Prevent controller from turning OFF

**djneo** · 07-14-2016, 04:26 AM #1

Hi guys,

it is actually quite annoying how is the controller automatically turning off while I make textures.
So I have to preventively push the button to prevent that from happening.

So it would be very handy, if the controller stays always on.

Is there any way to do that right now?
Thanks!

Any actually, I tried ps4, xbox, even keyboard works same way. The game is Nhl2k11 for Wii.
Thanks

If you mean even your keyboard turns off after inactivity... What? Is that some kind of wireless keyboard?

If you mean that the emulated Wiimote turns off, that's just how it works. Dolphin can't decide to not disconnect Wiimotes, because the game does it on its own. Fortunately, if you have a recent enough version of Dolphin (including 5.0), you just have to press any button that's mapped to the emulated Wiimote to make it turn on again. Another possibility is to pause emulation when you switch to working on textures.

Its that emulated Wiimote.
I use classic controller and keyboard like that. I know about the pause option, but then Dolphin won't load modified textures Smile

I know it might sound kinda useless, but when I work on textures you have to constantly switching textures on and off.
Then when you draw textures in other window your controls turns off.

Yeah, so that's probably how it's designed.
