bmonomad Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 hi guys, posted this at dolphin forums. posting this here as it's a little more active here and more likely someone encountered the same problems. My google-fu failed me to find a solution for this Setup: I'm using Dolphin 5.0, with 2 ds4 controllers via ds4windows. I have 3 profiles setup, and each game with it's own profile. The problem: Every time I connect my ds4 controller, it seems to assign a new xinput (between 0 and 3). Because of this, I often have to re-open dolphin, and save the already-existing profile to the current xinput. Otherwise the profile won't read as the .ini is associated to 1 specific xinput. Is there anyway to save multiple xinputs to 1 profile, or other solution? Frustrating to launch a multiplayer wii game from bigbox, only to have to exit, open dolphin, and change both controller profiles. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Does 1 profile not control two controllers automatically? If not, wouldn't creating a Player 1 and Player 2 profile solve this? Load 1 then 2? I wonder if it's DS4Windows causing it. If I recall, it is deprecated now, so updating to a more updated type of software might do it. I personally use InputMapper (I might be confusing DS4W with another piece of software... but I don't think so...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmonomad Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 Hi Brad, Just tried Inputmapper - unfortunately it worked the same, just testing with 1 controller. Would turn it on, disconnect it while dolphin is open, turn it on again and the xinput would be different. ds4windows does have a setting for choosing the xinput port, but for some reason has a minimum amount of 4 ports. 1 profile unfortunately does not control 2 controllers in dolphin. Yea I have individual game configs setup in dolphin so that it loads the correct controller profile for both controllers (i.e. sideways1 and sideways2), but each one is saved to a specific xinput...like say xinput0 and xinput 1. So if I start controller A one day, it might open up at xinput 2, and then no controls work ingame. I must be missing something, because I'm surprised no one has had this issue yet.
