Use with PC platforms

Windows

Applications Steam Link and Moonlight allows to map touch buttons to physical buttons. Controller does not have analog triggers or pressure sensitive buttons, so this method is able to emulate every physical button properly.
Requires smartphone to be able to pair controller with PC via WiFi connection.
USB connection allows to see gamepad in Control Panel, but buttons are not being registered.

Support In Games

Support for some controller features may be only available on certain systems. Refer to game-specific articles for details.

Games with XInput button prompts

Error 1140: In aggregated query without GROUP BY, expression #1 of SELECT list contains nonaggregated column 'pcgamingwiki_cargo.cargo__Input._pageID'; this is incompatible with sql_mode=only_full_group_by (mysql01.mysql.pcgamingwiki-14662257-production.svc.cluster.local)

Function: CargoSQLQuery::run Query: SELECT `cargo__Input`.`_pageID` AS `cargo_backlink_page_id_Input`,`cargo__Infobox_game`.`_pageID` AS `cargo_backlink_page_id_Infobox_game`,COUNT(*) FROM `cargo__Infobox_game` LEFT OUTER JOIN `cargo__Input` ON ((`cargo__Infobox_game`.`_pageName`=`cargo__Input`.`_pageName`)) WHERE `cargo__Input`.`Xbox_prompts`='true' OR `cargo__Input`.`Xbox_prompts`='limited' OR `cargo__Input`.`Xbox_prompts`='hackable' ORDER BY `cargo__Input`.`_pageID`,`cargo__Infobox_game`.`_pageID`,COUNT(*) LIMIT 100

.

Please note, that this is only list for games that offer XInput button prompts.
