X360CE not working on games (and an alternative solution to X360CE)

[ごどすれや]

So I just bought a GameCube adapter because I wanted to play some of my games like dead cells, celeste, the messenger, etc. that are better with a controller and cause I really like the GC controller.
My adapter has already a PC mode so I didn't have to download or change any driver for the adapter, then I installed X360CE because most of the games don't support the GC controller, I downloaded the 32bit and 64bit version of X360CE and configured my control, everything went ok I just changed some settings for the triggers and the analog sticks, I copied the files into celeste and opened the game, everything went ok, the controller worked perfectly, then I copied the files into dead cells and the messenger, but it dind't work in any of those games, I searched in the forums and saw that ticking the "64-bit v1.4" and "64-bit v9.1" boxes in the "XInput Files" could solve my problem, I did that (or at least I think I did) and nothing happened, after that I opened celeste again but now the game didn't recognice any control.
I have tried:
- reinstalling X360CE (both the 32 and 64 bit version)
- relaunching steam
- relaunching the game
- changing to big picture mode
- changing the name of the file (from "xinput1_3.dll" to "xinput9_1_0.dll")

If some one can help me I will appreciate it.


UPDATE:
I searched online and I found a program called JoyToKey that basically transforms any control input to a keyboard input, it's a good alternative but it has it problems, one of them is that, because every game has different keyboard inputs you have to create different layouts of your controller (also you can change your keyboard controls on every game so every game has the same inputs). Also if you open the program you can't close it (well you can with task manager but it's like skype you know what I mean)
It is a good alternative if you are having troubles like me on X360CE, I will keep it using until I can solve my problem.

you need to copy the x360ce files to the games bin folders or where the game has its exe files

I did that but nothing happens, I tried several times with different games and none of them worked

Every single game might require some specific libraries, so be prepared for a lot of renaming. Although you clearly got it wrong, judging by "renamed the folder". There should be no extra folder, rename the .dll file. And just like _I_ said - make sure X360CE files are put in the game's folder right next to the game's .exe, else it won't work.

yeah about the folder. I did not make any extra folder I just renamed the .dll file, sorry for the misundertanding.

you shouldnt need to rename anything
just undo everything you did, and put the x360ce files in the exe folder for each game

This is why I bought an xbox one controller in the end, its just too much trouble when you can have wireless plug and play work from the get go.

He might actually have to. Just like I said - different games might use different libraries, and you have override those.

I'm definitely seeing an improvement in performance, less input delay, much faster reaction to input with Xbox 360 Controller Emulator 4.x Alpha Look for it on its website: https://github.com/x360ce/x360ce/wiki/Beta-Testing try this instead

Thanks I just did that and followed the instructions, and it worked perfectly on the game I use the controller

X360CE is not working for me either

its not really needed unless steam is not seeing the controller

steam -> settings -> controller -> general
tick generic, xbox, ps, nintendo (which ever you use)
then select and identify (it will vibrate)

If you are having problems with the emulator not passing its settings to the game, it is because dinput is not active. Follow this guide https://forums.libretro.com/t/guide-how-to-integrate-x360ce-with-retroarch/8900
If you have "PAD0 Misconfigured device, check GUIDs on x360ce" - click the Clear button at the bottom of the joystick settings window.
