7 months ago My concern is that I would have to repeat the custom controller code, since the D-pad mappings and analog trigger click adjustments are specific to certain games. Does this offer advantages over the teal build? The only one I can think of right now is that it could let us keep both Xbox 360 controller support and Nunchuk support in the same build, but I'm not sure I want to maintain two sets of game-specific checks in the source code (or add other checks inside of those checks for which type of build it is, since that would make the code harder for me to read).
The advantage of the gray build, in my eyes, is that every visual instruction in a game to press a certain button maps directly to a button on the controller with that name, but perhaps I'll add a compiler setting to swap the front and back shoulder button mappings in the gray build - the code specific to the gray build is currently very small, maybe even smaller than the Nintendont default shoulder button code that it replaces.
The gray build does include the 255/255 thing, that's what fixed #13.

I was thinking about what is effectively a gray build but with some of the basic quality-of-life improvements, specifically...
My rule of thumb was that, if it's a QOL tweak that applies to at least 3 different games, then it probably should be included in this "half-gray half-teal" build.
In terms of actual color name choices to pick from, perhaps refer to:
The ones that seem to be a "half-gray half-teal" (not including "gray teal" and "teal blue" for obvious reasons) are:
And honestly, of those, viridian might be the only one that could even work since most of the others are existing adjectives (dull, dusty) or existing nouns (bayou, cadet, hooker), and viridian is obviously notable to Nintendo players due to Viridian City.
However, if one were to make an Xbox 360-enabled version of this, then "viridian" would actually be a much more appropriate name for that, in which case my second choice for a half-gray half-teal build would probably be "cadet".
...but at the same time, there are more well-known colors like "mint" that could be an even better choice for "half-gray half-green" than even "viridian", so I don't know—I'm not a professional digital artist.
Furthermore, a color like "mint" might actually be more appropriate for a variation of grey that has no changes other than adding Xbox 360 controller support.
