Description

Description

Mouse and lightgun controls are not displayed or remappable in the Quick Menu.

Expected behavior

Here's what I would expect to see:

Research direction

Start by locating the Quick Menu input-remapping entry point and compare how RetroPad controls are displayed and handled against the libretro mouse and lightgun abstractions. Done means both device types appear in the Quick Menu and their controls can be remapped consistently with RetroPad controls.
