    Question [Answered] Can this program be helpful to me?

    Hi Guys,
    Recently i bought a xbox 360 controller for pc
    i am enjoying it with RACING games but when it comes to shooting I am really suffering because i am bit handicapped on my right hand
    The problem is most games have Directions as RightThumbstick and movement as Left Thumbstick because of condition of my hand i wish i had the opposite way as i can controller the pace of directions with Left hand and the little less pacedmovements with my RightThumbstick.
    i face this problem especially with Bioshock and stuff
    So, Can PGP have me interchange my option for this games is it worth the buy for me

    yes - for most games you will be able to change the profiles to suit your hands.

    if the game already has built in controller support you will need to disable that & use pinnacle instead but that is also possible, for nearly every game.

    Yes, cybmole is exacty right... what I would recommend for you if you ALWAYS want your profiles to have the joystick reversed, then rather than reversing each one after you download it, you can just reverse your axis mappings... in other words, normally X and Y axis is used for Joystick 1, but if you use those for Joystick 2 instead, then you will already be setup... so go to PREFERENCES > DEVICE SETTINGS > ADVANCED then click the "show wizard" link at the top fo the window. Follow the on-screen instructions of the wizard and make sure the green dots move in the correct directions on the tester screens... but the only difference is when it asks you to press JOYSTICK 1 to the left, instead of using the left joystick, use your right joystick instead. So Pinnacle only thinks of your joystick as 1 and 2, not left and right... even though 1 is usually left and 2 is right, there is no need for it to be that way, and if you reverse this then all the profiles you download would automatically work that way.

    Thanks for the reply yes this the thing i exactly need
    one more doubt...
    for bio shock(and all those default xbox controller games ) i do not find any profile So, after i follow all your step and Successfully reversed my Left Thumb stick and right Thumb stick is there a way i can i simply login to any of my games without any profiles added and have my Thumb sticks reversed.So,that i need not worry abt other mapping Stuff

    I'm afraid you'll need to either globally swap your axis mappings in PGP or modify each PGP profile you download so that you commands assigned to each stick get swapped. The former method is easiest, but the latter is more flexible. Either way, neither is time consuming.

    I just did a forum search for "Bioshock" and I came up with a bunch of profiles for Bioshock 2 and this one for the original game. Hope that helps.
