[Bug]Controller settings are not saved

[kusanagi0]

Description of the issue

Input settings are disabled every time you launch the application with Ver 1.2.82
It's inconvenient because you can't use the controller unless you load the profile and reset the settings each time.

Reproduction steps

Check input settings when launching the application.

You need to configure the controller everytime you launch Ryujinx, I find it repetitive, but since they changed how the controller connects to the emulator/game, they would need to revert something

I'm facing this problem with Xbox controllers when used wirelessly (Bluetooth), but when used with a cable it doesn't present this problem, this has been reported and exhaustively discussed here #577

This continuity fork of ryujinx is great, but this problem of not saving the settings on some controllers and also on certain types of connection, comes from the original code of the emulator, certainly the SDL needs to be completely revised.

Unfortunately we will have to live with this inconvenience until a contributor with SDL experience helps this project.

There is an attempt to fix it here #686 , test the artifact and report the result there, it didn't work for me.

Thank you for the various answers.
As you said, I'm using an xbox controller wirelessly.
In my environment, this problem did not occur until 1.2.81.
I thought the new update had something to do with it, but I'm surprised that it seems to have been happening for quite some time.

@kusanagi0 Unfortunately this is a problem that has been around for a long time, the problem is that many people lived with this and did not report it, I tried to test it even on the old ryujinx 1.1.1402 that was discontinued, and guess what? the same problem happened.

The SDL in this emulator needs to be revised, it behaves strangely for some types of controls and connection types, I hope that one day some dev will implement xinput as an option.

We're not adding xinput.

@GreemDev You bad guy, don't let us dream lol (I'm joking)

It's a true problem, i created a similar bug, this is related to the guid Ryujinx is using in the config.json file.

Everytime you run ryujinx, the guid changes, i guess ryujinx uses a wrong guid to store in config file.

Every other emulators have a fix guid, that persists upon application restart. Ryujinx does not, which is the issue.
This definitely needs to be fixed.

Many emulators do not consider the crc part of the controller when saving/using guid, they replace this part with 0000, which is an easy fix for that.
