| hmm sounds dodgy to me, surely the controller can be loaded using a driver, i presume it is, if this is the case, then the driver can be modified to switch the thumbsticks, or better still have an interface to the driver allowing any configuration to be set. This is then used when any game is loaded. I doubt that every game has its own controller driver written for it... |
No, it isn't "loaded as a driver" - like most of the hardware control code, it's all packed in libraries, and statically linked into the apps.
You can patch these, of course, after a LOT of work in discovering where the critical code is.
...or you can modify a $7.99 controller to swap out the thumbstick wiring. This might require a bit of work as well, as the thumbstick switches may be mounted to a board, but you can look around for other controllers as well.
