Suggestion: Unify emulator hotkeys and make a steam deck controller profile

Open Lazorne opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Unified hotkeys: All the standalone emulators right now have different shortcuts for various tasks. Example: Close the program is diffrent in all standalone emulators.

If everyone was unified to the same keyboard shortcut let's say V Then RetroDECK could create a custom controller profile on the steamdeck and upload it mapped to some combination or backbuttons.

A unified profile what it could look like:

As a base "Gamepad with Mouse Trackpad"

  • Right trackpad as a mouse with press as left mouse click (this can be used in DS, Wii, WIIU, 3DS) as wiimote and stylus inputs.
  • Find common ground in all emulators for quitting the game and map it to a combination like RetroArch - Default Select + Start or L3 + R3. If the standaalone emulators does not support more then one input bid it to one of the back buttons.

Yes that's in in the working, however I am still not sure if the controller config can be updated after the publishing.
