Update though - My Switch Pro Controller randomly started working for it. After a bit of fumbling, I finally got it to work 90%. One bbig problem though - the dpad won't work. At first I thought this was another glitch, but I genuinely don't think there is dpad support natively for this game, meaning I have to go back to the controller driver solution because the game is borderline unplayable for me with the analog stick.

I'm going to keep fooling around with "Enjoyable" and try to mock a keyboard, as it seems to be the best way to do this.

Bleh, analog is absolutely fine, the game even supports it to some extent. The only Metroids I dislike playing on analog stick are the GBA ones.

I gave it a shot, but it's utterly unenjoyable to me. I didn't even mind the circle pad controls as much as this. Too much travel time between inputs.

Disclaimer, I don't own a Mac and I haven't used one in about 15 years.

First, the dpad issue is the same for me too on the Dualshock 4, however using the Xbox One controller both the analog stick and dpad work just fine. So if you want to use the dpad you'll probably have to find a program that can emulate XInput (Xbox) controllers or just use a Xbox controller.

Second, I've looked online about controller support with Wine and overall it seems support is poor. You might have some luck if you can manage to find the wrapper for AM2R and installing various programs to get it running, but again you'll also probably need a XInput emulator so... good luck? Honestly it's probably just easier to bootcamp Windows and play it that way but if you're fine with playing with the analog sticks that's probably the easiest option.

Ooo okay, I'll try that. I'm definitely not fine with analog controls. I didn't try my XBO controller because I think you need to wire it for it wo work. I'll see what I can do.
