What do I type into the config file to make the D-pad work in game and have A and B the action, jump and attack buttons?

You can change the controls by running 'setup.exe' in your game's folder.

Y I know how to do that but what would I type into the config to get the D-pad and A,B,Y and X to work?

Please look at the picture attached. When you you run 'setup.exe', you need to switch from keyboard to Joypad (I circled it in red in the picture). By default, the game uses the D-pad to move, and you can set A,B,Y, and X to do whatever you want.

Thanks, I feel kind of stupid hahaha I thought all the mapping was in the config file I didn't even think to check the setup file hahaha
