Playing on Cemu

Below instructions are to enable the usage of the Handheld Companion within Cemu.

Precondition:

• Handheld Companion is installed, service is running. See instructions here Installation.
• Cemu is installed. Website: https://cemu.info/

Configuration:

• Open the Cemu application.
• From the Cemu menu bar, select Options, Input Settings.
• On the Input Settings window, select your preferred Controller number tab, usually 1.
• Select Wii U Gamepad or Wii U Pro Controller in the Emulate Controller drop down.

If you're emulating a Dualshock 4 controller

• Click on + symbol, on API drop down, select DirectInput then pick your Dualshock controller.

If you're emulating an Xbox controller

• Click on + symbol, on API drop down, select XInput then pick your controller.

If you want to configure Gyro support

• Click on + symbol, on API drop down, select DSUController then click on Controller drop down and pick Controller 1.

Per game settings

• In game configuration, certain games make use of motion controls, these are not always configured to be on by default. Check the settings and configure accordingly.
• If the gyro controls feel sluggish or too fast, adjust sensitivity scale in Handheld Companion - Profiles - Cemu, press "Apply" and verify your changes live in game.

Keep in mind that Cemu uses the absolute position of the device, there is no compensation or calibration for the initial position of your device (yet.. ). As such up/down feels natural but looking left and right requires the device to be held upright.

When testing in game, be sure to press the correct enable button/situation where motion controls are enabled, for example, throwing a Pokéball or aiming with bow and arrow.
