Gamepad support, button remapping

[Meat Miracle]

The store page claims this game has full gamepad support; but it doesn't. None of the controls on my gamepad work (x360 wired pad), neither with custom drivers nor with x360ce.

This means that there is NO gamepad support.

Also, none of the controls can be remapped. In fact the only available options are setting the resolution.... Risky's Revenge at least had volume settings in there.

But I'd at least expect gamepads to work, especially since the store page claims the game has it. A 2d platform game is really not playable from keyboard, and I hate intermediate hacks like xpadder (which seems to be the only choice).

I realize the game only just come out... I really hope this will be fixed with an update.

EDIT: x360ce works, but you need to rename xinput1_3.dll to xinput9_1_0.dll. That way Pirate's Curse will read it just fine.

Renamed the .dll files for x360ce, works fine now. Thanks!

My wired xbox 360 controller with official drivers refuse to work, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.
Edit: Managed to get it to work. Dunno if it was because I simply reinstalled the game, or if it was because I started ShantaeCurse.exe as an admin.

I am using my ps4 controller no problem with duck tales, shovel knight and shantae riskys revenge, but i ve been battling all day with x360ce, motionjoy and even xpadder doesn't work. help please! when i finish the set up on xpadder , the game seems to recognize only the up down left right buttons...

unfortunately it doesn't seem like this game has proper, if any directinput support.

i have a logitech f310 pad myself, it has a switch that goes between pc native direct input and xbox xinput, so i can at least use it.

since this is a pc port not xbox, it should have directinput support first, before xinput in my opinion.

With x360ce all you have to do is run it go to the game settings tab and check the first 32 bit in the xinput(not sure if its the same one for 64 bits) and then it will read the input. With this it will create the xinput9_1_0.dll automatically. At least with my gamepad, please tell us if other gamepads don't work.

OMG this is annoying. I've not had problems getting my PS4 controller to play with any game yet except this one, and I have played hundreds of pc games with it, even little dinky ones that cost less than a dollar.

Iv'e followed the instructions on this post to the letter, and no luck. I have never used x360ce before, but I never had to. I usually use ds4windows, which works for 99% of everything. ARGH!!! Any solutions to using a ps controller, or is it not possible?

I refuse to play this game without a gamepad, refuse.

Okay found a solution, though not a good one. Using xpadder I was able to remap the gamepad buttons to the keyboard. It's usable enough to play the game, but there are some things I still have to use the keyboard for, not a huge deal though. Phew...

[k_taract]

same solution, working after all. Sad that Wayforward staff wasn t able to help on this one.

[yomangg]

I tried to renaming xinput1_3.dll to xinput9_1_0.dll in system32 abd sysWOW64. But it still doesnt see me ds4. I am using DS4Windows.-.J2K.v1.4.261. Any more tips?

[SJR RandomTenerife]

Is there any software rather than x360 or other kind of solution that I can use for remaping the controlers in this game. Im using a PS2 x USB conector and works in other games

Thank you so much

[k_taract]

xpadder was the only solution i could find, worked just fine

I have a Logitech controller and usually use x360ce for games that require a 360 controller. I couldn't get it to work with this one. Does this basically mean there's nothing I can do other than play this on keyboard?

Mystery solved: you need the xinput dll file named as "xinput9_1_0.dll" for x360ce to work with Shantae Pirate's Curse. (x360ce uses xinput1_3.dll by default, but this game looks for xinput9_1_0.dll).

thanks

This one works for me. Thank you :)

my controller works but I cant remap it too. In this day an age that is inexcusable in my opinion. Every game MUST have button mapping. Even games as old as super nintendo generation had (some of them) button mapping or touhou even the oldest ones have it .
