PD: Remember that the first screen of the game, the blue one with the controls, have to be skipped with the keyboard "X", then you can play the entire game with the controller.

#Xinput test controller 1 not connected drivers
The last step is to configure the controller controls on the launcher the same way as the rest of versions of the game: For DirectInput it uses vendors drivers and for XInput mode it uses default Xbox360 controller drivers that built. Something you should to take into account that Final Fantasy VII only accepts DInput controllers with up to 10 buttons, which means that with this configuration we will lose the ability to use LS and RS(元 and R3) in this game, the original layout didn't use them anyways thoght.įinally just click "Apply" and the changes should be effective the next time you boot the game. This will make the D-Pad work as the Left Stick, that way you can move and navigate the menus with both the D-Pad and the Left Stick.Īs for the triggers, go to the "DirectInput" tab and tick "Enable DirectInput Output", then click on "Customize" and we would make the next changes: To make the D-Pad work go to the first tab of XInputPlus, "KeyAssing" and in the "Left Stick" box select "Multiple Key", then tick "Left Stick" and "DPAD" and click "Ok".

Then extract the program and run it as Administrator and select the Final Fantasy VII executable found in "C:/Program FIles(x86)/Steam/SteamApps/Common/FINAL FANTASY VII/ff7.exe". This guide aims to fix two problems, the first one being the controlller not being recognized, the second one the controller layout, where the xbox controllers(360 or One) cant use the D-Pad and the triggers, which changes the way the game is played in the original PlayStation or in the newer ports, like Switch or PS4.
