Bug with screen saver

Open shadow2560 opened this issue 7 years ago • 4 comments

I don't know how to reproduce this bug but sometime, when I emulate a controller with my Playstation 3 controller, the screen go dark like when you don't touch any butons during a moment.

I think this bug is producing when the controller is disconnected during emulation. When you reconnect it, the buttons work normaly but I think that this screen saver bug initiate at this moment.

Maybe this could be just a matter of time before the bug occure but it seems to be random cause I've tested to disconnect and reconnect the PS3 controller but the bug has apeared two or three hours after.

If I discover something new about it, I'll let you know.

Yeah the Wii U darkens the screen normally after a period of inactivity. Apparently inputs from a DS3 (mapped to pro slot 1) do not reset this timer.

yeah, it seems the console only cares about real button presses, not virtual ones. If you want to use hid_to_vpad you can just disable the burn-in-reduction feature, inside System Settings (the icon with 2 screens).

That's an acceptable workaround. Still, I feel like this should be fixable.

Yeah I bet it can be patched
