(Please check the website for new or improved Profiles, which are being added regularly).

  3. With the cursor flashing, type in the key commands and then click on the green tick mark when complete.
  4. Repeat this procedure for all the buttons you would like to program and then click File, Save at the top of the Profile Editor window.
  5. Give the profile a name (it is recommended you name it after the game for which the profile is intended) and then click Save.
  6. To enable the profile either click the Profile Now icon at the top of the Profile Editor (it looks like a black and yellow crosshair) or right-click on the controller icon in your taskbar and select the name of the profile from the pop-up list of options.
  7. You will notice that when a profile is loaded that the controller icon in your taskbar has a green square behind it, indicating that a profile is currently loaded. If you wish to unload a profile simply right-click on the controller icon and click Clear Profile from the pop-up list of options.

If you require more detailed assistance with using the SST Programming Software, click on Help at the top of the Profile Editor and then Manual.
