About this mod
Jump in-game by jumping in real life using Nintendo Joy-Cons!
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Jump while holding the joy-cons to jump
- You can move the joy-cons, but don't move them too fast or you will accidentally jump
It works for one or two players.
Please consider protecting your knees from repeatedly jumping on a hard floor. I am using a thick yoga mat to reduce the impact.

Install instructions
Please note that this mod does not edit any game files. It uses my app BetterJoyMotion to emulate an Xbox 360 controller with a pair of joy-cons and implement motion controls. It should work on any version of the game, and basically any game that accepts Xbox controller inputs. You can find it on GitHub to configure yourself, but the package I upload here is already configured for Chained Together.
- Unpack the compressed file (it's just 6.36 MB).
- Go into the Drivers folder and install VigemBus if you don't have it already. This driver is used to create virtual Xbox 360 controllers on PCs. You can also download the driver elsewhere if you prefer.
- Run BetterJoyForCemu.Exe.
- Connect your right Joy-Con first, wait for it to be recognized and only then connect your left Joy-Con. It is important for them to be listed in this order. The second pair should be connected in the same order. Of course you should have already paired them with your PC before.
- When all four joy-Cons are connected (right, left, right, left), simply leave it open and run Chained Together. Make sure you don't have other controllers connected, because they might take priority and block out your joy-cons.
- Have fun!
Warning: You might notice that the second pair of joy-cons has a small delay (all inputs, not just jumping). It's not significant, but still noticeable when you try both pairs back to back. This is a known issue with BetterJoyMotion and the original BetterJoy. I know how to fix it, but it would take a long time and multiplayer support is not my priority for now.
About this project
The BetterJoyMotion application is a modified version of the popular app BetterJoy and adds the ability to map various motions to press buttons. Because I am not a programmer, it took a lot of work and it is not as user friendly or expansive as I might like. I will share configurations for games that I feel already work very well with the current functions of my app. If anyone else is interested in bringing motion controls to PC and has the programming experience that I lack, please reach out to me. I will try to add functions over the years, but progress will be slow and infrequent.
