Cyberwoo Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 I just got a Xbox PC USB Adapter so I can use my xbox controllers to play pc games (Beyond Good & Evil an Silent Hill 4 to name a couple). However after downloading some drivers I noticed that the setup thing lets you map button configurations (y axis/x axis, dpad, and up to 20 something buttons) BUT it wont let you map any of the buttons to keyboard keys. This means I haven't been able to use it to play BG&E since the game doesn't appear to support a controller. I tried Silent Hill 4 with the controller and it works but the right analog stick isn't recognized in the game. Anyway does anyone know of any software that lets you map any usb device to keyboard functions? It would be extremely helpful. Thanks! -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Merrick Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Mike, Any luck on this? Also wondering where you purchased the adapter... I am thinking of getting one to play GR with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberwoo Posted October 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Well I have yet to find any software that lets you map keyboard keys to the buttons on the xbox controller. Also the right analog stick still isn't recognized by the games I've tried. So basically I'm glad I got a cheap adapter because its been money down the drain at this point. I'm going to go controller hunting this week and see what else is out there. Oh and as for where I bought the adapter: http://www.consolestop.com/product_info.php?products_id=53 I'm going to download the POP2 demo and see if it works well with that game. I'll let you know how it turns out. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Merrick Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Thanks for the link Mike, I may just pick this up. I would sure like to know if anyone else has had an experience with this thing though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberwoo Posted October 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 I am giving up on the Xbox adapter for the pc and buying a Logitech? Rumblepad? 2 Vibration Feedback Gamepad. The reviews have been very possitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Merrick Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 That looks good Mike, I am returning a $20 notebook mouse at CompUSA today and I'll probably pick that controller up. I only wonder how much juice the force feedback will use up on my notebook batteries... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlucci Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Has anyone tried this adapter for use with regular old PC games, like MAME emulations, etc? I don't wan't to do anything fancy like Mike was trying for, but I would love to use my xbox controller with my games. Carlos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
