You deserve to be smacked for wanting to play HL2 with a pad

Reply to this: comment | thread

Freaking sweet!!

There are valid reasons for wanting to use a pad with HL2, such as driving vehicles which have guns on. Arrow keys to steer/move that damn boat, Mouse to aim and fire. Helps to become ambidextrous I guess
I hope this will be compatible with HL2 and similar games in the near future. If Bungie can do it with Halo CE, then why not.

Why pay extra? The driver is available to download from Microsoft…

Hmm, no profile software? I like the new white/black button placement, but unless MS releases some good profile software I’ll be sticking with my Xbox controller and the XBCD Drivers.

I hope having a controller with analog triggers that’s backed by a big company will make developers include proper analog button support in their games from now on, having to se my triggers to an axis in order to get proper acceleration and braking is annoying.

OK SO I ALREADY HAVE AN XBOX CONTROLLER-S ON MY PC: using a converter and third party driver this works well on games like GTA: san andreas as it is already setup for gamepad, so there are games the 360 pad will work with, but this pad comes into its own when u use it with emulators such as ZSNES, which fully support the thumb sticks, as well as the d-pad and all buttons are supported, also these pads are gr8 for use with Project64 1.6 (N64 emu), I have pre ordered a 360 for windows pad, as they are not available here yet or are out of stock at the time of this message in the uk stores…..

i went to the official microsoft page, but when i select what i will download, it doesnt do nuthing.
cud somone help?

Reply to this: comment | thread

I too have only got it to light up apon connecting it to the usb nce the drivers were installed. The controller lights for a quick flash and thats it !

I don’t even get the #1 quater part to light up either !@

The F’n drivers suck ! The reason cause Microsoft wants you to by the hooks ups so that you can use your PC like a 360 ! Check out E3 reviews on the Microsft live stuff !

Also the best free drivers are Pinnacle Game Profiler

The rumble works the triggers work , l and r buttons work everything very easy to map and config

Works great with Oblivion ..You can even you the controller as a stand alone controller for using Media Center and opeing apps and the internet

Full range of Both ;YES ” i said Both Analogs Sticks with full range and camra angles

anybody got this thing to work with a wireless w/ a plug’n play kit?  is it possible?  I would think so, but can’t get ANYthing to work.. on 2 diff computers.

Reply to this: comment | thread

i installed the drivers and everything, but the when playing NFSMW and flatout the car will always lean left, its really annoying. I used to use a $10 fake PS2 controller that worked perfectly, the buttons were getting stuck so i decided to go the 360 one. any ideas?

I want to play ROMs on Project64 1.6 (N64 emulator) using a wireless Xbox 360 controller rather than using my laptops keyboard.

I’ve seen on the web different drivers (not by Microsoft) such as XBCD 360 which claims to allow you to configure the controller for use with certain games, i.e. set up a profile. But cant the Microsoft driver allow this? I’ve also heard of some problems with rumble. What do I need to allow all ROMs to work with rumble (if they support rumble)?

As of yet I do not have a 360 controller. I’m just a little confused with the stuff i need to download and do once I get a 360 controller.

Thanx for the help.

I just purchased and installed my Xbox 360 controller to my PC. In the manual from the package gives a direct link to http://www.windowsgaming.com for the required software for the controller. Install the software 1st, then plug in the controller.

Hope this helps, I only read a few comments.

cheers

Hi does anyone know if you can use the controller on the desktop as it would be very cool and it would be alot better as i am used to playing the 360

Reply to this: comment | thread

Hey Dan, What do you mean use it on your desktop? I doubt you could use it like a mouse if that’s what you are referring to. The driver enables Windows to locate the controller as “Game Controllers” in the Control Panel, not a Mouse driver.

Reply to this: comment | thread

Hi guys,

I have just bought an XBox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows and installed the software, detected it on the PC and calibrated it on my FIFA08 game. The problem is, when I play the game, it pauses the game when I press two buttons at the same time particularly when I am getting the ball or passing it to my player in an attacking position.

Can somebody help me with this problem.
