HDShadow Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 That's just an USB to Xbox port adapter, of course very necessary but it is far from the whole story. Getting the original Xbox controller working on a PC is more than a bit of a faff mainly because of driver issues. The old XBCD (Xbox Controller Driver) was unsigned and so there were problems because of that and it only supported up WinXP. I think people had it working with Win7 but beyond that I do not know. I gave up on it. http://www.redcl0ud.com/xbcd.html http://www.redcl0ud.com/xbcd_install.html https://github.com/emoose/Xb2XInput The second solution I've not tried but would be the way to go for Win10 users. I note from one of the link pages that Win7 users actually have to have the MS XB360 Accessories driver on their PC for it to work which is why I wouldn't bother with it either. You're better off using a genuine wired XB360/X360 For Windows controller which has specific MS driver support and apparently will actually download/install the driver directly. BTW if you want to download the XB360 controller driver and install it manually it now appears to be impossible to do it via MS downloads. The links to the driver I had are all dead and searching the MS web site just sends you round the houses. So it looks as if you would need to use a third party web site/download instead.

ShinGoutetsu Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) You might be able to get it working by disabling driver signing in Win 10 but I agree a 360 controller is a much easier proposition. I think this is the driver (win 7 32 and 64 bit available but may work on win 10): https://www.microsoft.com/accessories/en-au/d/xbox-360-controller-for-windows or you could try xpadder https://xpadder.xyz/windows/ Personally I use a wired x360 controller which works perfectly on Win 10 x64 Edited February 24, 2021 by ShinGoutetsu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoob Posted February 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 I see... I thought it was an easy task, as much as Playstation adapter or something like that... I guess I'll give up on this as well. thanks anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulstalker Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 You need to download all gamepads using official websites—some website owners are spreading viruses with the help of download files. So, I recommend you download any of the files using the official website. Here I found ShinGoutetsu publish some websites like xpadder and other software. I recommended you download xpadder from official xpadder.net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
