6. Translating Kodi controller to libretro's "RetroPad"

Unfortunately, libretro uses a fixed controller (called the RetroPad) for all of its cores, instead of a separate controller per system like Kodi. Therefore, each core needs a map of how its Kodi controller translates to the RetroPad.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<buttonmap>
    <controller id="game.controller.nes" type="joypad">
        <feature name="a" mapto="a"/>
        <feature name="b" mapto="b"/>
        <feature name="start" mapto="start"/>
        <feature name="select" mapto="select"/>
