Description

There are some joypad like atari 5200/intellivision/atari jaguar/atari 2600, etc whose have a keypad and buttons so there isn't sufficient slot for mapping all the buttons for the original joypad converted to usb for these devices.

Thanks in advance,
Have a good day,
Rgds,

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating RetroArch's joystick configuration and button-mapping code, then determine where the current mapping-slot limit is enforced.
