"To remap the D-pad on your 8BitDo Zero (or Zero 2) controller to function as an analog stick, hold Select + D-Pad Left for 5 seconds. The LED will blink red to confirm the D-pad is now emulating the left analog stick. [1, 2]
To map the D-pad for different functions or reset it, use these button combinations: [1, 2, 3]
- Left Analog Stick: Press and hold Select + D-Pad Left for 5 seconds.
- Right Analog Stick: Press and hold Select + D-Pad Right for 5 seconds.
- Reset to Default D-Pad: Press and hold Select + D-Pad Up for 5 seconds. [1, 2]
Note: The LED will flash red when a successful map has been set. You must manually reset the D-pad back to normal using the up combination if you want to switch back. [1]Are you trying to map this controller for a specific game, emulator, or device (like a PC, Switch, or iOS device)? I can help with further remapping steps if needed."
FWIW, I was having this same issue last night with my Shanwan Q36 (very similar in concept) and used their method, afterwards analogs worked perfectly via the D-pad (of course as pure on / off inputs)
*P.S. This seems to be the page Google AI is quoting https://forums.ankiweb.
Edit: all that ranting aside (yet some more....), I personally prefer a controller with analogs even if a tiny bit less pocketable. The IINE Retro Pocket Wireless Game Controller is currently my go to for pocket controllers, especially because the sticks are recessed. So far works with my retro handhelds, windows laptop, and android tablet. The AceGamer Wireless Pocket Controller is also really cool but felt a little lower quality vs the iine (the AceGamer doesn't have inline triggers so that was a slight plus). Both are a little lower quality than the 8bitdo's but they can both be purchased for roughly $10-ish on AliExpress if you know how to use their coupon page. $15+ if you just buy via normal AE methods. *The coin page is a bear, take a bit of research to use it properly...
For lack of analogs; the Shanwan Q36 is pretty fantastic for the price, as is the iine Ananke. Honestly, I think the Ananke is better than the 8Bitdo Zero, especially the gen 2 (gen 1 still available and CHEAPER if you don't need gyro, media controller, mouse functions) for the price and features.
