The crappy Microsoft drivers have caused many problems and incompatibilities with the 360 Controller for Windows. I haven't been able to play NHL 2006 until now! Finally, no more spin-o-rama bs.

Thanks redcl0ud!

Awesome!

 

[Ecrofirt]

Also:

Why the fuck aren't you using regular links?

 

[Ecrofirt]

Uh

I installed this exactly like the site said to, and exactly like the video showed.

My Live button is blinking and won't stop, and the controller doesn't seem to function properly.

 

[VictimOfGrief]

Must be a virus hacking your xbox and computer.

 

[Ecrofirt]

I just uninstalled whatever it was that came with the XBCD stuff.

When I'd move my left analog stick, regular buttons were lighting up in their setup utility, and if I moved the right stick, the left stick would say it was moving left and right if the right stick moved up and down.

Nah, thanks.

What sort of problems are people having with the 360 controller on the PC? I use it for MAME, and a couple other emulators, and it's been perfect.

I'm just curious about what some of the major problems are.

 

[sangreal]

I think the big complaint is that the triggers share an axis

 

[mikeGFG]

Thanks, I've been waiting for an XBCD update for 360 --all of redcl0ud's xbox drivers are solid.

 

[Phranky]

I just use Pinnacle Game Profiler, it runs in the background and you can map the controller for any game.

White Man, can you get the 360 controller to work for MAME games that require trackball?

I can't get my Atari Football or my Centipede to work at all.

yea i hate that

 

[boo7z]

yea i hate that

These drivers have a profile that puts the L and R triggers on separate axi (sp?)

No, I haven't managed that. I tried playing some trackball games, and it was just unworkable. It doesn't botehr me since outside of Tempest, I largely don't care about them.

I just set up Fable the Lost Chapters with the Pinnacle Game Profiler, and it works great. Not sure if I can justify paying for the producat just for one game. Lionhead is an idiot for not supporting controllers in the first place.

I can't get this to work for shit. I see it, Windows (XP Pro, SP2 legit) sees it. Tells me there's a problem w/ the device blah blah.

Any ideas? I thought I'd be playing Einhander on my laptop by now... Not that I had the time earlier, but I do now.

Help...

Are you using a wired controller (not a charge cable)?

I sure wish that wireless dongle would come out.

 

[VictimOfGrief]

Anyone gotten the wireless one's to work?

 

[Deg]

I will try it out.

 

[fse]

no wireless controller support eh?

 

[Alien Bob]

rumble?

 

[DaCocoBrova]

This is the wired one. I have no idea what the deal is. I'll try on another computer and see what the deal is.

 

[Apharmd Battler]

Thanks for the info!! I wonder if there is an issue with using a wireless 360 controller and the 'Play-&-Charge' kit with the PC? Hmmmm

 

[DaCocoBrova]

P&C is power only. There are no wires in the cable for input. I hope a 3rd party makes a proper P&C adapter. As is, you have to remember to plug in your controller before shutting down the 360. Plugging in the adapter after power down does nothing to the controller which is stupid. You'd have to turn the 360 back on, plug it in, and then power down again to enure that your controller is charged the next time you play. Retarded.

Bingo, this thread feels like I've gone 3 months back in time.

Yup.

 

[DaCocoBrova]

Most of the (GAF) world had no 360 3 months ago. Shit, most of the (GAF) world doesn't have one now!

Thanks for the info, I didn't know that (I should pay more attention to those Major Nelson podcasts that I'm listening to while busy at work). This just screams 3rd party cable?! Nyko? MadCatz? where my 2 for one cable like I have for my PSP!! :lol

QFT! :lol

 

[joaomgcd]

If the P&C kit is power only, why is it recognized as a device on the PC?... I have plugged in one of those small USB lamps on my PC before, and those weren't recognized as devices, IIRC...

Help...

did you install the Xbox XBCD, then the Microsoft Xbox360 Controller drivers, and then the Xbox360 XBCD, then go to the device manager and manually switch the drivers like the readme says?

why? dunno, but the instruction manual is pretty clear on the cable only providing power...

 

[belgurdo]

Glad someone brought this back from the grave...I tried installing this two months ago, and it didn't do a goddamn thing
