Armored Core 3 - True Analogs
VanLaser's mod adds real dual-analog controls to Armored Core 3, which originally only steered with digital buttons.
What it changes
Armored Core 3, FromSoftware's 2002 mech action game, controls its mech with the shoulder buttons and the d-pad. VanLaser's True Analogs mod retrofits proper analog control onto it.
How it works
The left stick handles forward, backward and strafing, and the right stick turns and looks up and down. The right-stick movement reuses the analog formulas from the later Armored Core: Nine Breaker, so turning speeds up smoothly with how far the stick is pushed instead of acting like an on/off button. Buttons can still be remapped in the game's own menu, and each patch comes with an inverted look version.
Playing it
The mod comes as cheat files for a recent PCSX2 build, or as PPF patches for your own copy of the game (USA, Europe and Japan versions are supported). In-game replays don't play back correctly with analog movement, and only the first controller gets the new controls. Follow the instructions in VanLaser's repository.
