Developer’s Description

By PowerUp Software

Add gamepad and joystick support to any computer game.

Pinnacle Game Profiler is a program that allows you to emulate your keyboard and mouse with your video game controller, and otherwise customize the controller's behavior. Many PC games do not directly support game controllers, but with Pinnacle Game Profiler you can use almost any controller to play almost any game! Games that normally require an awkward keyboard/mouse control system can now be played with your favorite gamepad! Here are some of the features that make Pinnacle the very best game profiler software available... Works with any controller. (Xbox 360, PlayStation, Wiimote, PC gamepads, etc). Full emulation of keyboard/mouse (even use your gamepad to control Windows). Game profiles can be auto-applied when Pinnacle detects you've started a game. Built-in PinnacleUpdate feature keeps your software and game profiles up-to-date. Create your own custom game commands, keyboard hotkeys, and automated macros. Even force feedback commands can be assigned directly to your game controller. On-screen help guides you through the simple process of creating your profiles. Setup a joystick to run or walk depending on how far forward you tilt the joystick. Assign a 'shift button' to double the commands you can assign to a controller. Create toggle commands and cycling commands that rotate each time you fire them. Two seperate triggering events (pressed & released) gives you complete control. Design an ImageGuide for your controller to guide you while you assign commands. Direction pad support features 3 styles: standard 4-Way, simple 4-Way, and 8-Way. Invert the movement axis of any analog joystick.

everything i could have ever wanted
Chris FitchJanuary 9, 2016
Pros
works great for new and old games alike, from pillars of eternity to the original deus ex. support is timely and proficient. buy this now if you are looking for a way to use a xbox controller for games they are not made for.
Cons
registering the product was a little touchy but i am not ruling out a finicky firewall being the cause of my problem.
Summary
this is totally worth paying for, enough so that i was compelled to write a favorable review.
doesn't work for win7 64
laolin217541January 6, 2016
Pros
two stars for looking complicated.
Cons
It simply doesn't work. Keeps crashing on Win7 64 bit. Compatibility mode doesn't help.
Summary
Pinnacle + NVIDIA Shield = Awesome!
prazkalMay 14, 2014
Pros
This software works with my NVIDIA Shield which is totally awesome because you obviously can't use your keyboard and mouse to play a game when you are using the Shield, so there were a lot of games that I simply couldn't play until I found this gem of a program. Thank you Pinnacle!
Cons
none, this software is my new best friend!
Summary
<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on May 14, 2014<p/>I also have Windows 7 and it worked fine. I'm not sure why you had trouble but you might want to go to their support forum to ask for help.
Does the job!
Gersi44March 28, 2014
Pros
Very easy to setup. Within 10 minutes of downloading, I was playing my game. It seems to have a lot of features, but I just used the defaults.
Cons
I wish there were a good program like this what was free, but you get what you pay for I suppose.
Summary
Worked great for my PS4 controller
joseph455March 8, 2014
Pros
Allowed me to use my PS4 controller to play Assassin's Creed when it wasn't supported. This software has a great interface is packed with features... maybe too many because I wasn't sure what all of them were for, lol.
Cons
It can be a little overwhelming the first time you use it, cause there are so many options... but I was able to get it working in about a half hour. I'm sure there is a lot more to it, but I can get what I need out of it.
Summary
I highly recommend this software if you are playing PC games with your PS4 controller.
Won't Run even after reinstall and update.
Vague_ExcuseFebruary 9, 2014
Pros
There are not pros. I was unable to get the program to run.
Cons
This should speak for itself. I would have given it no stars if possible.
Summary
Time for this developer to go back to the drawing board.
Doesn't even WORK!
xron493May 8, 2013
Pros
There are no pros, unless you count the excitement leading up to the instant error message.
Cons
Now I have to delete this junk off my PC, thanks for the wasted time.
Summary
Next time you make software, please make sure that it works. If the trial service went well I was going to buy this to play many of my old pc games. Thanks for nothing Pinnacle, you have wasted my time. (I have a Windows 7 premium 64 bit os) Let this be a warning to all who have Windows 7, this doesn't work for you.
It goes where I wanted to go!
Mr_ARPeabodyNovember 6, 2012
Pros
I can actually get to work inside Star Wars the Old Republic.
Cons
Proper setup can be tricky. The initial download will not be compatible with Windows 7. For me that required downloading the Manual update to get the correct version.
Summary
Product works well and the price is right.
Won't run, says I don't have latest for my O/S
reviewer0103October 27, 2012
Pros
None, won't start
Cons
Does not work. Waste of my time.
Summary
Running Windows7-32 bit. Installed, rebooted and tried to launch. Every time the program said "you are not running the latest version for your operation system" and you get a download link. So I download the latest, go through the force reboot and get the same problem. After the third install/reboot decided this was worthless. There's nothing special about my system nor this program.
If the trial is any indication, stay away.
clynxJanuary 19, 2012
Pros
I don't know because I was only able to use it for 15 minutes of a 30 day trial.
Cons
The software its-self if littered all over my computers registry. Luckily I have an image backup from before I installed this garbage.
Summary
I would take the time to use the free utility out there and program the controller yourself. This program does nothing more than what you could do with the same amount of time on your own without this trash.
