Cemu controls not working

Hello

As ever, thanks for all your hard work on Retrobat - it's such an amazing frontend!

I've noticed recently that the controls for Cemu (Wii U) no longer work for me.
The controls work fine for everything else (using an Xbox Series S|X pad via Bluebooth) and I can still quit Cemu using the hotkey but when a game loads, none of my inputs register.

I thought maybe it was because I updated Cemu to the latest version, so deleted the folder and used the default version that Retrobat downloads, but still no luck.
I have now updated Retrobat to v6.1, yet that still hasn't fixed it. I have even tried a fresh Retrobat install.

It is just me or is this a general bug?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello,

That's an issue with updated XBOx controllers that are identified as Bluetooth-LE compatible device instead of Xbox controllers.
Nothing we can do except wait for cemu to update their SDL version (or microsoft to fix the firmare/driver issue for these controllers)

Can you check what's the situation of your controller in terms of drivers or what guid it has in your es_input.cfg file located in retrobat\emulationstation\.emulationstation ?

If it reports 030000005e040000200b000020057200 ==> it is incorrect

3 solutions:
1) Downgrade the controller firmware so that windows detects it again as a Xbox One controller
2) use it wired (USB)
3) disable autoconfiguration and configure it manually in cemu

Thanks for the quick reply!

The guid in the es_input.cfg is the number you mentioned.
For now I will disable the autoconfiguration option.

Thanks again for your help.

Hello,

Can you try the fix we have put in the wiki for cemu autoconfiguration ?
It is here:

At the bottom.

Hi, sorry to revive this, by I encounter the same issue with Retrobat 6.3.0 even if the changelog indicates that this issue is fix for Cemu and Ryujinx. I tried with both a Razer Wolverine V2 and a Nacon controller. I try your fix and it doesn't change anything. Also, all my controller are USB wired, no wireless here. I tried to use both SDL and XInput pilots for controller but it doesn't work either. Any clue ?

That's a very old fix ! You should not use that and use genuine 6.3.1.
Also ensure you use the cemu version provided with Retrobat.

In addition, we need 4 things:
1) the emulatorlauncher.log file after running a cemu game
2) the controller0.xml file (located in cemu\portable\controllerprofiles) after running from retrobat
3) the same file after making controls work from within cemu
4) the detailed information of your retrobat version but also the date of the emulatorlauncher.exe file (in retrobat\emulationstation) to ensure it's not outdated from the fix you installed

Thanks for your reply. I noticed that I have the same problem with Ryujinx, but one problem at the time. Files are available here https://upload.disroot.org/r/Gznwc83c#AZgmNMFvVJTKTPlveYlKLeLCovPgvDqmlgYDVLZMABg=

EmulatorLauncher is dated from 17/07/2024.  I think Retrobat create the controller0 profile for cemu, but when I launch a game there is no notification says that it launch this configuration. But, when creating the plr1 profile, it indicates me that this profile is used. I tried many SDL versions with no success also.

EDIT : I think the issue is because controller0.xml is stored in emulators\cemu\controllerProfiles and not emulators\cemu\portable\controllerProfiles. If I move the controller0.xml in the portable location, it works.

You have an old version of retrobat and a new version of cemu, these are not compatible

Okay thanks ! And how can I update Retrobat ? I've the latest when I search for updates ?
