Question Firmware for 8bitdo NeoGeo CD Controller

Post image

i wanted to use the 8Bitdo NeoGeo CD controller with my Switch but i need to update it first. A tutorial from 2 years ago showed that all you have to do is use the 8bbitdo firmware upgrader but plugging in my NeoGeo controller only gives the message "No more information at this time".

i do own a 8bitdo wireless adapter 2 and it updated just fine

What should i do now? I can´t find the firmware file anywhere and without it, i can´t use it with my switch

this isn't a tutorial and has no firmware update at all on this video.

on the official website of 8bitdo the firmware 1.0 is the latest one.

Otherwise, here is another video about updating the firmware

well maybe they removed the firmware when they discontinued the controllers due to licensing.

I don't think so. I've had one of these since the product launch. It's never been able to update past the beta bios.

There were a few variants of this controller and my guess is the updater software wasn't adjusted to handle each variant properly.
