Controller maping

**Smittycal** · 08-18-2010, 02:58 PM

I was just wondering where the controller mapping options went in the games?

I havent played on here for a while and I missed a lot of updates lol..

**Slime Slayer** · 08-18-2010, 03:35 PM

Hit tab to bring up the options, the rest is easy to figure out.

**Smittycal** · 08-18-2010, 03:46 PM

Thanks...I guess all of my old settings were lost. I need to reset everything....which sucks lol.

you can configure an entire system to the same button format if you want.

+1 smitty thanks for the laugh. Sorry to go offtopic in the support section but I think that's a perfect reaction to this info.

No problem with the off topicness of your comment..

Im just waiting for the instructions on how to do it!

That option appears in console games in AOX Score Mode after pressing tab.

Thanks for the help guys.

Ok...im still having a few issues with setting up my controller. I was using a standard game pad (which worked) but now Ive upgraded to a Hori stick.

Ive tried X padder but I cant find a way to import a picture of my stick into it. It does display the name (so I know its being detected) but thats as far as I get.

Ive tried going in game and using the tab option but It only "sees" my keyboard. I can change options on it but thats all.

I really want to use my stick on fighting games and shooters. Any suggestions?

I'm a bit confused. If you hit tab in the game and try to set the controls are you not getting the option to set each button/direction? If so, you can hit ENTER over each area and press the button you want to assign. It should assign it if you are in that area. I use Pinnacle more than Xpadder as I think it has better options, but Xpadder should work too.

Thats whats happeing. I'll push tab. The menu will appear and it will let me use my keyboard controls but, If I try using the stick then nothing happens.

I can assign buttons on my keyboard, and the keyboard is a better choice on certain games, but I cant see trying to play Samurai Showdown or Street Fighter on my keyboard lol.

I may try pinnacle if I can get X padder to work. Is there a download link for it somewhere on here?

As far as I know, RU does not officially endorse any software like this, but I believe I downloaded Pinnacle from their website (Xpadder was the same).

That's weird that your controller is not recognized, but it does happen sometimes. A key to joy program is probably the way to go.

Is your controller designed for Xbox or PS3?

That could be some of the problem. Some of the PS3 controllers are not recognized by a lot of PC's.

That could be. Maybe Kong will have a suggestion. If it dosent work then I'll probably buy another pad controller that works.

**Kong** · 09-07-2010, 07:17 PM

You have to first get the PS3 controller working with Windows. After that hurdle it should be easy.

This is all the info I have. Good luck.

I know I tried to use a PS3 corded one on my PC and it didn't work either. From what I have read online I think this seems to be a problem with a lot of people. If you like Hori controllers, there are some nice ones made more for Xbox 360, and they work perfectly on the PC.

**Smittycal** · 09-07-2010, 08:33 PM

I just read what the process is to make it work but Im not sure if its safe.

It asks that you turn off driver sig enforcement

Im not sure that I want to do all of that if it may harm my computer in someway to make this happen.

Any thoughts?

I wouldn't do it.

**Winnebagel** · 09-07-2010, 09:01 PM

I agree with Steven. Smit, unless you just have no way to get a different controller. I would be really careful with messing with drivers. It's a bummer, but Sony is not all that great at PC support.

**Smittycal** · 09-07-2010, 09:34 PM

Yeah I agree guys. It also mentioned that If I did this that I would have to change this setting EVERY time I restart my computer lol...

It would be cool but Its no worth it to me....

Well its time for plan B

I'll send you a PM with some controller suggestions if you decide to go that route.
