Summary
Replaces the default config bitmask value from 0x41 to 0x45, which sets the default Controller type to "Customize" instead of "Normal" in FF7 Steam.
Motivation
FF7 Steam locks the Controller setting to "Customize" because the "Normal" control scheme is broken (it uses numpad controls). However there is a bug that can cause your config file to get corrupted and try to load the "Normal" control scheme anyways. This is because the config bitmask value that is loaded on New Game is initialized to
0x41
with the third bit responsible for switching from "Normal" to "Customize" not set.This change patches this bitmask to set that bit on so the game always uses "Customize" control scheme.
ACKs
