1. Download from here: https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/2034-xinput-plus-v415064/

2. Run the program.

3. Select the .exe for The Bard's Tale

4. Go to the tab labeled DirectInput

5. Check the box that says "DirectInput output", set LT/RT to "Button 11/12", set GUIDE to "Button 13". Don't touch any of the other options.

6. Click Apply on the bottom right corner.

Just to add to the above post, you have to disable Steam Input for this to work. At least I had to.
