Modified INI keeps getting overwritten - phane - 10-05-2021

I'm trying to play Metroid: Other M and the only way to get it to work properly that I know if involves This XBOX 360 Config which relies on a particular line:

Code:
Tilt/Forward = !`Trigger R`

The ! (NOT) in Android's Dolphin seems to work even though there's no way to put it in through the in-game configuration.  I can put that in using a text editor and it works... for a while.  However, Dolphin at some point will inevitably 'correct' this config and overwrite it without the ! and then the config breaks.  It sometimes does it at load time and sometimes at some point while playing the game, but it always seems to overwrite it.

I know of no way to write protect the ini without rooting my phone and I don't want to go that route.

The controller system on Android right now is a big hack that doesn't properly support things like this (and that overwrites config files whenever it feels like it, like you've observed).

Sorry to hear that.  Guess I have to drag my gaming laptop or my Wii U around to catch up before Metroid Dread Sad
