Windows: no rumble with Switch Pro Controller

Open autofire372 opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

First and foremost consider this:

  • Only RetroArch bugs should be filed here. Not core bugs or game bugs
  • This is not a forum or a help section, this is strictly developer oriented

Description

The Switch Pro Controller fails to rumble in Windows (RetroArch log console reports [WARN] [SDL]: Couldn't open haptic device of the joypad #0: Haptic: There are 0 haptic devices available)

Expected behavior

I expect the controller to rumble when appropriate, as it does in, for example, mGBA standalone.

Actual behavior

The controller isn't even identified as capable of rumble.

Steps to reproduce the bug

  1. Sync Switch Pro Controller to Windows
  2. Launch RetroArch from command line with -v
  3. Change controller driver to sdl2 and restart RetroArch
  4. Observe above-mentioned warning

It is not possible to use Xinput with BetterJoy driver ?

It seems rumble should be supported with SDL2 for this controller.

Also if you have Steam running please stop it.

Retested with Steam not running; RetroArch still thinks the controller has no rumble support.

@autofire372 Can you make a test using xinput driver with DS4Windows ?

Also, if you have Steam running please stop it before making your test.

If your issue is specific to SDL2 driver please rename your title issue to something No rumble with Switch Pro Controller with SDL2 joypad driver on Windows

Thank you.
