A way to assign 2 real controller buttons to 1 emulated Wii button simultaneously? - messiahgov - 04-15-2012

Hello all,

for Wii I'm trying to assign the D-Pad twice with buttons from my controller, so I can use the real D-Pad and the right Stick to change the camera for Xenoblade Chronicles. It's not possible through the GUI, but maybe directly inside the "WiimoteNew.ini"?

Here the important lines I tried so far (Hat = real D-Pad, Axis Z = real right Stick):

1.) Here Dolphin only use the first four values and ignores the Axis values.
Code:
...
D-Pad/Up = Hat 0 N
D-Pad/Down = Hat 0 S
D-Pad/Left = Hat 0 W
D-Pad/Right = Hat 0 E
D-Pad/Up = Axis Z-
D-Pad/Down = Axis Z+
D-Pad/Left = Axis Zr-
D-Pad/Right = Axis Zr+
...

and

2.) This will make both unusable.
Code:
...
D-Pad/Up = Hat 0 N;Axis Z-
D-Pad/Down = Hat 0 S;Axis Z+
D-Pad/Left = Hat 0 W;Axis Zr-
D-Pad/Right = Hat 0 E;Axis Zr+
...

Is there any way to assign multiple real controller buttons to the same emulated buttons?

I would appreciate any help on this topic and thanks in advance for an answer!

Maybe try setting both of them to keyboard buttons with Xpadder, and then setting those keyboard buttons to what you want in dolphin. You may have to check "enable background input" for this to work, but you may not.

you can set two buttons from the dolphin gui

right click on the button that you want to change ie D-Pad Up.
Configure Control will open. Choose the first button press Select, choose the second button, press | OR

I forgot that, which is odd, as I have set it up.

Thanks, that works!

I had no clue about those advanced options. Camera movement is much smoother with a stick and the d-pad for menu navigation. =)
