Congigure controller with sdl2-config.ini

Citra Support
#1

Issue:
I want to use Citra via an emulator frontend (GameEx), so I need to run citra.exe instead of citra-qt.exe (otherwise the gui gets in the way of the frontend). This works fine with only one problem: I cant seem to configure my controller that way. I have configured my gamepad with citra-qt and it works as intended. I tried to change my sdl2-config,ini, since I understand that’s what citra.exe uses it for its configuration. However it looks like I am doing something wrong, because I cant get my gamepad to work with citra.exe.

System Information

  • Operating System: Windows !0 home
  • CPU: Intel Core i7
  • GPU: Geforce RTX 2060
  • Citra Version (found in title bar): 1372

Changed lines in sdl2-config.ini:

button_a="engine:sdl,joystick:0,button:3"
button_b="engine:sdl,joystick:0,button:2"
button_x="engine:sdl,joystick:0,button:1"
button_y="engine:sdl,joystick:0,button:0"
button_up="engine:sdl,joystick:0,hat:0,direction:up"
button_down="engine:sdl,joystick:0,hat:0,direction:down"
button_left="engine:sdl,joystick:0,hat:0,direction:left"
button_right="engine:sdl,joystick:0,hat:0,direction:right"
button_l="engine:sdl,joystick:0,button:6"
button_r="engine:sdl,joystick:0,button:7"
button_start="engine:sdl,joystick:0,button:9"
button_select="engine:sdl,joystick:0,button:8"
button_zl="engine:sdl,joystick:0,button:4,threshold:-0.8,direction:+"
button_zr="engine:sdl,joystick:0,button:5,threshold:-0.8,direction:+"
button_home="engine:keyboard,code:66"

circle_pad="axis_x:0,engine:sdl,joystick:0,axis_y:1"
c_stick="axis_x:3,engine:sdl,joystick:0,axis_y:2"

I hope anyone can help me with advice on how to get my controller working properly with citra.exe
