Button mapping

[BenoitCaron]

Hi,

I'm sure different people like different mappings. I don't really like the default mapping - do you think per user remapping could be done? Perhaps using the touch screen to assign controls?

Regards

Easiest thing is to edit the code and recompile.

It should be fairly self explanatory,

if you wanted to map e.g. left trigger as 'X' then

    if (kDown & KEY_X)
        pad->button |= L_TRIG;

|= is effectively append. All the button definitions can be found here

Thanks for the reply. I'll give it a try, though I've never compiled the project before and don't know if I'll be able to (Mac).

Just jump on the https://discord.gg/7bcNTPK if you have any problems 👍

Okay I did it! Still wish this was available for people without technical knowledge :)

Great work :) what layout did you change to?

Z button on the left shoulder button, as muscle memory makes me use my left index finger, camera view point on the right shoulder button, punch on Y, jump on B to mimic the N64 layout. Also punch on A and jump on X to have the reverse settings available in case my girlfriend prefers it this way, as they are unused otherwise.

static void controller_3ds_read(OSContPad *pad) {
    hidScanInput();
    u32 kDown = keysHeld();
    if (kDown & KEY_START)
        pad->button |= START_BUTTON;
    if (kDown & KEY_L)
        pad->button |= Z_TRIG;
    if (kDown & KEY_R)
        pad->button |= R_TRIG;
    if (kDown & (KEY_B | KEY_X))
        pad->button |= A_BUTTON;
    if (kDown & (KEY_Y | KEY_A))
        pad->button |= B_BUTTON;
    if (kDown & (KEY_DLEFT | KEY_CSTICK_LEFT))
        pad->button |= L_CBUTTONS;
    if (kDown & (KEY_DRIGHT | KEY_CSTICK_RIGHT))
        pad->button |= R_CBUTTONS;
    if (kDown & (KEY_DUP | KEY_CSTICK_UP))
        pad->button |= U_CBUTTONS;
    if (kDown & (KEY_DDOWN | KEY_CSTICK_DOWN))
        pad->button |= D_CBUTTONS;

    circlePosition pos;
    hidCircleRead(&pos);
    pad->stick_x = pos.dx / 2;
    pad->stick_y = pos.dy / 2;
}

Not sure if you want to close this or leave it open until controls are configurable?

It's not much work to incorporate the configfile.h/c stuff which means you can then use a txt file to change controls to whatever you want (well, buttons, the analogue stick is still going to be the analogue stick!).

@Gericom LMK if you want me to raise a PR for the changes.

Well I suppose I don't have an issue with the controls anymore, but this is still not user friendly as is, for people who have absolutely no knowledge in programing?
