Emulating a 360 controller

[Randyrob]

Hi all, I am trying to emulate a 360 controller via the keyboard.

I want to run a game with 4 controllers but unfortunately I only have 2 controllers and mouse & keyboard.

I have tried a fair few emulators but can't seem to get it to work, the games aren't recognising the A button properly, only the directionals.

Any advice would be much appreciated, or recommendations to which emulator I should use.

Thanks in advance

thanks for the response - vjoy and joytokey work to a degree....I can scroll menus and select things in the menu, but while it is saying press 'A' to join, I can never 'join' the game as an extra player with the buttons I map to 'button 1' etc

Probably each of us would like to safely and comfortably play using a gamepad , to feel , at least for a moment , sitting himself for the prefix , because of this you get some pleasure. But many are faced with a problem: 50% only support the original Xbox 360 controller , many give up , saying " no no no , do not buy myself a treat, rather play the clave with the mouse, still no difference ."
In another case, in every game you have different layout of buttons , get every time you want to go to options and score new layout and redo everything for themselves ...

Enough to endure ! I want all of you to help solve all problems at once , that is, to kill two birds with one stone . We will play on a simple joystick controller emulator Xbox360, will not guarantee that all of the games , because the method does not try all the games , but all games were one and the same layout of buttons (exception - Splinter Cell: Conviction, maybe some more ) .

stage 1

a) Download the emulator : controller-config.rar [502,21 Kb] ( Count: 32767 )
b) Unpack the archive to any folder , where you will be comfortable .

Step 2 . setting


a) Start the emulator (x360ce.exe). If your controller is connected to the USB, the emulator and you should hear a small voice greeting , if it was not, then your joystick is not connected. Also, there is an inscription at the top of Controller 1 green cube , indicating your controller is connected .
b) At the bottom , select the category "Thrustmaster Dual Tigger 3 in 1 Rumble Mods" and click on the button "Load".
c) Now, just flip through analogue and joystick buttons , see what the buttons do not match. See? Remember Me? Now we start to expose themselves as they wish. Layout of buttons are 5 cells , ie, right, left and bottom center .
g ) Expose button is pretty simple : click on one of the cells ( ie, buttons) , for example on the left side and select the category ABXY "Record", click on the controller and all the Burn button . So make with everyone.
d ) You can manually and drive, just click "Buttons" and choose any desired key.
e) Now the last step . After we have done everything right , put the layout , we click on the button at the bottom of "Save".
step 3

a) After we set up , we need to throw all three files in the folder "x360ce.exe", "x360ce.ini", "xinput1_3.dll" Stage 3

a) After we set up , we need to throw all three files in the folder "x360ce.exe", "x360ce.ini", "xinput1_3.dll" in the root folder of the installed game - where he is . exe ( to example "RaccoonCity.exe"). Here's how it looks like: b) All overthrown . Now run the game itself , and at the entrance you will hear a voice greeting ( exactly the same as what you heard when you turn on the emulator ) . Exception: if there was no sound , it is possible in the game settings turned off the controller if its use , then you should hear a voice greeting .

Try , evading .

Play your health !

Thank you for the response, though you seem to have missed my problem -

I want to map the 'A' button of a 360 controller (emulated) to a key on my keyboard.

I am NOT trying to emulate a 360 controller via a different usb controller
