Dolphin emulator games stays in small window in corner mac
spycrab0 dug into the Dolphin's IOKit backend and refactored it, taking out several bugs in the process and finally allowing all buttons and triggers on Xbox One Wireless controllers to be detected properly. On macOS, Dolphin uses an IOKit input backend native to that operating system. MacOS on the other hand was struggling to get all buttons working on certain models of Xbox controllers in Dolphin.

In order to bring feature parity to the various input backends, Billiard implemented hotplugging support in both Windows input backends. While users on other platforms had hotplugging support, DirectInput and Xinput on Windows lagged behind. Any controllers plugged in during execution would be ignored until the emulator was restarted. One of the more archaic behaviors of Dolphin was that outside of native controller support, users on Windows had to have their controllers plugged in before they started the emulator. 5.0-9869 and 5.0-9795 - Input Backend Upgrades by Billiard and spycrab0 ¶ Users on macOS can now use the same auto-update plans as our Windows users to keep up with the latest monthly or development builds without having to manually update!Īuto-update makes staying on the latest versions of Dolphin easy. Keeping up with the latest monthly and development builds has gotten a lot easier on macOS thanks to spycrab0 and the macOS auto-update infrastructure. Notable Changes ¶ 5.0-9575 - Implement Auto-Updater for macOS by spycrab0 ¶ Our general tip is that MotionPlus titles are mostly looking for unique motions - think about the motions needed to be done in their most simple form and that'll work most of the time. Our best suggestion is to be patient and let the community figure out the best ways to configure various controllers, as there is a lot more people with a wider variety of controllers and experience playing the games than the people working on developing them. This is actually a fairly difficult task, especially for players who couldn't/haven't played the games before with their native motion controls. I need settings! ¶Ĭonfiguring Wii Remotes normally can be difficult, and with MotionPlus games requiring more exact movements, users have been struggling to find the right combination for games. We're currently investigating the issue and the early prognosis is that it shouldn't be too painful to fix. And that's what the problem is - the physics behind MotionPlus are applying tremendous amounts of acceleration over essentially no distance in some scenarios resulting in Skyward Sword reading a stab. though, it requires hitting something with a Wii remote to create a ton of acceleration data over a very small distance. This behavior is actually achievable on console. This was the last thing being worked on before merge, and while it's a lot better than it was in testing, it still tends to have problems after certain motions. This one is an actual bug that has actually plagued the MotionPlus rewrite from the beginning. Skyward Sword tends to stab after swings ¶ For Skyward Sword you'll need to greatly increase infrared range if you want to control the menus with the infrared setting in Dolphin. The problem users are running into is that the pointer doesn't reach the edge of the screen with normal settings. Even on console, compared to most games you have to move the Wii Remote a lot more than most games when controlling the pointer in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. However, you can control gyro and accelerometer data through Dolphin's pointer thanks to a physics engine that takes into account a Virtual Wii Remote behind the scenes. The Pointer in Skyward Sword Doesn't Reach the Edge of the Screen ¶Īs we tried to hint at in the feature article, but The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword doesn't actually use Infrared for the pointer. The article has already said all the details and trials that developers went through to get everything done and merged, so instead let's use this space to talk about some of the issues we've seen users running into with MotionPlus emulation and MotionPlus games. Emulated Wii MotionPlus didn't seem like it was ever going to happen for many years, but it's finally here.
