Solved How to play systems that require more buttons than your controller.

[Christopher 'Dange' Hornak]

Hey I have an 8 button SNES controler but what if I wanted to play a PSX game that requires the R2 and L2 buttons? OR if I wanted to play a N64 game.

Is there a way to create key combinations that act as those other buttons? Like a extra buttons hotkey?

Thanks!

@Christopher-'Dange'-Hornak off course not there's no way to do that

[Christopher 'Dange' Hornak]

@voljega seems like something that could be possible with button combinations. Like if if I press Y and B together it could act as R2.

Who does that? Please, just get a proper controller! Nobody tries to play SNES with a NES pad!

@Christopher-'Dange'-Hornak and how could you then press the same two buttons at once in a standard game ? (Sf2 on snes for example)

Anyway games aren't designed to be played like that and it's really a bad idea, esoecially given the low cost of controllers

The only fix I have found for this is by following this guide exactly http://bfy.tw/8xYV

You can't, that's all. And there won't be any investigation on making pointless developments for some probably impossible key combos in various emulators

Just use a PS3 Controller. Sixasis or Dualshock 3 work like a charm.
