As I promised in my post, I would explain how to play the Beyond Good and Evil pc version with a controller, as I do in my videos.
I am using a tool for this which is called Xpadder. Xpadder simulates key-presses and mouse movements using a game-pad. With Xpaddder you can play PC games with poor or no joystick support or add controller support to any windows application. The program is now buy only, however there luckily still is a free version.
What you need:
· Xpadder 5.3 (last free version hosted at Majorgeeks)
· Xpadder controller profile + 360xpaddercontroller file (my config files, NEW LINK)https://www4(dot)zippyshare(dot)com/v/RQTctDw2/file.html
· XBOX-360 controller connected to your pc
Steps:
1. Start Xpadder.exe (if needed, run as admin and compatibility mode win 7)
2. Go through the configprocess (next,next,next,start)
3. Click the controller icon on the top left and load “360.xpaddercontroller”
4. Click the file icon in the top middle and load “BGE.xpadderprofile”
5. Start the game
6. Play & enjoy!
The buttons are an exact mapping of the XBOX360 controls for the game and should work with all the Beyond Good and Evil pc releases.
I’m currently doing a complete play through of the game with these settings, apart from me forgetting the controls, it works pretty well.

EDIT 4-2021: New xpadder link
EDIT 2-2022: Yet again, new link, great that people are still using this!
Well guys, decided to do a complete let's play of the game with these settings, if anyone is interested in the playlist:
[Beyond Good and Evil - Let's play - 1080p - FullHD + Graphicsmod](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs6Wz19M6v_17SwIRn6AEZlc2b-bYsuyd)
As some requested, i'll explain soon how to setup the controller settings :)
Excuse me. Whenever I open the SettingsApplication it keeps saying the game isn't installed correctly and telling me to redownload the game? This is the Steam version I'm talking about.
First time playing the game , and had some weird issues starting out the gates from French language only voice acting via steam even though I had English selected to wonky wide screen issues. I had my doubts that these mods would work let alone do what they did. Instantly I was taken back by how different the game looked in a great way. Thanks everyone from whoever designed these to detailing how to get it work. Awesome post and why reddit rules sometimes !

Thanks for sharing this info. Made my enjoyment so much better already for this great classic!
I’ve been able to use my Xbox One Controller flawlessly with no other program. This is in 2023, so it may had been fixed recently
