Controller input not working properly

[Schwertsascha51]

so i installed the new version and now it thinks my controller inputs are Keyboard inputs (for example: b is space)

[zeromus]

0.9.13

[zeromus]

are you using a QWERTY keyboard layout

[Schwertsascha51]

no QWERTZ

[zeromus]

config > control config
rebind as you please

[Schwertsascha51]

the problem is that i want to play on a controller and when i press the r button it does nothing and the l button is apparently controll so i cant use that one either

[zeromus]

You're telling me if you get desmume 0.9.11 right now you can bind controls perfectly well, but you can't in desmume 0.9.13?

[Schwertsascha51]

i just tried 0.9.11 it doesnt work either

Please explain, what do you mean by 'L button is control'. Are you mapping your gamepad to keyboard by some software?
Also, do you plug you controller before or after desmume start? Desmume does not support hotplug.

[Schwertsascha51]

when i press the L button it says i pressed control. no i am not maping my controller to my keyboard.
before

[zeromus]

What gamepad are you using? Are you using a 3rd party program or driver to make it work?

[Schwertsascha51]

i am using a nintendo swich pro controller i just connect it to my pc with an usb cable

[zeromus]

So you have never, ever used desmume with a switch pro controller before April 9?
Run joy.cpl and see if it's sending glitched input to your computer.

[Schwertsascha51]

no but i figured out the problem steam was running in the background and the desktop layout for controller input wasn't set to gamepad. i didn't even know that setting exsisted.

[zeromus]

I don't know what "desktop layout for controller input" means or for it to be set to gamepad, but steam counts as "3rd party program" if it's interfering with your gamepad input. I guess I'll have to start suggesting people quit steam to see if that helps.
