No gyro in Cemu when ran through Big Picture Mode

I’ve confirmed the behavior with btmon. Steam is disabling motion reporting on the controller via Bluetooth the moment the game window is focued :man_shrugging:

So my current workaround it to have a python script that re-enables the motion reporting on the controller and make it run every 1 second. Add these two files somewhere:

  1. pip install pysdl2

  2. sdl-enable.py:

import sys
import sdl2
import sdl2.ext
import time

def enable_motion(controller):
    if sdl2.SDL_GameControllerSetSensorEnabled(controller, sdl2.SDL_SENSOR_ACCEL, 1) != 0:
        print(f"Failed to enable accelerometer: {sdl2.SDL_GetError().decode()}")
        sdl2.SDL_GameControllerClose(controller)
        sdl2.SDL_Quit()

def main():
    if sdl2.SDL_Init(sdl2.SDL_INIT_GAMECONTROLLER | sdl2.SDL_INIT_EVENTS) != 0:
        print(f"SDL_Init error: {sdl2.SDL_GetError().decode()}")
        return 1
    num_joysticks = sdl2.SDL_NumJoysticks()
    for i in range(num_joysticks):
        if sdl2.SDL_IsGameController(i):
            controller = sdl2.SDL_GameControllerOpen(i)
            if controller:
                enable_motion(controller)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    sys.exit(main())
  1. fix-motion.sh
#!/bin/bash

while true; do python /home/kuba/sdl-enable.py; sleep 1; done &

"$@"

Then, run chmod +x fix-motion.sh and change the steam command to /path/to/fix-motion.sh %command%
