I ended up grabbing one of my brother's Xbone controllers, works fine with that. I'll try this when he inevitably comes to steal it back though, so thanks!
I can't believe I'm playing Xenoblade X in 4k lol. I don't think there have been any talk on implementing ways to cheat with cemu any time soon, right? I loved my time with XBX, but it'd be fun to screw around with some cheats on the second playthrough.
e: also another question because I'm woefully uninformed and a real quick search didn't give an answer: the occasional stutters mean it's building the shader cache, am I right? It seems to stutter only for a second or two on certain parts, then never again.
e2: no wait, I guess I could use cheat engine? Oh man, this is going to be great
