Xbox One Controller Support

[emptyhaven]

My Xbox One controller works fine for GTA San Andreas, but it displays JOY1, JOY2, etc. instead of A, B, etc.

I just want to know what the corresponding buttons are, like, is JOY8 the Y button, or what is JOY17? I have no idea how to test this out, and I'm not sure if anyone's figured it out.

I want modding the game to display the proper buttons to be my last resort, if possible.

Thanks.

Without modding the game you can't achieve this, no.

But like, did anyone make a diagram of which buttons are which? Like, the game tells me to push JOY16, but I have no idea what that is.

No, I'm talking about if someone has a guide to what JOY1, JOY2, etc. corresponds to on an Xbox One controller. I need to know what button JOY1, JOY2, etc. is.

In Windows 10, press the Windows key and type gamepad (or Game Controllers) into the search box, and the first result should be "Set up Game Controllers" control panel. Run that, and the control panel should display a list of "Installed game controllers" with your gamepad in it. Select your gamepad if it isn't already and click [Properties...] and you get an ugly interface that shows all the buttons. Push each button on the gamepad in turn, don't forget to click the thumbsticks, try to remember the damn set, maybe on a piece of paper.

JOY1 is probably the A button, JOY2 -> B, JOY3 -> X, JOY4 -> Y.

(My problem with GTA: SA is the game tells me to press JOY7 to answer CJ's phone, but some piece of software "knows" that JOY7 is the [Start] button on my Logitech F310 gamepad, so I'm dumped in the pause menu as if I'd pressed [Start] in the console version !

I figured it out through a pretty convoluted way. This was just the first thing my brain thought of doing and I didn't bother thinking up another way. Basically, I looked for a controller button remapper. Using the program, I was able to test out the action buttons and I figured out which buttons corresponded with which label (i.e., JOY1 = something, JOY2 = so and so, JOY3 = whatsitcalled, JOY4= the ugly one, etc.). Then I got a PDF of the original manual, looked for the page with the controls, and then just matched the label to the button. In-game I was able to check if all was right by mashing buttons and seeing if the label matched with the action. IIRC, all of them were right so I didn't have to remap anything, thankfully.

Ah, dang. It's been years (hahahaha) and I'd kind of need to redownload the program to configure my controller again. But nothing different was really used when it comes to controller mapping? All I really did was just use that program to reverse-engineer the controls from an XBOX to map into an XBONE config, so ? At least as far as I can remember. It was just in-game, it would tell me to hit something like JOY7, and I'd be like, wtf is JOY7, so I used the thing to tell me which button was which.

No worries! I was able to find a really good setup using the steam controller configuration and a profile from "Tyrion Lannister". Only thing is that I have to activate steam controller support for xbox before playing and then deactivate it after playing in order to play games that have built in controller support. Its the same way with American Truck Simulator and other games that don't have built in controller support. Steam controller support has come a long ways since a few years ago.

Why not just downgrade the game and use Silent's GInput mod?
