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
Good to know it runs well! Games from that era sometimes are very picky with controllers. Try this:
Thanks, I have tried this and every single mod I could find online.
Nothing worked. I even tried to install steam and run the game through that, Winlator wasn’t very stable though, and would crash. I think I’ll just wait until it improves and hope the issue resolves itself.
That’s a shame. I remember I was very impressed by this game when I played it back then! I didn’t finish it though.
I’m sorry I can’t help. I just wanted to drop a comment because splinter cell 1 was so great to play when it came out and now I want to play it again
Exactly how I feel. I played SC1 the first week it came out, and no one I knew had heard of it before, back before the internet was everywhere and people were reading magazines to figure out what was worth playing. Good times!
Winlator is extremely poorly documented, unfortunately. Ive tried several forks even and it’s always a mixed bag
