8bitdo M30 Gamepad

The game does not want to recongize my bluetooth game controller from 8bitdo. Any suggestions?

You should easily be ale to fix this one as it's one of the simpler problems out there for this game.

1) Open the Steam client.

2) Make sure you're in the Library pane so you can view your game list.

3) Right click the Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night entry and select Properties....

4) In the General tab, look for the line Steam input per-game. Click the pulldown menu for that entry and select Forced On.

Close the window and then launch the game by your preferred means. You should now be able to configure your controller. Doing it this way allows you to force the controller to be detected for this game but leave your other games untouched so you don't ruin their configurations.

Let us know how it goes for you! :)

I didn't go that route, I just used my trusty old joy2key program, only to realize this game isn't designed well for a retro style controller, and I switched to my ugly and uncomfortable to xbox controller(iew). Really disappointed by this too. Poor controller scheme design

How is it not well suited for the M30? You can configure the controls as you see fit, mapping any combat aspect to any button. The biggest problem you'll likely face with an all digital controller is that the fighting game controller input sequences (like down, down-forward, forward + attack) is the directional pad being only so-so for that kind of input. Having the analog sticks really helps there.

But in terms of configuration that controller should work OK, if a bit on the awkward side with the map/menu button placements.

Wasn't sure what the 8Bitdo M30 is, but googling it shows a Mega Drive/Genesis styled controller with no Analogue stick. That means you cannot aim to activate some switches or use direction shards.

Good point. Thanks for reminding me about that. :)
