So I have my GPD Win set up with a ipega PG-9076 joystick permanently plugged into the back (well, the wireless receiver for the controller is, anyway) and split my time between gaming handheld-mode and gaming on the TV ("Switch" style...)
The problem I have is that these controllers are, obviously, identified as separate devices. This causes a variety of problems of varying annoyances... for example:
- When swapping between TV and handheld mode, I need to remember to switch the device ID of player 1 in Reto Arch - mildly annoying
- When using the Sega Model 2 emulator, I need two different configurations for every game; one for built in controllers and one for external controllers - Quite annoying
- Occasionally when Windows boots it decides to switch the index of the two controllers around - Very annoying
- Sonic Mania just does whatever it wants and often refuses to acknowledge one or other of the controllers - Extremely annoying
What I really would love is a virtual joystick that will merge inputs from
any controller into one virtual controller. Does anybody know if this is possible? It looks like
vXbox may be able to acomplish this, but it also looks like I would need to code my own feeder which I really don't have the time to do. Does anybody else have any method of achieving this goal?
