    Default Use your Xbox controller on your PC

    This simple mod (involves a bit of soldering but not hard, it can be done with a stripper and a connector block though) allows you to use your Xbox controller as a PC controller with full (and very good IMO) rumble support. The Xbox controller is easily the best PC controller I have ever used (and at £20 not the most expensive). http://www.fury-tech.com/Modding/Xbo...Conversion-Mod
    If this has been posted before then sorry, I did search for it. It deserves a repost anyway because it's so handy and so many people have Xbox controllers.

    I've also tried this a long time ago with the same results. Didn't work with anything.

    There just arn't any good xbox controller drivers for windows out there.

    I've got a usb adaptor to plug into my pc from the xbox controller.
    works on all Mame games that I've tried

    not tried any other games but if You have the XBCD drivers installed, then it may work

    I got an adapter cable from Game for about £12 I think a few months back, came with a driver disk, works perfectly on my pc.
    If I can find the driver file I'll post it later (I'm at work right now)

    oh thank you, hope it works.
    although, I have another wee program (freeware) to let you emulate a mouse with a joystick/pad, you would need that too, when I get home tonight I'll post that up too (I can't even remember it's name right now!)

    Sorry guys, the XBCD driver was included in the guide link. The driver works great for me, all the buttons are configurable with pov for the d pad and both analog sticks. Fully adjustable rumble and force feedback support. I've only tried it with IL-2 (flight sim) and Motocross Madness 2 but they work brilliantly. That plus emulators makes it perfect for me!

    installed the XBCD drivers also installed controlMK to emulate the mouse (a breeze to set up) got it off the XBCD site http://www.redcl0ud.com/controlmk/ControlMKv0232.exe

    here's the settings i used to map the mouse to right joystick

    Right JoyStick
    X Rotation - = MOUSE_MOVE_X_NEG
    X Rotation + = MOUSE_MOVE_X_POS
    Y Rotation - = MOUSE_MOVE_Y_NEG
    Y Rotation + = MOUSE_MOVE_Y_POS

    best move i made might have to play more pc games now thanx for the info
