Run 8BitDo Ultimate Software V2 under Linux
Raw
gistfile1.txt
In this guide i will teach you how to run 8BitDo Ultimate software v2 under Linux
Some people tried running it under clear wine and failed, i found out the issue, you need tts-ms-win10
https://github.com/streetsamurai00mi/ttf-ms-win10 All you have to do is follow installation guide on this repo
After you successfully launched your software, you have to map udev rules
At first, type lsusb. It will list your usb devices. Find your device there. I am using keyboard as an example
Bus 003 Device 013: ID 2dc8:5200 8BitDo 8BitDo Retro Keyboard
Do the same for wireless usb dongle
Now, we have to create the rule. I am using Kate as an example
kate /etc/udev/rules.d/99-8bitdo.rules
Input your rules there, here`s an example
SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2dc8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5200", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2dc8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5201", MODE="0666"
idvendor is the first line in bold text, idproduct is second
5200 is my keyboard, 5201 is usb dongle
Now, reload udev rules and your done
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
sudo udevadm trigger
