Just Got an 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller, What Now?

The immediate goal is to use it on my potato pc and play Batman Arkham Asylum.

Using the 2.4ghz adapter immediately detected the controller and the game recognized it as well so I could play on the get go.

However, I wanted to try the bluetooth mode which I had trouble with.

And I wanted to try using the back buttons (like mapping it to A so I can use it for sprinting while moving the camera).

  1. Do I need to download a software? update firmware?

  2. What games would you recommend to take advantage of my new controller (note: I have a potato pc, so probably indie games? or retro games on emulators). I wanted to try Armored Core 3 on PS2 but my PC either couldn’t handle it or PCSX2 isn’t too compatible for that game.

In response to your header: Play games with it. :P

I wouldn’t recommend Bluetooth as a first choice for connectivity, is there any reason you don’t want to use the included wireless adapter?

As for games, I have no idea what you like/don’t like. How potato of a PC are you using? FWIW some lower spec games I’ve played in the past several years with a controller included Cat Quest I and II, as well as the two South Park RPGs. There are also some fun co-op games like Overcooked, Moving Out and Unrailed. Overcooked really spawned a bunch of frantic co-op games that are low-spec and controller-friendly, so you can check that genre out as wlel.
