trying to emulate stuff but i can't bind any keys because a bunch of the buttons on the switch pro controller send a bunch of inputs the emulator is picking up that i'm definitely not making myself. this is a new controller and doesn't do anything like this when i've plugged it in to my actual switch dock

i've tried the hori pro controller as well but that has a different issue, in that it piggybacks most of its inputs off keyboard inputs for some reason? and of course start is automapped to escape which forcecloses the emulator

odd ruin trying to emulate stuff but i can't bind any keys because a bunch of the buttons...

which emulator are you using? do you mind sharing a screenshot of the controls settings

odd ruin Apr 30, 2024, 1:22 AM

#

pcsx2

#

getting around to god hand finally

#

#

this is the controller test window

#

not pressing anything on the controller but buttons 0-7 flicker on and off constantly

#

if i try to bind anything it'll immediately bind it to button 0 or 1

#

the way it's supposed to work is that you select the ps2 control you want to bind and then hit the key you want to bind it to

#

what device do you run your emulator on?

odd ruin Apr 30, 2024, 1:25 AM

#

windows 10

#

is there some driver i'm missing

#

i've looked around

unreal bobcat Apr 30, 2024, 1:28 AM

#

wired or bluetooth?

odd ruin Apr 30, 2024, 1:28 AM

#

wired

#

i didn't bother with bluetooth functionality for this pc

unreal bobcat Apr 30, 2024, 1:29 AM

#

weirdly enough i remember something like wired needing an extra driver in this case. let me see if i can find info on that again

#

are you using betterjoy?

odd ruin Apr 30, 2024, 1:32 AM

#

i saw a video that said to install it

#

didn't seem to do anything

unreal bobcat Apr 30, 2024, 1:32 AM

#

well it makes it so your controller is being recognized as an xinput device

#

which i assume the emulator needs

odd ruin Apr 30, 2024, 1:34 AM

#

well i tried it again and there's no effect

#

0-7 are still sending random inputs

unreal bobcat Apr 30, 2024, 1:34 AM

#

mind telling me what you did, just to make sure

odd ruin Apr 30, 2024, 1:35 AM

#

opened betterjoy and got it to recognise the controller

#

hit locate to confirm and it did vibrate

#

restarted pcsx2

#

it's still doing it

#

this is all happening after a full system reboot too

#

could you check out a gamepad tester to see if it's an issue with the emu or the controller

odd ruin Apr 30, 2024, 1:36 AM

#

it's the controller

#

it's spazzing out like crazy on the tester site

unreal bobcat Apr 30, 2024, 1:39 AM

#

if you look under devices, what does windows tell you

#

i mean what controller does it tell you you have

odd ruin Apr 30, 2024, 1:40 AM

#

xbox360

#

the tester sites say this as well

#

although windows settings calls it the pro controller

#

as opposed to control panel

unreal bobcat Apr 30, 2024, 1:43 AM

#

do you have steam open?

odd ruin Apr 30, 2024, 1:43 AM

#

yes

unreal bobcat Apr 30, 2024, 1:46 AM

#

mind trying it with steam closed? i heard of it messing with this kind of stuff before. not sure if there's any truth behind that, but it won't hurt to try

odd ruin Apr 30, 2024, 1:46 AM

#

no effect

unreal bobcat Apr 30, 2024, 1:51 AM

#

it's not very elegant, but can you run the emu through steam?

odd ruin Apr 30, 2024, 1:57 AM

#

still not working

#

now the controller is barely even able to connect to my pc

#

the emulator doesn't even recognise it any more

unreal bobcat Apr 30, 2024, 2:06 AM

#

i think it's literally just windows being dumb with the gyro controls or something. i think playing it through steam could fix your issue, since steam is just better at handling controllers - but i know very little about steam, so i can't really help with specifics there sadly

#

but i think help for that should be relatively easy to find via google

odd ruin Apr 30, 2024, 2:14 AM

#

running it through steam makes things worse somehow

#

it won't even recognise half the buttons on the pad if i run through steam

unreal bobcat Apr 30, 2024, 2:15 AM

#

do you still have betterjoy turned on?

odd ruin Apr 30, 2024, 2:22 AM

#

yeah

#

i've given up

#

i'm just using the hori controller and binding start to a key on my keyboard
