Trigger control mappings

Last update: April 14, 2024

This patch is shipped with PCSX2 starting with v1.7.5712.

This patch adds four “modern” control schemes to the game, with throttle/brake sensitivity tuned for the range of triggers. Those are:

  • Setup E – a cut mapping from the prototype builds of Hot Pursuit 2.
  • Setup F – mapping inspired by the Xbox version of Underground.
  • Setup G – mapping inspired by the Type 2 setup from the PS2 version of Underground.
  • Setup H – mapping inspired by the Xbox version of Hot Pursuit 2.
