Ps3 controller maps both R1 and L2 to Pad1.b5

[coffeebird]

Game or games this happens in

none

What area of the game / PPSSPP

At control mapping screen. Official Sony Dual Shock 3 PS3 controller plugged into USB or Bluetooth. Control mapping for either R1 or L2 returns the same input of Pad1.b5

Effectively mapping both bottons to 1 input with no way to distinguish them.

PSP of course doesn't have R2 or L2 but I'd like to use these for custom mappings

What should happen

Should be able to map R1 and L2 as their own respective inputs

Running the windows version through lutris, R1 and L2 are mapped as x360.R1 and x360.TriggerL+ respectively

Update: I seem to have solved it by replacing the gamecontrollerdb.txt with one form github.

I couldn't find wherever the ppsspp assets folder is located in the flatpak version so I installed the one from my repo and replaced the gamecontrollerdb.txt in usr/lib/ppsspp/assets and that seemed to work.

L2 and R1 respective mappings

Reopening, we should at least copy the relevant line

[coffeebird]

Sure thing.
