Have a GameCube controller profile here that allows you to toggle the "Use Item" button, to let you hold items behind you without holding any buttons.
Extra Help:
Put in: C:\Users\(Your User)\AppData\Roaming\Dolphin Emulator\Config\Profiles\GCPad
- On: Pressing L Thumb enables the toggle
- Off: Pressing L Trigger disables the toggle, and also throws/activates items like normally.
- Remaps: Pressing RB wheelies & tricks, LB disables wheelies, R Thumb joystick & pressing can additionally nav. the menu (for fun), X looks behind you.
- Problem: If you have an item toggle-held behind you, and you lose the item (from a shock or something), L Trigger is still toggled. When you want to use a shroom, shock, etc. pressing L Trigger disables the toggle, despite you not holding an item behind you. You have to press L Trigger again to use the new item. If anyone has any ideas for a workaround, it'd be much appreciated.
