Pic15: Now this is important step, after Selecting New just tap on the screen and now just take your gamepad or usb joystick and then press any button to make that button appear on screen.

That is For Example to activate the buttons we need to do mapping firstly, so first sttarting with Analog stick, Move it any side to activate that stick. after that the tincore will activate the button and the icon with "0" is appeared on the Screen.

Pic16: Since i had used Dual shock controller, i got another button it is also analog stick- im using it for aiming on that specific purpose.to activate it move that stick to any side and hold it, until you see the icon.

Pic17: Now to activate all other buttons just press and hold them until you see the icons on screen. now after activating all icons, just move them to the correct place- because their usual task is to tap the screen, so we must place those buttons above the game's orginal controls like "X" button above the Shoot Icon in game.

Pic18: Now that you have applied all buttons, in addition to touch screen, there are also some other options like gesture swie- it is basically used to switch weapons in games, also touch area centering and dpad moves helps in gaming. utilize them according to your will.

Pic19:  Now that you have applied all settings perfectly just tap on the screen and you will see the menu like in the below screenshot.you need to give a name to that profile and save it.

Here Give a name to that field and save that by clicking accept.

Pic20: Now your Tincore keymapper profile for that specific profile is activated.

Admitted that this is quite lenghty process but this is the only process to make all games work on android with usb joystick or any kind of genric joystick and it works perfectly.
 For psp games on android you dont have to do all these, there is a default section to map keys of joystick in controls schemes, just do that and you are free to play.
