BTW, I assume you're going to create a guide for everything necessary or additionally beneficial for controller addons. It looks like the ones on github all have a layout.xml and a addon.xml, but they also include various other images, and I'm not sure what purpose each image type serves.

check out game.controller.snes. at minimal, we need addon.xml, a basic list of buttons and their strings

I haven't hammered down the final schema yet (hopefully by today or tmrw) so some effort will be wasted if we start on these before the schema is finalized
