The buttonData.ini (often referred to in documentation as the "fifa button data setup ini") is a configuration file that maps physical controller inputs to in-game actions. Unlike simple keybinding, this file handles:

This paper presents a lightweight, user-driven data ingestion system where a physical or GUI button triggers a data extraction and transformation process.
