Retroarch remap keyboard download#

It's not really necessary for this particular purpose but if digital to analog remapping would be implemented then the issue would indeed become moot.To download cores for your chosen platform - be it N64 or Commodore 64 - head over to the far left icon (Main Menu) in Retroarch, select Load Core > Download Core then select the ones you want.ДЇor reference, here are the cores we think work best for each major platform, taking into account performance and accuracy (there are plenty of other platforms you can get cores for - these are just the biggies). So, if 2:1 mappings were implemented, the issue would be moot, as such hotkey swap functionality could (and should) be implemented as an optional setup, rather than a hard-coded compromise.ДЄNOTHER way of solving the issue #3670 would be allowing digital to analog mapping, essentially saying 'hey, forget all this stuff about hotkey swapping, just remap your face buttons to the (hacky) analog stick->c-button mappings.' This could work, but it's applying a pretty big hammer to a tiny problem.

To be clear, the compromise here (I think), is that the lack of 2:1 mappings do not allow retroarch to offer a separate 'c-button up' to the user when the c-button is also attached the hotkey swap functionality 'a-button (c-button up)' (please correct me if I'm incorrect on this point). In fact, the secondary swap functionality can be included in the primary core input, because they will have no function unless a user sets the swap button anyway. But something like hotkey swapping could be implemented by the new 2:1 mapping feature as discussed above, where certain cores are configured to send a 'hotkey swap' button in addition the core inputs, and then the hotkey swap functions ('e.g., A-button (C-button Up)') are presented as additional core inputs for the user to select (on the right side). That is more of a power-user option anyway.

In my opinion, separate buttons for n64 should be the default, whereas any hotkey-swapping sort of things should be optional. We have a retropad, and it has tons of buttons and certainly enough to handle the c-buttons on an n64 controller. Really, the c-buttons probably should not be compromised to a hotkey setup as they are now at such a low level.

One way of approach the issue in #3670 is to 'fix' analog to digital mapping and vice-versa, but that's going down a rabbit hole as you mentioned. But let's not lose sight of the fact that n64 c-button is not analog (gamecube is, but that's not the case here.) So retroarch compromises and sets a hotkey to swap the ABXY on the controller face to the c-buttons, as well as offers analog functionality. Other users want to use the right analog stick. To be clear, what I have gathered on this issue is that n64 input is a compromise: some users would like to execute the c-buttons on, for example, an x-box 360 pad, which only has 4 face buttons. The buttons on an n64 controller are not analog buttons. Issue #3670 is not really an analog-to-digital mapping issue. I don't know how could we represent the data to make it work. Seems like a great addition from the image you showed.ДЄs for analog to digital remapping which was mentioned in #3670 the problem is that each axis on the analogs is composed of two variables, analog stick index and the value (left stick, X for instance). I didn't really follow this, but you mean mapping Retropad to keyboard buttons, for games that use keyboard as input on DosBOX, etc.? If that's right, wouldn't this be gamepad to keyboard remapping? Or am I misunderstanding it? (not being pedantic, it's just unclear to me). It doesn't allow keyboard to gamepad remapping It would need a toggle at the end of the core-provided inputs for 'Delete this remap button' that removed the 'Retropad Y' line. : Retropad Y', and pressing A adds a line with Retropad Y, and pressing it again adds a second line with Retropad Y? Then select down to the newly added Retropad Y (on the left side), and toggle between core inputs? LIke 'Retropad Y : Button A'. I think you mean like a toggle here so you have 'Add Retropad Remap.

This seems like the best option for 2:1 mapping. Maybe remapping should present us an empty list instead, and we can then add a 'RetroPad button' and then a coresponding 'Core Mapping', then we could add said 'RetroPad button' more than once with a different 'Core Mapping'
