XBox Controller behaving funny.

[avengerostrich]

It's rather odd, and I don't understand why it's happening. I've done my homework, done some research; but haven't found anything about it for two days straight, so I gave up.

The thing is, I have the XBox controller's Left Stick as the GameCube analog stick; then the pad as the pad, and the right stick as the C-stick.
The first few hours it worked fine.

Then, for no discernible reason, it started to behave oddly; for instance, I was unable to taunt anymore in SMB: Melee; instead my character would jump. I went to the mapping; and for whatever reason, the left stick and pad of the Xbox controller had both mapped themselves to the GC Analog stick. Trying to change this was impossible; the input of both the things were recognized as exactly the same thing by the GCPad interface.

Since not that many GC games use the pad; I decided to leave it alone; but then the problem grew worse. For whatever reason, randomly; the C-stick stopped working as such and instead decided to become a double to the Buttons ABXY. Again, going to the interface to fix it was impossible. The C stick was mapped to the Z Axis, but moving the right stick up was only recognized as pressing Y when trying to remap.

Now I'm unable to play any game that uses the C-stick, and that IS a problem. Is there any way to fix this?

How old is the Xbox 360 controller and how much use has it endured? Also try an Xbox One controller. It should work because it also interfaces the same way as the Xbox 360 controller (XInput API).

It has around 3 days. I bought it specifically for the purpose of using it for Dolphin.
Thanks for the answer. I already figured out the problem on my own, though. Apparently, the control scheme changes a lot depending on whether you press the big button on the middle or not. You can tell if it's pressed thanks to the LED on it.

I never had to press the button to get it to work. I just plug and play. The 1-LED auto turns on.
