Does xpadder still work?

I play an Aran. I used to use joy2key, but my xbox controller now has a barely working B button because there was no turbo. So I got xpadder, which has the turbo I needed to save my controller (and my thumb).

But it seems when I plug in my controller, Maple now registers it completely and overrides xpadder's key mapping. The controller's buttons only respond to Maple and not xpadder. From what I heard, Maple's built-in joypad system is less responsive than joy2key and has no turbo anyway, so that's useless to me.

Is there any way to get xpadder working like back in the day? I just came back so a recent patch must have caused something with the controller interactions in this game.

Just tested and it still works fine for me. I've had a few problems with Xpadder in the past, all of which were resolved by going to device manager, uninstalling the controller as a device, unplugging it, uninstalling Xpadder, then plugging the controller back in and reinstalling. My sister used to have a weird issue where the only button that would work with a controller was jump, regardless of which button she set jump to in-game, I've never seen anyone else with that though. It was working fine when she started playing again a few months after iirc.

*when I say uninstalling I mean just deleting all the Xpadder related files, since I don't think it actually has an installer

You must also turn off the joypad key settings in game when you plugin the controller or it will go into a press both buttons. When its plugged in there will be default keys attached there, feel free to delete and it should remember your last settings.

I did that, didn't work.

controller plugged in, all ingame joypad options set to none, keyboard works again, xpadder and my controller still don't.

If XPadder fails, make sure you run as administrator when starting it. I was only commenting on the default keys in addition to what Mazz said.

No, I got xpadder to work. Mashed some buttons on notepad and it works.

Unless running as admin somehow lets it override Maple, if that's what you meant.

It allows it to run on maple for quite a bit of people that had trouble before. Since i disabled the pop up admin thing, all my stuff runs as admin. I have it running fine on 2 computers for MS. If it fails, restart and attempt again I suppose.
