You can repeat the process for other pads, if you have them, and save to separate controller profiles, switching between them as desired. My pad only has digital triggers, so I needed to add them already (the two top squares).

If your pad has analog trigger buttons, the last tab is for that. Like with the d-pad, you can drag and drop each “button” in the layout at your will: This should make it clear why it is helpful to reproduce the layout of your pad – although you can remind yourself what corresponds to each pad button by pressing it on the pad (this is why the last button on the right is different in the image above). Pressing the buttons on your gamepad makes them appear in the layout: You may want to move the directional pad to another location (particularly if you have used an image) – just drag and drop:Īdding buttons is also very simple. Just check the “Enabled” box (as in the image) and the program will detect and prompt you to press the directions in turn. It should be almost as easy as doing the d-pad buttons, in the “Direction pad” tab: Unfortunately I cannot test this as my gamepad is digital only. Go into the next tabs to configure the thumbsticks. There are some such images already prepared in Xpadder’s official site, in the Images section (you might want to check if your gamepad is already there – apparently Xpadder treats that pink color as transparent). If you want, you can add a picture in the profile – in the “Image” tab, click open and choose what you want: Click “New” to do so you are taken to the Controller editor: You need to configure your gamepad first. Step 3: Setup your gamepad(s) – the layout I advise you to make a folder for it though, so you can easily keep your saved profiles. It is a single, small file, no installation required. Just unzip it where you want to keep the program.

Personally I’ve been happy to use solely the basic feature I have used it a lot with freeware windows games that typically don’t support pads natively, and with WinUAE, the Amiga emulator – many Amiga games use keys as the standard joysticks only had one button, and it’s very inconvenient to access these keys when using gamepads (Amiga joysticks were often 1-handed, while pads are 2-handed). I leave it to you to devise your own uses for these. Xpadder also lets you map mouse commands to your pad, or map sequences of keys to a single button press. you can map load and save state to shoulder buttons in Genesis games for “quick load” and “quick save”)

Use it to map function keys from emulators to extra buttons (e.g.

Some emulators that don’t let you redefine the gamepad commands freely (use keys, and remap them any way you want).

Some emulators that don’t support gamepads natively.

Some obvious uses of Xpadder in this context: I decided to make a tutorial here to connect with the emulator guides.

The most basic is that it lets you map keys to your gamepad buttons. Xpadder is a small and simple Windows application that lets you make the most of your gamepad – and it is free!Xpadder has several features.
