Can't Map sticks to buttons?

The core specific input (core input options) does not allow mapping the analog sticks to any buttons, it only gives me the option to map buttons to the dpad. I can change the input in the normal settings menu but changing it everytime for a different game is not ideal, is there any way to map the sticks in the core input options?

Yes it’s a known limitation of the system.

Thanks for the clarification, hope that feature gets implemented in the future.

Strange,I can use analog mapping just fine on my keyboard with the Mupen64Plus core…unless he meant mapping a real analog stick to the analog directions.

No he means core input remapping
