I forget if I ever shared this thing I made back in the day.
Gamecube controllers had X on the right, if you’re looking to fill in your graphic :)
After all these years. Finally, I have them all.
Interestingly, the Playstation one officially isn’t the letter X, it’s “Cross” according to Sony. But pretty much no one ever actually uses that name.
That makes a lot of sense. They just decided “screw it. Westerns read backwards so like yeah probably everything else is backwards too?”
My brain and muscle memory from childhood are so PlayStation-coded, that I’ll sometimes get tripped up using my XBone controller on PC and hit the wrong button when doing QTEs lol
The Microsoft layout being the standard messes me up every time. The SNES layout was seared into my brain 34 years ago. Sony’s is different enough that I don’t get confused.
TIC-80 has support for gamepads and keyboard. Some games say “Press X” as in the X button on the gamepad, while others refer to the
Xkey on the keyboard which in the default mappings send the B button input.It has caused lots of confusion
My mom plays PS1 games on RetroArch with an El Cheapo Bluetooth gamepad that has the Xbox layout. I have to explain the controls to her every time “Press X” or some such comes on the screen
Oh wow and here I thought it stood for Right Trigger and Right Button. I was like why does trigger looks like a button and button looks like a trigger…
