Full Version: [Feature Request] Per Game Controller Selection
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Please consider adding a feature that you can have per game controller settings, maybe as and option when you right click on the game, then you can set it there. So that if your controllers are set up, that you can choose that when this game launches it should automatically switch to for instance the classic controller, or the switch to the wii mote and nunchuck. So that you don't have to manually go into the settings each time and change to what controller you want to use.

thats a good idea
You can do this with ini editing (though I think this should be in the UI)

"Choosing Control Profiles per game:
First you should have a control profile saved for each gamecube controller or Wiimote. For example lets say you have created Wiimote profiles named "Sideways1" up to "Sideways4" for Wii games that use the sideways wiimote handling(donkey kong, kirby games, etc.). In order to load those profiles per game you should put:
[Controls]
WiimoteProfile1 = Sideways1 => You can put any profile name you want to put here instead. This loads wiimote profile for player 1.
WiimoteProfile2 = Sideways2 => You can put any profile name you want to put here instead. This loads wiimote profile for player 2.
WiimoteProfile3 = Sideways3 => You can put any profile name you want to put here instead. This loads wiimote profile for player 3.
WiimoteProfile4 = Sideways4 => You can put any profile name you want to put here instead. This loads wiimote profile for player 4.

For gamecube controller profiles you should put:
[Controls]
PadProfile1 = Your profile name here. This loads gcpad profile for player 1.
PadProfile2 = Your profile name here. This loads gcpad profile for player 2.
PadProfile3 = Your profile name here. This loads gcpad profile for player 3.
PadProfile4 = Your profile name here. This loads gcpad profile for player 4."
