Classic Controller Button Mapping on Cheat Menu

[Former user]

Original issue 377 created by ciaranmccarthy1 on 2014-05-09T20:36:28.000Z:

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Load a rom
2.Select "Cheat" from the main menu
3.Press + or - buttons on Classic Controller

What is the expected output? Enable/Disable selected cheat.

What do you see instead? Buttons are unresponsive, corresponding buttons on the connected Wii remote are mapped to this function instead. L and R buttons appear to be mapped on Classic Controller to carry out this function. Can this function be mapped to the Classic Controller buttons in a future revision please? I managed to delete some cheats from the pat file by pressing the wrong buttons.

What version of the emulator are you using (official, SVN revision,...)? Latest official version 1.7.4.

Please provide any additional information below (Emulator settings, Console
setting,...) Classic Controller selected as input method emulating Megadrive 6 button pad. Working fine for all games and GUI navigation.

Indeed, Classic Controller +/- buttons are not mapped in GUI.
On the Wiimote, those buttons are mapped as left/right trigger keys, normally used for fast ROM browsing only but I forgot about this use case in cheat menu.

Thanks for taking a look at it, would it be possible to add a confirmation pop up to prevent deleting cheats by accident?

Delete selected cheat? Yes No (default)
