Switching between Xbox Controller and SNES USB controller
« on: March 08, 2015, 03:20:11 pm »
Hey guys, when switching between an Xbox controller and a Super Nintendo USB controller (using Xpadder) the mapping gets flipped since the A/B buttons are placed differently on both controllers. As I'm sure most of you know, on the SNES controller its B/A and on the Xbox controller it's A/B. So If I map the controls using the Xbox controller jump will be assigned to the "B" button furthest to the right which is where it should be, but if I switch to the SNES controller the mapping "follows" the B button and since it's backwards on the SNES controller, jump ends up being in the wrong place. Any way to get around this?

I can obviously map the buttons to the SNES controller in Xpadder but then if I switch to the Xbox controller it will again be backwards. My goal is to make both interchangeable.

What if you used joy to key for the Snes controller? You could still use both but they would use different programs. Unless you need the Snes controller to act as a 360 cocontroller.

Thanks for the suggestion, I actually just figured out how to make this work with Xpadder through HyperLaunch!
