Control Mapping for dualshock 3 (RetroPie)

[Concat]

After doing some reading on the github page, I see that the controls in the PPSSPP UI are hardcoded and the mappings set by the user are ignored except for in game.

Seems they did this so that the user doesn't get themselves into a situation where they have cleared the mappings and made it all but impossible to fix it. What's frustrating is that the end result is the same for me! When I do map it, I get constant keyup input being registered... which makes it impossible to fix Have to force the emu to close in putty, and then delete the controls.ini file.

Well, if anyone has any solutions... I'm all ears. Only thing I can think of is a script to run joy2key or something.
