fwupdmgr won't let me update the firmware on my controller because the GUIDs don't match. Perhaps mine is a newer hardware revision?

The given firmware file expects the following GUIDs:

  Guid:                 b3850dd5-a010-5d5c-8834-2ff809e95869
  Guid:                 269b3121-097b-50d8-b9ba-d1f64f9cd241

Can you get the "fwupd --vebose" log showing the controller being inserted please? Thanks.

Is this what you mean? It's essentially the same as my original post. It doesn't seem that --verbose adds anything besides the Emitting ::device-added... line.

I'm also having this same problem with my SN30 Pro.

After some quick searching, it turns out there are at least 5 products from 8bitdo labeled "SN30 Pro". This is the exact one that I gave the output of. Note the direction of "start" and "select" are different than the other 4 versions that I found, though still seems official. https://www.amazon.com/8Bitdo-SN30-Controller-Windows-macOS-Android/dp/B0748S1VDC/ref=sr_1_3?crid=13IAU1KJRKMCR&keywords=sn30%2Bpro&qid=1579758251&s=videogames&sprefix=sn30%2Bpr%2Cvideogames%2C199&sr=1-3&th=1

EDIT: Necro posted. Didn't check the dates as this was still marked open.

Try using DInput mode instead (start + b)
