XBox 360 Controller

This MOD adds full XBOX 360 controller support for playing Mass Effect 1.

he Mass Effect game shipped with all the original XBOX controller interfaces but in a very broken state with some functionality removed. This mod corrects these issues and re-implements features where necessary. The MOD switches over to use all the xbox user interfaces, with the exception of mini games/loadsave and settings. These exceptions have been adjusted to work with the controller.

Installing this MOD will break some elements of the keyboard and mouse support. The console will work fine. If you want to play with keyboard and mouse, uninstall this mod.

1.2.0 Release Notes

• Fixes HUD layout during certain sections of the game where the UI would appear behind the radar. Like for example while deactivating the demolition charges.
• Changes the quasar ui to be the one from the xbox.
• Reduces the subtitle and conversation wheel font size to match the PC version. Size 22 to 16.

Installation

Install order:  ME1 -> DLC (Optional)-> MEUITM (Optional)-> ME1Controller

1. Run the game at least once to create the games profile settings.
2. Extract the files from the archive using winrar or 7-zip.
3. Copy the contents of Config (Backup originals first) to: C:\Users\\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect\Config

4. Copy the contents of "Mass Effect" directory to your install directory overriding the originals (Back them up first). These files should override the original files.

Example directories:

• Steam: C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Steam \ steamapps \ common
• Origin: C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Origin Games

Common Problems:

- No power wheel appears; I can't put points into stats; Low sensitivity when aiming.

You have copied the config correctly but you have not overridden the game binaries.

- Can't loot containers.

You have ignored the instructions and you have copied the config into the game folder (The one with all the default.ini files). These need to be copied to the user profile.

- No controller prompts at all.

You have not copied the config correctly.

- Controller doesn't work.

This MOD will only work against the primary Xinput controller. Check you don't have other XInput wrappers or controllers attached.
