Previously on the SpecialEffect accessible GameBase we featured the XCM-Re-Mapper; an external device which sits between your wired PS3 or XBox 360 controller and allows you to re-map the button and control stick functions.

The discovery of this excellant, reasonably priced bit of kit (thanks Barrie 'One Switch'!) warrants plenty of ongoing experimentation.

It struck us that using the device you could make accessing various different types of games (when using a standard controller) easier when using just one hand to play simply by moving some button functions around and/or swapping the controls sticks over.

The video below shows some of the configurations we came up with for one handed play:
