    • Enable DirectInput Output from the general DirectInput section.
    • In the Basic sub-tab, set LT/RT to Button 12/13 and the Guide button to Button 11.
    • In the Advanced sub-tab, under the Misc. section, check Disable XInput and Override Device Name.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  2. 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/315670/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (315670) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.

    Windowed mode in portrait orientation worked fine but it was fullscreen mode that caused a crash at start-up.
