Revision as of 20:05, 13 September 2019

Below are the default controls for Shield Cat. You are able to customize these controls by using the Input Configurations files, but it is currently not possible to remap them in game. This will be addressed in a future update.

Shield Cat will attempt to automatically map controls to common controllers, such as the XBOX 360 Wired controller, the Playstation 4 controller, or the 8bitdo SN30 Pro. In the event the game does not have a default configuration for the controller you connected, you will receive the following error:

 One of the controllers you connected couldn't be automatically mapped.
 You'll have to configure it manually from the Controller Config menu,
 or edit gamepad.ini.
 
 The controller's identifier is 
 d62011a7000000000000504944564944_Core (Plus) Wired Controller

If this happens to you, and you wish to contribute a controller mapping for the unknown controller, please check this thread for more information.

Shield Cat does not work with Playstation 3 controllers.

Please do not attempt to use a Playstation 3 controller with the game, or submit bug reports about them. Your report will be deleted.
