Support for the Resistance Remastered Controls plugin by TheOfficialFloW

[AdrCant]

New Feature

This is the first time I’m opening an issue thread; I wasn't sure where to put it, and the bugs section doesn’t allow me to explain what’s happening, so I decided to post it here. Thank you in advance.

I’ve encountered a problem with this collection of plugins designed for those who own a PS Vita with Adrenaline. Its purpose is to enable full support for the second analog stick of the Vita in the following games:

— Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories — Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories — Lara Croft: Tomb Raider Legend — Lara Croft: Tomb Raider Anniversary — Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines (This was removed by the author; I assume it was because it interfered with one of the tutorial sections, as I don’t see any other reason for its removal) — Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Essentials — Resistance: Retribution — Prince of Persia: Revelation — Prince of Persia: Rival Swords — Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep (+ Final Mix) — Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker — Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops — The Warriors — Tony Hawk Project 8

I’ve been testing them, and from what I’ve seen, all of them work well except for the one for Resistance Retribution; this one simply doesn’t work at all. I’ve tried installing it both in the GAME section and by GAME ID, but it didn’t help at all. This plugin makes the most changes by taking advantage of a feature that the game already has. What it does is trick the game into thinking you’re playing with a PS3 controller, activating Plus mode by assigning R2 and L2 to the right and left buttons of the D-pad, and assigning R3 to down. It also provides a way to unlock the Infected mode, which is normally unlocked by connecting the game to a copy of Resistance 2, simply by placing an empty file titled resistance_infected.bin in seplugins.

Would it be possible to make this plugin work correctly in ARK-4?

The plugin works fine, I used it myself and haven't had an issue, is arkrightanalog (native vita plugin) installed?

[AdrCant]

No, I didn't know about that plugin. I'm going to install it and check if it solves the problem.

[JoseAaronLopezGarcia]

It should have been already installed by FasterARK, unless you did a manual installation.

I installed it via Adrenaline; I didn't use FasterArk.

Did you correctly install the plugin via ARK-4 then. We use a diffrent plugin system than adrenaline does. It does look like afterwards there are some extra steps that the fl0w states in his readme also.

I installed it following the method indicated in the corresponding section of the wiki: https://github.com/PSP-Archive/ARK-4/wiki/Plugins

The collection has not been updated since 2020; no new instructions have been added.

I mean to make sure nothing is mapped to right analog as it states in his readme. But guess Acid need to test on ADR to see if it works there.

I tried installing via FasterArk, in case it was an issue exclusive to the Adrenaline installation, but it didn’t work either.
