Last night (about 2 in the morning) I wanted to play Q*Bert the way it was meant to be played. My son, however, got used to playing it the PC way (That is with straight up,down,left,right). Dilemma, how can we both play the way we like?
Playing around in the tab-menu, for player controls, I found a really excellent feature. My left joyustick is set for u/d/l/r, like he likes, I then went to the right controller, and tried something I read here a few weeks ago. I set the right joystick as follows :the keys are mapped to d,r,g,h, so I have it set for d g for up, r h for down, etc. I did this by hitting enter on the UP setting to set it, and then pressed the joystick up then right quickly, and did the rest accordingly. It didn't un-set the other setting. The best is that for up, for instance it is currently set to "UP or D G". So we both have what we want. The right joystick will only wirk in the diagonal positions.
(These are 8-ways). Looks like there's no longer a need for rotating joysticks. That's a relief because it seemed like an awful lot of work for just one game.
Hope this helps anyone else.
