Can someone explain to me like I’m 5 years old how to change the controls in Dolphin UWP retail for Xbox Series? thanks.

Specifically, there’s no button assigned to “shake Wii more” for some reason (and no it’s not L3 or R3)

I just want to be able to assign a button for shake.

afaik, you have to change them on the computer, then transfer over the config file.

I don’t know how to transfer it though. Everyone says put the changed controller settings into the config file, but on my Xbox via ftp I’m not seeing any sort of configuration folder with Dolphin. The folder see,s to be called Vappypub for some reason and there’s no config folder.

I'm not sure if you need to create the folder still or not, so I can't help further. you used to have to create the config folder by going into that small menu with the L3 and one of the center buttons.

It’s explained in this video


Sorry but my question isn't answered at all

-I'm specifically talking about retail. Dev mode appears to have totally different steps

-my emu (1.12) doesn't have this option to create a "Dolphin emulator" folder

Can you Change the default configuration folder to usb? as explained in the video?

Edit: just read you don’t have that option, as soon as the files are back online to download I’ll give it a try and see what options I get

Dev and retail will use the same config if you put it on external. It may not use the same location for games if on external, since external is drive d on retail and drive e on dev mode.

afaik, you have to do so on dolphin on the pc, which means syncing the controller to pc, which is a major pita or lack of convenience.

I thank you for your answer, however, how do I do this?
I saw the video guide posted above on how to set the controls, i.e. copy the "Config" of the emulator from the PC to the "Dolphin Emulator" folder on the Xbox stick, only I don't have that folder in the stick (probably because I downloaded the emulator without Dev) and even trying to create it myself doesn't change anything (yes I've already tried).

I'm not sure. one of my config files work, but the other didn't. you could say something is wrong with this method.

    @BigOnYa, and since the default emulator is below average i downloaded some "replacements" like snes9x for snes games for example

    And I also have my ps3

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea ps3 is a beast still to today compared to most "sticks"
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?

    Tootles? Wtf

    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it
