I was wondering if there is any way so that the steamdeck gamepad can work as my controller when emulating through a PS2? I have it set it to where it reads it as my controller but it will still freeze the game if I hit y and pause it etc. It like controls both the game and the software. I tried mapping the buttons too but that didn’t work. Any help would be appreciated.
If you’re in desktop mode, you have to press and hold the menu button (three horizontal line button at the top right) to switch to “gamepad” mode and actually utilize the inputs correctly. There should be a little prompt that pops up to tell you that the mode was switched. In this mode, you wont be able to navigate the desktop mode as a mouse but the buttons will work like a gamepad should. You can press and hold menu again to switch out of gamepad mode. Might need to re-map your buttons again while in gamepad mode to make sure they work the way you want them.
