The Cheaper Alternative to Gamepad Play (PS2 Version)

[EpicSauce]

As you know, keyboard playing Pokemon is both annoying and hard on the hands. We can't get back the old feelgood of GBA handheld, so we have to go with the next best thing.

In this guide, I will show you the cheaper alternative for those who don't have a PS3 remote or Bluetooth gamepad, but instead have an old PS2 remote laying around.

The first piece of equipment you are going to need is this ;

I got mine about 3 years ago and it still works, however the 2nd joypad slot on mine didn't.

I typically use this device in conjunction with a program called x360ce. This emulates the remote into an XBOX 360 remote, and it works really well!

However, for this guide, we are going to be using [url="http://www.electracode.com/4/joy2key/JoyToKey%20English%20Version.htm"]JoytoKey[/url]. This will allow you to be able to hook up your PS2 Gamepad, and designate the keys you want to use for the task.

Once the download is complete, extract it anywhere, and run JoyToKey.exe as administrator (Just to be safe)

The rest is fairly simple, the image I will use as reference was pulled from the site as well ;

You can double-click a key setting, and choose what keyboard key and joystick button to use it with.
The annoying part will be determining what key "Button 1 or 2" is on your gamepad... so what I will do instead is upload a .rar with a saved configuration for you to load into it and make it a load easier.

JoyToKey coniguration file - Place this with the .exe

I knew about JoyKey and I'm using that already for my 3rd-party USB controller, but thanks for the Amazon link!
Now I can find use for my old but very comfortable PS2 controllers
