Cheats / save states don't work on Switch

[agent-brannigan]

Describe your bug here. And how to reproduce it.

Alright, here's the deal. In the /src/platform/switch/zelda3.ini file, under the [KeyMap] section, it only supports keyboard keys. So, when we try to change something like CheatLife = w to CheatLife = L1 (or Lr, L3, Start, or anything like that), it simply doesn't work.

Now, what can we tweak to make these features work on the Switch? I've got a potential workaround.

In main.c, under the static int RemapSdlButton(int button) function, we could modify the mapping like this:
case SDL_CONTROLLER_BUTTON_LEFTSTICK: return kKeys_CheatLife;
Then, recompile it. The "X" button isn't used anyway, so it's fair game.

1. But I can't say for sure if this will work. Will it? 😅
2. And yeah, this could easily break the game for everyone else. That's definitely not ideal.

What is your build target?
