===================================================================================================
Sorry there hasn't been an update in a while, I've been having some family issues on top of college and work, so I really haven't had time to work on this much. I'll try my best to get a new version out soon, but please be patient.
===================================================================================================

Mass Effect 2 Version here: http://www.nexusmods.com/masseffect2/mods/11/?

--------------------------------------------------------------------WARNING-----------------------------------------------------------
This mod WILL break Keyboard support to a certain extent. This is NOT a situation where you can switch between the two on the fly. I'm sorry, but this could not be designed any other way.

This mod was made for a friend to activate the Xbox 360 controller on PC. I decided to share it in case anyone else needs it.

This is my first mod, so be as critical as humanly possible (I won't learn, otherise).

Reqirements:
JoyToKey is here: http://joytokey.net/en/

OPTIONAL:
If you use a Dualshock 2 (PS2), Dualshock 3 (PS3) or Dualshock 4 (PS4), You will need these Drivers:
http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-XInput-Wrapper-for-DS3-and-Play-com-USB-Dual-DS2-Controller

This has been tested with the following gamepads:
Microsoft Xbox 360 Gamepad
Sony Dualshock 3 Gamepad
Sony Dualshock 4 Gamepad
Speedlink Xeox Pro Analog Wireless Gamepad (PS3 Mode)

The easiest controllers to use is any Xinput gamepad, since the game can only detect Xinput commands. Other controllers will require some extra work to use. Use x360ce for Dinput controllers. Use MotionInJoy or the drivers above for PlayStation 3 gamepads.

Thanks to the Mass Effect Forums for teaching me what I needed to know.

This mod uses JoyToKey, certesy of JTKSOFT.

Please backup your original ini files. Like all mods, use this mod at your own risk.
