Why do some games from the app store not work with my Vagabond?Updated 2 months ago

Last Updated: February 9, 2025 

Some games may not work correctly with the ELO Vagabond if they do not support Android HID (for Android version) or have standard controller support. To resolve this issue, you can contact the game developer and request standard Android controller support. Test the controller in another game or program to rule out potential app-specific issues.

ELO Unleashed has a Virtual Controller feature that allows you to add controller support to touchscreen games on your mobile device. Here's how to use the Virtual Controller:

  1. Download and install the ELO Unleashed application on your mobile device.
  2. Launch the ELO Unleashed app.
  3. Open “Settings” and enable “Virtual Touch mapper”.
  4. Go to “Installed Apps…” and navigate to your preferred game.
  5. Make sure that the Virtual Touch Mapper option is toggled on at the bottom of the ELO Unleashed app.
  6. If prompted for additional permissions, allow the needed permissions.
  7. Once the game is open, tap the Virtual Touch Mapper on the top of your screen.
  8. Press the plus button to move and map the virtual controls.
  9. You can move and edit your virtual joysticks, buttons, and keys depending on your preference.
  10. Once you are done configuring the Virtual Touch mapper, press the check button to save the changes.

Summary:

  1. Some games don't support controller input
  2. Use the ELO Unleashed app's Virtual Controller to add support for touchscreen games
