Overview

When using steam to run the emulator/emulated-games, the emulator completely ignores steam input, this is especially annoying when trying to use multiple controllers on a steam deck as 99% of the time it requires you to manually set the players/controllers up.

Smaller details

.

Nature of request

Add an option in the controller menu to instead use the regular SDL selection, (such as SDL-1, SDL-2).

Why would this feature be useful?

This would do two things;

Provide an alternate means of setting up controllers which players might prefer instead of the current method.
It should allow steam input to decide who/what controller gets player 1, 2, etc. allowing for easy multiplayer on steam deck!

I second this! This is really the last feature that Ryujinx is missing to be the perfect emulator on the Steam Deck.

This has a few added benefits too:

People who use a controller to navigate Steam Big Picture and have added shortcuts to directly launch specific games with Steam ROM Manager will no longer need to plug in a keyboard and mouse to configure controller settings. We often need to launch Ryujinx settings and configure game controllers whenever the number of controllers changes.
It becomes possible to easily rearrange controller order once Ryujinx is launched. This is important because Ryujinx does not always remember controller order.
Controller mappings that have already been set up in Steam can be used by Ryujinx.
