Have you ever:
-
[]rolled too late?
[]took ages to select that one spell?
[]panic rolled or accidentally R1 spammed?
[]accidentally kicked a boss and wasted an attack window?
[]failed to perform a kick just to have your weapon bounce off of a shield?
[]Met a hacker that tried to corrupt your save file?
Then EMU Light is for you. It is a standalone utility that acts as a middleman between your input and Dark Souls game. The concept is simple, you press an "A" key. EMU sees the "A" press and sends virtual "B" and "C" keys. Dark souls then sees "ABC" as your input.
Supports both Mouse & Keyboard and a controller.
Functionality:
[]Faster rolls (Using a dedicated roll key makes the roll begin on key press rather than key release)
[]RPG style magic hotkeys (Create a dedicated hotkey for each attuned spell that casts it with one press)
[]Roll and R1 cooldown (Adjust action queue behavior by creating a cooldown time when consequent rolls or R1 wont register)
[]Accidental kick and jump attack prevention (When in situation the game would perform a kick, EMU delays an attack for 300 ms to perform an attack)
[]Dedicated kick and jump attack keys (Reliably perform kicks or jump attack in motion by pressing a single key)
[*]Automatic and manual Save file backup (Save file is backed up on EMUL launch and on press of a backup hotkey)
