Hey Shunsq,

The link for RaW to DLPB seems to be broken, do you have any alternate links for me? thanks!
 
someone still here in this topic?
I've the problem with the white glove, and i know the problem is because i use an XInput controller (360 wired) with big picture using mappings who use keyboard key instead (for using the D-Pad in the menu, use the trigger buttons ecc)
if i not activate steam keymappings and i let only the game see the controller, i could only use the analog stick for movement and the triggers not work (i know, ff8 on steam not natively work with XInput's triggers) and instead for L2 R2 buttons i need to use L3 and R3 (the analog pressed buttons)
there is any solution now? the better one will be using the keyboard keys on the controller with pig picture but this mod not work
 
Works with Dualshock 2 and twin usb adapter.

I'm a bit confused on how to use the 'FF8 Buttons config tool'. Can someone kindly explain to me?
It says to change the value on the right to change the icon. So according to the list below, 84 is equals to Triangle. Then what does 39A +1 mean?
39A +1   =   84   
3A4 +1   =   85      
3AE +1   =   86      
3B8 +1   =   87      
3C2 +1   =   80      
3CC +1   =   81      
3D6 +1   =   82      
3E0 +1   =   83      
3EA +1   =   88      
3F4 +1   =   8B      
3FE +1   =   89      
408 +1   =   8A


#For information:
###Standard configuration(xbox360 plug and play controller)
{   PSX icon   |   Code 
{   Cross   =   86
{   Circle     =   85
{   Square   =   87
{   Triangle   =   84
{   L1      =   82
{   R1      =   83
{   Select   =   88
{   Start      =   8B
{   L3      =   89
{   R3      =   8A
{   L2      =   80
{   R2      =   81

I am having the same issue, where all face buttons show up as a white glove. Tried a few ways to install with Mcindus's and this but nothing works too well via mapping the xbox controller via steam's layout.
 
To apply this patch you must use one of these tools:
option 1) RaW by DLPB
This first option is preferred because it is more simple to use. Just download the lite version ( no music files included, no interface), put the Raw folder, bass.dll and ddraw.dll in the same folder as your FF8_**.exe .
option 2)HEXTLAUNCH from here :  Hext tools created by DLPB.
Click to expand...
Hello, neither of options work. Thread for RaW says "The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you" and link for HEXT tools says "Sorry, the file you have requested does not exist."

Can anyone reupload the tools? I don't want to heavily mod the old version of FFVIII, just want to fix the controller icons from the PC default Button 1, 2, 3 etc.

Edit: Hext pack works, it's "Simple Music Alarm 3.4" link that is down.

I spent a lot of time trying to get this to work using the Hext Tools. I kept getting a huge list of errors in my logs about permissions and not being able to write to memory. Step 4 wasn't clear to me "Launch FF8 with the default FF8_launcher.exe". You have to click OK then Play (you know, actually launch the game itself)... Just wanted to share in case someone else might have the same issue down the road.
 
hello why  i can't download raw file it say The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you.
 
This mod doesn't work correctly for me, in the way many button icons are mixed up. Judging by both Duel and button config, it seems L1 and R1 are correct. but....

circle is a triangle
triangle is a square
square is a cross
cross is a circle
start is a R stick
select is a L stick
L2 is a select
R2 is a start

i'm currently playing italian and i'm currently using the txt files for buttons_it and buttons_config

P.S.: i'll leave this comment with this final note, thank you for the easy file to manage and edit, i feared it was more complex than this so i didn't try, but in the end i saw it has basic configuration so all i needed was to change the assigned value for each button and it's all good now!
