Additional Notes
Note: Pipewire required for appimage. For Linux, pipewire is required for DualSense haptics.
For flatpak, you can run with --env=SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse to use pulse instead of pipewire if you really want that (doing this means DualSense haptics won't work)

Updates
- adds Controllers section to chiaki-ng settings which allows you to configure the mapping for your controller (especially nice for mapping Xbox and Switch controllers to PlayStation inputs) [Note: Controllers mapped via Steam should be mapped directly in the Steam UI gamepad configurator as opposed to this menu. If you try to map a controller that is mapped via Steam in this menu it will give you a notification that it should be mapped via Steam.]
