Retroarch, lightgun games, add reload input in controller settings

Open AngeloScipione opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

I miss the possibility to assign reload action to a button in controller mode. I know in these lightgames you must shoot outside the screen to reload. However, It's good add a way to use a pedal or something likes this in your gaming setting.

For example, with a dolphin bar use some cool accesories like a western shotgun.

The virtual RetroaArch gamepad, a.k.a RetroPad, doesn't have a reload button. Only the RetroArch lightgun has one.

I need to check about this. Please, don't close the issue until the weekend.

Thank you for waiting.

I checked my version of Windows (The House of the dead 2). Button 1 is shoot action and Button 2 is reload. Image of settings screen:

I did some test with linux (The House of the dead 2). I have discovered that we have a trigger action that you can set in another button. However, reload is not an option to set in another button and activate when you press B (xbox 360 pad). Image of settings screen:

In another core, Final Burn Neo, and game, lethal enforcers, we have "button 1" to shoot and "button 2" to reload. Image:

I think It's a good feature the posibility to change reload to another button.
