Hi! I tried to get the joy to key program you recommended. The website was an accessibility nightmare, at least for me. I finally got the software, but it's nothing but a whole bunch of unlabeled buttons. So, unfortunately, it's not going to work for me. Was there an older version that might have been more screen reader friendly, or I wonder if there are other programs out there that do the same thing. I still appreciate the suggestion, though. I had so much hope for all the possibilities it might open up, but at least for now, it seems as though it was not meant to be.

>>> I will preface this by saying that until today, I have never seen a modern game controller in my life. I'm trying to wrap my head around the PlayStation DualSense controller I just purchased; I don't know if there is a different controller I should have chosen, but from what I could tell, this one was the most affordable. Through trial and error, I have figured out most functions. However, I've noticed that with the left, right, up and down arrows, only three of them are functional. Is there any chance that maybe someday, the up arrow could be mapped for jumping in the same way that the down arrow works for crouching? There seem to be several other buttons on the controller that are redundant; whatever the button is to the right of the "cross" button seems to work for crouching as well as the down arrow. I know it's not the scope of a game to help with this, but something that could tell me the buttons on the controller would be pretty useful. I've figured things out through trial and error, and I think the controller was a good investment, but it's definitely got a learning curve. Thank you very much, and I feel like I actually have a chance of completing the game now when I never have before. :-)

Hi,

sorry, friend told me long long ago that he is using it. I am
investigating what he is using today. I didn't realized that this may
drastically got worse.
