SILENT HILL 4.exe
- Go to DirectInput and check Enable DirectInput Output
- Assign LT/RT to Button 11/12
- Assign right stick to Z Rot / Z Axis

|
- XInput Plus replaces the
dinput8.dll
included in the Wrapper by Nemesis.

|
- Clean up the game installation folder to its initial state: delete all DLLs besides
checkdx.dll , drc.dll and dsetup.dll
- Open the Wrapper by Nemesis archive, extract
Nemesis 60FPS or Nemesis Wrapper folder to the game installation folder (based on your preferable framerate) and rename it to scripts
- Delete the
dinput8.dll and rename sh4w.dll to sh4w.asi in the scripts folder
