Flatpak updates

Install 8B from its signed Flatpak remote to get every new release through flatpak update or your software centre:
flatpak install --user https://lucaspicoli.github.io/8B/io.github.LucasPicoli._8B.flatpakref

The .flatpak bundles below still install, but they don't receive updates. If you installed one before, uninstall it and install from the remote.

Changes

  • 8B now edits the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless over its cable, in the XInput and DInput modes: buttons, sticks, triggers, vibration, motion sensor, lights and macros. Profiles import and export as JSON, as on the Pro 3.
  • The window draws the Ultimate 2 Wireless in its own views, and a light ring segment takes a colour from a swatch popup.

Known limits of the Ultimate 2 Wireless

These hold on firmware 1.10. The window checks also passed on firmware 1.08, but the limits below were not measured there.

  • The pad serves only the mode its switch is in. Switch modes on the controller to edit the other one.
  • In DInput profile 3, the firmware erases macro 2 by itself when the pad starts up in DInput. The vendor app's macros are lost the same way. 8B can't prevent it, so it warns on that macro row.
  • In DInput profile 3, macro 1 holds at most 307 steps. A longer macro 1 overlaps flash the firmware uses, and the firmware erases it at the next DInput start-up. 8B refuses a longer macro 1 there before it writes anything.
  • Every other macro holds up to 406 steps.
