      http://www.electracode.com/4/joy2key/JoyToKey%20English%20Version.htm

      I just downloaded JoyToKey from here and it has the "Others" tab, maybe you have an older version...

      Anyway, in order to save the file with the name "minecraft.cfg" file name extensions must be shown
      http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Show-or-hide-file-name-extensions
      If they are hidden you'll see minecraft.cfg but it actually will be minecraft.cfg.txt

      When I try and go to the electracode link you put, it tells me the site is malicious, and when I ignore it and try and download J2K from there Chrome immediately deletes it for being malware.

      Wow, it seems that electracode weren't the official website, although I was sure it was...
      thanks for the warning!

      I changed the link to http://joytokey.net/en/

    Somehow "use item" and "attack" wasn't at the right place at the config above.
    Here's my config (fully commented for JoyToKey v5.5.1): http://pastebin.com/J8AN8EpG
    That config follows exactly the mapping from the picture above...

      It seems that Joytokey no longer looks for new profiles in the folder.

      You must create the profile inside program first, edit it and then restart the program.

    I like it, it works. though I'd like tp see of there was a way to make it so that the left analog stick pressed down is shift like on console, and that when you are in the inventory, if you press y it would auto-place it into the crafting interface it, all of it. just the two things I can live without for now.

      I have this issue as well. I'm getting a handle slowly on how this programming works, but it's confusing. You are tracking multiple things simultaneously, the button / axis / mouse assignments, versus the gaming functions. I would gladly pay $1.99 for completed config layouts like this one. Just a thought. This one works fine for me, but the inventory functions do not match the current xbox configuration and the kids noticed it immediately. It seems a tad daunting to me to modify the inventory functions as it requires additional mouse configurations. I'm still trying to wrap my head around that idea. Mike

    Hi,

    I'm a new poster on here.

    I get JoyToKeys_en working through GUI fine. I found the opening cfg files in notepad myself okay but then am lost so came looking...

    You see I run Windows 10 on a 2015 MacBook. Missing Gamepad Companion for OS-X I downloaded this program to play Steamworld Dig (and Spore). New use for it: Let's emulate the PageUp/PageDown/Home/End/Del/PrtScn keys (and any others I haven't thought of that Macbooks lack).

    Hex for PageDown is 76 (I think it said online http://www.ee.bgu.ac.il/~microlab/MicroLab/Labs/ScanCodes.htm - I am UK not US though?..). That value doesn't equal PageDown in JoyToKey GUI anyway. Assigned to the POV down key was P from copied config file. P should be 19h - not 50h.

    Lost. Adding that difference of 55d to the 76h results in 0xAD...?

    So wondered if you or anyone could point me to an advanced manual editing tutorial/resource kind of thing for JoyToKeys or ideally (if you already have access to it) a list of usable codes with their results. Or something of this kind?

    Any help much appreciated.

    I'll check back in a week or so.



    Downloaded last Sunday.

    cheers

    :)

    I would set the mouse acceleration to 2x as well and change select from screenshot to slow mouse by 50% (for inventories)
    Also put f5 on right stick press and ctrl on left stick press idk why that wasnt in there already
