I am so pissed off at this.
For those who don't know my posting history, I was born with a degenerative muscle wasting disease, spinal muscular atrophy, the older I get the weaker I get.
Never struggled to play video games as a young kid, I had a unique way of holding the ps1 controller that worked.
The PS2 forced analog sticks on me, making the controller harder to hold, but i adapted my way of playing.
The PS3/Wii forced unusable motion controls on me, and PS3 games featured heavy use of L3/R3, buttons I didn't have the strength to push. On Wii, I only bought games the supported traditional controllers, on PS3, I'd skate by without the L3/R3 buttons or use my chin if I absolutely had to press them, and thankfully sixaxis shit didn't last long.
By this time, controllers were more complex, games were forcing you to use all buttons on the controller, and my disease slowly began making me weaker and much harder to play many games, mostly, games with heavy use of triggers.
GRAND THEFT AUTO V was the first game I could not play effectively, GTA IV let you remap vehicle controls to the face buttons, making it easier to drive, but GTA V didn't have this option, there were different options for on foot controls but not for cars....
It was then I discovered the cronusmax. With the scripting feature, I could have it switch control layouts on the fly when exiting and entering a vehicle, so I could have accelerate and brake and reverse on the face buttons, and have normal controls restored just by tapping triangle while exiting a vehicle. This was life changing.
I HAVE NEVER, AND WILL NEVER, USE THINGS SUCH AS ANTI RECOIL SCRIPTS, WITH PROPER REMAPPING AND SHORTCUTS I DON'T NEED THAT SHIT
I'm really fucking scared that next gen consoles will ban this thing because assholes have to ruin everything, I can't play without it. I don't blame the hostile responses in this topic, simply put nobody knows the benefits of such a device, when 90% of people use it for evil. Whenever I see this topic come up I try to educate people to it's benefits, but I am only one man.
Xbox/PS4 os options are hyper limited, and even devs that go the extra mile for accessibility don't even touch what the cronus can do to ensure I can keep playing. Hell the Xbox's accessibility app doesn't even allow remapping of the triggers.
Since then I have only grown weaker, and rely on it more and more. I don't need a custom controller, the dualshock 4 is perfect in terms of shape, size, and weight. For those who are curious how someone like me uses it, read some of my examples below...
Inability to use anything other than the dualshock 4: Cronusmax lets me use my DS4 on PS2, gamecube, xbox, PS3, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and Dreamcast
Games that require you to press L3 + R3 simultaneously: Via scripting, I got a shortcut, L1 + PS button will do this for me
My inability to use the L3 and R3 buttons: Via scripting, L3 is mapped to the left side of the touchpad, R3 is mapped to the right side of the touchpad, just touch the touchpad and easy access to those functions is mine
Tilting guns in rainbow six siege: Tilting guns is something I couldn't do at all and I can't reach the touchpad while ADSing, so I made it where while holding the aim button, X and Square are temporarily remapped to L3 and R3 for easy tilting, they go back to normal when not ADSing.
Lock-on in the yakuza games: Freaking yakuza games make you hold R1 to lock on to enemies I dunno why it's not a toggle, via scripting I can hold it for two seconds to make it hold it for me while I focus on combat, simply tap to disable it.
I understand people's desire to see these things banned, I see people using anti recoil in Siege everyday and it's not a small number of people either, but a very small number of people like myself depend on the scripting options. I'll be deveastated if I can't use it on PS5
