I'm trying to play Dark Souls III. The game runs fine, but the problem is that when I try to start playing, none of the buttons on the controller work—whether I'm using on-screen controls or an external controller. The strange thing is that in the game menu, both the buttons and the joysticks work perfectly fine; the issue only happens when I actually try to play. This has only happened to me with this game; the others I have work fine, and if I run Dark Souls on WinLator, I don’t have any issues with the controls. I have a Galaxy S26 Ultra.

I'm new to emulation and I've tried several configurations I've seen on Reddit, Discord, and YouTube, but it's not working well. I want to emulate Resident Evil 4 Remake on my Galaxy S26 Ultra. When I configure it, I only get 10 to 15 FPS. I've modified it in every way possible, trying emulators like Winlator CMOD, GameNative, and GameHub Lite and non-Lite, even the new beta version 6.0. I can run other games, but not this one. I have a cooler to keep the phone cool, but nothing works. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
