Is there a way to force pro controller for games that don't support it?

[DarkerGBA]

Hi all,

I am wondering if there is a way to force the pro controller to be recognised as a pair of joycon controller / a single joycon controller for the games that don't support it natively.

I really hate that in some games - i.e. unworthy, dungeon of dreadrock, I can't use the pro controller and have to detach the joycons instead.

Can mission control do that?

Thanks a lot!

AFAIK Mission control reports to the switch that whatever controller is connected (Xbox PS4, etc) is a Pro controller and that cannot be changed.

It isn't really intended for use with Switch controllers, but is for getting other consoles controllers working without a hardware adapter.

You MIGHT be able to do something like what you are looking to do with a USB adapter like the Mayflash or collective minds Switch-Up, but I've never used one so I cant say for certain.

All usb adapters report anything as pro controller

I asked @ndeadly a while ago if this was possible so Pokemon Let's Go could be played without joycons but it's probably such a niche request

I also wanted to change the identification of the Pro Control because Resident Evil Revelations 1/2 only supports motion control on joycon.

Actually, the general request to have controllers present themselves as joycons is quite a popular one. It's doable and can also be made to work for first-party controllers too. I had a few issues preventing it from being suitable for release, but I think those are mostly resolved now. Main reason for holding on to it is that I want to release it alongside other controller config options with an applet/overlay for setting them, and those are not finished yet. Been focused on other aspects of the project like BLE support lately.

Did any of this ever come to fruition?

The situation hasn't really changed much. It's still on my to-do list.
