How to play EE with a USB gamepad.

Hey guys !

Just wanted to share with you some softwares I discovered tonight. I originally wanted to play on emulators with an actual gamepad, so I searched for some driver to use my PS3 sixaxis ( fun off-topic : Read sixaxis backward ). I found a nice driver/software that allowed me to use it, it's called "MotionInJoy". after a few hours of testing my sixaxis on several emulators ( SNES / Gameboy / N64 ) I thought : "Oh, what about trying it on EE ?". I found this software called "JoyToKey" that allows you to bind some keyboard keys to your controller. Basically, I just binded my spacebar to all my sixaxis keys, and the g key to the start button.
I've played some levels, and I must say it really feels nice, it even make some minis easier ( and some really harder, using dots is quite difficult. Oh, and double-jump are really really easier ! ). So, after a few question from fellow comrades in game, I decided to share this softwares with you.

Here's the software you can use with any gamepad to bind keys on your gamepad.

There's a tutorial, but I don't think you'll need to read it since it's quite easy to use.
If you want to know what are the "buttons" numbers of your controller, it's quite simple : Go to your control panel, search for your peripheral manager, right click on your gamepad, go to properties, and the press the buttons to see what triggers what number. Anyway, that's what I did with my sixaxis on windows 7.

Oh, and here's a link to download the PS3 sixaxis driver/software :

It has a lot of options, and there are tutos to help you installing it.

I hope you'll enjoy EE in a new way with that. I found it very enjoyable and it somehow renewed my interest in the game, so I really recommend you to try.

Have fun !
