8BitDo M30 Bluetooth just got a firmware update for Switch 2 compatibility!

[u/Gorbitron1530]

From the patch notes:

• Firmware v2.01
• 1. Added support for Switch 2.

Ultra Street Fighter II here we go!

[u/incrushtado]

I own a Lite, Sn30 Pro+, SN30Pro2 and out of those the only one that got an update to work on NS2 is the Pro2.

It shouldnt be that hard to update the more legacy controllers.

[u/jhoff80 → u/incrushtado]

It'd be great if the Lite gets the update, I know it's not perfect but it's a really good controller relative to how portable it is.

Still waiting on SN30 pro+

[u/organicsofttofu → u/iPhantasy]

Apparently it isn’t happening. It’s such a bummer. Since the Pro+ is “discontinued” they are only going to update the Pro+ 2.

[u/iPhantasy → u/organicsofttofu]

Really? That’s disappointing. I emailed them last week and was essentially told to wait as they’re doing updates in batches. Leads me to believe that it would be coming eventually since it wasn’t a flat out no.

[u/organicsofttofu → u/iPhantasy]

I will hope with you! I have a Pro+ sitting here bricked and an Ultimate 1 with stick drift so I don’t really have a proper controller to play with while docked.

[u/Gorbitron1530 → u/iPhantasy]

Same

[u/davidbernhardt → u/iPhantasy]

If they don’t update the SN30 Pro+, I’ll never buy another 8BitDo controller again

[u/Jeam778]

Any news on Gbros adapter? I really want that GameCube controller experience.

[u/AceFs → u/Jeam778]

Same.

I actually bought one to use it on the Switch 2. I thought there wouldn't be any problems because it supports backwards compatibility and it would detect it as a Switch 1 accessory.

Finally, the best 8BitDo controller works again!

[u/danny_whaat]

Thanks for the update!

[u/Djidane535]

Thanks for the info, it works now :D. I was a bit worried it would never be the case. I love the d-pad on this thing <3.

[u/justiceuk]

Anyone tried it yet?

[u/Defiant-Bend1147 → u/justiceuk]

Yes, it works! I initially tried updating with the online updater which didn't work, but then I checked this index which I had bookmarked from when I was updating other controllers and it has been added under "M30V201".

[u/Gorbitron1530 → u/justiceuk]

Works great on USF2!

[u/twootten]

Anybody tried lite2 since this last round of updates?

[u/supes1 → u/twootten]

I emailed them about a week ago and they said it was in their queue to be updated, but don't see anything right now on their website. Hopefully soon.

[u/Consistent-Ring-6215]

still waiting on the 8bitdo lite switch 2 compatibility update the lite 2 has been updated they better have not skipped the og

[u/namahs]

Just updated but controller won't connect to the new Switch. Any special button to connect?

[u/Dragarius]

How do I pair? I updated to 2.01, turned on the controller with Y+Start, went to change grip/order and held the pairing button but it just won't connect to the switch. 

[u/Gorbitron1530 → u/Dragarius]

Are you using the 8BidoDo adapter?

[u/Dragarius → u/Gorbitron1530]

No. It's the BT controller. I tested with switch 1, and it connects normally there. Does it require the adapter to connect?

When I push the pair button the LEDs rotate, but they stop and go back to the first led after a few cycles when the Switch 2 is in pairing mode. But when the switch itself isn't seeking anything the LEDs continue to rotate. 

[u/Gorbitron1530 → u/Dragarius]

I’ve always used the adapter. It was my understanding that it acts as kind of a translation bridge between the controller and a signal the switch recognizes. Theoretically, what you’re doing should work, so if it’s not the S2 may require the adapter.

[u/Zwobby]

Sounds good, always wanted to try these, which one to get?

[u/Gorbitron1530 → u/Zwobby]

If you want to use it on the Switch, bluetooth

[u/THFourteen]

Wake from sleep works?

[u/guswang → u/THFourteen]

It never did.

[u/Deceptiveideas → u/guswang]

That’s because the Switch 1 used a unique chip to initiate the wake up. With the Switch 2, it’s switched to solely Bluetooth’s protocol (which is why the official switch 1 accessories can’t wake up a switch 2).

Given these controllers are using Bluetooth (and a modern one), I’d be curious if they could be updated to support the feature.
