Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Xbox Controller Controls

A rust program that allows you use a controller to play mario kart 8 deluxe using an emulator like Yuzu or Ryujinx

Limitations

Only works on windows. The keyboard simulation library that I used is windows specific, and I haven't tested the library on any other operating systems.

Only works for xbox controllers, as far as I know as I have not tested any other types of controllers.

Requires custom keybind setup on the emulator.

Does cause lag to the game and operating system, and the controls don't feel immediate, with sometimes roughly a 10+ms delay.

Setup

In order for the controller to work properly, you will need to set up your emulators keybinds as the previous image displays.

Controls

A: Click (Should only be used for UI navigation)

B: Back (Should only be used for UI navigation)

Y: Jump/Trick/Drift

X: Use item

LB+RB: Start game (When the game asks for you to press LR to start)

LT: Reverse/Brake

RT: Accelerate

Left Stick: Steering and Vertical Controls (Controlling yourself in a glider)

D-Pad and Right Stick: Directional UI navigation (Should strictly only be used for UI navigation)

And that's it! If you ever want to pause the game, just click anywhere on the screen with your mouse
