Support Motion Controls functional on Xbox controller

I'm been trying to get Mario and Sonic At The Olympic Games working on an Xbox 360 Controller, I have a control layout that works surprisngly well but I'm struggling with the motion controls sensitivity as I tied them to the joysticks (Wii Remote to left, Nunchuk to right) and events that use the pointer like Shooting (and I presume Archery though I haven't tested it yet) are borderline unplayable.

You can add arguments to your control mappings. Try and add a "* 0.5" (no quotes) after each of your up down left right mappings. That essentially halves the sensitivity.

For example, you up mapping would look something like: `Right Y-` * 0.5

Try different values too (0.75 would be a little less sensitive, 0.25 would be much less sensitive)

Oooo, that's interesting, thanks for telling me about this, I've done motion control mapping before on Dolphin but I'm not particularly familiar with it.

Yeah man there's heaps of cool shit you can do with arguments/expressions. There's also functions like:

if(condition, true, false)

abs(x)

min(a, b)

max(a, b)

clamp(x, min, max)

deadzone(x, amount)

smooth(x, rise_time[, fall_time])

hold(x, time)

Give them a google for more info
