[briaguya-ai]

the first time i connected it I

• started the game with adapter plugged into the computer, controller turned off
• had a fresh json
• turned on the controller using the button
• immediately saw

with a fresh json, when starting the game with the controller already connected i saw

it's not clear what's going on here, so here's an issue to document findings and hopefully figure some stuff out

I'm noticing in your first screenshot it appears as 8BitDo Ultimate Wireless Controller, and in your second screenshot it appears as 8BitDo Pro 2 Wired Controller. So add the Switch Pro Controller and I'm seeing 3 different ways this controller has appeared on your system.

For myself, the way it usually goes is:

1. I get a new build of SoH for whatever reason (testing a PR, new release, Anchor build, etc.)
2. I connect the controller, boot up SoH, configure it with my preferred control scheme
3. Things work normally until the controller disconnects for some reason (idles, I manually disconnect it, etc.)
4. It appears both with my manual configuration and as a second controller with the default configuration. I only notice when menu navigation acts like I'm hitting B when I hit A.
5. I manually remove the extra controller mappings.
6. After that I never manage to repro the issue, it always connects correctly after that.

I'll add screenshots if I manage to repro the issue again in the future.

Worth noting, this controller can get firmware updates which I completely forgot about, and 1.0.2 has a changelog entry of "Optimized the accuracy of system identification". I have updated my controller so we'll see if this issue ever resurfaces after that.
