Description
The bug can be seen in this video, once the Retro-bit tribute64 dongle is plugged in, phantom inputs begin on loop (https://youtu.be/IfKAnqhvloo)
As a result unable to map anything for this controller and use a tribute64 controller on the Mac version of Retroarch. This affects 1.10 and 1.12 on both the Metal and Intel version (using an 8gb M1 MacBook Air)
Edit:- One factor I notice. When trying to use the controller on AetherSX2 or Dolphin, there's an HID input and an SDL input. If I select the HID it causes the phantom inputs. Is there a way to add SDL to the controller driver on Mac Intel or Metal versions? Or I would need to build this manually myself?
Another edit:-
So MFI Driver was added, this just gives us nothing in terms of device
If HID driver is chosen, controller goes haywire as before
