Talk:Xbox 360 Controller Emulator

Afaik... this is not just a different name for the same dll....
It's a different version of the dll (and the app configurator can create it btw)

It's lame to rename it.

Also I can't understand how a game that works even in XP, Vista and 7 could require a windows8/10 only dll

EDIT: even though, AFAIU from reading the XInput 1.4 headers, it should be a strict superset of the previous versions. In this sense, as long as none of its new functions get used just about every combination should be possible.

Wait, I tought you added that whole renaming thingy. Instructions on how to create the dll could be added instead.

Or perhaps it shouldn't be added at all, considering this is something that applies to everything

And it's not even a wrong behavior or broken thing.

Dude you made it sound like I should remove it but then that wasn't correct so I added it back. I don't get you anymore. Can't you be a little bit clearer, I really don't know what you want to do.

What wasn't correct?

I believe this may be the most we could say in this regard

X360ce defaults to 32 bit XInput 1.3, make sure to enable other versions if needed

X360ce defaults to 32 bit XInput 1.3, ascertain which game uses before use

I feel as if presuming that a user will always read everything on the same order is a very bad idea, I didn't actually set it up using the PCGW guide, which really made the whole thing more confusing to me, as I just like to figure stuff out by myself, hence why I wrote it that way. Also your instructions are simply unclear to me, it's not as direct as I feel it should be, the whole cut paste thing is worded very oddly, it's far easier to simply swap two numbers instead of telling the user to replace the whole string. There are also some readability issues.

TL;DR: No screw you, read it all :v

I'd rather not have things be Generic, I want everything to feel clear and be to the point. Would it be better if someone else took a look at the instructions and stuff?

Oh bear in mind it's not actually all that bad, I'm just a bit tired right now, I was actually going to word it similarly.

Why was this file removed? http://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/358-x360ce-forced-2nd-player/

Also the current explanation is terrible, the one from before was far clearer. It's not working properly for me anyway.

I've found InstanceGuid now, I got a bit confused. When I looked under Mappings I presumed InstanceGuid was reffering to the shortened IG thing.

I presume the file was useless anyway now then.

I seriously don't understand the instructions, am I doing something horribly wrong, I just cannot get this thing to work. You'd think swapping PAD1 and PAD2 would be enough, but no, that's not it. My second controller is always set as the main controller, no matter in which order I plug the controllers in, it doesn't matter if I've set my main controller as my default favourite device, X360CE still picks up the second controller as the first one. Arghhhh.

Why the fuck can't you just set the controllers while using the application and be done with this, jesus. Maybe there's an option for that though?

Screw this, I've written an issue. https://github.com/x360ce/x360ce/issues/100

It's now useless because with new version you just need to copy the IG to the desired PAD#.

It was more complicated before. Now it's so straightforward that you just need to be able to use notepad.

And I recall you could set controllers in portal 2. But that has to be supported of course

What game are you trying then?

EDIT: the problem it's just that every time you try to configure it with x360ce configurator this setting is reverted. It's still a great improvement over the previous situation.

I already realized that myself after commenting on the issue here https://github.com/x360ce/x360ce/issues/100 but whatever now. Thanks anyway.

If anyone wants to know it works with Lego Marvel.

This mean lots of bugfixes were introduced since last year.

Is right analog stick bug still a thing then? @Suicide machine

No idea. It hasn't happened to me, but I've seen it happening at my friend's controller... and with some people on Dark Souls forums. I'd recommend leaving it.
