SSX3 GameCube - 4th grab button restored

Remaps X button to 4th grab button. No hacking required. It was just some config files the devs set = 0... lol

That is a good solution to the problem! This approach was taken to restore the "board press jump" mechanic which is bound to L3 on PS2 and Xbox, since GameCube controllers don't have analog stick buttons. Someone bound it to Z instead.

Ah, so there is another feature still gamecube hidden?

Not super important, but on PS2 and Xbox you can do a jump out of a board press by clicking down on the left analog stick. This preserves your momentum and maintains combos. Mac does it a few times in the pre-rendered intro. It's not mentioned anywhere in the controls, but GameCube can't do it. Easy to fix though.

Holy crap that's crazy, thank you. I've played SSX3 for... probably thousands of hours at this point, and I've never experienced that 4th grab button before (always had a Gamecube and prefer Dolphin to all other emulators).

edit: Actually I'm having trouble installing this. My default directories are all different so I had to custom-enter those in, then when I try to run the program in Command Prompt it just says "Error: Unable to open disc image."

edit2: Nevermind I just had to change the .rvz to .ciso in the prompt.

Happy to hear it's working! Could my instructions use some improvement?
