Hello, all! I wasn't sure if this belonged in the Android section or Support section, so please forgive me if it is misplaced.
A little background before my question: I am trying to run the Android version of Dolphin on my Pixel Slate (Chrome OS tablet) and it is actually running very well with good FPS, but I cannot get my Bluetooth controller to work ingame. I am using a GameSir-G4S and it works great in other emulators and I can map all the buttons in Dolphin controller settings. Once I load a game, however, it won't recognize any inputs.
My real question: I suspect the real problem here is not with the controller or Dolphin or even the device itself, necessarily, but with a setting contained in the three-dot menu in Dolphin during emulation. The problem is that I can't access that menu because it requires swiping down from the top of the screen and that gesture in Chrome OS opens the Overview/multitasking menu. Whenever I switch the orientation of the device (with Lock to landscape turned off) I can briefly see this menu pop up, but cannot access it (I try to tap it as quick as I can but it doesn't register.) I have also tried enabling a flag in Chrome OS which forces the device into clamshell mode, disabling the Overview gesture, but swiping from the top only shows the window controls (minimize, close, etc.) Is there any other way of accessing this three-dot menu, or any way to map it to a button (even on a Bluetooth keyboard, since I am quickly running out of buttons on the controller)?
My setup: I am running the i5, 8gb RAM Pixel Slate, Chrome OS 71 (Beta channel), Android 9, Dolphin 5.0-9186 (current Play Store version; trying to sideload the latest dev build on this site results in "App not installed" error.)
I would love to be able to run this great emulator on this device, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
