Best way to configure San Andreas controls for pc?

Question

I'm trying to play GTA: SA on a notebook pc so mouse + keys are out of the question. So I then bought an Xbox 360 wired controller to use but alas, I cannot bind anything to the triggers, d-pad, or right analog stick. Can I still play the game like that? Is there a way I can bind certain functions to the keys and main functions to the controller and use both?

Answer 1

Download the program Joy2Key to configure everything you need (including triggers, to shoot i guess?)



here's the link, it's free and easy to use, if you don't know how to use it, below the link to joy2key is a link to a youtube tutorial!

Try using a program that binds controls to your controller like Joy2Key or Xpadder.



This usually bypasses any restrictions set by the devs and allows you to use a controller for literally anything. I believe there is a auto-aim/lock-on option somewhere in the game, but I never got around to using it, because I didn't shoot much (I was just happy enough knowing I could actually drive again).

SAVE yourself a lot of trouble: Buy a Generic USB GamePad (I use the Logitech Dual Action (tm). It worked straight from the box on my Laptop & other computers without any special drivers.)

Setup USB GAMEPAD (Joystick) = PS2 controls.

Try buttons Before you program them (push each button to see what it does now.)

< buttons on right side of control:>

[1] 9 o’clock ---Foot-Jump, --- Vehicle-Brake+Reverse

[4] Noon ---Foot-Enter+Exit --- Vehicle- Enter +Exit

[3] 3 o’clock ---Foot-Shoot --- Vehicle - Fire

[2] 6 o’clock ---Foot-Sprint --- Vehicle - Accelerate



[5] Left High ---Foot-Action --- Vehicle –Secondary Fire

[7] Left Low ---Foot-Previous Weapon/target --- Vehicle –Look Left --- Aircraft left rudder

[6] Right High ---Foot-Aim --- Vehicle - Handbrake

[8] Right Low ---Foot next Weapon/Target --- Vehicle – Look Right --- Aircraft right rudder.

Directional Cross (not programmable)

[11] Left Stick (as a button) Foot -Look Behind --- Vehicle - Sub Mission

[12] Right Stick (as a button) Foot-Crouch --- Vehicle – Horn/Siren

[9 & 10] Two small buttons between left Directional and 4 buttons.

Program as you will, I have used them for either radio stations forward/backward OR responses Yes/No

Note: Some of the buttons or combinations of buttons are automatically programmed. For actions.

Such as both bottom front buttons pushed at the same time when in a vehicle will show what’s behind you.

I have two USB gamepads and the button Number Assignments on them are different. That’s why I listed descriptive locations instead of numbers. Numbers in [brackets] are for Logitech Dual Action.

Note you may also assign the same button to a different command IF they will be in a different column
