I am using an 8bitdo Ultimate 2 Wireless in dinput mode and in certain games (Like Ghost of Tsushima, Spider-Man Remastered) Despite having an xbox layout on the controller and in game everything is mapped to what it would be on an xbox style layout, the in game button prompts list the wrong button. For example if the game shows a button prompt, let's say jump, it be mapped to the A button on my controller but show me the prompt for the B button.

Another issue I noticed is that the press R2 prompt for using items or getting on your horse doesn't show up period.

It's also an issue on windows, I believe it might be the devs having implemented SIAPI poorly, I think they assume the 8bitdo Ultimate 2 Wireless is a Switch Pro Controller perhaps 🤔
