Where do I put SDL_GameControllerDB.txt? #1683

Bug Description

My understanding is this emulator uses SDL2 and this should be possible. Or is this not supported?

Expected Behavior

Most emulators you can put it either in the emulator's directory or its config directory and it would allow you to add new controllers for use.

I believe you can place the file anywhere, and specify the path with the environment variable SDL_HINT_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG_FILE

Is that a command line thing?

You can do it through the GUI if you wish https://www.redswitches.com/blog/environment-variables/#method-1-set-environment-variables-through-the-gui

I don't really want to mess with my overall system settings and perhaps break something. Is there not a default directory that this program looks at?

Edit: I tried it. Doesn't work anyways. Same file I used with Ryujinx and Duckstation.
