Xbox One controller analog sticks not working in game - milanrang - 11-05-2018
Hello everyone,
I'm having a blast revisiting old times by using emulators on my PC in combination with a new Xbox One controller I bought specifically for that purpose. I played N64 using Project64 without any problems at all. Now I've decided to revisit some GameCube games using the Dolphin Emulator. Everything seems to be in order, my laptop seems to be able to handle everything, except for one major issue.
When ingame, the input I give via the Xbox One controller's analog sticks is not processed. All the other buttons seem to work fine. It is only the analog sticks that cease to function (both of them). I am pretty sure I have set up the controller in the correct way. In the Dolphin controller setup menu the analog input is properly received (using the analog stick while mapping buttons works properly, and any movement I make with the controller's analog stick is represented in the corresponding diagram below).
This was all in version 5.0. After alot of research I decided to upgrade to the latest version of Dolphin, which happens to be 5.0-8993 as of right now. To my great joy, the analog sticks did seem to work in game this time! However, my happiness was short lived, as after progressing through a few ingame menu's the same old problem resurfaced again! Even stranger so, if I would return to a previous stage in the ingame menu (by pressing B), the analog sticks worked again! To illustrate the problem I will explain using Super Monkey Ball, see the attachments. As far as I can see, the same problem follows the same weird progression in other games. At least in Tales in Symphonia, where, similarly, an early menu allows use of analog sticks, and later they aren't usable anymore. In both games the analog sticks are useless as soon as I get to actual gameplay.
Screenshot to visualize problem
My specs are as follows:
Operating System: Windows 10 x64
Processor / CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4710HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz 2.50 GHz
Video Card / GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M
Memory / RAM: 16,0 GB (Unknown brand)
Dolphin Version: 5.0-8993
I've included a screenshot of my controller configuration in the attachments. I must add that I think its unlikely that there is something wrong with the controller itself, it worked perfectly fine with Project64. I've already tried using all my USB ports. Besides, the controller does show input in the controller configuration window.

I would be so extremely thankful if anyone can help me resolve this issue. My nostalgia is burning like hell and this problem is getting really frustrating, I've tried everything I could to no avail.
Kind regards,
milanrang

Do you have any other games to test?

Ok, so far I've tested it with four games.
Both Super Monkey Ball and Tales of Symphonia show that the analog sticks work in early menu's as I've explained before. In both, as soon as I go any deeper in the menu's or reach actual gameplay, are unplayable because the control stick doesn't work anymore.
Additionally, I've tested Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door and Zelda: Twilight Princess. In both these games the control stick does not work at all.
While the analog stick doesnt work in these games (at whatever point), all other buttons do work. So the problem seems to be isolated around the analog stick for sure.
If you want me to test more games I will, but so far 4 games all show the same problem.

Ok,
I simply downloaded Dolphin 3.5 and I am able to play my games now normally. So far everything seems to be working fine, I hope I dont run into too much trouble later on. I basically tried every stable version, the same problem surfaced everytime until I used 3.5, now I'm content because all I really care about is playing the games. So it seems to be some random bug in the newer versions of Dolphin.

You will actually run into a whole pack of problems in 3.5. And just a friendly reminder: old builds and stable versions are no supported on the forums. If you find any other problem while using 3.5 you will be (literally) on your own.

Ok, welll...
Since nobody seems to be able to help me at all, I don't seem to have much of a choice, do I?

Check your controller config when they stop working and see if they still work there (i.e. the red dot moves).

Hi. I seem to be having the same issue. When playing PJ's King Kong at the beginning you have to look up. My sticks wont look up. They work in the gamepad setup where I can move them around and see the little reticule and they work fine in every other game I played, but not this one.
Here's a link to my config.

By the way I too am using the xb1 gamepad on a powerbook like the OP.
Any thoughts would help

Well, in my case it was the right stick that needed to be adjusted by 100 radius. Yours is the left stick. Find the sweet spot and see if it works. It did for me.
