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?

Hello mcindus,

I am also having the same problem as well but with the psx and psx hid buttons. I have checked and rechecked to make sure I installed them correctly as per the installation notes. But all mappings still read as 'b1 b2' etc.

Maybe i'm not getting the part about what controllers are compatible with this mod? I'm using a Hori mini ps4 game pad model PS4-100U

Would I need to use an actual xbox controller or ps3/ps4 controller and something like ds4tool or motionjoy to see the change?

Thanks in advance!

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!

You have to put all of the contents of the C:/FINAL FANTASY VIII/ folder into the REAL 'FINAL FANTASY VIII/' folder that contains the FF8_EN.exe file.
So that last image you posted has everything, but all of that needs to be moved into your -real- FF8 parent folder.  Mine is in steamapps/common/FINAL FANTASY VIII/

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.

If that image doesn't work, there are a few other links in this thread that you can try out.  I will update the main page post with these links and a new mod version as well as a version to use with Shunsq's controller mod.

Hey McIndus - I use the FF7 button layout.. triangle (menu), x (select), circle (cancel), square (switch). Do you have a layout that would align with this?

I've struggled for tens of hours trying to get my controls to "perfectly" match the PSX's control scheme, to no avail, probably because of something trivial. Instead I have created a Steam Controller Config for a more "traditional" setup (e.g. Triangle is Menu).

steam://controllerconfig/39150/1573060929


This uses the default launcher settings.

In Game:


Think I am going to cave and finally get a Steam controller.

Try Antimicro https://github.com/AntiMicro/antimicro/releases I use it for alot of Steam games without controller support and it works pretty well.

Tonberry is OK, SeeD is OK, since I can see the graphic change when I load up FFVIII, but sadly my 360 controller does not work even with 2.0.

Can anyone help? Not a big fan of playing in KB/M games such as this one.

NEVERMIND.

The controller works after I load up my savefile. THX!

I'm using your mod and all works good, but my d pad still doesn't work, i would like to play with analog AND d pad, i tried with joytokey like i do with ff7, but it's look like that ff8 ignore joytokey so i can't use my d pad :/
Any solution for this?

use the image above as a guide. With ff8 on steam it has steam controller support so if you follow that post youll be able to get both your dpad and joysticks to work. It worked out of the box for me with my DS4 controller and 360 afterglow.

I don't know how but finally joytokey works well ^^ thx for your help !

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.

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.

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.

If you're using a mapper program, you will need to use the HID folder for your layout.  If you're using a default input control setup, just use the files in the /main folder.  You may need to use HID, from what I see.

Brilliant! this worked thank you for the help.

On a separate note, am I expecting to much from the Lunatic Pandora mod? I don't receive any errors when its launched, however, textures don't look as good as what I've seen on YouTube using the same mod, is there anyway I can actually find out if the mods are all working?

Hello, Mcindus. I have a little problem. I have Antimicro tool, and so I'm using HID version of Xbox setup.
The game still shows generic button prompts, called 1, 2, 3, and so on... This until I press something.
If I press a button on my controller, then it shows the retexture with Xbox buttons. But when I release the button, generic prompts comes back.

To summarize: game shows Xbox buttons ONLY in the time I'm pressing a button on the controller.

Obviously I'm using latest Tonberry and italian version of SeeD Reborn. I also tried to use the hashmap in the archive of this mod, but without success.

EDIT: I tried Main version of your mod, and it works better. Xbox prompts are showed also if I don't press a button.
The only problem, is the infamous A+R shown together.
And it doesn't show LT and RT triggers. In the HID version, are showed as L and R stick. In the Main version, aren't showed at all.

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!
