@tom you could try using x360ce to emulate xinput then try the xinput plugin.
Bit of a workaround but it opens another option.
@synthgal I'm using ds4tool which does exactly that! it's really weird bc I can map my controls just fine but it's just... not doing anything when I'm in a game or the bios
@tom couldn't tell ya, then.
Try a different emulator? Not for the same system necessarily, just see if it's local to that emu.
@synthgal thank you though!
