*Lacking images. Will update as soon as I can.*

## Using a PS4 controller

1) Download and extract [DS4Windows](https://github.com/Ryochan7/DS4Windows/releases) to a location of your choice.
2) Follow the on-screen instructions on how to set up your PS4 controller either via Bluetooth or Wired.
3) Once connected, go to the `Profiles` tab then create a new profile.
4) On the right-side, under the `Other` tab, select in the first drop-down `XBOX 360`.
5) Press `Save`.
6) In the `Controllers` tab, assign the new profile to the controller.
7) Download [Frosty Mod Manager](https://github.com/CadeEvs/FrostyToolsuite/releases)
8) Download **ONLY ONE** of the following mods:
* [PS4 icons](https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectandromeda/mods/626)
* [PlayStation UI Buttons](https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectandromeda/mods/595)
9) Load the mod into the mod manager
10) Launch the game via the mod manager

*Might be applicable to other games. Not sure. Only tested with Mass Effect: Andromeda.*

## Ansel during cutscenes

Credits to [Otis_Inf](https://fransbouma.com/) for making this

1) Download [Cheat Engine](https://www.cheatengine.org/) and install it. **Careful with the ads. Always decline them.**
2) Go to this [link](https://gist.github.com/FransBouma/7d72c5a1db6e01272069935cae14479e)
3) On the second box labelled `MassEffectAndromeda_AnselEverywhere.CT`, click the `Raw`
4) Right-click anywhere and click `Save as`.
5) Save it to *Documents > My Cheat Tables.*
6) Start the game
7) Start Cheat Engine
8) Go to *File > Open Process*
9) Select `MassEffectAndromeda.exe`
10) Go to *File > Open File*
11) Navigate to where you save the CT file
12) Tick `Enable Ansel Everywhere 1 & 2`

You should now be able to use Ansel during cutscenes. A lot more reliable than the CT, as that causes a crash most of the time during cutscenes.

If you want to use ReShade shaders with Ansel, I have a tutorial on that [HERE](https://munchyfly.carrd.co/#tutorials)

:::info
- Only for those who use a controller
- I can't guarantee that it will work for you
- You can mess with the value but this is what worked best for me

### Camera moves at the speed of light

Under `Movement Speed` in the first tab, type in `0.01` then press `Enter`

</br>

### Camera starts way back from the player

Tick the `Lock To Player` box in the first tab.
