I’ve never had issues with the 8bitdo Controllers on rpi, Bluetooth or wired, but I found a thread where others solved the same problem. Looks like that particular controller isn’t perfectly.suported and you need to update xpad and a configuration file.

I got it working. I wasn’t expecting it to be as simple as pasting 2 lines of code into a config file. Still not sure why emulationstation doesn’t see them, but at least retroarch does now.
Plus I fixed my issue of emulators not saving. I am SO excited with what I’m building. Every game from my childhood on one machine. Arcade, NES, SNES, Master System, Genesis, N64, PS1, Dreamcast.
It’s all here. I turn on one machine, and it’s all here! 14 year old me is screaming into a pillow. 41 year old me wants to scream into a pillow, but is responsible enough to not want to wake up the neighbors.
No, seriously…I am legit screaming at what this is.

On Linux, that’s usually the case. Finding the config file is the problem. I suspect that’s why emulation Station isn’t working. I don’t know where that’s installed, but I’d assume there’s another configuration file for ES. It’s probably in the home directory, ~. maybe ~/.emulation_station or or ~/.ES. I don’t recall, but there will be a file structure similar to the RetroArch tree.
In either case, it would be very kind to post the full solution for the next person.
