Here we’ll find a file called binds.cfg which is responsible for binding keyboard and gamepad commands just the way we like them. With both the Xbox 360 (wireless) controller and the game from GOG.com installed on your system, head over to the main game’s folder and navigate to C:/GOG Games/Indiana Jones and the Emperor’s Tomb/GameData/indy/. I thought I’d share them in this article, in case you too would like to help Indy fight against the evil Nazis. I did have some success following that post, but to make this thing work 100%, there are a couple of things we need to do.

Luckily I found a very helpful forum post discussing these very issues, and of course someone cleverer than you and me has figured our how to get the Xbox controller to (mostly) work in this game. Which means the gaming experience sucks – especially for a game with so many commands. Turns out the game does support a (more or less) mappable Gamepad profile, but it was written many years before the Xbox 360 Controller for Windows was even invented, and as such not all buttons can be mapped. I greatly enjoyed this game on the original Xbox and I had no idea that it had even been released for other platforms. I’ve bought another classic retro title from GOG.com the other day: Indiana Jones and the Emperor’s Tomb (from 2003 I believe).
