[F-Req] Controller Emulation in lue of Direct Controller binding

Is this request related to a bug?

Not to my knowledge,

Describe the request.

I noticed that the gamepad config screen supports the DPAD mappings, which is what lead me to this idea

Since from what I have gathered directly binding a controller to the game is not feasible, why not create a middleman handler simular to how the launcher is now?

have an option to instead of Remap say BUTTON_A to KEY_SPACE, a toggle that is just "emulate mapping", where pojav exposes a emulated controller to the game. Which would allow controller support mods (such as controllify) to add support for pojav launcher's controller implementation.

Anything else?

Controlify uses a forked Native Library for interacting with controllers, and even has dedicated steamdeck controller support, making it by far one of the better controller support mods on the platforms (cf/mr), so much so that a semi-popular mod/modpack, legacy4j/Re-Console, has a option to use Xander's SDL library instead of the default one. Because it tends to work better.

Exposing a emulated controller, as stated above, would allow Xander and/or other modders to build a library/mod meant for interacting with pojav's emu-controller, which would allow for mod/modpacks like the one stated, to work on the go with controllers like the Backbone,
