Describes the button input mappings shown in the Core Settings > Controls menu. Currently read-only.
By default, the Controls menu is loaded from:/Cores/AuthorName.CoreName/input.json
It is possible to have completely unique Controls menus for every single primary asset loaded by the core. APF will check in a specific location, generated from the very first data slot 0. If it is found, it will override the core’s existing input.json.
A per-asset Controls menu, if it exists, is loaded from:/Presets/AuthorName.CoreName/Input/<path_to_slot0_asset>.json
For example, with an primary asset loaded into data slot 0 with current path and filename of:/Assets/myplatform/common/subfolder1/asset.bin
APF will check for a JSON file mirroring the same folder structure, but in a different base folder:/Presets/AuthorName.CoreName/Input/myplatform/common/subfolder1/asset.json
