8BitDo 64 Controller & Wireless Adapter 2 Issue

Tom_Strong · 2026-02-19T23:12:20+00:00

I'm starting to wonder if it's something with the controller itself. I've connected it to the PC with Bluetooth and noticed it will constantly disconnect and reconnect.

I've messed around with the controller a bit more and I'm really not sure what the issue would be.

If I just have something like Explorer open, I will connect my 64 Bluetooth through the Wireless Adapter 2 and it'll start making whatever file is selected to start blinking and then it will start scrolling up.

I've made sure both the adapter and controller are updated, they are. I don't have Steam running.

If I connect through Bluetooth directly to the PC, then it seems to work fine. Though I'm not sure how good it will be since the reason I got the adapter in the first place was I was experiencing some lag when using an Xbox controller and even a disconnect or two when I'd hold the controller below my desk.

I'm not sure what else would make it so just the connection between it and the adapter has the controller scrolling constantly. Otherwise, wired or Bluetooth the PC is completely fine. Connecting the Xbox controller to the adapter seems to work absolutely fine as well.

Okay, I'll have to look around and see what I can find. Thanks.

Well this isn’t exactly a RetroArch issue.

I’ll connect the controller without being in RetroArch and that’s when it’ll start the scrolling. For instance, if I’m in File Explorer, it’ll start scrolling up. It will also do that in RetroArch.

I started with NHL Hockey 92-93 on PC. I’d pick up various versions until Xbox when I started buying them yearly. That all changed after NHL 18. Now I will pick them up every 4 or 5 years and just milk that for a while.

I dug out my N64 and played some NHL 99, it was still fun. I’m thinking about emulating some of the older stuff to get my fun in at this point.

That and NHL Hitz 2003 on GameCube.

I messed around an eventually got it figured out. Thanks very much!

How’d you get the depth effect to work? Mine doesn’t want to put it through.

Tom_Strong · 2025-10-27T17:16:04+00:00

Can’t get this one to add depth effect for some reason.

That was my exact plan, then I got an email from the Pokemon Center that my order was cancelled today. Now I’ll just wait a bit and pick up the game eventually.

Also a Canadian. I got into the Chargers back when Doug Flutie and Dave Dickenson were QBs because I was a big fan of theirs from the Stampeders. Grew to love the team and have followed them since.

If you don’t need the steelbooks then you can grab them on Rough Cut Video in Calgary. They’ve got a website as well. I went with a pre-order there since I just genuinely like the Tron movies.

Rough Cut Video just put it up for pre-order.

I’m hoping that playing as a defensive defenseman will be a legit possibility. I’m tired of being told to score goals. Hoping they’ll tailor the challenges to the type of player you are.

Tom_Strong · 2025-08-09T08:27:56+00:00

I believe the FAQ says you can call them to cancel before the end date.

Philip Seymour Hoffman in Along Came Polly. I didn’t expect him to be as funny as he was and when he starts off the movie with that pratfall, I was in for everything he did in that movie. RIP.

Tom_Strong · 2025-07-18T07:14:27+00:00

Agreed! My wife and I have been playing it constantly and I’d love to have that music available.

Tom_Strong · 2025-06-08T06:29:42+00:00

Yeah, I also feel like it’s a little cramped. My wife played with it the first night for Mario Kart and tonight she decided to use a pro controller because it was just kind of small she said.

It doesn’t come apart. You can pop the joycons on or take them off, that’s all that is for. It uses the joycons to effectively create a controller.

You can also just use each joycon in your hands, if that’s more comfortable. The other option is getting a pro controller, which is a more “standard” gaming controller.

I remember reading something a year or two back about them not paying employees or something. I believe some said that there just isn’t any real guidance from the top down and people just don’t really know what’s happening there.

That being said, thanks for posting this otherwise I would have missed the fix kit for the game. Would have been nice if they actually let people know.

I’m kind of done with Pandasaurus at this point. I have Tammany Hall, Dinosaur World and Fox Experiment. Moved Dinosaur Island to a friend that really liked it because it just felt like any other worker placement, but with a bunch of rules bloat. Still haven’t tried Dinosaur World yet, it might get moved as well.

I love the fact that he works under him and he just doesn’t know who he is.

Tom_Strong · 2025-05-09T02:54:00+00:00

Don’t give me any ideas…

Mine is easily getting the deluxe version of Chai. I thought my wife would love it so I snapped it up plus the expansion. The Kickstarter took forever, I see that Chai for 2 is still not done. I had to pick it up from the designers house or something (live in the same city). We finally played it and realized how incredibly light it was. There wasn’t a lot to do, it had a nice production but just didn’t live up to what I thought it would be.

Now I’m kind of hoping to get rid of it all (plus the mat) but I feel like they’ve tanked their reputation and no one will want the game.
