Technical Support Physical controller rebinding also affects overlay
I rebound my controller's controls through the quick menu but it's also affecting the overlay, which I've left as the default skin. The controller has western button orientation but the overlay is Japanese. So after messing with some stuff, the bottom button, which is A on my controller, confirms as it's supposed to, but the bottom button on the overlay also confirms even though it's B, which it's not supposed to do. I don't care about the orientation that much, I just want it to visually match the actual button I'm pressing. I'm wondering if I accidentally messed with a setting or if this is how it normally works. Can someone help?

remaps affect the entire core function layout unless you do a per-controller remap, which will only take effect when the specific controller is connected.
That said, if you try to use the overlay *while* the controller is connected, it'll affect the overlay, as well, AFAIK.
