Hey all, just got the 8BitDo Ultimate Wireless 2 and just wondering how I can update the firmware? I had a look around and not sure if the updater works under wine, I had a go but didn't seem to recognise that it was plugged in.

Any advice? I primarily got this to use with my desktop and Steam Deck - maybe the Deck can update the firmware?

Edit: had to use a windows VM, pass-through the USB, then update that way. Gyro and all the buttons are recognised on the Steam Deck.

Does that work to update the firmware? Not mentioned on the android store

It does not, sorry.

I was gonna say fwupd thing, but that doesn't see my joystick at all.

Apparently they stopped supporting that a few years ago :(
