Firmware for 8Bitdo controllers
NOTE: sometime in 2020, 8BitDo stopped providing downloadable firmware files and switched to an opaque API.
Some information is provided at https://ladis.cloud/blog/posts/firmware-update-8bitdo.html and firmware files
can now be downloaded using 8bitdo-firmware.py
.
The .dat
files can be applied using the ebitdo-tool
binary in fwupd, or the
generated .cab
files can be installed using gnome-software
or fwupdmgr
.
Note: Make sure the GamePad battery is NOT empty before flashing.
