This game is VERY fussy and this method only seems to work with fresh installs of the EU version of the game.

Also note I forgot to mention in the video that Demulshooter assigns the middle mouse click to choose paths so make sure you have that enabled in your Sinden gun's software key binds.

Recommended keyboard mappings are as follows:

P1 Trigger = X

P1 Reload = Z

P1 Right = D

P1 Left = G

P2 Trigger = N

P2 Reload = B

P2 Right = L

P2 Left = J

Autohotkey Scripts
Example AHK script:

If your gun works fine in the menus but not in-game, you may need to edit your AHK script to launch DemulShooter after launching the game. This example script launches DemulShooter ten seconds after launching HOTD3.

Another AHK example script made by Matthieu, which also does a check for how many guns are connected and starts either 1 or 2 instances of the Sinden software:

Demulshooter HOTD 3 instructions.

Run the game in HD resolutions

 * Go to the exe folder inside the game folder
 * Make a backup copy of hod3pc.exe
 * Use your Hex editor of choice to open the file (for example HxD)
 * Find one of the following hex values (640x480 is used in this example)


 * Substitute 80 02 (which is 640)  and E0 01 (which is 480) for your desired resolution:

** for 16:9 widescreen resolutions replace all instances of AB AA AA 3F with 39 8E E3 3F

[NOTE: using widescreen will make your aim slightly off]

For example replace this: To make it look like this (for 1440x1080)


 * Save the file.
 * Make sure that in the launcher you choose 640x480 (or whichever resolution you changed) as the game resolution to get the desired resolution in game.
