Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks to Pig Mask I now have all the Touhou games and I'd really like to use a controller and since the PS3 controller is USB based anyway I thought it would be perfect.

Anyone know how to get it to work?

I think you just have to plug it in? I got a cheap 360 3rd party one and it works fine just plugging it in.

It doesn't work when I just plug it in. I tried JoytoKey but it was to no avail. I think theres a program that unlocks it or something  ???

You can use a PS2 controller if you have a PS2 to USB converter device.

<+Karrde> welp, time to learn some basic patterning skills
<@Negate> 12121212121212121212
<@Negate> there is a simple pattern
<+Karrde> I changed my mind.  Gonna cosplay as a gay demon from hell and get negate raped instead XD
<+Caffeine`work> Karrde: Gay demon? Why would you need to cosplay just go as yourself
<+FlyingMongoose> Caffeine`work: Karrde would actually have to tone it down some.

thank you, now i may be able to play a touhou game since I could never remap the buttons and my left arrow key is broken  :-X

Try playing one of those games without moving left, it is impossible and frustrating.

Fuck that, Touhou games are near impossible even when you CAN move left.

Ya my link is an XP-tested only driver. I just kind of assumed no one in their right mind would ever use Vista.
