Switch Pro controller

[MrBrac]

I got my switch pro controller connected to my pc through blue tooth. Bigbox cannot detect it all. While Retroarch can as well as if I try to fiddle with Device menu on Bigbox it crashes.

Good to know @MrBrac. Most likely this is the result of non-standard or bad drivers, or something of that nature. What software did you use to connect it up to your machine?

[MrBrac]

Well the thing is the switch pro controller connects to bluetooth with no drivers. I got a simple bt adapter and it connects and work. There are drawbacks I can not turn it off unless I disconnect. As well as IT seems retroarch works fine but a lot other programs can not detect it at all. When I first bought premimum I tried it and saw no response but no crash. I am on latest beta now and I got a lot crashes last night (my pc being jerk imo) But when I tried to mess around controller area it crashed right away. My xbone controller works well with retroarch no issues no crash. Its just that switch controller is a lot more comfortable.

I wonder if 360CE would help you out its a program that makes apps see any controller (supposedly) as xinput

I was trying some programs like that wiinupro should do the trick but software is hardly updated and he has not publicly said it works for the switch. But I heard it did. I will try it tbh I am waiting for my pay to get the mayflash open NS adapter it can make it work as xinput on the fly or dinput.

Ok thanks to that BigBox works now with switch pro. However, demul still wont accept my analog input at all but demul is a pain in the ass. PPSPP did not work before now works. But now retroarch wont work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate retoarch so much.

Just go to input on a keyboard and switch it till your controller works.

So I just run x360ce and close it and then it works for whole time my pc is on until a reset?

@DOS76? never needed to use it personally but I would think it sticks between reboots, although I cant confirm.

[MrBrac]

It does not work for retroarch now lol but works for bigbox the switch controller that is. PPSPP can detect input except analog.

It will work in Retroarch, u just need to specify that controller, ppsspp, I'm not sure on off hand, but remember it works with dinput I think, which is what that pad is.

 

[MrBrac]

How do I do that? Wait I got it now just ppspp not getting Analog.

I don't know how it works I thought you added it in with a programs .exe and it only worked with that program maybe @Charco can help you out I know he has been using it but only for certain things.

[MrBrac]

Seems to be a psp and demul issue now. Getting better.

Hi there, I've used x360ce for some Windows games but not with emulators so far. I just drop the exe in the same folder as the game exe and run it, map the buttons, and it just worked. I have not used it with my Switch Pro controller yet though, just a USB snes pad.

[MrBrac]

Thing is I just ran it in my temp folder and it worked for retroarch. But I just put in ppspp still issues.
