Setup Silent Hill Homecoming USB PS2 joypad controller key

Setup Silent Hill Homecoming USB PS2 joypad controller key. Huh? Why do you need to setup Silent Hill Homecoming controller key? Shouldn’t you can change it at the setting page? Hmm… I am not sure why. But all the key that I set at Controls page turned back to default after exit Silent Hill Homecoming. And I failed to make USB PS2 joypad controller right analog control stick to work. Therefore, I come out my own solution for this Silent Hill Homecoming USB PS2 joypad controller key issue.

You can play Silent Hill Homecoming with keyboard and mouse. However, Silent Hill Homecoming is a TV console game and it is not suitable to play with keyboard and mouse. It is preferred to use joypad like XBOX 360 controller or any PC joypad to play. By default, Silent Hill Homecoming provides XBOX 360 controller key mapping. All the controller keys are mapped to XBOX 360 controller key value. It also provides PS2 controller adaptor key value. However, it does not work with my USB PC style PS2 joypad controller. Therefore, I need to change the mapping myself.

There is 1 file that I changed ~ binds_pc_mjs.cfg in C:\Program Files\Silent Hill Homecoming\Engine. Then, you need to select controller as your input in the Options -> Controls -> Use Controller. Download binds_pc_mjs.cfg and overwrite the original file.

You can change it for yourself too. Just open binds_pc_mjs.cfg in C:\Program Files\Silent Hill Homecoming\Engine with Notepad. Then change the mapping value to the key that you like.

Here are the mapping key values that I set.

### THESE ARE THE XBOX 360 VALUES, THEY ARE EQUIVALENT TO WHAT IS IN BINDS_XBOX360.CFG.
### USE THIS SET OF VALUES IF USEDIRECTINPUTAPI=0 IN YOUR DEFAULTS_PC.CFG (OR IF IT IS NOT SPECIFIED).
