Hello everyone - I am currently using a VERY makeshift system to play my games in a portable manner. Recently my Xbox controller died a death so I've been having to use my JoyCons when streaming my games to my linux laptop using the service Rainway. The problem I am having is that even though my JoyCons are recognised as an input device the 360 controller that is emulated by Rainway moves the buttons in the wrong order, meaning playing games that have any complicated button combos is near impossible. I was wondering if there was a way that I could emulate my Joycons as a 360 controller locally so that any inputs register correctly when used. I have seen Xboxdrv but it doesn't seem to work, I think its because my JoyCons are wireless! Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks! Smile

I believe you need to adjust the controller button mappings on the machine when the game is installed. There are two options: 1) using a config file in Rainway, or 2) within the game itself. I’m not sure if Rainway supports this feature. Searching online didn’t help, and Rainway isn’t publicly accessible. It might be best to reach out to the Rainway developers for assistance.
