PD HORI Layout does work with PD Loader

[UiharuKazari2008]

I have tired using the HORI gamepad layout and the game does not detect any input from the slider/analog sticks.
Can you provide any information on how you tested this or how this is supposed to setup.
I used both the DS layouts and arcade controller layouts and none detect the slider. A real DS works

Have you installed vigembus on your computer? If slidershim has been set up properly, windows should play the "usb device connected" sound effect when slidershim starts.

Side note, I've just noted that vigembus is now legacy software (oof), I'll keep my eye out for other gamepad emulation solutions in the future

[UiharuKazari2008]

Yes i have it installed and i used a controller tester and it shows all the inputs working

Do the face buttons (x/o/triangle/square) work?

[UiharuKazari2008]

Yes, just no sliders on any zones

What version of PD Loader should i be using?
Attached is my slidershim config
config.json

[4yn]

Can you remove Ds4_L_Stick_Left from LEFT_SIDE_SLIDE_LEFT and repeat for the 3 others?

I don't recall pd loader version being an issue, and unfortunately i don't have a set up of my own to test this anymore.

[UiharuKazari2008]

Removed those and still no dice, nothing in the menu or test menu

Sorry, I'm not too sure how to fix this at this point

Just to make sure, you are using a physical controller and not brokenithm right
