Emulator Issues #2948
closedpatch to add upright and sideways toggle keybind
0%
Description
Hey, I did some changes to the WiimoteNew plugin, and added 4 new keybindings, to temporally switch to upright/sideways position, and for toggling them permanently. I doubt my solution is the best, but it works, and this could help several games that need this on-the-fly switching. The patch modifies WiimoteEmu.ccp and WiimoteEmu.h.

Yeah, for games like Mario Galaxy (some levels) and all of Metroid: Other M this is a must-have.

RachelB: I saw a feature request about this on /r/emulation today - any way you could review this patch and merge it / reimplement to try and get this feature in?
Background: some games require switching between sideways/upright frequently during gameplay (example: Warioware). This currently requires going to the config dialog every time and switching settings.

Easy solution would be setting up D-Pad with multiple keybinds. You can set up WASD for D-Pad in sideways position and use other keys for D-Pad in upright position (I.E. 2,1,Q,W = W,A,S,D in upright mode).
This doesn't even need a patch unless the most keys are already taken by hotkeys and additional controllers or you don't find switching to different keys for D-Pad in upright position comfortable.

In case for those of you who couldn't figure out what to set up D-Pad with keys and which position to use:
UP: W
DOWN: S | 1
LEFT: A | 2
RIGHT: D | Q
Set Wiimote to always in sideways mode.

@DirenCangoez: Out of curiosity, are there any games which actually require the controller to be physically rotated? I know some games like Mario Galaxy check if the WiiMote is held upright.

That's pretty interesting. I didn't know the Wii has the ability to check the wiimote position.
Does it not need the (virtual) sensor bar at all to detect it?

Okay, I just played some minigames in Super Mario Galaxy 2 with keyboard and I understand now that it's not just D-Pad that needs to be rotated. I was under the impression that the upright/sideways in controller setting was for D-Pad but I am wrong.

Hotkey to quickly toggle between upright and sideways will be super nice!
