A plugin that allows you to connect an 8BitDo Pro 2 controller to the Vita.

Description

Basically just X1Vita but with 8bitdo vid, pid, & mappings.

Compatible 8bitdo controllers: Arcade Stick, Lite, Pro, Pro+, Pro 2, & Zero 2.

Enable the plugin:

1. Add 8BitVita.skprx to taiHEN's config (ux0:/tai/config.txt) or (ur0:/tai/config.txt): <pre">*KERNEL ux0:tai/8BitVita.skprx
2. You need to refresh the config.txt by rebooting or through VitaShell.

Using it for the first time (pairing the controller):

1. Go to Settings -> Devices -> Bluetooth Devices
2. Turn on the controller in x-input mode, typically Start + X on most 8bitdo models (Except the Arcade Stick, Lite, and Pro 2).
3. Put the controller into pairing mode by holding the Select button on most 8bitdo models (Unless it has a dedicated pairing button like the Arcade Stick, Lite, Pro, Pro+, and Pro 2), the led will blink rapidly or a pattern will begin flashing on the led's.
4. Select the controller name in the Bluetooth devices list, the controller will then connect and be paired (You may get a message saying "Do you want to connect?" press ok).

Using it once paired (see above):

1. Just turn on the controller in x-input mode and it will connect to the Vita.

Note

This plugin is compatible with minivitaTV ;) If you are using multiple controllers the controller ports will be set in the order you connect (if available), so first connection -> port 1 second connection -> port 2 (Maximum of two controllers can be used simultaneously).
