@AiZekas Emulation isn't illegal. Pirated ROMs are copyright infringement, but who's to say you aren't backing up your own games with something like a Retrode?
@Azuris But the angle between A and B on this (or a SNES gamepad for that matter) is far closer to what you get on a real Gameboy than B and Y is.
I guess what I'm saying is that if you had a problem with the layout on the original GB then fair enough, but for everyone who played thousands of hours on GB, GBC and GBA and had no problem with it, the default mapping here is much closer to the physical layout of those consoles than what you're proposing.
If your first love is SNES and you want your GB Mario games to play more like SNES games that's fine, you just seemed to be assuming everyone would want that. I think you're the exception rather than the rule.
@dimi It's 4:3, so GB(C) games will have small black bars on the left and right and GBA games will have small black bars on the top and bottom. The home consoles this plays were all meant for 4:3 TVs, so they shouldn't have black bars (unless you want square pixels in your SNES games, but they weren't really designed to look like that).
@Azuris Why on earth would you need to rebind A to B and B to Y for GB games? The A button on the GB is higher than and to the right of the B button, same as it is on this device. Sure it's a steeper angle here, but it's a lot closer to a real GB by default than your suggestion, which is nearly 90 degrees off.
I mean it's great that you can rebind them if that's what you want, but it's weird that you're talking about it as if it's something everyone is going to need to do.

Re: 8BitDo's C64 & NES-Style Retro Mechanical Keyboards Are Getting European Layouts
This is great news. I can't stand typing on a US layout, the return key trips me up.
