Something like this?

acceleration_x_leftrepeat 2mp_triple_puff
acceleration_x_rightrepeat 3mp_triple_puff
Is this for playstation or Nintendo Switch?   XBox does not have acceleration sensor outputs.

If you need to wiggle the right or left analog joystick outputs, the same kind of repeats at two different rates controlling the opposite directions of the same axis will do that.   Steamy Biscuit discovered this trick.

If it is that config you were sharing on the other thread, this will prevent it from working:

enable_DS3_emulation3value
XBox emulation (3) does not have motion outputs.

You need to be in native Switch emulation, 5, or in DS4 emulation, 7 + an adapter that will pass motion.

I have only tested Switch with motion using emulation 5.

Do I need an adapter using emulation m ode 5?  Or an adapter for emulation mode 7? Or did you mean I need an adapter connected for both modes? I have a Titan 2 but I need to dig it out of the closet. I also have a cronus zen but I screwed something up and am having trouble restoring it to factory settings so I gave up trying to mess with it months ago. Don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

Emulation mode 5 is for the original Nintendo Switch.

For the Nintendo Switch 2 an adapter is needed, like a Brook Wingman NS Lite.  If motion controls are required, use USB mode 7 in place of 5, which is Dual Shock 4 mode.
