you may also be able to download some custom drivers. but I havn’t explored that at all since this just worked for me.

well i will hunt for any postings of these files or caches of the site somewhere in the internet.

i will report back whatever I find promise

Cheers!

Whenever I enter the line in the inf file It cannot create and that the path is not correct. So I never see the XBCD option when I try to upgrade the driver.

Are you sure you are editing the correct .inf file?

Hi,

I’ve just bought this controller and am having the same issue. The thing is, I’d like to keep using my wireless controllers with the PC as well. If I install the XBCD drivers, will the wireless controllers stop working??

Thanks a lot for this tutorial.

If your wireless controllers are already installed and working, you shouldn’t have any problems. They should continue using the default driver, rather than updating to the XBCD driver.

Thanks. I tryied installing it as the guide says, edited (and re-checked many times) the .inf file, but when I would update the drivers, XBCD was not listed. I even checked the device id and it matches the one you mention here.

Any ideas?

Try picking “Have Disk” and manually selecting the directory the .inf was in.
9. Lobato Says:

I did. It was on windows/inf and it only showed the original drivers. I moved it to another folder and it wouldn’t show any drivers.

I’ve tryed uninstalling the original driver but when I reboot and plug the controller, the original one installs automatically.

And one of the reasons I bought this controller was to use it in MAME.. :/
10. John Says:

That’s very interesting. Can you post your .inf file somewhere so I can look at it?

Honestly, I’m pretty stumped. You said you already checked the Device ID and made sure it matched? If that’s the case, I don’t understand why the driver is not coming up as an option.

What OS are you running?
13. Lobato Says:
November 7th, 2007 at 9:44 am

I’m using Vista. And I really don’t know what else to do as well.

I’ve installed xpadder and am using it with MAME 117. It’s working with microsoft drivers, so I’ll give up for now.

Thanks a lot for the help!
14. John Says:
November 7th, 2007 at 9:57 am

That may be the issue then. I am running XP and I have not tested this on Vista. Did you use the correct Vista installer from XBCD360Guide? Also, try the procedure for Vistax64 -

Good luck!

Thanks for posting this, I’m going to give this a try. Hoping it will work with my NES and SNES emulators as well as gameboy and MAME. Screw Microsoft Arcade.

Thanks for the tutorial. I’ll be posting a comment about my problems with Vista, just in case you have any idea why it wouldn’t work.

Thanks again.

thanks a lot for the tutorial man! i was thinking wether to sell or not the joystick. no way now! : D
following step by step the tuto (except for the .nfo file location, that was in program files instead) now’s working perfectly with mame. i’ve not tryed anything else but i guess it will work properly.
one thing im trying is adding another hori controller for 360 (a normal pad with turbo functions and largers analog sticks) i have to the settings. help very welcome! : )
20. Jibs Says:

with your explanations was very easy to add another controller (just finding the hardware ip) to the set.

thanks a lot again!
