No gamepad detected solution July 2014

I know there are dozens of threads on the same subject, but I wasn't able to find a solution. All of the links were dead, and the files I downloaded and extracted into my bastion folder were not working. Since I finally got it to work, I thought I would post a new solution thread for anyone searching.

I'm using windows 8, but I assume it works the same for everyone else running windows. The download that worked for me is "x360ce.App-2.1.2.191.zip" which can be found at https://code.google.com/p/x360ce/downloads/detail?name=x360ce.App-2.0.2.158.zip&can=2&q= It contains only one file called "x360ce.exe" which needs to be extracted into your steam bastion folder. You can find that folder by right clicking on bastion and clicking on "properties">"local files">"browse local files". You will then need to run x360ce.exe from the steam bastion folder. It will ask if you want to create a few files; say yes. I allowed it to search for the settings automatically with "search internet" checked.

After all of this, I was able to select my controller within bastion, and it worked from steam with no problem.

If the link is broken, you can find the latest version at https://code.google.com/p/x360ce/downloads/list , but you will want the "App" download that contains the x360ce.exe, and nothing else.

My Afterglow 360 controller on my home computer with windows XP works fine, but when I try to use the Afterglow on on my laptop with windows 7 it won't work. I tried to use this program but it doesn't work for me, the emulator keeps crashing.

Hello.

I managed to make my no-name PS3-style gamepad work with this x360ce emulator too. The brand name of my gamepad is "doop", it's an in-house name of ΠΛΑΙΣΙΟ, the biggest computer retailer here in Greece.

Here is the reference-webpage[code.google.com] I used. The only thing that's not explicitly mentioned therein is that you should load a "Preset" from the ControllerX\General tab in order for the ControllerX sqaure-light to turn green (meaning that the gamepad is ready to run). Since my controller wans't listed, I used "Logitech Cordless RumblePad 2" and it did the trick.

I would say google "x360ce crash"

Hm. This solution did help in terms of my controller being detected now and it seems to function in-game. But now when I want to play with the controller, I get funny stop-and-go-motion. I have a really good PC and I never had issues with not being able to play a game because of lack of ressources or whatever, but Bastion is not working if I try and play with a controller. I don't have an X-Box controller but a playstation/Pc controller. Shame, really. I don't want to play with mouse/keyboard :(

Thank you. This worked like a treat. I'm not very far into the game yet, but I hope I don't have any problems.

Ironically, I'm using a PS2 controller with a dual PS1/2 to USB adapter to emulate an XBOX 360 controller. Microsoft would not approve.

Nice. Glad the post helped.
