dmjohn0x Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Anyone know of a controller to keyboard mapper that I can setup to automatically swap button assignments based on what im running? Basically, I'd like to lunch a flash game that uses odd keyboard keys for controls, but once i exit said title and launch say, an rpg maker game, i'd like the keys on my 360 controller to rebind. (Neither games have controller support so i need a tool like Joytokey but i cant figure out how to make specific profiles for specific games.

dmjohn0x Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 Joytokey has multiple generated config profiles I can make, but im unsure how to create a bat file that loads a config into joytokey and the launches my game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 You might be able to use the "Additional Apps" tool in Launchbox to pass a command to load the profile on game load and then another one to load a default or unload Joy2Key on close. Depending on how many games you have to do this with though it could be very time consuming to do all of them. I am not an expert with the additional apps and joy2key though so maybe someone else more knowledgeable on these things might be able to give a better answer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried passing the cfg as an argument using this method and just got weird errors. So if this is doable, im too stupid to figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crush Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Create an "Additional App" for the game you want to run JoyToKey with your custom config. Browse and locate JoyToKey. In the Application command line parameters enter your config including the full path and the "", for example: "D:\Emu\JoyToKey\game_controls.cfg" Check the box to run Before main application.

spycat Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Hi @dmjohn0x I've never used JoyToKey, but I have used XPadder and you can make a pair of Additional Apps per game to open a game profile before the game runs and close xPadder when you exit the game. Here is a useful link for XPadder:http://xpadder.com/forum4/viewforum.php?f=7 And here are example images for the 2 Add Apps. Your paths and game profile name will be different. And in the Edit Application Auto-Run tab for the Start XPadder Add App tick the Auto Run before Main App box for the Close XPadder Add App tick the Auto Run after Main App box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmjohn0x Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 Its shareware with a time restriction. Its 7 bucks for a license. Hasnt been free in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I rarely use it but I always find a free version I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmjohn0x Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 A lot of people share around the old free version. The shareware version looks exactly the same. I just purchased a license because I'd used it for years in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlhanK Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Don't worry, that game is just a bit bitchy. Just paste the string stdrt.exe as the target application. Without any path. Then it should work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
