Installation

Copy macrofire.prx and macrofire.ini to the seplugins folder in the root of your Memory Stick.

Open game.txt, vsh.txt and pops.txt in the same seplugins folder (Create these files if they do not exist).

Note: The remap_sample folder is written by the developer that contains sample configuration files for button reassignment settings. This folder is not required for installing the plugin.

User guide

Configuration files

MacroFire.ini:

It contains options for general controls settings.

You can combine specific controls/combo sets to load in specific games.

Other configurations for Remap, Macros, Rapidfire can be made through functions within the plugin, as well as by editing remap.ini.

Remap.ini:

This is the configurations file to remap keys and buttons (e.g. use D-Pad instead of Analog, use Home button instead of Select+Start).

This file will be generated when you use the Remap function, which you can later edit with a text editor for further configurations.

Some samples are provided in the remap_sample folder.

Function

MacroFire Engine	Activate/deactivate this plugin, along with all button settings and macro functions (will be off immediately the game start). You can set the initial state in the config file.
Menu Launch Buttons	Assign button to invoke MacroFire menu during gameplay. You can set the initial state in the config file.
Buttons for switching engine state	Assign button to activate MacroFire Engine without initiating through the menu. Settings can be changes in the config file.
Notification Status	Choose whether or not to display the operating state on the game screen.
Analog stick sensitivity adjustment	Set the position of the center and sensitivity of the joystick, dead zone. Please refer to manual_analogsens.txt for more details.
Remap preference	Fully modifiable button remapping options. Please refer to manual_remap.txt for more details.
Rapidfire Settings	Button setting to perform Rapid Fire. Please refer to manual_rapidfire.txt for more details.
Macro settings	Configure and execute the macro function. Please refer to manual_macro.txt for more details.

Additional notes

MacroFire function does not work immediately after starting the game. There is an added wait time (maximum of 10 seconds) after startup to prevent plugin becoming an obstacle while loading the game/to allow for a smooth gameplay experience. However there will be no wait time on XMB (vsh) or when running PSX games (pops), as it is being detected differently.

When Internet browser is running on VSH, the rapid fire function and macro function will not work. This is by design due to concerns of such features may lead to attacks on websites.

The way this plugin performs will be impacted by the boot order. To take advantage of this feature you will need to insert plugin in the first line in vsh.txt, game.txt and pops.txt.
