Sanjinii's Notes

This configuration uses action layers activated by ZR and ZL. The action layers are at the bottom surrounded by =====. Make separate text files for them and remove them from the config. This tries to use a radial menu, which doesn't work very well in JSM. I recommend using Steam for the Left Stick's Radial Menu with an always-on Activation style.

Alternatively, here's the Steam Version of this config: steam://controllerconfig/212680/2592742817

Steam Version with Nintendo Button Layout: steam://controllerconfig/212680/2592736356

Name this config "FTLGame.txt" for it to auto-load correctly

How to Use this Config

Using JoyShockMapper configurations is easy once you know how. If you haven't used it before, check out the guide. For using a community config like this one, you only need to get through the first two sections — Installing JSM and Using an already-made configuration file.

Just copy the above configuration into a text file, change the IN_GAME_SENS to match your in-game settings, and then drag that file into JoyShockMapper and hit Enter to use it right away. Some games have their own limitations with certain controllers or require some extra setup, so make sure to check for any notes near top of the main FTL: Faster Than Light page.
