I recently was gifted a Retroid 5 pocket. It’s been quite impressive so far. But I can’t for the life of me figure out how to get the controller working on Splinter Cell 1 via Winlator.

The game runs great, and looks so much better than the PS2 or Gamecube versions of the game. I own the GoG version, so I am not sure if this is an issue. But am wondering if anyone else has gotten the Retroid controls working with SC1 before.

I am running:

• Winlator v9.0
• Splinter Cell 1 (v1.3) from GoG

I can see my controller working just fine under the Game controller program, both for Dinput and Xinput. But for whatever reason every single controller fix I use with Splinter Cell triggers a Game fault protection error. If I try to setup a profile in Winlator to control the game, I can get some of the buttons to work, but the dpad and control sticks don’t appear to be able to move Sam or the camera.

I’ve seen some people mention Input Bridge or Antimicrox as a solution, but I’m hoping there is a low effort solution to this. If anyone has any recommendations for how to proceed I am all ears.

Thanks, and if this is better posted somewhere else just let me know
