Comment on [Discussion] Emudeck - Great Emulator on the Steam Deck

  Oh, that's amazing to hear! I prefer the design of RetroDECK over Emudeck a lot, so I'm more than happy to migrate back then.

  Pssst… Hi, got a couple questions, one’s potentially bug related, the other is feature related.

  First question: when I plug a controller in and try to play something with Dolphin, many times I have to go and swap the controller in Dolphin’s gamepad setup, otherwise it doesn’t see the controller. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t that way when I originally installed retrodeck (I could seamlessly go from holding the deck to using a controller on the couch), so I’m wondering if there are any settings that I might have accidently enabled/disabled that are requiring me to manually swap controllers in dolphin settings. If it helps, the steam deck shows up as Xbox 360 pad 0, my steam controller shows up as Xbox 360 pad 1.

  Second question: someone else mentioned that it’s possible to use emudeck to launch games directly from steam. Is this possible with retrodeck, and if not, are you planning to implement the ability to do something like that?

    RetroDECK CM Here:

    **First question: **when I plug a controller in and try to play something with Dolphin, many times I have to go and swap the controller in Dolphin’s gamepad setup, otherwise it doesn’t see the controller.

    We recommend using the Steam Input interface to leverage order switching, look here:

    Change Controller Order

    We are also working on better external controller support with a variety of hotkey for the next big update 0.8b.

    You can even download and test them right now (check the comments for latest ZIP):

    Issue 573

    They are subject to rapid change as I’m rethinking several aspects of them, until their first version in 0.8b.
