Some buttons won't work on Xbox controller

05-07-2013, 02:47 AM #1

Hello,

I'm currently playing Mario Kart Wii and the following happend: I start up Dolphin and configure a Xbox controller as Gcpad (like this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QR3N6dzzl6I). After this I started Mario Kart Wii and played for a while, but didn't notice that I can't drift. Now I noticed that I can't drift, I've tried every button but the character won't hop/drift. Does anyone has a solution? Am I forgetting something? Also the button for throwing a shell (or something else) behind you doesn't work or I didn't find it.

Thanks in advance

Drifting manually won't be possible unless you chose Manual before starting the race (protip: don't use it, it'll just make your times worse unless you're a pro at drifting). Hopping is either impossible or I never found the button for it (might require manual?), and throwing stuff behind you is done by holding Down on the control stick and pressing Y.

Pro-er tip: DO use it, as automatic drifting is within 5% of not drifting at all. Just start to drift as you start turning. If it's a long corner, wiggle the steering to the left and right until you get sparks, then release for a turbo dash. Otherwise, stop drifting when you're pointing in the correct direction.
