As technology became more complex, the games, too, became more complex, and this required the controller to become more complex as well. Life is not as simple as pressing one button. There must be a range of actions available for there to be immersion. However, as a controller gets too complex, the mapping can become unclear. Nintendo tried to alleviate this with the Wiimote, while Sony and Microsoft just made incremental improvements. However, the Wiimote, being something almost entirely different which may have alienated “core” gamers who were used to the gamepad, did attract a new generation of gamers, dubbed casual gamers (McWhertor, 2008). If we are to believe that a more natural mapping is the essence of a well-designed game controller, then the future of the game controller is not incremental improvements. Only time will tell what it really is.

The Hotkey button enables you to press it in combination with another button to access functions such as saving, loading, and exiting in emulators. It is suggested to use the Select button as the hotkey. The following chart shows the default hotkey combinations. For example, if you chose Select as your Hotkey, that means you hold down Select while pressing the other button to execute the command. Multiplayer requires one compatible controller per player. Additional controllers (sold separately) may be required.Edwards, Benj (June 6, 2020). "How the Gravis PC GamePad Transformed PC Gaming in the '90s". How-To Geek . Retrieved August 13, 2020.

I feel like I'm one of the few who actually loved the Virtual Console. I always supported it and never once said it should be abandoned. For years, most online seemed like they hated it. Well, they got their wish. gcunit all of my Megadrive and Saturn controllers work perfectly to this day so I'd say there are no durability issues with the designSave a Core Input Remap in the same manner as Core Input Remapping, with User 1 Device Type and User 2 Device Type set to MD Joypad 6 Button. lr-picodrive For example, suppose the "A" button on a USB SNES controller has a value of "1." When setting up the controller, EmulationStation would prompt you to press the "A" button on your controller. Pressing the "A" button would then record into the config file as input_a_btn = "1", so RetroArch will know that the "A" button on your physical controller corresponds to the "A" button on RetroArch's virtual controller, the RetroPad. Therefore, the next time you play a game such as Super Mario Bros. pressing the "A" button will tell RetroArch to press the "A" button on its RetroPad, causing Mario to jump. If you accidentally pressed the "B" button with a value of "2" during setup when it prompted for "A," then it would be recorded into the config file as input_a_btn = "2", so if you want to jump in Super Mario Bros., you would have to press "B" on your controller.
