ROM Hack Possible to create button hack for LoZ SS?

[m37r01d]

Is it possible to create a mod to change the controller config on skyward sword using the pro controller?

The L button if held allows you to use the right joystick to move around the camera, without it being held it is used for swinging the sword.

Is it possible to modify the game where L is a toggle button for camera/sword usage instead of holding the L button to run around?

Doesn't the Switch allow for button remapping in the system settings?

Remap button in system settings-> controllers and sensors-> change button mapping.

You can remap buttons but this is a change in functionality, so not a particularly helpful comment.

I mean it's possible, perhaps through something like sys con, expect it wouldn't be super difficult if you are familiar with coding to add a "sticky keys" style toggle. Might be worth giving the dev a shout.

OP wants to invert the camera/sword function.
Button mapping won't help with that.

Wanted is most likely:
hold L to use camera & w.o. L use sword
=> ☑ hold L to use sword & w.o. L use camera

I suggest contacting Ninty...
That way even unhacked/modded users'll benefit.

Digital Foundry also touched on this issue in their SSHD analysis.

Logistically, I'm not sure how one would conveniently Z-target and L-sword at the same time. I'd recommend looking at alternatives using button remapping.

Good point i suppose z-target would have to cancel the toggle if in the camera toggle.

u can probably make such a mod with a Titan Two.

id imagine, when L is not pressed, output L is pressed. When L is pressed, output L is not pressed.

assuming its as simple as that.

EDIT: i guess the better answer is what was said above. same thing, but with Sys-con, or some other similar homebrew. especially if you dont have a titan two laying around (or want to do it in handheld mode).

Maybe a cheat code might be possible too? I think you might be able to make a cheat code like that, could be wrong.

 

[Vinhbapp]

Yes, I think a revert of the camera/sword controls would vastly improve the experience

 

[cucholix]

Imo sword attacks should only be active when holding ZL (Z targeting), the right stick should move the camera by default.

You can.

 

[silvershadow]

You can.

ahaha nice! i knew getting a titan two while it was available locally for me was a good idea! lol.

We have a console that's been broken wide open and basically capable of anything. The solution is not spending another $200 lol

lol, i agree

Banz99 has forked Mission Control to allow toggling of the L button, for Bluetooth-connected controllers anyway.

 

[falcorr]

A sys-module / overlay doesn't look too complicated, just checking out libnx, e.g. via the hid and pad source. The example that prints controller inputs is a good starting point. Haven't got around to a serious crack at it but might at some point.

It'd be useful to have a homebrew mapping overlay in general. The ability to toggle inputs would be great beyond Skyward Sword.

 

[Fadi5555]

I hope if we can do the same thing with Mario Galaxy. Collecting starbits by using right analog stick. Like Nvidia shield version.

 

[Apache Thunder]

What I'd really like to see is ability to use analog stick for swimming/loftwing while retaining sword motion controls. Though the Camera L button thing seems like an easy hack to do. It's just a matter of finding someone with the skills who wants to research that.

Would love to see this
