Hacking Nintendont

[ccfman2004]

I looked under hid but could find no controls.

I wonder if modifying the PS4v2.ini file in the controllerconfigs folder and compiling that would work.

test this. I did my best to follow the config you made. I only did a, b, x, and y though, so hopefully that's all you needed. as you can see, with numbers only, it's hard to know what's going on.

I understand. I'll try this out right now. I do question how the normal method isn't working. It's not like I'm the first person ever to want to remap a ps4 controller.

I wonder that too.

It technically worked? But I think I might have messed up the numbers I wanted swapped around. Originally I saw that since A=40 (Circle) B=20(Cross) X=80(Triangle) Y=10(Square), and I wanted to make it A=80 B=40 X=10 Y=20. I'm trying to play a platformer, but now instead of pressing circle I press triangle to jump, when I was trying to just make it Cross (and make Square act as B since it's the run button).

I really do appreciate the help, but I guess I might have miscommunicated on my exact details. Or maybe it's just a mistake.
I don't want to sound ungrateful at all for your work, it's just didn't really solve my problem yet.

I had it set like that, but based on your description, try this:

Nope, sorry. It still has the initial changes you made (Triangle being A. Cross being Y).

It's getting late for me, so I'll have to come back tomorrow if you want to try it again.

 

[godreborn]

this work?

Triangle is still jump (A), but at least Circle is now run (B) so its better than last time. Again technically not what I was trying to get which was Cross=A and Square=B.

Gotta do something early in the morning so I probably won't be able to check anything else you might want to do until then.

let's see what goes to what. I only changed the square button here or what should be square.

Just tried it. I don't notice any changes. It's still Triangle=A, Cross=Y, Square=X, and Circle=B.

 

[godreborn]

That is weird because I changed them.

Maybe you swapped X for Y, and since they're not used for movement I maybe didn't notice it. But yeah, those are what the current buttons are mapped to.

try this. this way we can keep a record of the changes.

I realized I made a mistake, sometimes the changes didn't take place if I just dragged and overwrite the nintendont folder with the new one. By just deleting the old and putting in the one from the zip it worked.

Everything is almost perfect, but Circle is still Y, and Triangle is X. If you could please just swap those two I think this will finally be over.

 

[godreborn]

With this latest change?

 

[NOT_ALEXANDER]

With this latest change?

Yes. As of right now Cross=A, Square=B, Circle=Y, and Triangle=X.

 

[godreborn]

isn't that what you wanted?

 

[NOT_ALEXANDER]

isn't that what you wanted?

Almost. I just needed Circle and Triangle to swap their X and Y, since that's how GC controller buttons are oriented.

 

[godreborn]

the problem is that it doesn't go counter-clockwise, which is where the confusion lies. I think I swapped them. should be the first and third numbers, I think.
