So, do you like playing Maplestory? How about console games? Or maybe you are worried about causing damage to your body using mouse and keyboard?

Well then this is for you, especially you Vista users (I'm a Vista'er too ;o) So this is my first time writing any guide, It'll be short but detailed and in this one post. So here I go ;o

Step one:
Go out and but a Game pad, I would suggest something like a PS3 controller, XBOX360 controller or one of those other resembling USB controllers. I suggest atleast 10 or so buttons ~ Have one already? Skip this step.

Step Two:
Okay, simple and sweet, you will need to download the program JoyToKey, and here is a link to the most recent version for you lazies ;P OMGALINK Now download unzip and open the folder =D

Step Three A:
~Note: This is for VISTA USERS ONLY!!! (but it doesn't matter xD)~
Okay so this is important for Vista users, Right click the Joy2Key and ...

Right click > Properties > Compatibility > and CHECK Run as Administrator that will solve the Game pad not working in game issue.

Step Three B:
After opening the folder, plug in your handy dandy Game pad, then boot up J2K. Use 'Start new configuration' or if you have one made, right click and press rename, rename it to what you will ;o

Step Four:
Now find out for your controller, what the buttons are. How do you do this? Go to the start button and ...
Start button > Control Panel > Game Controller > Properties. From their write down the buttons as they follow ^_^.

Step Five:
Now that that thats ready, double click the choices of buttons and set them up with your corresponding Buttons and controls. Once this is completed minimize (NOT CLOSE) J2K

Final and Best Step!
Boot up Maplestory, Log on, get on your character and have fun!

So I hope this helps you all out, and just incase some of you just skip over the guide looking for the Vista fix I'll say it one last time

~ For vista users, Before booting up Joy2Key make sure to use RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR!!! If you DO NOT the controller will not respond once you get in game. So I really hope this helps you out everyone
