How to pass/create controller deadzones?

Hi all-
When I run cemu externally (separate install), the xbox 360 controller works fine. Cemu has a deadzone setting set to 25% which works fine w/ my controller.

When starting from ES, the controller config is overwritten, and  the deadzone setting is set to 15% (my dirty controller needs 25%) and I keep walking off mountains, etc (LOL).

How do I get the deadzone to stick?
thanks for any info.

Workaround- I edited the cemu/controllerprofiles/controller0.txt file and set the deadzone to 0.25. I saved, then set the permissions to read-only. The controller seems to work fine now, but where so I set it on the emulation station config?

hello,

OK good news, the deadzone is hardcoded. Each pad is different, your solution is good i think.
