Just Got an 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller, What Now?
The immediate goal is to use it on my potato pc and play Batman Arkham Asylum.
Using the 2.4ghz adapter immediately detected the controller and the game recognized it as well so I could play on the get go.
However, I wanted to try the bluetooth mode which I had trouble with.
And I wanted to try using the back buttons (like mapping it to A so I can use it for sprinting while moving the camera).

Do I need to download a software? update firmware?

What games would you recommend to take advantage of my new controller (note: I have a potato pc, so probably indie games? or retro games on emulators). I wanted to try Armored Core 3 on PS2 but my PC either couldn’t handle it or PCSX2 isn’t too compatible for that game.
I have this controller and bluetooth mode works just fine for me on my PC and steam deck, those do run linux but the protocol is the same in windows. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.
It will work with Steam, as Steam itself is able to capture Switch-input, but if you try to use it outside of Steam in a software that expects X-Input it will not work as expected.
I wasn’t able to use it on Android in BT mode either, most games I tried wouldn’t recognize it, but would work fine using a USB-C cable.
