8B: Controller profile manager for 8BitDo released in version 0.2.1

8B has been released in version v0.2.1.

The Rust-based tool creates and edits controller profiles for 8BitDo devices (currently the 8BitDo Pro 3) directly over USB on Linux, including button mapping, sticks, triggers and macros.

The new version brings changes to the Flatpak, which now receives automatic updates via a signed remote.

Flatpak updates

Install 8B from its signed Flatpak remote to get every new release through flatpak update or your software centre: flatpak install --user https://lucaspicoli.github.io/8B/io.github.LucasPicoli._8B.flatpakref

The .flatpak bundles below still install, but they don’t receive updates. If you installed one before, uninstall it and install from the remote.

Changes

  • The Flatpak no longer requests --device=dri separately, since --device=all already covers it.
  • The app description and screenshots in software centres now match the README.
