Common 06 Port Problems & Fixes

Few things lead to frustration quicker than when you need to play the original DMC3 PC 2006 Port in a pinch, and your game doesn’t want to cooperate. Assuming you followed either:

Hies Tools is banned. Please use either Style Switcher 2.4.3 or 3.1.6 (latest from the Nexus mod).

I am tryinig to Install StyleSwitcher and modify other files but nothing is happening ?

This happens because the game was installed in a directory that requires administrator permissions. As a result, tools like the installer, XInput, Notepad, and others must be run as an administrator to make any changes to the game’s root folder.

Can I have two seperate StyleSwitcher installations ?

Yes to practice more efficiently in certain segements. After all, StyleSwitcher has an arcade mode that lets you pre-select your missions and equipment on start and other features like reset room and 0 death..etc. Therefore, you don't have to do the whole mission again. To have two installations of a game on Steam

  • Rename the game's root folder ie. Steam\steamapps\common\Devil May Cry 3\ to something else.
  • Launch the game from Steam two times. First it'll tell you there's something wrong and the next time it'll download the game again to a new folder.
  • Then to toggle between those two, simply rename the folders so Steam recognizes only one Devil May Cry 3 folder ie.
    • Folder A: Devil May Cry 3 RAW
    • Folder B: Devil May Cry 3

I want to change Button Prompts

Copy all the files to Steam\steamapps\common\Devil May Cry 3\data2 or Steam\steamapps\common\Devil May Cry 3\native\rom

My Controller is not Mapped Correctly

Before trying anything else, make sure to disable Steam Input through Steam library by Right Click DMC3 > properties > controller > disable steam input from the dropdown list and test through the game.

This usually happens because people forget to configure XInput Plus and skip an important step involving the XInputPlus.ini file in the game’s root folder. Open the file in Notepad, then scroll down until you find the X2DInput section.

Replace 

 LS_X=X_Axis
 LS_Y=Y_Axis

With 

 LS_X=Y_Axis
 LS_Y=X_Axis

Next, download the fix from the SRC Resource and replace the DMC3SE.ini file if you’re using a PS4 or Xbox One Controller. If you’re using a different type of controller, you’ll need to create a new controller definition in DMC3SE.ini instead. 

[<controller name>]
START =
SELECT =
CIRCLE =
TRIANGLE =
SQUARE =
CROSS =
L1 =
R1 =
L2 =
R2 =
L3 =
R3 =
L<->R =
  • Go to Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers, left click your controller under Devices, select Game controller settings, and click Properties.
  • Where it says [<controller name>], enter the name of the controller as it appears in the Game Controllers window, for example [USB Joystick]
  • Using the Properties window, type in the number of the button you wish to map to a function, minus 1. For example, if you wish to map TRIANGLE to Y, the Properties window says it is button 4 when pressed, so enter 3 for the line to read TRIANGLE = 3.
  • The line that reads L↔R = should be set to 1 if the right stick controls Dante. If the left stick controls Dante by default, you can delete the line.

My Stick doesn't work correctly, I am using third-party

At this point you will have no choice but to configure it through Steam:

  • From Steam > Settings > Test Device Inputs
  • Reset Device Inputs then Setup Device Inputs to Map your Buttons
  • From your Library Select DMC3 Right Click Manage > Controller Layout and start mapping buttons

HUD is not displayed properly

You have to manually adjust the hud depending on your aspect ratio. Copy the one you want, then paste into the StyleSwitcher.ini
