Swap A and B in the menu (Nintendo Switch)

[locksoft]

First of all great, great app! I love Diablo 1 and it's wonderful being able to play it again on my Switch. <3

I've seen that all in game buttons can be personalized in the [Padmapping] section of Diablo.ini. However I'd like to have the same thing for the main menu. On the Switch A is main option and B is cancel, so I'd like to have the same, as I always confuse and do the opposite in the menu and while talking with NPCs in town. Is it possible?

Thanks. :)

It would be a best practice not only to offer the option, but also to make it the default on the Switch to match the system's standards.

@locksoft not sure if you are aware of this, but you can also remap buttons in the Switch system itself. This could be a temporary workaround for you, depending on your usage scenario.

[locksoft]

Yes, I know, thanks. But it only works "in game". It has no effect on the menu.

@locksoft I think you misunderstood my comment. You should be able to remap the Switch's native buttons in the Switch system menu. I'm not talking about the button remapping that DevilutionX offers.

The one configured at the system level, in the controllers menu, applies globally.

Ahhh... sorry, clear now. :)
Hmmm... Nice idea, but too complex: then I'll be ok with Diablo and mad about all other Switch software. :D
But thanks. :)

In the diablo.ini config file you can overwrite the controller mapping for the game:

[Controller]
Mapping=

This is a bit of a workaround, for one thing I'm not sure what the default value should be for the switch controller. We do intent to try and correct it by the time 1.6.0 rolls out, but that could be a while.

[locksoft]

Thanks, but how exactly to use it?
The Wiki says about a SDL_CONTROLLERCONFIG mapping file, and it should be created connecting a controller to the PC. But I'm using Switch controllers, I'm not sure about what to do.
Thanks.

I made a fork to swap A/B behavior in menus (also X/Y in quest log, spellbook and character deletion) just for a Switch build. It's not a good solution because it is still hard-coded, and breaks support with other platforms/controller layouts. But it might be turned into a user-customizable "Swap A/B in menus" option.

Sorry, I was referring to the sound issue that was brought up in the post previous to mine. I should have been more clear.

The one I’ve shown is the last stable version (1.5.2).

[Nephiel]

I'm glad that sound issue seems fixed, but it was completely unintentional, just a happy accident. Nothing sound-related was changed in the source. But I did use dkp-pacman to update dev libraries before building, as per the Switch build instructions. Maybe that was fixed in those at some point after the 1.5.2 release?

Do you have the same audio options (resample rate, buffer size, resampler...) configured in both cases?

Do you have the same audio options (resample rate, buffer size, resampler...) configured in both cases?

Yes, I made a copy of the game folder and saved your binary inside. So it should have the same settings.

[Nephiel]

The fork was based on master 1.6.0-dev at 112e113 so that must have been fixed at some point between release 1.5.2 at 7ea7124 and 112e113. Either in master source, or in the libraries used for the Switch build.

[locksoft]

It could be. I tested a 1.6.0 beta some time ago and it had the same audio issue, but I can’t find a link to try the last version now (I’ll never learn how to navigate the GitHub website properly). :)
