Does not work in background #7

Closed marcowindt closed 2 years ago

marcowindt commented 3 years ago

When the app is in the background controller input is not processed and send to Dolphin. This is due to the GCController framework which does not allow this. A solution, although inconvenient, would be to switch to IOKit.HID framework which does allow running in the background.

@marcowindt I think the boolean value shouldMonitorBackgroundEvents (part of the GCController framework) should let the app forward inputs from the game controller even when in the background.

Ah you are absolutely right, thanks! Apparently the default setting changed since MacOS 11.3. I will release a new version with this fix.
