Hey, Ok fancy giving these 3 games a replay since it has been ages since I completed them and will have probably forgotten most of the script by now plus one of my favourite franchises ever!

Question, is there a mod that will allow full controller support or work around to use controller?

Playing on TV so cant use k&m.
 
Update: After a bit of Googling got full controller support, so below may be useful to any of you looking to do the same.

Controller Support Mass Effect 1

1) Start a new game and create your character profile using K&M and launch game, save game. And exit

2) Download: http://netload.in/dateiE7x3QzaoXI.htm

3) Go into: C:\Users\?yourname?\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect\Config

Make a new folder labelled OldInis (or whatever) and transfer the 3 INI files into this folder as a backup. Then transfer the 3 new INI files from the downloaded folder into the Config folder.

That's it, pretty much perfect controller support. You might need the mouse on the odd occasion in the menu's so wireless mouse on standby would be useful.

Game Settings

Just a couple of setting tweaks to help the game to run smoothly.

In NVidia Control Panel > Manage 3D Setting > Program Settings > Select/Add Mass Effect

Antialiasing Mode - Override any application setting
Antialiasing Setting - 8X AA (Or whatever you want)
Triple Buffering - On
Verticle Sync - Adaptive

Running super smooth at highest settings, 60FPs rock solid, no tearing on a GTX 670. Uses more VRam than normal but still only around 1GB

Texture Mods

Download all 9 parts into a new folder, and extract all of them into same folder. Run file ME1UITM from Part 1 and simply follow on screen, easy peasy.

Ill update again with setting and controller support for MS2 when ive finished 1.

Thank you for those links. I am trying them out atm:)

One thing- there is also a torrent of the texture pack, so all 9 parts is not needed, in case anyone just wants one easy download.

Edit- Works perfectly so far, from what I can tell!

No probs

Did the same with Mass Effect 2 and all working perfectly fine with controller and texture mod. Can provide links if anyone wants like above.

Now problem!! Nothing out there for Mass Effect 3, finished both 1/2 but cant get controller support for 3.

If anyone's got any info on controller support for 3 would be appreciated.

I've got one semi working profile, but I think it uses a conjunction of a modded ini file along with a mapping software. No where near as good as the first two games solutions though.

Contemplating borrowing the game for the 360 but then I lose my character profile!
