Hey
thanks for making this mod for us
it was really had before running away from battles on this ff8 steam pc version before
thanks
Your mods keep urging me too finish my twelvehundredth playthrough of the game! Haha, nice!
Would you mind doing original PSX buttons? I use a ps3 controller but love your mod.
I have followed all instructions, I installed Tonberry and Seed. It is still showing as B1 B2 B3 etc. Please help!!! :(
First off, thank you for the quick reply. I replaced the SYfolder with the PSX link as well as the 4 hashmaps from the hashmaps link. I am playing the English version bought off Steam.
Check out my sweet icon for your mod and how it looks like in the guide :) :POMG I love it. Thanks :)

Yea so I cannot get the button icons shown on screen to match up to what its actually on the controller. I've spent over an hour trying to figure this out. A quick write up could help, unless I getting something wrong. The icon for "X" is showing up as "Triangle", "Circle" seems to be correct, "Square" is basically not used. Thats all I have discovered so far.
I am running DS4Windows with my PS4 controller plugged in.
You are a mod god!Why thank you. :mrgreen:
So for anything use DS4, inorder for the buttons to show up correctly with your controller, you have to map your "X" button to x key, "Square" to s key, "Triangle" to c key, and "Circle" to v key. Still working on the green B1, B2, B3, B4 to not show up.
I found that ff8input.cfg file you were talking about. I removed all the B1, B2 etc button assignments but they are still showing in game.What color is B1, B2 etc?
8) Great mod. I'll use it when I play FF8 again.
I'm using ds4windows and i've tried everything in the guide and in the comments that you recommend to get the HID pack to work. no matter what i try everytime i go to customize controller in game i get the green b1-b10 letters. if i press a button on the keyboard (backspace, enter, etc...) the playstation icons will flash until i let the button go. it also does not let me save these settings.
Does Ds4windows map the keyboard inputs to the buttons? If you're still getting B1, B2, etc, it's because the game is seeing the controller as the input option. You can always wait until FFVIII boots and THEN plug in your controller and start DS4windows, but that fix kinda sucks.
If you still see B1-B10, try the non-HID version (regular version).
In a file explorer go to:
\My Documents\Square Enix\FINAL FANTASY VIII Steam
Edit the file called ff8input.cfg
Change the numbers below the Joystick section to all be 0s so that it looks like this
Joystick
1. "Select" 0
2. "Exit" 0
3. "Misc" 0
4. "Menu" 0
5. "Toggle" 0
6. "Trigger" 0
7. "RotLt" 0
8. "RotRt" 0
9. "Start" 0
10. "Select" 0
11. "Up" 0
12. "Down" 0
13. "Left" 0
14. "Right" 0
Save the file and then right click on it and open it's properties. Make the file read only. Now the game won't try to use its own settings for the controller nor show controller buttons (B1-10) in game. Try not to open the Controller settings window after you make this fix or you may have to repeat it.
Hey there...
Any way to make this work with sony ps3 controler and ScpServer?
I just started playing the steam version of FFVIII again today and grabbed this mod along with a few of your others. It works great except that I'm getting X/O and Triangle/Square showing as the other (so X shows as O, O shows as X, etc.) I'm using a generic brand PS3 controller, Tonberry Enhanced 2.02, and the Controller Buttons for PSX linked in the first post. Also using SeeD Reborn 3.2, Horizon 2.1, LunarCry 1.2, and Tripod 1.1. I restored the Sy folder back to the SeeD Reborn versions and the B1, B2, etc show correctly for their corresponding buttons.

The HID version shows the B1-10 inputs.
The non-HID has the buttons swapped (shows triangle for confirmation for example).
I never assigned buttons in driver, windows or ff8.
I forgot something... I use the x-box driver with scpserver like described here...
http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-XInput-Wrapper-for-DS3-and-Play-com-USB-Dual-DS2-Controller
I'm useing ScpServer, same link from eXistenZe. His button layout is the same way as mine too.
Better, but not perfect...
Check this...

Escape is locked by the program to b9 and b10 (the analog sticks).
And pause is also switched with POV...
Oh my this is funny... so I just had to use the Xbox button locations from my Xbox file and place the PSX buttons in -those- locations. Anyway, look in the OP for the new file! Thanks for your help, guys!
Better, but not perfect...
we thank you <3 ;)
The buttons don't show up unless i press the button. otherwise it shows up as b1, b6 and such but when i press down then it switches.
I had a similar issue, my PC gamepad wasn't mapped the correct way,
and since I had to change it in the game option, the icon from this mod wasn't the right one.
(when I push the equivalent of "X" on my gamepad, the game said I was pushing Triangle etc...)
and I didn't want to use gamepad mapper, they all crash on my (clean) computer, anyway,
since I work with photoshop I tried to mod the mod's png, and it worked.
here the PSD (photoshop format) with some layers for the X, O, Square, triangle button.
you can make more if you want.

once edited you need to save the file in PNG ! (24-bit + transparency)
I made a video if that could help, but since I'm not really good at talking english I didn't spoke in it.

And off course, thanks all the modder out there.
I figured the Xbox Texture would be what I needed, but it didn't work, so I switched to the PlayStation one and found that it does. But am having the same issue where it's all scrambled.
I tried doing the Photoshop Fix that this user did:
But it did not unfortunately fix the problem.
hmm... I don't think you explained the problem ???
what is happening exactly ?
Right, I am sorry.
The problem is despite doing the Photoshop Fix for the Non-HID PlayStation Set, the buttons are still scrambled.
X = Triangle, Square = O, Triangle = X, etc.
Again, as I've described I'm using a Logitech F310 USB Controller with no input devices such as Pinnacle, XPadder, Joy2Key, etc., just the controller flat out connected to my laptop.
I was hoping there was a solution for those not using an Xbox360, PS3/4 Controller, or USB Controller not using an HID, but have yet to find one.
I apologize for not being clear last post. :(
Thank you! Holy mother of sweet God! Thank you popochan! The PS3 Pack worked like a charm! :D :D :D :Dnice to hear that you found a solution thx to popo,
I'm off to go enjoy the game now!
hey
when i tried to work this ff8 controller mod today on my ff8 steam version
it crashed my ff8 game
i installed tonberry and seed reborn the right way
so what could be wrong then
This seems to not works with Tonberry enhanced 2.04, but only with older versions of Tonberry
The real question is whether everything works without the mods installed and trying to use the music. Since I use RaW, I have no way of knowing this or not... Or if it does something to Tonberry or if the file you downloaded could be corrupted somewhere.
hey
it crashes at the launcher screen all the time for me when i use this mod
when i use the ps1 music files on my ff8 steam version without using this mod, it does not crash at all on the launcher screen
do you think i should try installing the ps1 music files first before i install this mod to see if that will work
This seems to not works with Tonberry enhanced 2.04, but only with older versions of Tonberry
You can probably use this with the older version of Tonberry just fine. It uses the same codes and textures folders as SeeDReborn. Just make sure you install SeeDReborn FIRST before you install the XBOX mod. If you have continuing issues with the text or mods in the game, you can delete/reinstall the sy folder from SeeDReborn and then apply this mod. Currently, only the 'newer' versions of Tonberry are compatible with other languages other than English.I don't use SeeD Reborn, because it's not in italian, but I tried to use just the SeeD Reborn hashmap file, and now it works also on Tonberry 2.04.
Can someone reupload these ?????>>>>> For PS3 Controllers using SpcServer
pleasee
Been trying to get this configuration to work for the past couple of days to no avail. Using DS4Windows, and Tonberry 1.61 with SeeDReborn v3.2. I merged the sy folders, and I believe that I got every necessary hashmap.
However, I still see B# for my controller config in the game... older posts didn't help. Any suggestions? :(
Hello guys and thanks for all the mods you are doing! I love having the updates. I was wondering if someone could me sort a problem out. I'm using a DS4 controller just running under the default windows 10 drivers. Need need for a 2nd party software to use it! Anyways the only issue I'm having with the PSX buttons mod is that it has the main buttons swapped. X and O are swapped with each other and Square and Triagle as swapped for each other. Anyone have an idea how I can sort it out? Not sure how important this is but here are the button assingments as defined in the controller tool for windows:
X=Button 2
O=Button 3
Square=Button 1
Triangle=Button 4
I have the same problem and couldnt fix it, the only way i guess is to edit by Photoshop and i never used PS ... i guess am gonna have to try
Am I the only on who gets something a little weird when using a PS4 controller via USB? The O and X graphics are switched (as in, when I press O on the config screen, it shows an X and vice versa). The same thing happens with the Square and Triangle ButtonsI had the same problem too but I'm using the program DS4Windows so I managed make a unique controller profile which I called Final Fantasy VIII to change the controller's conversion to an XBOX 360 controller so that all the PS4 button graphics appear correctly in the game. I also fixed the problem with the dpad not responding at all by make them have the same controls as on the left stick and I changed L2, R2, share and options to where they should be in comparison to where they are on a PS1 controller.
I downloaded Seed Reborn 3.2, Tonberry 2.04, and and the CB Xbox controller but I still can't get it to work properly. Not too sure what I'm doing wrong. :(
The game runs perfectly but it still shows up at B1-B12. Gonna try to make it easier on myself and try the Lunatic Pandora package on a fresh install then retry the controller mod to see if that works out better.
Edit: Alright, after adding Lunatic Pandora on a clean install the buttons will show up in the config menu but *only* if I hold X. And if I tab to desktop then come back the screen will be "stuck" of a character model or the special characters page.
Hm. That's strange behavior.... what version of the mod are you using? A HID version or a standard one? Give me all of the possible specifics... controller model, os version, etc.
As far as the alt-tab issue.. that happens due to the cache sometimes... you just have to alt tab a couple more times, and it should go away. Mavirick and JeMaCheHi were working on a new version, but since Mav has completely vanished off the planet (hehe), we might be waiting on that forever.
I'm using the standard Xbox mod, controller model 1403, Windows 10 64 bit, and whatever Lunatic Pandora gave me.
No biggie about the alt-tab though, I just didn't know if there was a fix for it or not.
Edit:
Wait, can I use a wireless 360 controller with an adapter or does it have to be wired? Or does it not matter??
It shouldn't matter... but you have to make sure the controller is connected before you run the launcher. It sounds like the issue you're having is due to the keyboard being recognized 'first'. If everything is plugged in and connected before you run the launcher (not just the game), then it should work just fine.
Hey, There! Would it be possible to get instructions for adding xbox buttons for dummies?
I will be releasing an updated version of this mod for use with Shunsq's new controller mod! Coming soon! (seriously lol)Just wait and see this updated version release...lol
hey mcindus, i just downloaded and installed the Lunatic Pandora and i donated via paypal. Everything looks great but still want some want install the xbox controller button. I downloaded the xbox360 buttons and i copied the "sy" folder from it to the texture folder in FF8/texture but it asked if it wanted to replace it not merge. I tried either way but every time i open the game and go to config/controller it still says "b1,b2,b3" etc. Wondering if you can help me out.
Thank you
Are you using the English version of the game? If you are, are you using a standard controller or? It should be fine to replace the contents of the folder, so you did fine there.
Also, do you have two FINAL FANTASY VIII/ folders or just one? if you have FINAL FANTASY VIII/FINAL FANTASY VIII/, or you have the mod installed on the wrong drive, take all of the contents from the duplicate folder and drop it all into the main
/steamapps/common/FINAL FANTASY VIII/ folder.
can you show me a screenshot of your FINAL FANTASY VIII/ folder, your /tonberry folder, your tonberry/hashmap/ and your /textures/sy folder?
yeah i am using the english version. technically im using an xbox one controller instead of a 360 but i dont think that would be an issue. i think i have one on my C drive and one on D. Would have to double check. But here are the screen shots!
Thank You

Actually, I made a bit of headway and did some troubleshooting myself.
Installing the regular psx buttons and not the 'hid' one has replaced the b1 b2 b3 etc with the pictures of the buttons.(installing the HID download doesnt replace anything with either controller) I only have one problem my X and O buttons are swapped. I tried using my PS4 controller and DS4tool as well as my Hori Minipad PS4 wired controller, both doing the same thing X and O are swapped.
Is it because I changed the default button mappings for select from default square to the X button, and the card game default button to square?
In other words i changed the Select command from button 1 to button 2, Card to from default button 3 to button 1, Menu from default button 2 to button 4, and cancel remained default button 4
I did this so that it matches the original psx ff8 buttons where menu is O and X is select, /_\ is cancel and [] is card game. also so that zells limit also matchs the psx version (punch rush is OX etc)
thats also the only thing i have tested seeing the buttons on, zells limit. when i go to do punch rush its XO instead of OX and also XO is the incorrect input for punch rush and i have to actually press circle X
sorry if this was any at all confusing, It was very hard to explain in detail for me.
Can someone please send me a good keyboard mapping free program for the controller? I'm using the ps3 controller with the Scptoolkit and I need to map the keyboard for playing with bluestacks android simulator. Thanks in advance!
I'm having some difficulty getting the Xbox 360 wireless controller buttons to show up in game, can you help?
I'm using the English Steam version of the game.
I have steam installed to my D:\ Drive, NOT my C:\ (OS) Drive, if this matters?
I payed for the Lunatic Pandora mods through the website.
I installed a clean/fresh version of FFVIII through Stream to D:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VIII
I installed Lunatic Pandora mod to the following location: D:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VIII
I can successfully launch the game in Administrator using FF8_Ultra_Launcher and I don't receive any errors so I assume its all good?
The Xbox 360 wireless controller works in game, however the button icons are mapped/displaying B1, B2 etc
I'm a little confused, I have downloaded FF8_ControllerButtons_v2.0 and copied over both:
sysfld00_17
sysfld01_17
And I'm still unable to see the button icons, I have screenshots of my folders attached.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the mod! I think I screwed something up and now I don't know how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Does anyone know how to help with this? I'm trying to get PS4 button prompts and it looks like I'm getting keyboard prompts (X,C,S,V) instead.
https://imgur.com/a/CrQHrfS (https://imgur.com/a/CrQHrfS)
Thanks again!
PS I have the lunatic pandora pack and it works great. I just need the button prompts and I'll be good to go.
move the sysfld00_17 and sysfld01_17 files UP one level... so pull them out of the xbox folder and move them into the folder with the same name, one level up the file hierarchy. you will need to copy over the ones that are in the /sysfld00 and /sysfld01 folders with those.
I'm not sure what's going on with my set up but I can't get this mod to work. All my other graphics mods are fine.
I'm using a steam controller and steam link.
I actually think the mod is probably working tbh, but I can't get the game to realise I'm using a controller. So it's showing keyboard buttons.
Anyone seen this, or know how to force the game into using a controller setup instead of keyboard?
Thanks for the help!
Using Ds4 Controlller on steam, no program, this mod doens't show the icons. This show only keyboard
Hello Mcindus. I installed your mod with my FF8 steam version and the controller button mod doesn't work. When I installed the FF8_Buttons_Main for PS4 DS4, the game is still showing keybindings not the actual ps button. I also tried installing the Shunsq version but it shows a gunblade icon. Thank you.
I'm having this issue too, no matter what I do, I just get keyboard prompts and displays instead of icons, not even B1 B2 etc etc…
tried 5 or 6 times now but it either stays at keyboard or goes nuts and uses the hand icon for everything
using ps4 controller with no other apps or mods other than steam and lunatic pandora / raw.
Any chance of a port for the remaster?
