PS4 Controller on Android won't save bindings

[Researchpurposes]

I bought a new phone yesterday (Samsung S21) and connected a PS4 controller to it via bluetooth. It works fine with all emulators except for Dolphin.

Here is the best way I can describe the issue: by default (i.e. before binding the controls), the PS4's left stick controls the nunchuck's analog stick, pressing the PS4's right stick lunges the Wiitmote forward, and no other buttons work at all. After binding the controls - binding B to triangle, A to square, and so on - nothing changes. None of the PS4's buttons work and the only function is moving with the analog stick and lunging the Wiimote forward by pressing the right one. Aside from these two functions, the controller is useless, even after configuring the bindings. I have tinkered with all the settings and used all kinds of configurations (yes, I even tried using the guitar setting), but nothing works. The PS4 controller is effectively an Atari controller and nothing changes this.

Anyone have any advice on how to fix this? What might be wrong here? I am specifically trying to use the PS4 controller as a simulated Wiimote/Nunchuck (not a classic controller), with the intention of using the right analog stick to swing.

Which version of Dolphin are you using?

Many old gamepads do not work with new emulators (Dolphin, Citra etc).
If you assign the input to volume keys and open the config in the dolphin-emu folder, you'll see a 64-bit hash for the button ID.
Dolphin is a 64-bit app and it does not support 32-bit instructions, so it ignores physical buttons (including buttons on connected gamepads and tablet keyboards) with 32-bit hashes.

That is complete nonsense.

I guess so but I mean...it SHOULD work, I suppose. Works with PPSSPP just fine.

I have the same problem. It is impossible to bind shake, swing and tilt. I have tried to copy the log from other profiles to see if it works but it doesn't. Whatever that is mapped will go back to the default binding. Some gamepad, like 8bitdo n30 pro 2 cannot be mapped for wii remote+ nunchuk at all. The default binding of controller maps the nunchuck to the right joystick where the normal wii remote motion is mapped to the left. This makes the gameplay for zelda skyward sword supper difficult.
