Dreamcast emulator page error
-
Good day,
I do believe that the controller layout for the Reicast Dreamcast controller layout is incorrect. https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Dreamcast/
On the graphic of the controller, B and A are backwards, X and Y are backwards. This led to a very confusing attempt to map controllers.
Is this the proper forum to bring this up?

It's mapped to the retropad not the original controller.

The config for controller mapping in the Reicast config interface asks if you want to map buttons based off of the original controller button names, not the names of the buttons on the controller map located on the Reicast page.
This becomes a problem when the graphic on the Reicast page has a controller map with backwards buttons as you end up mapping buttons backwards. Either the Reicast mapping command prompt should change or the graphic needs to change to reflect the actual buttons. My vote is on the latter. The user must map the controller through the Reicast config prompts as none of the buttons work until you do so.
This is current as of 4.4 stretch.
The Reicast page also states that the controls are automatically configured as of 3.3. This is also false.
