You are 101% right - I didn’t think about it at all. I see that there are other people on the forum with this issue, and there were a few reddit threads I saw as well.
For 8BitDo Zero2 there’s a solution however. Zero2 does NOT work with “8BitDo Ultimate” software used to remap their controllers. However, there’s a way to switch the D-Pad mode:
- Turn on the controller in X-Input mode (
X + Start) - Press & hold combo until red led starts blinking:
Select + D-Pad Up=> d-pad is in joystick hat mode (i.e. digital d-pad)Select + D-Pad Left=> d-pad emulates left analog joystickSelect + D-Pad Right=> d-pad emulates right analog joystickSelect + D-Pad Down=> swap A/B and X/Y… which is also actually needed so the labels in Anki match real buttons
