i just got dead space 2 but i'm so disappointed

I can only reply with what everyone else has said, I am seriously impressed. I also want to try and help though. I use AutoHotKey now and then so have knocked up this really small script.

Download autohotkey from here: http://www.autohotkey.com/download/
Copy the code from here: http://www.paste.to/NzczNQ==
Put it in a file called "Deadspace2Remap.ahk" - location is unimportant but it needs to be .ahk.
Here's my small script to rebind R Mouse to w but I have also included example code so you can see what else is possible. The symbol ";" at the start of the line means comment - ie AutoHotKey ignores anything on the line with ; at the start as it's a comment about the code. Feel free to adjust as you like.

To run an autohotkey script you double click the .ahk file. This will run until you stop it (check the system tray for the icon and r click - but as I switched this to W it might be easier to shutdown the process called autohotkey.exe which will do the same thing).

Bonus edit: If you can re-map the keys that don't usually remap on your mouse to something autohotkey can "watch" it might be possible to double remap eg: remap in your mouse software usualbutton1 to Mouse4 then remap in AHK Mouse4 to X
thanks mate

i will give this a try...
 
Remap the left stick or whichever u like to use so that instead of moving side to side u look left and right and the up and down part of the same stick moves u forward and back instead of lookin up and down. I thought one of the sticks to move and the dpad to fire, switch weapons etc and ignore the rest also if u press the sticks down theirs a button too.
i like the idea of that. i'll have another play with it.
 
Wow even though I can’t help you in regards to customising the controls for Dead Space 2, I am totally blown away by your video… I’ve never seen anything quite like that before. Games are complicated enough to play with conventional controls, and there are a few who can’t even manage this some of the time..

What you’ve done is truly inspirational and pure skill…. I agree, it’s an important message to developers on how critical it could be to allow customisable controls..

Thankfully, some of the more knowledgeable folks on this forum are trying to help you around the issue. I hope you get the game working for your method of playing, but again… Hats off to you… A truly amazing and inventive way to play video games… Amazing…
 
^ almost like those movies where you see guy walking and running in some virtual world while in real life not so. Impressive and total respect
 
Gareth, what condition do you suffer from? Can you move your neck or feet? Do you play driving games in the same way?
i have cerebal palsy from birth.. yes i can move my neck and feet but i can't control my movements of my arms, hands, legs, also can't speak much. yep i play driving games in the same way with a xbox360 controller.

Is it possible to maybe use foot pedels for gaming, apart from driving games

That's what i was getting at. :) i'm thinking TrackIR and some G25 pedals. I'm sure with the help of others on here, we could get the pedals working without the need for the wheel. I read somewhere that you could make a DIY TrackIR with the use of a Wii mote and a logitech camera. You put the Wii mote onto a baseball cap, remove the filter from the camera lens, and you basically have TrackIR.
