Description

Not sure if this is planned, but upstream has this feature, and RA has better audio latency than standalone, and there's no reason why RA wouldn't be able to map a guitar controller as-is (unless mapping an SG where the left button is permanently held down).

Research direction

The issue mentions upstream support, RetroArch (RA), guitar-controller mapping, and a possible SG left-button case, but names no files or tests. Start by comparing the upstream feature with the project's existing controller-mapping entry points. Done means guitar controllers map correctly, including the noted SG behavior, with appropriate validation.
