Emulator

Hi thanks for the reply. I may have missed that and it certainly helps but still with some issues... What I found was setting the correct wiimote orientation (horizontal) in ‘choose controller’ (and with a mapped physical controller) still resulted in conflicting inputs. A setting I’d definitely not noticed is ‘Overlay Controls>Motion Controls’ (I hadn’t realised the black window was scrollable and it was hidden). This enables me to disable the phone sensors so as to remove the permanent inputs from the gyros and play correctly with a controller.

My personal issue is resolved by this but I do think there is a broader motion input issue...

I believe Dolphin (Android) is registering motion inputs from the gyros as if the phone/tablet was laid flat (i.e. on a table) and not compensating for the fact most people don’t play like this with either their device held in a more upright position (in front of their face) or attached to a controller.

If you try playing Super Monkey Ball (Wii) with emulated Wiimote motion inputs you have to hunch over your device keeping it flat, to move forward at pace you have to tilt your device so far forward that you can no longer comfortably see the screen. Perhaps this is known and/or by design?

Thanks JosJuice. Agreed, it makes more sense as a feature request.

Any chance that this could be added? With steamdecks becoming a huge emulation platform this is pretty vital.

Potentially another solution would be to allow us to map a button that when pressed it would set whatever orientation the controller/steamdeck is in currently to be the new flat at runtime.

It would be awesome to have the option to change the off-set live (maybe when pressing a "recenter" button). This will definitely take motion sensor use on portable devices to the next level.
