Dolphin Emulator input lag

[GameAddict118]

So i have project m on dolphin, and it has a slight input lag, nothing huge, maybe like .3 or .5 seconds or something, but its enough for me to notice, is there a way to fix this? im currently using a ps4 remote (unfortunately) until my mayflash GC adapter comes in, but even then im scared of it still having that input lag, if anyone can give me some advice on how to fix this that would be great, thanks.

Are you using SDL or DInput for your controller? SDL is noticeably less precise and has documented issues with not processing trigger inputs properly.

Verify that you're using Dinput as stated above. Sometimes you also need to hit the refresh button in GC Pad Settings.

As I understand it, DInput uses the actual controller drivers whereas SDL doesn't.

Ah, i see, well thanks again, it helped a lot, works fine now, all i need is my mayflash adapter to come in, hopefully those things work good with no lag
