I own a wired PowerA Switch Controller I've tried to get to work with Nintendont. It works with HIDtest, but not nintendont.
I looked far and wide, made my own .ini, used a config for this controller and I even made sure to name it with the VID and PID and put it in the controllers folder on my usb.
I am completely stuck on what to do next, so if anyone could figure out what is wrong that would be great.

this is the box of the one I have specifically.

I vaguely remember that you have to name the file controller.ini and place it on the root of your SD card
 
I believed it needed to be named based on the VID and PID, but i will check that out quickly.

Try the attached one, but modify VID & PID data to your needs.

Keep in mind that this one is for a Power A PS3 wired controller.

I'll try using this as well, any idea if what you said earlier is how I have to make it work?

yeah just change the file name to controller.ini and place it at the root of your sd card
 
UPDATE: I finally decided to see if it just couldn't read the ini by using HID test, it does recognise it, but allegedly "the configuration is not for this device" I can still press buttons and move the sticks and it reacts accordingly, just with that line of text. Now I really have no idea what is wrong.

from that, the other errors are fixed but the "this config is not for this device" text is still there and it still doesn't work.
