Xbox Controller Config Files for Dolphin (found on the discord, I don't know how secure that is)

Dolphin Instructions:

• after first run, load any compatible .iso or .ciso from your prepared USB.

• After the game is finished compiling shaders, click the left stick and back button on your controller to bring up the menu

• use the control stick to scroll down to "select config location"

• select your USB stick and confirm

• restart Dolphin, launch game and repeat process to check if Dolphin has printed its folder structure and default config files on to your USB

• Using a computer, use the config files downloaded from https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1057151520237420634/1057151521248247809/UWP_Dolphin_Controller_Settings.zip to REPLACE the ones already in /config/ on your Xbox USB drive

Your .isos will now launch on your Xbox and recognize your controller. If you are unhappy with the button mapping, you can use the Xbox Accessories app to remap the buttons on your controller system-wide

Don't do anything illegal :porky-happy:
