A hello, How do you do, and need some help thread.

Welcome to the forums Gawerty!

I opened this thread with a measure of dread to be quite honest, but as soon I read your post a big smile began to plaster itself upon my lips.

You, my good sir/madam, are one the most coherent junior posters that we've had in quite a long while, and thus, it is my great pleasure to welcome you into the world of PPSSPP.

Here are some of the answers to your queries:-

1. The aforementioned github repository builds are most definitely imbued with the ability to manage keymapping for a variety of controllers. If you're already using an external application to emulate your DualShock 3 controller as a X360 one (like Motioninjoy or x360ce), it'd work swimmingly, and every key can be mapped to your liking. It is still rather rudimentary in appearance, but completely functional.

Here's an example of the Key mapping screen in the latest build:-

2. Crisis Core plays absolutely beautifully on the latest test builds. There have been rather drastic improvements to both the graphical fidelity of the game and its performance too in recent builds, so I'd most definitely recommend the latest ones as compared to the official 0.8.1 revision for this game in particular.

I'd also recommend that you check out the following guides for the emulator:-

Once again, welcome to the forums, and thank you, for that well written and thought out first post.

+1 rep to you.
