Xbox 360/PS/Switch controller

The simulator is Steam Input compatible. This means that controller commands can be configured via Steam. To do this, once the controller is connected, simply click on "Controller configuration" to display the configuration screen.

Once on the configuration screen, simply select one of the 3 action groups, then click on View/Modify Layout.

Zuiki "Densha de Go" controller

The simulator supports this controller natively. However, you may need to configure it in Steam when you first connect it.

Once the controller is connected, go to “Steam -> Settings -> Controller”. Depending on the model, the name will be “ZUIKI Mascon” or “One Handle Mascon”. Then click on “Begin Setup” and press the keys in this order, not too fast:

A, B, X, Y, Left, Right, Up, Down, A, A, Push on EB and go back to N, Pull on P5 and go back to N, A, A, A, A, A, A, L, ZL, R, ZR, -, +, Home, Capture

Once done, you can close the configuration window and the settings window.

If you need to restart the configuration (due to an error), click on “Start test” in the parameters, then on “Configure controller inputs”.

Next, open the controller settings for JRETS (via the joystick button on the game screen in the library). Click on the current layout (“Official layout: DirectInput Default”).

Then go to “Search” and select the “ZUIKI MASCON” layout and click “Apply layout”.

You can now close the configuration window. The controller is now ready for use.
