Research direction

Locate the Saturn controller mapping documentation and the source for the linked controller image; compare the documented A/B/C mapping with the defaults reported for Beetle Saturn and Yabause. Update the documentation so it matches the current default configuration, then verify the displayed mapping against both cores.

Description

bug

Describe the bug
It seems the defaults have changed and no longer act as documented:

E.g. controller A, B, C buttons are now mapped to RetroPad B, A, R1 buttons (not Y, B, A as in image from docs)

Expected behavior/changes
Update documentation to match the new default configuration

Additional context
Checked with Beetle Saturn and Yabause cores
