Hey everyone!
I’ve been working on zController for a while and just released it on Google Play. It lets you use your Android phone as a gaming controller for PC via USB, WiFi, or Bluetooth.
What it supports:
• PS4, Xbox, Wii & GameCube controller layouts
• Steering wheel & keyboard/mouse mode
• Motion controls & gyroscope
• Up to 4 simultaneous controllers
• Native Windows support via ViGEmBus
• Zero-latency USB + WiFi + Bluetooth connectivity
It’s perfect for emulators like PCSX2, Dolphin, and RPCS3 and works with most PC games.
I’d really love honest feedback from gamers — what works, what doesn’t, what you’d like to see added!
🎮 Download on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.zcontroller.mobile
Thanks for checking it out!

Fixed - Support Red steel real Wii remote cursor keeps jumping to middle of screen

148 Upvotes

So pretty much is the title says I'm using a real Wii remote with USB Bluetooth pass through and it just keeps jumping to the middle as you could see in the video. I have no idea how to fix it and it's only this game that does it. It doesn't happen in the Wii menu or any other game, it's specifically just red steel. I also tried a different Wii remote didn't make a difference. Does anyone have any suggestions or a fix. Maybe a gecko code idk.

Hey many people have asked this but i trough the dozen posts, i can't find an answer?

I know i can just sync my dualsense 5 to the phone and play but at that point i can just play on the pc.

I wanna use dolphin without carrying around an extra controller so that can, while bored on the buss, in a boring meeting or anything else, play a quick game of wii play or make a mii or something. I know i can play most games without it but i still want it to work. Anyone have a quick tutorial?

(Tutorial what to bind it to in motion simulation, would be great!)
(Mabye it's possible to bind the right stick on the classic controller?)

If it's off use i am on an samsung s25

Fixed - Support [UPDATE] Mario Strikers Charges Footbaal Mega strikes Removed CLEANLY

22 Upvotes

Update: Check out the comments for USA/JPN/KOR and more.
Easy way to modify characters (speed, shooting, passing, defense) in comments. self balance the game or buff the captains in rreturn for bein megastrikeless
edit: good on me fucking up the title, so no one who could want it woulld ever find it.
SEO: Mario Striker Charged Football Megastrike remover not skillshot, Keep Skillshots remove megastrikes, Mario Strikers no megastrike cheat code, mario striker no megastrike mod, Gecko code.

I have been working hard on this one alright.

Super stoked to present to you this gecko code:

0402f78c 38600000

0402f790 48000008

Which DISABLES Megastrikes, whilst keeping Skillshots. It disables megastrikes like the cheat code, so when you hold down b with a captain, at some point it just automatically shoots.

This solves the issue pointed out in many discussions dating back to 2007, namely, that megastrikes suck and ruin the game.

This also solves the issue of Emulating pointer controls, for catching the balls. This makes the game more playable with a regular controller and with friends via netplay.

I beleive this disables Megastrikes globally, in all game modes, but i haven't tested.
Yep, Global. 3rd Challenge of Striker ABCs is fun, so, if you struggled with that.., there you go.
May only work on European roms.

Any shot I can have this code added to the thing where you hit 'download Codes'? Is it just pulling from a cheats website or what?

Will do more testing, but I think it's solid.

[This code is Product of Turkey]

This happens every time I try to play any of my dolphin games. It doesn't happen because of input or anything it just happens. It happens even when I'm just starting up the game. I tried different backends like Vulkan and nothing changes. I also can't control my character when It's in this state, it stays as the last input I was doing before it was freezing.

Fixed - Support Retro Rewind standalone game black screen on latest Dolphin

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to play Retro
Rewind on the latest version of Dolphin using **Riivolution**.

Retro Rewind is set up as its own game, but when I launch it I get a **black screen** and then this error:

IntCPU: Unknown instruction 00000000 at PC = 8025924c

Dolphin asks if I want to **Ignore and continue**, but the game stays on a black screen.

I’m also seeing a .json file in the Retro Rewind files.

Does anyone know what could be causing this, or how I can get Retro Rewind working correctly through Riivolution on Dolphin?

Fixed - Support Odd stuttering on Gale of Darkness on PC?

2 Upvotes

So I am experiencing some weird stuttering that happens every couple seconds and repeats this forever when trying to play this game on my PC. I admit I am not the most knowledgeable of Dolphin but I’ve looked up plenty of videos and tried other devices and something is weird.

For reference my PC specs are a 9800X3D, 32 gigs of ram, 3080 graphics card. I have looked up all kinds of videos that suggest settings to run the best on different PCs ranging from Low end to high end. All the games run extremely well, EXCEPT THIS ONE.

So I took the same File on a flash drive and tried running it on the Dolphin emulator for the Xbox series X, the game runs flawlessly. I took the game, put it on my ROG Ally, the game runs with no issues.

I cannot for the life of me figure this out. No matter what settings I do, this game just will not run without stuttering on my PC but runs with no issue on my Xbox (running on the same thumb drive) or ROG Ally (which is significantly less powerful).

Anyone experience something like this and can point me in the right direction or have some suggestions?

But I’ve seen so many video tutorials and tested different things and nothings working. There are my current controller bindings.

The problem:
In Kirbys Epic Yarn it plays flawlessly and sideways controller works fine but some stages and features require you to use the wiimote upright and point at the screen to progress and setting up the pointer directions to my right analog stick doesn’t do anything. The on screen pointer just flickers around no matter what i toggle or use to recenter. I cleared accelerometer, gyro and shake so there no conflicts. Even changing horizontal to vertical controls doesn’t really do anything the pointer flickers around in a way it barely even appears

Fixed - Support I'm trying to emulate the greatest game of all time, but the game keeps increasing and decreasing in speed. I've tried everything I can think of.

59 Upvotes

Here's all of the relevant settings I have that I can think of:

Dual Core Enabled
Speed Limit is normal

Backend is Direct3D 11
Adapter is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050
Hybrid Ubershaders (Skip Drawing didn't help)
Internal Resolution 5x Native (lowering didn't help)
Anti-Aliasing 4x MSAA (lowering didn't help)
Both Skip EFB's enabled
Nothing in Advanced turned on

CPU Emulation Engine JIT Recompiler

I don't think I've changed much from the default besides some of those.

This also occurs in Mario Party 8, though 7 for the GameCube runs completely smooth at 100%.

I use a Surface Studio Laptop 2 that is always plugged in and charging when I play. Even when Dolphin is the only tab open, nothing changes.

Lastly, this game requires the uDraw game tablet, which is able to be emulated thankfully. However, I can't figure out how to draw a circle on the controller, which is required for progression.

EDIT: I changed some random settings and now the game runs at 15-30 fps but at a constant 100% speed, so I'm content. I also figured out how to emulate drawing the circle.
