Quick Start Guide to Programming Your Controller
Creating a Profile for a Game
1
Open the SGE software by double-clicking on the SGE icon.
2
Next, double-click on New Game Wizard and then on Next.
3
You will now see a list of all the .exe files on your PC to which SGE can be assigned.
Highlight the name of the game you wish to create a profile for, eg, tomb4.exe, then click
on Next.
4
On the following screen, leave both options ticked and click on Next, then highlight the
controller and click on Next again.
5
Finally, review the information offered on the final screen and click on Finish.
Adding Commands to the Profile
1
In the Explorer mode you will now see a folder for the your new profile. Double-click on
the folder and you will see it open out to show 2 sub-folders - the Command List and
Saitek GM2.
2
Click on the folder called Saitek GM2 and a 3-D model of the controller will appear on
the screen.
3
If you place the mouse pointer on the 3-D model and hold down the left mouse button,
you can rotate the image.
4
Next, click on any control on the controller. You will see that the control turns blue
(indicating that it is ready for programming) and that the text boxes at the bottom of the
screen show its attributes (see the SGE diagram to see what each box denotes).
5
The long bar at the bottom of the screen is the Command Editor. Simply click on and
highlight the current keyboard setting and replace it by pressing the new keyboard
command. Note: If you look in the manual that came with your game, it will tell you what
keyboard commands are associated with what actions in the game.
WARNING: THE SGE AUTOMATICALLY SAVES THE CHANGES YOU MAKE WITHOUT
THE USE OF A SAVE BUTTON. THEREFORE, IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE, SIMPLY HIGH-
LIGHT THE COMMAND LINE AND TYPE IN THE CORRECT ENTRY.
