Playstation Button Mod (PS1 Style Config) v3.0

Original games XBOX360 buttons > My PS1 button mod

I made this mod (and the next one) because I never got used to playing Resident Evil after switching from PS1 RE games to the newer console RE4 and RE5 games on PS2 and PS3.

The buttons where relocated starting with the 4th one on consoles but on PC I have been able to overcome this hurdle by modding the buttons back to the PS1 style I still crave

So it made me determined to mod the games for my own purposes.

This mod allows you to have a PS1 style RE config making it easier to switch between older and newer RE games without button function confusion for the user

Quick time events will need to be learned all over again as they will jump out as diff buttons to what you are used to in RE5 til now.
Circle is replaced by Triangle as a Quick time button as are the shoulder buttons to L1 and R1

To use this mod you will need to set your controls as follows and follow the "read me" in the mod file for where to save the files

X = Cross = Action/Shoot while aiming (Same as all PS1 RE games)
Y = Circle = Inventory (Same as most PS1 RE games)
A = Square = Run (Same as ALL PS1 games)
B = Triangle = Partner action - Quick Event (Was never really used much in PS1 games)
RT = R1 = AIM (Same as ALL PS1 games)
LT = L1 = AIM with knife (The obvious place to put it)
RB = R2 = Map
LB = L2 = Locate partner

Is there a way to match the button icons to the current layout of the steam version?

Is there a way to have just the button icons and have the same layout as the original game?

How do I change my controls layout to ps buttons?

I have a question. Why the UI shows that square is confirm and triangle is back when cross and circle are actually the keys. Any way to correct that?

just copy the file into the resident evil 5 directory and replace the folder in there.

Yep, x360ce did the trick! Thanks guys for the help.

Use x360ce or similar X-Input wrappers to match the controls to the buttons
