Notes
Adding hexadecimal values together causes multiple buttons to be usable for a single action (i.e. 0x00016000 will make the B button, X button, and Z trigger all cause the same action). This suggests that the translation of controller input to in-game actions is done with bitwise operator masking.
The values in the table above match the values found at 0x80495d18 when controller input is given.
Parameter 0x08 only functions when set to the same button as parameter 0x00.
This file does not control:
- Any menu navigation whatsoever
- The radar screen (Y Button)
- Moving Olimar (Control Stick)
- Swarming pikmin (C-Stick)
- Camera controls (L, R, and Z triggers)
- Interacting with Onion nor SS Dolphin spotlights (A button)
- Pausing the game (Start button)
- Laying down (D-Pad)
