Hi there, is there any way you can find out which "Games for Windows" titles are compatible with the Xbox 360 for Windows controller? I have Fallout 3 and Crysis that both work great but Stranglehold does not work at all.
It does say on the back of the box in the form of a little controller sign (although it doesn't for Crysis) but I buy online so I cannot see the box. Anyone know any others that deffo work?
Thank's, Cus

Grab older versions of xpadder ( released as freeware once the latest version is out)
you can map the controller and thumbsticks to whatever you want
essentially making every game work with the 360 controller and being able to use it for normal tasks like on the desktop moving mouse opening things etc

if you buy the wired 360 pad for pc it comes with the mapping software on cd i believe.
i cant think of a game mine hasn't worked on
The wired pad I bought recently had no CD/DVD disc whatsoever, just the joypad, 9 ft of cable and the warranty stuff in various languages.
Does windows update not provide drivers etc. automatically?
Yeah, Vista 64 did when I connected the pad.
What's great is prototype saw the pad and changed the controls to what they are on the 360 as well.
Win-win situation all round
All "games for windows" games should work fine as they've got to be compatible.

Although depending on how you read that it could be that if the game supports a controller it's got to support the Xbox 360 pad but it doesn't have to support any controllers.Support for the Xbox 360 "wired" controller and the Xbox 360 Controller for Windows (same product with different name) if game supports other controllers
got mine from play a couple of years back it was on the driver disc ithink. i have the cd still but havent used the controller for ages
Thank's TAKTAK, Xpadder done the trickI might actually buy the new version (if there is one) as I would gladly give the guy a tenner for his work as i think it is a great app.
Thank's to everyone who offered a suggestion as well

I bought the 360 controller for Windows last month and that came with a disc but I also bought a 360 controller for the Xbox I have not took it out of the packaging yet but there is no disc inside unless it is a micro disc of some kind

Does it have the red packaging? It will have a disk but you don't actually need it since windows installs the drivers for you. Works just the same as the wired pad.I bought the 360 controller for Windows last month and that came with a disc but I also bought a 360 controller for the Xbox I have not took it out of the packaging yet but there is no disc inside unless it is a micro disc of some kind
Sorry I should have said they are both wired controllers I bought, the Xbox 360 Live one came in a green and white packaging. There is clearly no disc as the back of it is clear plastic and you can see the info and instruction pamphlets neatly packed behind the wire.
Anyway I got it sorted thanks to xpadder.I even got it working with Conan AOH although I have not mapped it out the way I would like it yet.

It installs the drivers automatically for you when you connect the controller...
But if it doesn't, then you should be able to download the drivers from http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/do...ategory=Gaming
Sweet just downloaded Xpadder and it seems to work a treat thanks TAKTAK ^^
