Handheld Daemon Elite Controller Emulation

I realise this is not a Bazzite specific question but wondering if anyone has been able to get Xbox Elite controller emulation working with HHD? Their repo says it's supported with support for back buttons, but I only see the option for Xbox, and when selected I can't map back buttons Also aware I can use duelsense edge, but I don't really use gyro or RGB so elite would be better for me.

Ah excellent, how long do you think for release? It's not urgent so if you're planning soon I'll wait Also, just opened an issue on GitHub asking, feel free to close

theres a script floating around this discord that will install a newer version of hhd until you reboot feel free to use it and try it out I cant give out an ETA since a lot of people are in older versions of Bazzite now and i dont have testers

I'll try and find the script and give it a go, cheers for your work Don't suppose you know if it was a link, file, or snippet? Make it easier to search?

Thanks @antheas what would be your recommendation for making that script a semi permanent change? As in just to persist after a reboot until a release?

You need to find a way to disable the built in version Then just handle selinux labelling and make the local version autostart Those are the two main issues with the install script right now

I considered just setting up a cron for @reboot or using bash Shortcuts Decky plugin but no crontab and for some reason if I run the script from bash shortcuts, HHD Decky plugin doesn't reconnect to HHD

You need to launch it as your user With --user yourusername Otherwise decky won't be able to connect to it

Ah I'll try hard coding that then, maybe bash shortcuts can't whoami

Whoami is there so I don't have to explain enter your user

Would have thought bash shortcuts would be using a shell opened by my user but worth checking

It's probably rppt

So it's running as my user and completing so that's not the problem but when it finishes hhd-decky errors, and I lose access to steam and qam buttons
