Hello all,
I've been at this for two days now. Googling, YTbing, trying various fixes of every kind that I can look up. I've been unable to get any controller to be recognized in Dolphin. My gamepad is seen in my device manager, and all my Steam games work perfectly with it. I've been attempting to use my Dualshock4 through BT running through DS4Windows, and also without. I've tried wired and wireless, and I've tried my old wired Xbox controller. I've attempted every single setting in Dolphin I can see in the controller config to no avail. Dolphin simply refuses to see it no matter what I try.
Pardon my snideness, but at this point, my impatience and frustration is quickly coming to a head. I don't understand why Dolphin has such trouble recognizing such a rudimentary thing as a simple controller interface when my entire system and every other program has no issue with it. I shouldn't have to go into drivers or backend this through Steam (as I've seen some solutions suggest) to get it to work. From what I'm seeing, this is not an uncommon problem and has been something that has plagued numerous Dolphin builds for years now. The only game I can get running is Prime Trilogy with PrimeHackRelease using the M/KB, which is a whole new experience and hard to fathom how it could've been played any other way, but it'd be wonderful to be able to play games that benefit better from a gamepad (Galaxies). Dolphin just will not see it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm at the end of my rope and am out of options. Thanks folks.
