Programs that allow you to use your pad instead of keyboard?

Post by evil_ash_xero »

I've been trying to play Noitu Love 2 for the PC, and I like the control gimmick with the mouse, but I would like to use my left hand on a pad, instead of the keyboard, which I have never been able to stand.

I remember there being a program that allowed you program keyboard strokes to your game controller, but I can't remember it.

Any help? This game seems kind of kick ass, but I can't stand using the keyboard!

Strange, i've installed it, and set up a profile, but the game won't recognize it.

Help?

EDIT: Joy2Key it is. It's the only one that's working for me.

The game doesn't have to recognize anything, it has to recognize the keyboard inputs you map the pad to. If it works with a keyboard it will work with Xpadder.

If you're using Windows 7 or Vista with the UAC on, you may need to run Xpadder as an administrator.

you can get the older free version off softpedia iirc

yup: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Sys ... dder.shtml

does everything you need....no limitations really...just not all the features of the pay version....most of which arent of much use for this application
