360 Pad in Games for Windows / xinput games?

Many new games do not use the old DirectInput for gamepads, or if they do you have to tweak the ini manually.

Most current PC games are designed to work ideally with the 360 pad. Linux has good support for the 360 pad with the xpad driver, but I can't get that to actually work in games running under Wine.

Has anyone else solved this? Specifically I'd like to play Borderlands with a pad, but I'm sure this issue will crop up again with another game.

Hi, I have not been able to get any game to recognize a 360 controller with Wine. I use a program called QJoyPad sometimes that can make your analog sticks control the mouse movement.

To enable Xbox360 WIRED pad use with wine, you must :
1- Install xboxdrv linux driver for your release. (see a proper howto on the web)
2- Install MS xinput in the game prefix using PlayOnLinux Functions in installation menu.
3- Launch the driver like this, probably need sudo level :
xboxdrv --wid 0 -s -l 2 --deadzone 12000
Note : deadzone value depend of the game and you, do some experiments.

Remember that, even with all this, many games will not detect the pad because of wine. So far it worked, for me, with PoP games, Dead Space games (bugged with DS2), Assassin's Creed Games (with Xinput2 wine patch) and some others.

I think with vanilla xpad driver and wine patched with Xinput2 support, it will also work.

This topic is old but I have been trying to use a consistent method to have a USB Wired Xbox360 controller working with Steam Games.And the only method that worked for me is the following. I'm not talking about Keyboard-Mouse remapping of course.

1)Here how I got it to work.
downloaded xbox360cemu.v.3.0
http://code.google.com/p/xinput/downloads/detail?name=xbox360cemu.v.3.0.rar&can=2&q=

2)Then copy
dinput8.dll
xinput1_3.dll
xinput9_1_0.dll
xbox360cemu.ini

at the root of the folder where the executable reside ,in the steam folder ex: /home/rcmn/PlayOnLinux's virtual drives/AssassinsCreed/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Steam/SteamApps/common/Assassins Creed

3) install xboxdrv

4) connect the USB Wired Xbox360 controller

5) run in a terminal:
sudo xboxdrv --silent --detach-kernel-driver --trigger-as-button --ui-axismap x2=ABS_Z,y2=ABS_RZ --ui-buttonmap A=BTN_B,B=BTN_X,X=BTN_A,TR=BTN_THUMBL,TL=BTN_MODE,GUIDE=BTN_THUMBR

So far It worked with :
- Assassins Creed (Steam version) (need to be activated in the option menu)
- Dishonored (Steam version)
- deus ex - human revolution (Steam Version)

Did not work:
- Rayman Origins (Steam version). I tried many options but I can't get to work ,even when I push the reset function in the options menu. It does not remap to the gamepad like it should.

If anyone Has any suggestions I'll be happy to hear them.

Yup yup. That only things that I have found that work even with my wireless controller, were to use a patched Wine, xboxdrv or to use x360cemu with my logitech. It became too much of a pain in the *** for me, so I just started using my LT+ xbox 360 more.

Im going to give this a shot later and see how it works for the games that I have. This could be a useful sticky if it turns out to work well.

I forgot to mention,sometime at the start of certain games( in the menu), the left Thumstick send continuous command making the menu select go wild. But you just have to move it once to reset it. After that there is no issues.(maybe some random skip in menus)
But I haven't see problems in game.

no, I don't know why ? I have :

403. That’s an error.

Your client does not have permission to get URL /p/xinput/downloads/detail?name=xbox360cemu.v.3.0.rar&can=2&q= from this server. That’s all we know.

rcmn, you're my hero!

I was going crazy, but thanks to xbox360cemu and your command to start xboxdrive I could finally let wine know I'm using a 360 controller.

Fez runs now beautifully with my wireless 360 controller, I didn't even have to remap anything!

Lots and lots of THANKS!
