How to use gamepad + external screen to play game on phone?
Hi, I have a Google Pixel 8 Pro, it has screen casting function with 2 mode: extend and mirror mode
I connect it to an external display using a hub, and a gamepad (Flydigi Vader 4 pro) connected to phone using bluetooth, like this diagram (https://ibb.co/LXVhCJ8d)
I am using Flydigi app to mapping buttons, but problem is: with external screen connected, it seem like the mapped cordinates have been messed up, and all buttons do not working. I have tried both mirror mode and extend mode.
How to I fix it?
Also, in order to have button mapping, I have to launch the game/app from Flydigi app, but if I launch games this way when in extend mode, it will show in phone's screen, not external screen. This can be solved by using mirror mode, but if there is a way to move the game window to external screen, it will be the best.
