Homebrew Swap Circle Pad with D-Pad?

[DarthDub]

Is this possible via homebrew/NTR plugin? The reason I ask is because I really want to play Metroid: Samus Returns with the D-Pad for movement instead of the Circle Pad.

I was kinda looking for the same thing, but at the latest with shooting and maneuvering by the time you’re on the 4th or 5th metroid you’ll be used to the controls. At least that’s what happen in my experience.

yea, I think button swap supports the C-pad.

Don't believe c stick support is working but I know you can swap the circle pad and dpad. Though it makes it damn near impossible to diagonally free aim.

I said C-Pad not stick.

Yeah my bad, when I see it abbreviated to "c" instead of circle my mind just thinks c stick.

I see what you're saying, but I don't see much of a point

The circle pad is analog; it can be anywhere in between fully pushed out or neutral which gives you an extra little edge of control in games.

The D-pad is either pressed or not pressed. If you were to swap these, you'd be completely destroying the point of having an analog stick.

Well I know that an analog stick will give you more possible inputs, like actual diagonal inputs vs just putting two inputs together (up/right, down/left etc.) And more precision while aiming/moving diagonally. The dpad offers tighter controls for standard vertical and horizontal movements. An analog is very unforgiving when it comes to this. I can see why people would want this in samus returns, but it kind of breaks some of the new features, which then makes it more of a burden
