Removing configs

  • For global configurations delete /rehid/rehid.json or, for a configuration set to a title delete /rehid/(Title ID)/rehid.json

Configuration

Config file

Rehid stores its key mappings in .json files located at /rehid/rehid.json, or in a title ID folder within /rehid/ to use with a specific title. You can manually create your own key mappings by creating a rehid.json file with the key mappings you want. Possible options include:

"keys": which maps a key press to another key press.

{"keys":[{"press":"ZR","get":"R"},{"press":"ZL","get":"L"}]}

With the above, any time you press the ZR key, R key would be triggered, and any time you press the ZL key, L key would be triggered. Possible Keys are: A, B, X, Y, SELECT, START, ZL, ZR, L, R, LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN, CLEFT(CPAD), CRIGHT(CPAD), CUP(CPAD), CDOWN(C-PAD), CSLEFT(C-STICK), CSRIGHT(C-STICK), CSUP(C-STICK), CSDOWN(C-STICK)

You can also do custom key combos;

{"keys":[{"press":"X+Y","get":"R"},{"press":"SELECT","get":"L+R"}]}

With this any time you press X+Y, R key would be triggered, and any time you press the SELECT button, both L and R would be triggered.

"cpad":, which maps a key press to a circle pad x and y coordinate from -190 to 190;

{"cpad":[{"press":"CUP","get":[0,190]},{"press":"CDOWN","get":[0,-190]},{"press":"CLEFT","get":[-190,0]},{"press":"CRIGHT","get":[190,0]}]}

"touch":, which maps a key press to a given x,y coordinate on the touchscreen from 0,0 top left to 320,240 bottom right;

{"touch":[{"press":"LEFT+UP","get":[0,0]},{"press":"RIGHT+DOWN","get":[320,240]}]}

"touchtokeys": which maps a box starting at a given x,y coordinate, with a given height and width, that when tapped will output a key press;

{"touchtokeys":[{"press":[10,20,50,100],"get":"A"}]}

For this example, it creates a box starting at x=10 y=20, with a height of 50 and a width of 100.

Other options include:
"cpadtodpad":true maps the C-pad with D-pad key presses
"dpadtocpad":true maps the D-pad with C-pad key presses
"overidecpadpro":true makes it so games don't recognize the circle pad pro
"homebutton": maps the HOME button to a key press

These Options can be strung together into a single line, for example:

{"keys":[{"press":"ZR","get":"R"},{"press":"ZL","get":"L"}],"cpad":[{"press":"CUP","get":[0,190]},{"press":"CDOWN","get":[0,-190]}],"touch":[{"press":"LEFT+UP","get":[0,0]},{"press":"RIGHT+DOWN","get":[320,240]}],"touchtokeys":[{"press":[10,20,50,100],"get":"A"}],"cpadtodpad":true,"dpadtocpad":true,"overridecpadpro":true,"homebutton":"ZR+ZL"}

SD file layout

  • SD card icon (root)
    • Folder icon rehid
      • File icon rehid.json
      • Folder icon (title ID)
        • File icon rehid.json

Troubleshooting

An exception occurred

If your console crashes while booting with "an exception occurred" and the "current proccess:" is hid, you may have an old version of Rehid thats causing issues. Look for and delete /luma/titles/0004013000001D02 and /luma/titles/0004013000003302. If these don't exist, you may have a more serious hardware issue, join the Nintendo Homebrew Discord and ask, in English, for help.
