I strongly believe you need a keyboard as I do not believe their is any other support for configuring.

XDP Limited Edition R-4 has a customized PlanetWeb 2.6X as one of the selectable startup options, and that lets you configure with a controller. That's what I used. If that's the XDP version you have (which is pretty likely, as it's the final release), there's no need to burn an extra disk.

...The weird thing is, XDP allows controller typing literally everywhere else...
Can play online, but doesn't very often.
