How Do I Fix A and B Button Mix-Up on NES Games Using Emudeck?

-

I recently started using Emudeck on my Steam Deck to play NES games, but the controls feel off — specifically, the A and B buttons are swapped, which messes with the gameplay. I’ve looked around but can’t figure out how to switch them back to normal. Can someone guide me on how to remap or fix the button configuration for NES games in Emudeck?

Hey! Usually, the button layouts are handled by the emulator settings within Emudeck. Each NES emulator might have its own controller config, so first check the controller settings for the specific emulator you’re using. You can remap buttons there to swap A and B back to what feels right.

Thanks! But how can I tell which NES emulator Emudeck is actually using? There seem to be several installed, and I’m not sure where to start.
