I am a PS guy and using a genuine Dualshock 3 on my Win11 PC with the DsHidMini app.
When I play Super Meat Boy, I realized the Cross button acts as the B and the Circle button acts as the A.

Normally, Super Meat Boy game supports the Xbox 360 controller. The game says A is the jump button but on my DS3 jumping is the Circle. What could be the fix?

There's two different controller API in Windows: DirectInput and XInput. PlayStation controllers conform to DirectInput, while Xbox controllers conform to XInput. However, both are kinda sort of compatible with each other, but they interpret the data from the controller differently, hence what appears to be a different button layout

Most games since the 2010s if they have controller support only XInput.

There's a program called DS4Windows that maps PlayStation inputs into XInput, and it should work with Dual Shock 3 running on DsHdMini.
