keef247 · 23-07-2008, 04:20 PM

yes?
i hope so as i'm loving sitting back and seshing games on my new lappy with a 360 controller.gears and crysis and grid to name a few are so nice.
please say its so. i really CBA to map keyboard keys:\

pinnacle game profiler will download button sets for the games that you have installed (if it has a readymade mapped set) cos i CBA to map buttons either...

the only thing i did map was windows explorer so i could control the mouse with the 360 pad

edit: forget that ^^^ there isn't a premapped profile for Turok

list of premapped HERE

edit2: and the major problem with pinnacle is it's not free

ah i did that with some free app before... is their many profiles as i started playing condemned and love it but the built in controller support was shocking and i uninstalled it... I'd love to have played it with my controller.the same with mass effect etc yeah i know i could be playing it in high def on a glossy 37"HDTV in my home on my 360 but i love the freedom of taking the laptop anywhere as i'm traveling quite alot ATM and just being able to break of some gaming with the 360 pad.

Me is thinking about getting a 360 gamepad for computer.

From what you've said this seems worth it... true/false?

keef247 · 23-07-2008, 05:10 PM

is VERY worth it.anything with "Games For Windows" on will work outta the box... anything elses by sounds of it sounds easy with pinnacle game profiler... I think theirs a trial I'm going to give it ago...
as for turok i'll map them to the demo controlls on the 36... I hope

mediaboy · 23-07-2008, 05:31 PM

heh...

Something to go with my new processor.

yup yup yup, theres a 30 day trial that you can use. i'm currently in the process of trying to find a free version that works just as well

but pinnacle's only about £10 IIRC so it's not too bad...

and mediaboy, it is very good for games on the PC

and other random things aswell.

just grap a cheap 360 controller (download drivers from M$'s website) cos you can often find standard 360 controllers cheaper... and they are exactly the same as the games for windows ones, the GFW's just come with an out of date driver cd...

it was nice having a wireless controller hooked up to my PC but i sold it to my brother with my 360

so i just have his wired one now

keef247 · 24-07-2008, 02:02 AM

urgh its being a pain in the arse for far cry.updated it trying each patch now on 1.4...

hmmm. going to try 64bit is there a 64 for intel now or will the amd work?
well annoying i keep getting into it then it laggs then comes back and it isn't my graphic settings:@
controls are alright bit dodgy response but yer could be this issue with the game. I can't wait to try mass effect with it in the morning... and digg out MOHAA and try that ooo yeah.that'd be well nice

as i never finished it...

To my surprise I discovered that Turok has built in support for the 360 controller and the layout is pretty much how I setup the profile except the weapon selection works better. Anywho, I don't know if the game had built in support for any other controllers so I'm glad you found a use for my profile. Razz

ooooo nice original topic=ftw by sounds of it. fingers crossed.i'm going to get it this week at some point.i'll post back if this is true... fingers crossed as it was real nice on the 36...

that was on a thread for a pinnacle setup for turok...

your right!!!

you just reminded me...

it's even in my bookmarks

i'll give it a try and see what it's like

edit: it's called xpadder

edit2: it's nice and easy to use and VERY quick to setup

gets a 5/10 from teh Pandi

, mouse movement is a bit sluggish... and pinnacle is a better program overall (which is to be expected TBH)

looney · 26-07-2008, 01:32 AM

^ yeh thats the one

need to try it myself too

keef247 · 31-07-2008, 09:10 PM

lol i did mention this before that i had tried one.x-padder yeah. but pinnacle is better.
