Can't get Series X contriller to control in game but UI ok.

I Cant seem to get my controller to control gamecube games. Ive followed numerous tutorials without success. I'm running my S20note Ultra in Dex Desktop mode. It connects fine via bluetooth to my xbox series x controller. I then map the buttons within dolphin with no issues I can use the controlller to navigate around the Dolphin UI, But when the game (Mario doubledash) launches none of my mappings work. the B button on the controller backs me out to the in game menu but thats the only the thing the controller does. It plays compatible android games like real racing 3 with no issues so it must be something im not doing right in dolphin.

Thanks in advance

I have the exact same problem. I'm on an LG G8X phone with a Gamesir X2 2021 controller.
I can map the buttons just fine and it even shows up as gamesir x2 button xx when configured. I can control the UI perfectly but when I get in game the only button that does anything is B and it only shows the menu.
The controller works fine in other emus/games so it's not broke, and I also have an ipega 9025 (bluetooth) that works fine.

Have you managed to find a solution for it?

Hah! I didn't have any game specific settins but if I go ahead and create some it works for the specific game! Not really a fix but a workaround.
Does anybody know if there's somewhere we can report this? May help find a bug

I have this exact same problem. Samsung S10, wired Xbox One, or Bluetooth Xbox One S controllers. The controllers work fine every where else. All i can do in game is hit 'B' to open some side menu.

Really disappointed and have wasted hours troubleshooting.
