messControls.csv: Remove BBC Micro default controller bindings

[ben-willmore]

The default bindings only work with a few games (none if you have a US keyboard layout), and conflict with the rest. More details in issue #10395

Haven't tested properly yet, but it seems like MAME has its own default mapping. Adding ours breaks everything down. Something similar to light gun controls on libretro-MAME078Plus.

However here, both core and standalone have messed up controls (keyboard and joystick).

This is lot of testing and discussion to find the right default mapping.

[ben-willmore]

There is no valid default mapping -- different games use different keys and it does not make sense to permanently map controller buttons to one set of keys.

I am confused about references (now deleted?) to M-1000 and MP-1000, which is a 1970s US games console. I am referring to the Acorn BBC Micro, which is a home computer which did not ship with a controller/gamepad. The default batocera configuration is to map gamepad buttons to a selection of keyboard keys, which are appropriate for some games, but cause problems with double keypresses in many others. Since the original hardware did not have a gamepad of any kind, this mapping seems inappropriate to me, and also makes it impossible to play many games.

I wrote in the wrong thread. I had two thread opened for very similar reason. My bad.

Does this mean that the entries will get removed in a future release? I just got my Retroid Pocket 5 up and running and with the custom.sh script that @ben-willmore supplied to remove the BBC entries in /usr/share/batocera/configgen/data/mame/messControls.csv before game launch, I can now run all my games perfectly, with my pad2key settings. Just tested Airwolf - now works completely as expected. Also played Chuckie Egg. Great fun. Airwolf always had interference previously.
