Constantly have to refresh Device Input - Gnupung - 06-03-2013
I've been using Dolphin for a while now and it's working great, except for 2 things:
* Every time i start a game, i have to go to the GCPAD options and "refresh" my input device, even tho it's already selected, which is very weird. Doing this for all 4 controllers when swtiching games is a pain, especially since the drop down menu is very unfriendly if you're on a Mac. Is there a fix for this? I'm using some shit china-imported PS2 USB-controllers (which btw, works very well).
* If I assign my left analog stick to the Main stick and my right analog stick to the C-stick, whenever i touch the left analog stick (main stick) the C-stick also recognizes input. I guess it could just be my shit controllers, but it feels strange since everything else is working perfectly. Ideas?
This is what my GCPAD config looks like:

Yes

I don't have either of these problems with my Wii Remote/Classic Controller connected via WJoy. Your crappy Chinese pads are probably just that crappy.

I'll bet on that too

It's just that it registers input perfectly in SNES/N64 emulators and also in other programs such as Gamepad Companion and Joystick Mapper. Is there any way to get any of these 2 programs to work with dolphin? That would solve my problem for sure.
Lets say i have for example mapped the X-button to keyboard input "L", then i can write "L" by pressing the X-button, but dolphin does not register that input (all other programs do).

I also have the problem where I have to refresh the device input every time I start a new game, and I'm also using a crappy cheap controller. I also have the c-stick issues, although my controller has some kind of toggle where one setting causes it to work, and the other setting causes it to map some weird keys to the right analog stick. I'll be buying a 360 controller ASAP.
