One thing I’ve run into as I’ve been playing some of my retro games is that, when using a controller with an Nvidia Shield + Moonlight or even with just a Steam Deck, the emulators often have a massive amount of controls that I can’t really interact with. All of the controls are hotkey based, for save states, loading states, etc.

Most of the games I’m wanting to play are controller based, but it feels like the tools to enjoy them are all keyboard based. Do you just use the built in save functionalities? How does it all work?

    Steam controller plus ‘sc-controller’ for linux. It supports other controllers too. There may be an android fork out there.

    I also use it for most steam games, as I abhor steam input. I always launch steam with --nojoy.
