8bitdo upgrade tool

[agreedSkiing]

Anyone gotten the 8bitdo upgrade tool working with bottles (https://support.8bitdo.com/firmware-updater.html)?

Keep getting a font error and that is after I installed all the font dependencies

Using sys-win10

I don't know if I'm late but I went through this too.

I found this github : https://github.com/mrbvrz/segoe-ui-linux.
It helped installing the missing font.

But then I had a VMI missing. Well, I tried to install it through installing dotnet48.
It did get further but not enough and still missed VMI (or at least not correctly implemented…).

I got these errors :

Progress!

So... I found these guides that would be worth a try if you wan't to help. Haven't gotten around myself

• https://gist.github.com/archeYR/d687de5e484ce7b45d6a94415a04f3dc

Right this isn't a guide for wine... but still linking https://github.com/floe/8bitdo-firmware/tree/master

So I gave this a try again, and noticed that on my system bottles does or might be wine does not pass the controller as a 8bitDo controller to the wine instance when running sys-wine-11.0 (i did give the flatpak full access to all my devices just to be sure)

Right forgot to mention I tried this with the 8BitDo Ultimate Software and the v2 version of the same software.
