Controller support

Barnyard has native controller support despite the game's system requirements stating otherwise, but is disabled/unused by default as the configuration tool lacks several options, so it needs to be manually enabled through the system registry.
Create a new registry entry
  1. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\THQ\Barnyard\
  2. Create a new DWORD (32-bit) value named ControllerEnabled.
  3. Change the newly created value to 1, and set it to Decimal.
  4. If using an XInput controller, several button inputs will be mapped incorrectly by default, download this XInput Plus patch to enhance Xbox controller support.
