Hi-

I have a problem with games that require you to tap a button repeatedly. Does anyone have any suggestions of equipment I can use to help reduce this problem? thanks

I would guess that you could set up a script or something to repeatedly "press" a key for a set amount of time, for as long as you hold down the key, or possibly as a latch (hit it once it starts, hit it again to stop). The first place I would look would be through using AutoHotKey, Eventghost, or something like that. But don't quote me on that.

Hi-

I'm playing on a Playstation 3. I have had this happen in two games I enjoyed playing until this comes up. At a certain point in the game you are ask to repeatedly tap a button to get through a scene and I am unable to continue the game. I was hoping there was a piece on equipment someone had developed to help out or if there might be some sort of special controller built to help disabled people. Thanks for your help.

I know there are controllers that have "turbo" and "auto" options, which I think are for repeated button presses in fighting games and such. There might be something like that around for the PS3.

It would also be possible to rig something up to hit the button for you... like something that vibrates, or a small motor, connected to a button. You could hold the second button to make the device repeatedly hit the first... And if you have troubles holding a button down, you could use a latch box or start with a latched button. That would probably take some fiddling though.

The XFPS 360 Rateup allows you to switch auto-fire on and off for various buttons: www.totalconsole.com/servlet/the-259/XFP...PLAYSTATION-3/Detail

Alternatively as stated before, get a PS2 controller with auto-fire options (there are quite a few) and use a cheap PS2 to PS3 joypad converter:

Both should do the trick.

Thanks for your help. I found a turbo controller on Amazon and I will give it a try.
