(Android) Controller axis issue with 8bitdo SN30P+ in Xinput
0%
Description
Not a game specific issue.
Dolphin for Android appears to have some issues with correctly reading gamepad axes of the 8bitdo SN30 Pro+ in Xinput mode on Bluetooth. Specifically, all directions on the right stick are read as either Axis 14+ or Axis 11+. This affects both the GameCube input mapping screen as well as emulated gameplay -- manually editing INI with the proper values causes the C-stick to always be pushed in-game. Left stick works fine. Other games, emus, and gamepad test apps have no issue reading this input, so it's unlikely to be a controller issue.
Notably, switching the controller to Dinput mode fixes the issue. However, Dinput mode doesn't support analog triggers, so that's not a good workaround for many games.
Controller is not recognized by the device at all in wired Xinput mode. Controller works correctly in wired Dinput mode. No help there.
Issue could presumably be reproduced easily, but I don't have additional devices or controllers to test.
Device is a OnePlus 7T on OxygenOS 10. Controller is updated with latest firmware (v4.0.2 from 8bitdo).
Issue exists in Play Store release 5.0-12716 as well as several older releases that I tested, including the previous release 5.0-12247.
Attempted to include a Pad log but it was not generated by Dolphin. If I'm doing something wrong, maybe someone can guide me through the process of creating a proper log.

Can confirm that this exact issue happens to me as well.
I'm using the same controller (8bitdo SN30 Pro+ in Xinput mode), using the latest v5.0 firmware. Tested on Dolphin 5.0-13178.

When testing X input in a gamepad tester app, the right analog stick registers directional inputs correctly. This issue is only in Dolphin emulator so far

Also I don't know how to add comments/edit comments in forums, sorry about the duplicate comment.

I also just made an account to say I'm also having this issue with my SN30 Pro+ connected to my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra in Xinput mode, the only mode on this controller with a full feature suite (rumble, analog triggers). I have even tried manually setting the Axis to the missing negative values that never get registered in the Dolphin.ini settings file to no avail.
When I spoke about it on the forums, I was told on the forums:
"that input handling on the Android port is a bit rough at the moment as it uses a separate (and outdated) code path in relation to the main PC/Mac ports"
For other reference, when I use the Duckstation Android port, it registers each stick input by axes wather than individual directions.
And in the original 8bitdo Android app (the one with the white icon before it was removed from the Play Store), it not only connects but reports accurate stick position on the right stick as I move it around.

All I can tell you is that Jos is working on an input rewrite, and things should work better once it's done. It's a long time in the works but hopefully it'll bring Android up to snuff with desktop builds.

Oh, that's neat! Thank you, hopefully I'll find some place to thank Jos myself someday.

The input rewrite is now here. Could you test if this is working in it?
