USB controllers not working in any games?

07-14-2018, 01:11 PM #1

Hello people!
I've used Dolphin on my PC for a while and it's been pretty legit, but I recently got a new phone (Galaxy S9+) and wondered how well it could run Dolphin. The answer; probably pretty well, but I can't get through the menu of any games, because controllers don't seem to work.

Yes, I know about all that controller configuration stuff. I have every wiimote and gamecube controller set to disabled except wiimote 1, which is set to emulated. All of the buttons / axis I would like to use seem to have mapped correctly, and everything definitely saves. I'm mainly trying to use my wireless Xbox 360 Controller, but the Logitech F310 also doesn't seem to work. However, Android recognizes the controllers, as I can play other apps with them and even scroll around the Dolphin menu with them Tongue

As far as I've tested, this problem has existed in the latest Dolphin releases for at least the past week. I haven't tried old versions of Dolphin, but I can if needed.

So, any idea why Dolphin isn't using my controller in-game? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Im also experiencing this issue. Games tested were Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Other M. My phone is a Galaxy S8 with Qualcomm chip, not exenos. Would also like to add that Bluetooth controllers don't work either.

USB controllers haven't been working on dolphin with Android for a while now.

No, I tested playing games with my Logitech F310 just a week ago and it worked well. The native GC adapter support is broken, though.

Almost Same here.

Emulated gamecube controller works well on Wii games that support it, but the wimote emulated control doesn't work. I map buttons but nothing happens during the game.

I tried with an Ipega and the Samsung controller.

Try again with a build of at least 5.0-8500, a fix for emulated wiimotes was pulled in.

This is probably the problem. However, all versions above the 8500 are crashing after inserting the game directory mapping.
