I'm trying to play the alters and I'm running into an issue where I am unable to use  either mp_center_sip_soft or  mp_center_puff_soft to press RB/R1 to be able to sprint. I can use other soft sips or puffs for other controls, but not the control I want to use. Has anyone else run into this issue or know why this is happening?

I've also noticed that when I hit  right_puff_soft sometimes to open the menu it makes a noise in the game like it's doing something but the menu doesn't open and other times it does work. I forgot to mention, but the game profile doesn't have a number in the spot for enabling DS3 emulation and in QMP I have only have the dual shock 4 emulation selected.

None of these questions can be answered without looking at the specific spreadsheet.   Did I miss an earlier post with the link?

What input is mapped to any given output, and what output function is used could be anything.

Yes that is the game and I am playing it on steam. This is the game profile. I am using currently.  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1K0rheP9G4D1Fp0x97ofBivn5qdVM6NEoUpvtc15TJI4/edit?usp=sharing

Greater_than does not play well with other functions.  It always takes over.

right_1greater_than 95up
right_1normalmp_center_sip_soft


Columns which must remain blank contain text:

Columns D through J must be blank if they are not used for pattern recognition.

I can understand the whole greater than issue, I was having that issue when I didn't have any input in column C for that input. I left the input for the greater than empty and had the 2nd R1 input as either center sip soft or center puff soft. Also, I don't ever remember putting any inputs for columns D through J. I don't ever remember putting in any inputs for pattern recognition as I have never used it but hopefully it will solve the problem by deleting those inputs on the profile. I will triad out tomorrow and see if it helped. Thank you for your help

I think Google Sheets copy/paste sometimes goes haywire.   The values that were copied in there seemed to have been accidentally pasted.

I loaded that config into a quadstick and could see that row was not working right and then expanded the widths of the unused input columns and could then see that random text was pasted in those cells.

It also could be because I created a copy of a different game profile which may have started as a copy of someone else's profile for another game. I've never really had this issue with any other games that I can think of though.
