PES 2013 controls
The button list below is the Xbox-style pad map from SegmentNext’s written guide. Keyboard defaults are a screenshot on that page and are not typed out. I will not transcribe a picture I am treating as unseen text.
Pad
| Action | Pad | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Through ball | Y | 1 source |
| Shoot | X | 1 source |
| Short pass | A | 1 source |
| Lob pass | B | 1 source |
| Sprint | RB | 1 source |
| Cursor change | LB | 1 source |
| Special skills | RT | 1 source |
| Finesse shot | LT | 1 source |
| Manual pass | LT + A or LT + B | 1 source |
| Lofted short pass | RT + B | 1 source |
| Manual shot | LT + X | 1 source |
| Low shot | LT + Y | 1 source |
| Nutmeg | RT + X + stick | 1 source |
| Tackle | A twice | 1 source |
| Contain | Hold A | 1 source |
First touch is RT to trap, the right stick to flick, and a sombrero is the flick plus the stick. Defending while you track a runner is RT plus the stick. A dynamic one-two is LB plus A, then the stick. Deft touch is RT plus the stick. Double touch is right stick down, then left stick right twice. Those combinations sit in the skills page with the same citation, written out as moves rather than as a full pad chart.
Keyboard
Default keys are blank on purpose. SegmentNext shows the settings screen and does not spell the letters. If your question is “what is the RS button on a keyboard”, the answer this site can defend is: open settings.exe on the PC build, or the container’s input panel on Winlator and GameHub, and bind it. DirectX is the controller mode those Android pages tell you to select. A keyboard column of invented WASD keys would rank and then be wrong.
Mobile play adds a layer. GameHub and Winlator both want the checklist set to DirectX before the pad matches this table. PPSSPP uses its own overlay and should not inherit the Winlator toggle. The Wii remote is a different machine entirely and is documented, with its gaps, on the Wii page.
Questions
Why is there no WASD chart?
The written guide does not list default keys. Bind them in settings.exe or in the emulator input panel.
My pad does nothing in Winlator.
Set the controller to DirectX, then remap. The Android Winlator page has the device tiers around that step.
Keep going
