OK I got the 8bitdo NES30 working. It works in "GamePad Joystick" mode (turn on with Start+R firmware v2.5 and up)

@steve1977 They are all bluetooth. The also work as usb gamepads. I tried with retroplayer openelec build and couldn't get them working. The gamepad was found via bluetooth and connected but pressing buttons threw some errors in log.

I'm interested in using a 8bitdo controller with Openelec. But as I don't own one I don't really want to buy one until someone confirms they work with Openelec

I'm no expert but I wondered if this might fix your issue http://libretro.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2347&page=3 && http://forum.8bitdo.com/forum.php?mod=vi...75#pid1837

Seems other distros needed a udev rule created. I guess you could try adding the correct rule to /storage/.config/udev.rules.d

As I said above I have no idea if this will work for you, so try at your own risk. It you do get it working can you let us know.
