I've connected it via Bluetooth, downloaded drivers from Github, configured the controls and all that, yet Project64 doesn't recognize that I'm using a controller. And I've tested the controller thru Windows calibrate settings to check it's activate, which it is.

I wanted to play Smash 64 Remix with it.

Edit: It works, but very finicky on Windows.

You have a few options to try to get it less finicky.
Problem 1:
Depending on the version of the input plugin. It can detect inputs that aren't xinput.
That would mean that if your using a driver. Like betterjoy, or ds4windows, and steam. It may create the xinput controller, but fail to hide the actual controller. Meaning the emulator grabs the switch pro controller, (which windows will map it wrong) and the xinput version created by the driver.
If it's this problem

Install this. and set it up so your driver program only sees the actual controller. While everything else can't. Just check if it's problem 2 first though.
Problem 2:
Driver infighting. If you have steam running, and your not using it for the switch pro controller support it has. It can from my experience cause issues. Usually turning steam off works. Or just using steam's method of input instead through running project 64 through it.

Yep, it worked after that.

Just a bit annoying it requires that just to use it. I'll use the Stadia controller (which has analog triggers) on PC while the Switch Pro Controller on Android.

I've loaded my phone with Dreamcast and Saturn games to play on the go. :)

    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.

    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
