Flycast Controller Setup

To set up your controls in Flycast, launch the emulator by opening Fightcade\emulator\flycast\fcadeflycast.exe and head to Settings -> Controls. Set your controller of choice to Port A. From there, press Map to open the Controller Mapping menu.

Select the Arcade button names checkbox to show the arcade button mapping. Inputs recognized as buttons can be assigned on the left hand side of the screen while inputs recognized as Axes are mapped on the right hand side.

The following is a sample mapping for XInput (XBOX 360) Controllers created by pokeshark on the Official Fightcade Discord. Note that the the triggers are on the right hand side, corresponding with analog axes.

This sample mapping aligns nicely with the default Rumble Fish 2 controls, with Button 3 / Heavy Punch corresponding with the Dodge button.
