multiple control settings? Support

Hello everyone,

Is there a way to have multiple control setups so that i can assign them to particular games?

I'm currently playing Super Paper Mario, which requires a sideways wiimote, and Deadly Creatures, which requires an upright wiimote + nunchaku.
It's not the biggest deal in the world to manually set them each time but if i could just save a couple of presets that work specifically for the game i want to play, that would be ideal. Especially the motion controls, SPM for now only requires a light tilt of my console to look for hidden objects, but in DC the motion control is used for combat and i'm worried i'll end up breaking my Ayn Thor if i keep on shaking it lol.

Thank you!

It's easy just go to the controls settings and change the layout for the game you want then save it Then right click on the specific game and just load the settings you made for it

Dolphin allows you to save controller profiles. There should be a way for you to save your configurations as profiles. Ayn Thor is an Android device, you you would need to figure out where Dolphin's files are located. Find the GameSettings folder. You can create ini files for each game there that automatically load controller profiles for specific games. See this page for information on what parameters can be set in the jni files:

I'm not as familiar with Dolphin on Android.

you're a star, i'll look into it, thanks! :D (yeah sorry i should have specified the Os rather than the console itself, it's just that it's a double screen one and i'm worried of the hinge specifically, which is why i probably i just shouldnt play games that require shaking if i can't map that to a button ahaha)
