Stronger Rumble than Real Hardware

[Sonen10]

Something that I noticed after a short bit of playing Unleashed Recompiled is how strangely strong the rumble was. With some further testing, I noticed that Xenia's default input mode matched closer to real Xbox 360 hardware compared to the Recomp's output. Trying both SDL and Xinput modes in Xenia and neither affected the rumble's strength the way the Recomp seems to have.

I trialed within Windmill Isle Act 1 by performing actions that would trigger a rumble reaction, including boosting, bouncing on a spring, running on dash panels, and jumping on the breakable pots before the first homing attack target.

Might be related to this line multiplying the rumble by 256 for some reason when Xenia doesn't do that: https://github.com/hedge-dev/UnleashedRecomp/blob/main/UnleashedRecomp/hid/driver/sdl_hid.cpp#L141

Please try builds from here and compare with the real hardware: https://github.com/hedge-dev/UnleashedRecomp/actions/runs/14265059687?pr=1513

The rumble in the linked build is closer to real Xbox 360 hardware than previous builds from my testing.

can reliably reproduce on 1.0.3 with both of my DualShock 3 controllers.

I am able to reproduce this bug by comparing the game running on both real hardware (Xbox 360 S) and the latest release of UnleshedRecomp, using a physical copy of the game (with TU installed, but no DLCs) and wired Xbox 360 controller. I haven't tested #1513 yet because the linked artifacts have long since expired, so I need to wait for the PR to compile on my own machine.

Edit: Finished compiling the latest version from main, changing one line to match the changes #1513 makes, and the rumble is already way better than before from less than 5 minutes of testing. Makes me wonder why rumble output was being multiplied by 256 in the first place?
