Controller support?

[chrisypoo.mark]

I've got a bad back and really can't enjoy a game unless it has controller support. I assumed this would as honestly the interface would benefit heavily from a controller, there's literally no reason for this to be a keyboard only. Any word on controller support coming?

Not a chance. The Binding of Isaac pulled a smartass move to essentially flick us gamepad lovers the bird by saying "Google JoyToKey." So I'd do exactly that.

I have a Saitek P990 and have both the left stick and D-pad set to directional controls...
For an Xbox controller, here's my scheme.
Y = Space (Inventory)
X = 1 (Flare)
A = 2 (Rotten Meat)
B = 3 (Health Tonic)
Back = M (Map)
Start = P (Pause)
LT = C (Draw/Sheath Weapon)
LB = F (Flashlight)
RT = X (Interact/Shoot)
RB = R (Reload)

Bottom line, your only bet is key emulation. It WILL work, though. Unless something is horribly wrong with your system.

Thanks man I appreciate that seriously. I think I'll just go ahead and use the exact same parameters you laid out here. At least I'll be able to enjoy the game, I've been looking forward to this for a while. Thanks again.

One is happy to be of service!

I was about to post my agreement over this game's baffling lack of controller support and my own bit of software but Adreni beat me to it. I'll still suggest a similar bit of software called JoyToKey just in case you run into problems with the other program.

Enjoy! :D

Whup! *facepalm* You just repeated my suggestion, derp! I think you mean Xpadder. =P

Frankly there's probably a handful of different things out there. Saitek/Cyborg devices have their own proprietary emulation profilers, but that doesn't help with Xinput devices or non-Saitek peripherals.

Oh, and just a heads up, Xpadder is ten bucks now.

Too bad this game is abandonware because the devs should be able to figure out controller support if their game developers. I mean we all can and were just users, if the dev cant figure it out all hope is lost on this game.
