AskACapper Quadriplegic Gamer Custom Button Remapping Petition

Doctor McNinja · 3 Oct 2010 at 01:51

Hi everyone, I just want to point you to a thread on the hupitgaming.com forum. A guy called Chuck Bittner, a quadriplegic known as the "can't stand-up comic" who's also and avid gamer has started a petition to get game developers to make all buttons remapable, so games are more accessible to the disabled.

I've signed it and I hope you guys do too.

Not sure if it will ever happen but signed it anyway. Don't see why this can't be implemented; you can do it in Gran Turismo 5 for example (although still limited).

There are some really amazing gamers on youtube who play despite being hanicapped. There's one guy who's posted a video of himself beating the final boss in Zelda: The Twilight Princess and he's legally blind. Just so you know there's no funny business going on he even does it blindfolded.

Always a good video to show when people they are complaining about having problems with the control pad coming from pc gaming.

I've seen him post about the XIM3 as well which could really be awesome for someone like this if his petition doesnt work.

did you look in to the XIM3? I'm sure i've seen it mentioned with you commenting on it? I dont know if anything springs to mind control wise to use with it but I'm sure you know what you need.

Signed. And I hope they all take it on board for you bud might encourage others to try it when they thought it would be to hard.
