📄 Description

this adds a new config section to set the controller class to report to the game

[Input]
useSpecialPad = true
specialPadClass = 1

no GUI option currently but this lets you configure using e.g. a wheel or guitar

this should allow getting past the title screen in Guitar Hero Live (CUSA02410) as well as enabling more gameplay in Rock Band 4 (CUSA02901)

both of those games require additional patches to boot so i have not been able to test this specific branch in any game. since this makes behaviour closer to a PS4 it would be good to regression test other games to make sure they can still take inputs when useSpecialPad is set to false
