      until now i used a standard xbox 360 controller but i'm now switching to my wii u pro controller. problem is that button names are completly different on the wii u pro controller.

      for example the "A" button on the xbox controller is the "b" button on the wii u controller and vice versa. same goes for x/y.

      if i configure the wii u controller after the button names all my controls in game are wrong and if i map it like a standard xbox controller the on screen button info in emulationstation doesn't fit the controller.

      so is there a way of switching the A/B and X/Y buttons via some config file or something?

      i hope somebody understands the problem :). if someone has an idea, let me know.

      cheers
      tim

        @tifsmo Hi Tim.

        You made a mistake configuring your 360 pad according to button names. The documentation clearly states that you should follow a SNES mapping ...

          yes you're right. that fixes everything in game.

          the only nuance left is that the controller button info at the button of the screen in emulationstation isn't "correct" anymore. for example emulationstation says "press a to launch the game" and the correct button on the the wii u controller is "b".

          thats why i'm looking for a solution to switch the "a/b" and "x/y" buttons in emulationstation only.

            nevermind the "x/y" buttons. they seem to be correct. it is really just the "a/b" buttons in emulationstation i'd like to switch.

            i remember that there was a config option in retropie for exactly that. but i can't seem to find anything similar in any config file.

                abs_dpad_x = 16
                abs_dpad_y = 17
                reverse_x = false
                reverse_y = true
                reverse_rx = false
                reverse_ry = true
                reverse_dpad_x = false

                btn_thumbr = 318
                btn_tl = 310
                btn_tr = 311
                btn_tr = 311
                btn_tr2 = 313
