Steam hooks into the render pipeline of your game to do this and as such if nothing is being rendered (3D) then steam will see nothing and nothing will work. The controller will not activate any configuration other than desktop defaults if it does not detect that a game is running with the overlay enabled. YAY! Our beloved Dolphin has loaded up! Let's go! Wait for just a second, there are a few things you need to know before we proceed. Once you have done this go on ahead and launch dolphin. I highly recommend using the default gamepad binding's as a starting point, this guide will assume you have done this so if you haven't just hit X on the controller and select this from the list of pre-installed templates. Let's select our Dolphin shortcut and select manage shortcut and then configure the controller. Now it's time to start Dolphin! One thing to do before we actually start, though. If you encounter issues the steam controller forums are a good place to start.

I won't be going into detail here about how to install the controller as the process is mostly automated.

If you have a multi-monitor setup or need to have access to other apps while playing, this can be a more convenient way for some people. Alternatively, you can also access the steam controller configuration menus right from desktop mode without having to actually open BPM fully. If you like you can run BPM in a window by going to the setings in BPM and checking the 'start BPM windowed' checkbox under the interface section. Additionally, we will need to use Steam Big Picture Mode (Henceforth referred to as BPM) for any and all configuration as the interface for normal desktop steam is not available. This is because the Steam Controller uses the Steam client to do all the input device emulation and is fully required to use this controller in anything but a basic mouse style mode. Firstly we are going to need the steam client installed.
