In this recipe, we will look at creating onscreen controls for devices that do not have physical controls. We are going to configure a control set that has a left hand analog stick, select, start, as well as the cross, and triangle buttons. We are going to layout controls for an example device, the Xperia Arc, which has a 4.2" 480 x 854 screen.
This recipe can be created on your computer, however you will require an Android device to test it, as onscreen controls cannot be run on the Vita or simulator.
To get started, locate and execute OscCustomizeTool.exe
. It will be located in the Tools
folder, under the PSM Studio install
directory. On my machine, which was installed using defaults, this file was located at C:\Program Files (x86)\SCE\PSM\tools\OscCustomizeTool
.
