Non-Remaster Steam version!
Randomizes controller controls while playing FF8 by reading and shuffling the control mapping in the game's memory while you play. Does not affect keyboard controls/mapping.
- OFF: Directional controls and buttons are randomized in separate pools.
- ON: Everything is randomized in the same pool.
- OFF: Performs the randomization on a timed interval (set by the user)
- ON: Performs the randomization whenever the party changes screens in game
Restores your original controller configuration when you click stop, so do that before quitting the game or the randomizer.
FF8 (Steam) stores the controller map in memory. These addresses are changed by the game when the player goes to Menu > Config > Controls. If we change these addresses programatically, the game accepts the changes immediately and uses the new controls.
The addresses are as follows:
| Offset (EN) | Length | Description |
|---|---|---|
| FF8_EN.exe+18D0228 | 1 byte | L2 |
| FF8_EN.exe+18D0229 | 1 byte | R2 |
| FF8_EN.exe+18D022A | 1 byte | L1 |
| FF8_EN.exe+18D022B | 1 byte | R1 |
| FF8_EN.exe+18D022C | 1 byte | Walk/Cancel |
| FF8_EN.exe+18D022D | 1 byte | Menu |
| FF8_EN.exe+18D022E | 1 byte | Select/Talk |
| FF8_EN.exe+18D022F | 1 byte | Card Game |
| FF8_EN.exe+18D0234 | 1 byte | Up |
| FF8_EN.exe+18D0235 | 1 byte | Right |
| FF8_EN.exe+18D0236 | 1 byte | Down |
