Description

This issue tracks our progress in establishing an authentic Atari controller configuration experience in Kodi.

The work was started in #5 (thanks @Heckie75!) and now I'm working with a forum user (see thread: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=376031) to create buttonmaps that use the original atari controllers instead of the default 360 controller.

Currently I'm mostly just using this issue for image hosting, so that I can upload screenshots and post them in the forum thread. Thank you github!

Bug report

Describe the bug

Unclear how to press special Atari buttons, i.e. Start, Select, Option, Reset and Help which are required to play most games

RetroArch Behavior

I played around with game.libretro.atari800 and loaded the retro game Boulder Dash. In order to start this game you need to press the Start button which was a special button on the right hand side of Atari 800XL computer. However, I couldn't find out which buttons on my PC keyboard or game controller are assigned to these buttons.

The buttons described here https://docs.libretro.com/library/atari800/ don't work.
