I play with a gamepad and it's almost impossible to press button 1 and 2 together. Would it be possible to have an alternative button for those of us with gamepads?

Thanks.

Hello,

it'll be done for Tennis Elbow 2005 (available in 3 weeks, if everything is alright).
Meanwhile, you can use this little program named "JoyToKey" :

It maps Joystick to Keyboard. So in Tennis Elbow, you set your controller to Keyboard 1, and with JoyToKey, you can set a joystick button that will emulate the press of 2 keys.

That works, thanks.

What is going to be new Tennis Elbow 2005?

Also, I just bought Tennis Elbow 2004 yesterday, am I going to have to pay again for the new version?

mainly :
- new graphic engine that allows to play in greater resolutions (example: 1280x960), but it needs a 3D card with at least 16 MB of memory
- new menus
- updated tournament mode (with the race, qualifications, tournament in double, etc...)
- the grass gets used during tournament
- and a few other little things

It'll be free for all people for bought TE2004 in the last 60 days preceding the release of TE2005, and it'll be 50% off for all other TE2004 users.
So yes, you should have it for free.

sorry the release is a bit delayed, because it was a lot more work than expected. It should arrive in 2 weeks.

I need to do the menu to select the partner in double, a few info screens, and package the beta, and the whole should be done for Thursday or Friday...
