Should be as easy as mapping them correctly, if I’m not mistaken. What’s the issue you’re having?

Atari Cannot map or not sure how to map all 6 face buttons..
can only map 4 of them…

Atari

hm, and the adapter is just a standard USB receiver, correct? Not sure why that wouldn’t be working.
Could you run evtest and see what events are being triggered on that controller?

You can either use a cable ..
or the 2.4ghz adaptor works the same as the cable

evtest through ssh?

All the buttons work eg on mame you press hot key start and can bind the buttons how I want them eg MK2
x - HP
y - Run
Z - HK

A - LP
B - Block
C - LK

for some reason there is no way to say hey I have 2 extra buttons on the face unless you assign them to L and R

Its close but so frustrating all at once

Atari

syborfical yes through ssh, so we can see what’s happening (why ES can’t see them)

It’s coming up as two controllers? Now that’s strange. So what happens when you press the buttons in question?

For future reference, you can put log output in a codeblock, alternatively upload it as a text file so as not to clog up the thread.

Like this.

Atari I have 2 plugged in…

Hello. I have this controller and I have no issues.

What I did is:

configure the controller in Batocera as a SNES pad (4 face buttons), but then
Assign [M30 Z] as [Batocera L] and [M30 C] as [Batocera R], and
Assign [M30 L] and [M30 R] as [Batocera L2] and [Batocera R2]

And that’s it.

Then you just have to remap the core or the game according to that configuration.
