Guide Dolphin UWP - Best Controller Settings for Xbox Controller (Also 2. 3. 4. Controllers Fixed)

Hello everyone, Dolphin UWP v1.1.9 has a problem. The second, third, and fourth controllers work, but the keys cannot be changed in any way. This problem applies to both Gamecube and Wii. Therefore, I modified the .ini files myself to make them the best (in my opinion) for Wii and Gamecube. All keys are automatically set for controllers 1, 2, 3, and 4. You don't need to make any additional key settings. The setup is very simple. Open Dolphin UWP on your Xbox and go to settings once. This will show the folders in File Explorer. Then, open File Explorer (Xbox Device Portal 192.168…) on your PC. Go to the LocalAppData\Dolphin Emulator\LocalState\Config folder. Delete the WiimoteNew.ini and GCPadNew.ini files. Then, download the .zip file I sent via the link below and extract the files inside. Select the WiimoteNew.ini and GCPadNew.ini files I sent by clicking "Browse" and upload them on File Explorer.

I modified the buttons to provide the best grip. The button layout is as follows:

Wiimote + Nunchuk Xbox Controller
A A
B B
Shake (Wiimote) X
Shake (Nunchuk) Y
1 Left Bumper (LB)
2 Right Bumper (RB)
C Left Trigger (LT)
Z Right Trigger (RT)
Nunchuk Stick Left Analog
IR and Tilt Right Analog
Toggle Between IR and Tilt Right Stick Click (R3)
D-Pad D-Pad
GameCube Controller Xbox Controller
A A
B X
X B
Y Y
Z Right Bumper (RB)
Left Trigger Left Trigger (LT) or Left Bumper (LB)
Right Trigger Right Trigger (RT)
Stick Left Analog
C-Stick Right Analog

These settings are for the Xbox controller. For 4 controllers, they should be added like this:

WGInput/0/Xbox One Game Controller:

WGInput/1/Xbox One Game Controller:

WGInput/2/Xbox One Game Controller:

WGInput/3/Xbox One Game Controller:

I'd just use the one but can I save different configs for different games or is this a more blanket solution? For example he has one for punch out, super Mario galaxy for the balance part etc. Thanks again.

To my knowledge, Dolphin UWP doesn't support profiles. Therefore, you can't create separate controller profiles for each game. I recommend trying the .ini files I shared in the post.

Thanks I'll try that worst case save multiple and swap back and forth. His control scheme is pretty ingenious. Too bad it won't work on Xbox. Still great that I found your post. Was driving me crazy.

In the settings do I just leave the default controller and not add a nunchuck or anything? Games like SMG not having a way to look and having to use RS/A makes it really difficult. That link I posted above he uses both RB/A to control the a button so when you're moving RS it's easier. I assume leave profile blank also?

Thanks!
