#1955 Button configurator

What request or enhancement tip do you have?

Ok, I'm pretty sure a lot of people came across this problem before, the thing is, the Wii has a lot of games that can be played using the Classic Controller Pro (or the non-Pro).
And... you can find a lot of those games on other consoles, like the PS2 and Gamecube.
Now the main problem is, the buttons are in completely different places in the CCP comparing with those other consoles! I found it especially horrible on Monster Hunter Tri and had to go back to the Wiimote + Numchuck combo.

I'd like to ask if it's possible to add a button configurator, so we can swap the keys to our taste in those particular games.
Heck, if the previous request\suggestion is possible, it would also be awesome to be able to assign rapid-fire buttons while you're at it.

That request is complicated and is not suitable for a loader. This can probably be done with Gecko codes.

This has nothing to do with the Usbloader, it is purely a game issue.

The Usbloader does only launching the game. Once it is launched the Usbloader is not any more in memory, son can not modify a game behavior.

Now that can't be true, if no part of the loader is not there at all, who's making the bridge between the iso in your NTFS partition with the console requests? There's always a very small portion of it always running in the background.

How much different would this be from a video patch, or a country patch, or an Ocarina cheat code... that's what I'd like to know; tho I can perfectly accept there is not enough interest in adding this or it's not suitable for this loader.

To make it more simple, what I was requesting\sugesting is on game launch, permanently swap "a" with "b" inputs or "2" with "+" or any other combination, except for the Home of course.

If there is another way to set this up already please let me know how to do it.

Video or country patch is patching a memory address in the RAM always at the same place.
Then usbloader is completely shut off, it's only the Wii memory and cIOS which make the "bridge" with usb and HDD. The loader is not running in the background at all.

The button mapping is different on every games, the same way as homebrew developers are coding the mapping differently.

Before remapping a game using the loader, you should see if you can remap a game by patching it manually, like applying translation patch.
Maybe it can be done on a game by game basis, but it's too much work and nobody will create these patch.

About remapping buttons in GX, it's addressed in issue 1767.
