Could someone provide the swap profile with the following changes:
Left D-Pad <-> L Trigger
Right D-Pad <-> R Trigger

I'm trying to play Xenoblade Chronicles but I find it very uncomfortable to constantly move my thumb down from the circle pad onto the D-Pad for attack selection.

Thanks in advanced.
You can find it in AmberLoss's 'Master List' a few pages back.

I wish to swap L/R and ZL/ZR but only in the Home menu. Is this the right tool to do so?
If not how should I go about modding the Home menu ?

I just wish to scroll page Left with L and page right with R, instead of ZL/ZR.
Like they should have made it in the first place imho.
Thanks.

So I was making a TN to IPS replacement but in the process I damaged the home button, is it possible to remap the ZR or ZL to be a alternative home button?

So for some weird reason the only button remapper that's worked for me has been the first one made, B <> A and none of the others work.

I want to change L to D-Left but the one posted here (cesarpk) and all similar versions (Brongus+AlmostBadKoala, SirKyogre_Left, SurpriseTridoron) don't seem to work for some reason. It'll say that it was injected but won't work, even if I turn the 3DS off and on and try it again.

I'm using a New 3DS if that's an issue? I don't think I've done anything wrong, I've just moved the .cia onto my 3DS, installed it via FBI and opened up the software and let it run, closing it with start as it asks.

Although now that I've tried to install other cia's my 3DS doesn't want to put them on the home menu....

Can't speak to the ones posted by other users, but I just used one made with the ButtonSwap3DS Builder tool and it works fine. I swapped my Select to A so I can mash through Stella Glow text without my A button dying.

And now the neogeo retroarch emulator becomes fully enjoyable ! Thanks you very much ! Great help !
PS : and the cream would be to have the webapp as a cia app for the 3ds as standalone app :).

Hi, I'm Spanish-speaking, But try to ask my question in English, Here it goes, I try to make the D-Pad include the function of the Joystick, But the following happens: When pressing down and left on the D-Pad, It works correctly, Meets the It works as if it were the joystick, but when pressing up and right, it moves down and right, respectively. What do you think this error is due to?

Will it be possible to disable Circle Pad entirely?

My pad is malfunctioning and always downwards. I have replaced the pad and the stick underneath it. No luck. I even removed it, there is still an input being registered.

Bumping this thread. Has anyone figured out a way to map the c stick yet? Some games like spiderman were designed for dual analog sticks and have a manual camera; however, because the cstick isn't used they have the camera controlled with the dpad. Being able to map the cstick to the dpad would make games like this go from unplayable to playable. Also, all these posts about remapping as a workaround for broken buttons, just open the 3ds to repair the button. It's almost always an incredibly easy and quick fix.

Honestly, your better choice is to follow the suggestion of the last poster and use rehid. It is amazing.
