JoyToKey XBOX 360 Controller Config

[Jay236]

The game doesn't officially support an XBOX 360 Controller, so I thought I'd share my configuration file for JoyToKey.

Make a new file.cfg in the folder of JoyToKey, and copy paste the code below into it (you can use WordPad).

The controls are as follows:
D-Pad for movement
ABXY for directional shooting
Right Trigger for bombing
Left Trigger for items

Enjoy!

I didn't quite like the one you set up, so here's a modified version that I set up for JoyToKey 5.0.3. I also labelled the 360 functions, if anyone new to the program wants to swap mappings around easily.

Just make a file named "The Binding of Isaac.txt" in your JoyToKey folder, and rename it "The Binding of Isaac.cfg" after you've saved the following text in it.

Quick explanation:

• WASD (Movement) = Left Thumbstick (7% threshold) and D-Pad
• ↑←↓→ (Shots) = Right Thumbstick (30% threshold) and YXAB
• E (Bombs) = Left Trigger and Right Trigger
• Space (Permanent Items or Menu "OK") = Left Bumper and Back
• Q (Consumable Items) = Right Bumper
• P (Pause or Unpause) = Start

Where do I get JoyToKey?

JoyToKey is a shareware program which you may download from links on [their website]. No install required. A license key for the full version costs $7, but you do not need to buy it to just use it.

Or use Xpadder, seems a bit easier to use than the above...

I was going to post it as an alternative, but the last freeware version of it is 5.3 from 2008. Newer versions of Xpadder are not free to use, from what I can tell. Xpadder's main edge is a visual interface for configuring joypads, although I'd assume this only supports controllers that predate 2009, which the 360 controller does.

How you think downloading a program and saving a text file is somehow hard is just beyond my imagination, though.
