Checklist

I have searched for a similar issue in this repository and did not find one.

Description

when i was playing GRAVITY DAZE earlier when it asks you to load, the confirm button used the the game menu is ◯ but in the emulator's load menu it seems to be ⨉.
an option to have a per region default confirm/back button with a per game override would mostly fix this

Reason

it is slightly confusing

Examples

No response

I'm not sure if this is a good idea because few PlayStation games use ◯ to confirm

@Xphalnos that's why i said per region options with a per game override, i think ◯ to confirm is more common in japan

@rainmakerv3 It looks like this is the task for you. Apparently, you need to add a checkbox to "Face Buttons" (for gamepad) that will reconfigure the behavior of the cross and circle buttons.

I think this is because the Imgui menus somehow use different mappings from those that are affected by the remapping controls. I can try to look into it, but I'm not that knowledgeable about Imgui so we'll see

I managed to reproduce it. And I confirm the problem. In the folder with the installed emulator games, in my case (Gravity Rush) CUSA01113, there is a file args.txt it had line -region E in which I replaced the letter E to J. The game was in Japanese, and the control scheme was for Japan. But when I pressed Continue in Main Menu and menu Load appeared, clicking on the circle highlights button Back instead of loading the save.

I still haven't found who created these dialog boxes, but maybe it was @viniciuslrangel , sorry if I'm wrong. In general, these dialog boxes work well for the European region (and the USA), but they are not suitable for games in the Japanese region.

i saw this problem even on PS Vita (real device), playing japan games on EU(RU) console. Don't know why Sony changes buttons, Nintendo always a/b buttons the same on all regions
