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).

  1. Thanks man good work.
    I knew i needed something like but i did not know how to do it on my own
    My problem is that on the right stick of the controller left to right is:look up look down. and up and down is: turn left turn right.
    I want it the other way around.
    How can i make this?Can u please help me???
    And u are right about when you exit the game it turns back to default values.So i need to edit the mapping but i dont know how to do it.:(

  2. @Chris: Just play around with these settings.

    setbind 1 COMMAND_CAMERA_X CONTROLLER 0 AXIS_Z -1.0 1.0 1.0
    setbind 1 COMMAND_CAMERA_Y CONTROLLER 0 AXIS_RZ -1.0 1.0 1.0
    setbind 1 COMMAND_TURNLEFT CONTROLLER 0 AXIS_RZ -1.0 0.0 1.0
    setbind 1 COMMAND_TURNRIGHT CONTROLLER 0 AXIS_RZ 0.0 1.0 1.0

    Change AXIS_Z / AXIS_RZ around see.

    Or you can try to use XBOX 360 controller emulator for PC games.

    • hi, I am using a japanese elecom controller with 16 button +
      for a lot of games, this seems like the ideal pad and is shaped like a ps3 controller.
      I still get the error when trying to configure look up and down with the right stick (although with your settings I do get the turn left or right with it)
      now another problem that arises is that I lose all the other buttons that I configured at the setting screens i.e. it all return to a weird setting (or default) resulting in most buttons on my controller not working..
      any way I can get around this?
      and if I were to change the mapping value, how do I do it? Can you give me a few examples?
      thanks in advance..

  3. Thanks man.I was just looking at that and i was thinking about it.:)
    But did not know how to do it.
    Ill try that and let you know if you are still here.
    Thanks alot.
    What does the emulator do???
    Does it configure my controller?
    I have an original ps2 controller and i connect it with a USB adapter.

  4. You are a lifesaver. I couldnt believe when i emailed konami about this they told me to go buy a 360 controller. Thanks again!

    i am very thankful 2 u sir.
    plz reply me. or email me.
    thanks

    • R3 is when you press vertically down on the right stick (or trigger) and hear the clicking down and same goes for the L3..
      this is as far as I know..

  15. Say, if I wanted to switch around the functions of the square, circle, triangle and x buttons (the ps2 binds file has square for map, but I want to triangle to do that), how do I figure out how to switch them around?

    Thanks. You’re awesome. I tried everything, even Xpadder, and they all failed. I was about to give up on this stupid game. LOL

  16. OMG you are a life saver. I found this page through google images by accident. This helps a lot, Thnx dude πŸ™‚

  17. “Say, if I wanted to switch around the functions of the square, circle, triangle and x buttons (the ps2 binds file has square for map, but I want to triangle to do that), how do I figure out how to switch them around?”

    I would please like to know how to do this too. Thank you!

  18. Thanx a lot everything works good and stuff, but, can you explain how to bind the “Walk” button cuz, you know it’s Silent Hill game. Running all the time kind’a sucks balls, and binding the key everytime sucks balls even more, so… Thanks again, you really helped.

  19. Hi
    I want to change camera up/down by buttons 28(up) and 29(down)
    But i can change only UP(28)
    setbind 1 COMMAND_CAMERA_Y CONTROLLER 0 BUTTON_28 -1.0 1.0 1.0
    It’s pissible made new line or something with BUTTON_29 ?

  20. Hi… I’ve been trying to configure this file manually but I’m starting to lose my patience. I’ve managed to map some buttons but the thing I would like the most is (with my generic pc gamepad) be able to turn left and right and go forward and back just with the left thumbstick like on the previous silent hills on the ps2 and then I would like to know which binds are the ones that correspond to “look around” and turn left and right. I hope you know what I mean. Thank you so much in advance

  21. man thank you very much. i tried to do it manually and it was hell. just to let anyone know im using ps4 controller. I downloaded the file and replace it with the original and it works perfect.
