D-PAD TOGGLE SWITCH
The D-Pad toggle switch can be changed on the fly to any of these three settings:
DP:
This will work like a normal 8-way D-pad
LS:
This will convert the joystick into a digital emulation of the left thumb stick and how
it is mapped in game. This will be useful for games that do not support movement or
commands from a D-pad.
RS:
This will convert the joystick into a digital emulation of the right thumb stick and how
it is mapped to in game functions. This will be useful for games
that use the RS for
camera movements and other in game features not supported using a D-pad.
