Controller support somehow?

[hinti21]

I played the game a 100 years ago on my old xbox, so I'm used to playing Morrowind with a controller. Is there some mod or any tool that can enable a controller for playing Morrowind?

There's a good guide for setting it up using JoyToKey and controlMK here[forums.nexusmods.com].

I'm almost certain Xpadder can do the same sort of thing as both of those combined, but I don't have a copy so can't confirm it.

OK, thank you

You can also check out: Pinnacle Game Profiler. It costs about 10 bucks but if you like to use controllers with games that don't support them then that's the program for you. It's nice because it'll work with any controller that you can plug into your PC, even a Wii mote. It's sort of a pain to make a profile but there's already hundreds of user made profiles for download on their website.

The game supports gamepads, you don't "need" any other software.

From the Title screen ( where it says New/Load/Options/Credits/Exit) select "Options".
On the window that pops up, select "Controls" ( 3rd Tab up top).
Select "Enable Joystick" ( 2nd button down on left).
Assign the buttons as you please.

Note, if you have a "modern" gamepad ( such as the xbox one) the Rudders won't work right. This is because Microsoft designed the rudders as one axis instead of as two buttons.

If you feel you "need" those, then you will need Xpadder or Joy2Key. Otherwise you can just live without them or purchase a Logitech F310 ( or the F 710 wireless version) as they have a selector switch that allows you to select Xinput or DirectInput.

For Morrowind ( and to use the rudders as individual buttons) you'd want DirectInput.

I do have a 360-controller, so I might go with the programs suggested. Thanks

I don't blame ya one bit. I use the left and right rudders all the time. Before I bought the Logitechs with the dual DirectX input modes I used Joy2Key religiously.
