DrEvil Posted Friday at 08:22 PM Posted Friday at 08:22 PM Hi All. I don't post much or do much shareable development. But there is a problem I am working on: PROBLEM: When running an emulated game for an old console, its hard to know which button does what on the original controller. Its not enough to map the A on your Xbox controller to the A from a Sega Saturn controller. You still don't know the function of A, at first. SOLUTION: Build a library of media files for LB that show the original controller with button function labels. I am automating the process and here are some sample outputs for a few Sega Saturn Games. My process is scalable and can probably handle any gamepad from any console. Its really pretty easy with Claude Code in PyCharm. The included images were generated without human editing. The only thing I manually edit is a beginning template layout of the controller buttons superimposed on a drawing of the original control, which is not specific to any game. What do you think? Does it already exist (other than for MAME)? Is it useful for others. If so, please give feedback on these prototype images. Quote
