It's much easier to setup and is great even for games that have no joystick support at all, but it won't automagically map to a game's controls as xce or an actual xbox joystick would.

If you were willing to take the plunge, I would thoroughly recommend a real Xbox controller for those PC games that work better on controllers - very good controller, built to last and sets itself up nicely with all the bells and whistles feedback, etc.

Actually, that thread doesn't driver san francisco joystick xce, which does exactly what you want. I think i have finally found a permanent fix for this simple issue So If you are having a normal Analog USB Gamepad and want to use it as your XBOX Controller just go through the below tutorial that will guide you through the whole procedure how you can emulate your normal gamepad to work as XBOX Controller BillButNotBen View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message. Does anyone know why we took the retrograde step of getting rid of the system that allowed all gamepads and controllers to work with all games and implementing one where only a few specific controllers basically one driver san francisco joystick And, bearing in mind that there are lots of regular controllers out there, and that they can still be easily supported in games, does anyone know why game companies don't bother?

Knowing PCs, it's very unlikely to work out of the box, and will involve lots of googling for obscure solutions. DanMan View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message. First up I blame MS. If standardization was the problem, it's them who should have come up with a software like xce, deployed via Windows Update.

I have xbce and it doesnt work on Crysis 2, it recognises my controller and everything it works but when i start the game nothig happens.

Then they could still have used XInput on the development side, but everyone could have just configured their driver san francisco joystick DInput devices via driver san francisco joystick software ONCE and it'd have been all rainbows and sunshine from then on.

Not an answer, but driver san francisco joystick felt like saying it as I've been so impressed with it. Yup, I think the main reason DirectInput was shelved is because there was no standardization in the physical button driver san francisco joystick. Meaning the Button Number 3 wasn't always in the "correct" place. As for solving the intermediate layer, SDL probably has a superior API that works on anything.

It can't do everything that DInput does. Which means that all the more exotic controllers are almost dead, and innovation already is not that there has been any in the last few years. In Linux any pad usually Just Works, unless it doesn't.

Finally, why doesn't windows already do it's best to map non-xbox controllers to xbox controllers, removing the need to arse about with all these intermediate software steps? Originally Posted by BillButNotBen.

I guess, if I really really want to play a game then I'll have to mess around with the software linked above in order to get a DirectInput controller to work with a DIrectX game.

But with DirectInput driver san francisco joystick controllers worked!! Wasn't that the whole point? That any type of controller could work with any type of game because DirectInput was an abstraction layer that allowed gamers to map physical controls to in-game actions. With several different DirectInput controllers and hundreds of games I can't say I ever had a problem where the game didn't support the controller Surely they could just have mapped Xinput onto DirectInput and then the controller would have worked like very other controller.

But no, instead they offered devs an easy way to port their existing controller code over to Windows. Only downside being that everyone needs new controllers, but that's just a mild inconvenience in comparison, amirite? Technically, XInput is a formalized sub-set of DInput.
