Dolphin, GTA-SA and most other apps that were previously having gamepad issues should be fixed now.

How to install: Unpack the attached files using 7zip and follow the included instructions found inside README.txt. For those simply upgrading, please enter "NO" when asked whether you want to wipe userdata!

For those needing the Google Play Store: The PowKiddy X18S is a read-only partition device, which means flashing Google Play app packages (via a recovery) isn't possible. Magisk is shipped out-of-box though, allowing the install of system-less Google Play packages like MagiskGapps. The included README.txt contains a section explaining how to.

For those needing root: Magisk is included out of box and only needs to be activated on first boot. Due to the boot partition being signed, in-app updates of Magisk will render the device semi-bricked. Long story short: Don't update Magisk! When a new Magisk update gets released I will make sure to release a new build containing it!

Changelog

  • Fixed some gamepad axis parameters that prevented Dolphin, GTA-SA and several other apps from picking up on them

Unfixable known issues (including fixable things that aren't up to me to fix)

  • The screen turns off while using HDMI output (PowKiddy uses this to hide the fact that their LCM/LCD rotation values are off, but there's little I can do to fix this unless someone at PowKiddy decides to send me the kernel sourcecode)
  • Updating Magisk or trying to uninstall it via the app semi-bricks the device because the bootloader expects signed boot images (don't do it)
  • The kernel wakes the device up every so and so minutes for a split second (its annoying, but there's little I can do to fix this unless someone at PowKiddy decides to send me the kernel sourcecode)

Thanks for the quick update. nice having my controls work again. I was wondering if there is a different device we can spoof for installing magisk gapps? Some of the games I play don't seem to be compatible with the Nexus 5x as they no longer show up.

You can spoof whichever device you like. Just make sure you wipe the cache for both the Google Play Store as well as the Google Play Services app after you change signatures. The reason the README suggests the fingerprint it does is because it's one of few which still passes CTS checks with custom ROMs. People had good results spoofing a Samsung Galaxy S21 though. You'll lose Netflix in the store but you'll gain games like Genshin Impact!

I did swap over to spoofing a S21 and I'm able to get Genshin now. It now crashes when trying to start downloading on the menu, kind of like what happened on the XD+
