Replace the shell flow (raw evdev bytes, PNG prompts, reboot to apply) with gamepad_remapper, built on the Options Menu framework. It reads the Clovercon through SDL, so every binding uses the indices Canoe and Kachikachi see, lists the current mapping, remaps one button or all of them with skip-on-timeout, and applies on save by binding the new gamecontrollerdb.txt over /etc/sdl2, with no reboot. Restore defaults undoes it. The entry moves to Advanced Options > Controller. Build and release through hmod-build, with the Options Menu, toolchain and hmod-build submodules.
pad_mapper grabs each USB pad that has a map in inputs/pads/, translates its raw buttons, hats and axes, and injects them into the virtual Clovercon hakchi made for it, so games keep their player slots and the front pads are untouched. It sends Home on the pad's Down+Select when the Home Combo is on. The remapper now starts by picking the front ports or a USB pad by its real name, and captures USB pads raw.
pad_mapper falls back to inputs/profiles/<vendor>_<product>.map when a pad has no saved map, so a DualShock 4 works on plug-in (and the Xbox 360 profile, untested). Restore defaults on a USB pad goes back to its profile. The list and the last-capture line show button names (Cross, L1, D-Pad Up, the Clovercon button for front-port bindings) instead of raw codes. The readmes get screenshots of both views.
pad_mapper rebuilds its translators when a grabbed pad goes away, and the controller row trims the leading separator some pads put in their name.
Axis capture measures from the center, so D-pads reported as axes are detected, and PlayStation Classic buttons and D-pad are shown by name.
The DualShock 4 and PlayStation Classic profiles now use Triangle = X and Square = Y as well.

pad_mapper, a background service that translates USB pads into the virtual front-port controller, with per-model mappings and ready-made profiles (DualShock 4, PlayStation Classic, Xbox 360, Krom Kumite)pad_mapperis paused only while a button is being captured, so a USB pad can still navigate the menupad_mapperagainst the Options Menu's private libstdc++ (needed with RetroArch 1.8.4 Xtreme SC)Tested on the console with a DualShock 4, a wired Xbox 360 controller, a Krom Kumite stick and a Wii Classic Controller in the front port.
