Description

Game Name?
Any game that uses the Wiimote tilt function

Game ID?
not applicable, any game with tilt function usage.

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong in few words.
The emulated Wiimote pulls to the left or right when not touching any keys (using keyboard) or analog sticks (with controller).

What did you expect to happen instead?
The game not to move/tilt unless controls are touched.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
[Don't assume we have ever played the game and know any level names. Be as
specific as possible.]

Set up Dolphin to use an emulated Wiimote.
Play a game that uses the tilt function (Kororinpa, Monkey Ball Banana Blitz, Mario Kart etc)
Don't touch any controls once into the level, the game will be tilting on it's own.

Dolphin 3.5 and 3.5-367 are old versions of Dolphin that have
known issues and bugs, so don't report issues about them and test the
latest Dolphin version first.
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on?
4.0-5429, others

Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which
versions of Dolphin used to work?

Yes, the last version to work correctly was 4.0-4536. The next one was 4.0-4543 and that exhibits the tilt problem.

What are your PC specifications? (including, but not limited to: Operating

System, CPU and GPU)
Mac OS 10.10.2 "Yosemite"
Intel Core i5 3.4GHz (Haswell)
nVidia Geforce GTX 650 2048 MB
8 GB 1600MHz DDR3
Dual Shock 4 controller

Is there any other relevant information? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files)

I swear, Jasper breaks something every time he touches input-related code.

So glad someone else has narrowed down this bug, It's definitely an issue I have been facing too.
Emulated Wii Remotes tilt permanently right, regardless of controller connected (tried keyboard & Dualshock 3).

It's possible this could be a Mac-only issue as I'm running OS X 10.10.2 as well.

Still not fixed in 4.0-5441 :(

One of the essential features is broken for such a long time, and STILL nobody cares.

We accept patches; this is an open source project. People work on what they can when they have time. Very few of the developers are knowledgeable on Wiimotes.

Yeah, it's totally understandable. Didn't mean any offence to anyone.
I'm just a little sad because the feature is broken in latest revisions, and I'm forced to use older ones. And making patch may be easy to those who have programming skills, but not for me, so I can't contribute anything :(

I'm going to work on this today. Sorry, I've been busy with actual real work for a long time, but I can settle down for the long weekend.

Awesome! Thankyou. If you feel so inclined could you take a look at Issue 8172? It also involves Wii Remotes and is preventing me from upgrading to the latest dolphin build.

I don't use OS X nor have a way to test it.

I just tried 4.0-5521, which is a few revisions after your fix. Nothing has changed, problem still fully exists.
Then I decided to download 4.0-5513, the revision which is the one to introduce the fix. The problem is there too.

So I believe this issue is not fixed :(

I tested with this game: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Dont_Get_Crushed

Do you see a difference with that?

"Don't Get Crushed" seems to work fine after your fix.

But the game I'm trying to play is Sonic and the Secret Rings. In this game the issue is still present.
It is described by me here: https://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/issues/detail?id=8212 (was merged into this one)

Alright. If I manage to track down a copy of that game, I'll look into it.

I hate to say it but I tested the latest (which is 4.0-5525 right now) and Kororinpa and Monkey Ball still exhibit the same issue I described in the first post.

Thanks for all your hard work!

Could this issue please be reopened? It has not been fixed, at least in OS X. Steps to reproduce with MarioKart Wii: Open Dolphin, open controllers menu, choose emulated wiiremote for player one. Inside that config, assign a button on a real world controller to '2' on the wiimote, and tick 'Sideways Wiimote'. Launch Mariokart, keep pressing 2 until you get into a race, hold 2, observe the veer. Do the same in 4.0-4536 and observe again.
