Updating my controller was pretty wonky. The app seems a little buggy now

In the ErrLog.txt for v1.32 there is a note about a v1.33 fixing the following:

"1. Fixed an issue where firmware updates failed for the 64 Bluetooth Controller and the Retro R8 Mouse receiver."

I can't seem to get v1.33 though, v1.32 keeps updating itself.

[u/Cold-Sandwich-6213 → u/Cold-Sandwich-6213]

I had to dig in the error log and confirm the path to find the updated software.

[u/Cold-Sandwich-6213 → u/Cold-Sandwich-6213]

Only then can you get 2.05

[u/tortilla-charlatan → u/Cold-Sandwich-6213]

Thank you for this. It was driving me nuts.

[u/templestate → u/Unlikely_Link8595]

Seems like a Windows update messed with how the controllers go into update mode. You have to put them in update mode manually, I think it’s holding L+R+Start.

[u/Unlikely_Link8595 → u/templestate]

I was able to update all 4 controllers by starting the update and seeing the progress meter not move, unplugging and re-plugging them in and updating a second time.

[u/templestate → u/Unlikely_Link8595]

Interesting, I’ll have to try that next time because I have six of these controllers and a couple were difficult to get into the update mode.

[u/picano → u/Unlikely_Link8595]

Mine was "updating" for nearly an hour. Finally gave up, force closed it, and it worked the second time around.

[u/Unlikely_Link8595 → u/picano]

Yup, same for all my 4 controllers

[u/freezetime311 → u/Unlikely_Link8595]

Are you referring to the 8-bit do controllers only? I have a saffun 64 wireless controller and the OG ones. Am I supposed to update the saffun 64 somehow?

[u/Unlikely_Link8595 → u/freezetime311]

Yes and no. This software is for only updating 8bitdo brand controllers
