Ive been using a PS2 controller, which has no such problem, but has other problems. | ||

Bluetooth link doesn't work for me and Dark Souls has a problem detecting my PS3 controller, so I'm using the XBOX driver/enable setup through a USB port. | ||

Any odd translations of things like buttons to keyboard? Just curious, as I'm hesitant to purchase it because it looks like a shoddily done port that I'll have to install 100 mods on to fix. Any glaring issues I should be award of before considering a purchase? It is pretty much a straight port, but I doubt 100 mods even exist yet for it. All you need is 2 things, motionjoy for the ps3 controller as ssxsilver says, and the dsfix for higher resolution rendering found here http://blog.metaclassofnil.com/?tag=dsfix | ||

I also recently started to use the save backup feature lol so when i fuck up too badly i'll just revert to an older save(i know im a pussy) | ||

after installing dsfix, when I go into game, I only get a small window thats only 1/3rd of my screen. While my UI/hud like those 4 slots are at the normal position on my screen. And when I go into any menu, I get a full screen, but after I leave, it returns to 1/3rd again | ||

And then I FINALLY got it off, even if I ace my upcoming Japanese test, this obisidian greatsword will be my greatest accomplishment of this month. Fucking thing is hilariously easy too, one of the easiest bosses in the game, it's just that damn tail that makes him a pain. | ||

Nothing major. Im not playing online by the way. So no marks on the floor for me. Yeah i never look at the wiki anymore i'm using save states to explore possibilities which i prefer over 100 play though, subsequent play thorough are more going to be directed at build exploration rather then just general exploration. | ||
