Subject: [PATCH] 3DS: add circle pad support for scrolling and navigation
 (Olivier Senn)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Map the circle pad to directional buttons, giving an alternative
input method to the D-pad. Uses a deadzone of 64 to prevent
unintended movement from minor stick drift.

💘 Generated with Crush

Assisted-by: Crush:deepseek-v4-pro

Edited by Vencislav Atanasov: Fixed KEY_SELECT handling.
