Description

Emulators such as SNES9x and PCSX2 lay out their controller binding options in the shape of the controller, or include a small diagram showing button layout.
More modern emulators, including Dolphin, could benefit from a similar visual aid. Maybe an SVG diagram for the Wiimote/Nunchuk buttons layout too.

Because Nintendo puts their face buttons in a different order to Microsoft, a little icon / diagram within the controller settings GUI would remind users of the actual GameCube controller layout, and help with binding to their non-Nintendo controllers. It doesn't need to light up with button presses, just be a useful on-screen reminder.

A few mockups attached: The first one (face buttons only) would be the simplest and most elegant to implement.
