***Warning the following post is not comedy*** Custom Button Mapping In Video Games... Open Letter

***Click here to view my online petition***

Dear Game Developers & Console Manufactures,

My name is Chuck Bittner, I hope this open letter finds you well. I am writing this to alert you to a large need in the gaming world and how you can help.

This letter is a general request for custom button mapping (reMapping) to be added to ALL video games. ReMapping is the ability to assign buttons of control for a game to any button on a game controller.

I am a quadriplegic gamer I don’t have control of my fingers so playing games is very difficult. I game using my face to control movement sticks and button pressing (youtube video). Many games come with three to five button configurations. Now for most people these layouts are fine as they can usually find one that can suit their needs. But as a disabled gamer we aren’t "like" most people. We have to be adaptable in our life to living with limitations, and sometimes we need other to help us adapt.

You may ask why I don’t just have a custom controller built, as there are companies that can do this. Really to me this is not a solution to this global problem in the gaming universe. While a custom controller would solve my issues and allow me to play more effectively, it would only help me. Others with disabilities would still be in the same situation as I am at the moment. What most gamers in my condition or with other disabilities really need is not an expensive custom setup but the ability to move button locations in a game.

I have seen numerous posts on developer’s message boards of people saying how much this would assist them or others they know. It really is something that should be implemented right away to assist people in accessing this popular form of entertainment. It should be noted that many non-disabled gamers have expressed their desire to have this feature added for their benefit also.

Some games today do ship with remapping available but the vast majority does not. Sadly it is something that would help many people, enjoy video games even more.

Now this letter is directed at game developers but also to console manufactures Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony. The reason being they could aid developers by giving them more tools to streamline the implementation of this feature. Also they could allow reMapping to reside in the console so users could use one preconfig for multiple games (for example one setup for all Call of Duty games). Even allowing a game start up to trigger the custom button layout.

That is my request to the game industry. I will post updates as I hear things. I want to thanks to everyone who reads this for taking the time to do so. Please digg or tweet this if you can.

I watched these before I was disabled... They were funny then and they are even funnier now!

And Thrice!

Does it upset you when people "Stare"?

Well no, I generally don't care if people check me out I am buff & all. I do screw with kids that stare and parents love me for it. It goes a little sumtin like this...

Me to staring child, "Ummm you better eat your vegtables or you'll end up like me, in a wheelchair forever... haahaahaahaa."

The kids afterward can't eat enough veggies! You can insert homework or chores around the house what ever-- it works amazing; they stop staring! ;)

CAPtivation

At the Paralympics it is 6 hours 53 minutes and 8 seconds! We take a loooong time!

A great handi-CAPper sign!

This little guy is rocking the chair! Not your standard "Capper" sign. Thanks for the submission Jen C from North Hampton NH.

Me taking on some Call of Duty craziness with my face!

Here is a video I put together of me playing Call Of Duty with my face! I have made it to level 32 solo & my 65 Y.O. father & I have gotten to level 32! Warning some graphic content.

If I got you, the you got own3d...

If I beat you in an online game, I was using my face! Also if you killed me then congratz I'm a capper that is real tough to do. (this pic is blurry because I'm so fast)

Wheelchair crowd surfing = Crazy-Go-Nuts

This guy is nuts, but they know how to party in Iran!

How do you feel?

Ummmm well, hairy in some spots, smooth, moist and bumpy in others and you?

We can't see the chair...

I love it when people tell me this. They are saying that I make them sooo comfortable they "can't see" the chair. Oh and I also only hang out with blind people.

HandiCapper parking...

Why is it that I can park in "Your" spots but you can't park in mine? I only park in your so you have to walk farther. ;)

My preformance on youtube!

Are you an organ donor? If so, which ones? Dann B

I'm sure this is the sentiments of many "Verts" (someone who can stand) out there. They look at us Cappers and see a spare part smorgasbord board... One stop shopping!

• Low Mileage Knees
• Low Stress Heart
• Medically Oxygenated Lungs

We are people too... (we maybe up for some sales though!) A friend of mine; we'll call him "$tumpy" $old of all of his spare parts but the torso & head. He's living large in the Bahamas! No chair now just gets carried around in a backpack.

Geocaching is handiCapper Accessible!

Geocaching is a GPS adventure where you go out and try to locate the "Cache." Plus they mark which are Capper Accessible. So went out on one that was marked handicapped accessible, and found a wheelchair with a skeleton in it. Wow what a crazy cache!

I put my pants on...

Just like everyone else who is completely hammered, with someone helping!

I love you Billy No Feet...
