FROM https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/zmvkdj/8bitdo_ultimate_bluetooth_controller_working_in/

I've bought this new controller from 8BitDo and wished to use on linux, to my sadness the controller didn't work out of the box, neither by cable, the 2.4G dongle or bluetooth.

So I've tried a number of solutions and this one from u/GodOfEmus over in the 8bitdo community was the one to work for me:

Most of the source comes from: Steam Beta Forum

Thank you so much to everyone in the forum for contributing, for reaching out to 8BitDo to request switching between XInput/DInput/Switch mode on the dongle, to Valve for adding support on DInput mode, to the SDL developers (and 8bitdo) for adding support on DInput mode, and finally, to the Linux kernel developers for adding support on XInput mode.

This gist summarizes everything from that forum.

	#!/bin/bash

	if [ -z "$1" ]; then
	echo "Usage: $0 ISO\|CUE"
	echo " Converts input file to same-name CHD"
	exit
	fi

	if ! [ -x "$(which chdman)" ]; then
	echo "ERROR: Need chdman. Install mame-tools."
