Warning the 360 controller does not work on the PC

I am using a wired 360 controller, I downloaded and installed the software, I plugged in the 360 controller, calibrated it and tested it according to thee computer all the buttons are functioning properly and as they should.

Ok so why can't you use this controller to do anything?

Having the PC read the 360 does not allow you to move characteres in a game or do anything else with it

I HAVE YET TO GET ONE REACTION from any button, trigger, bumper or thumbstick when I try to use it.

Until someone decides they would like to explain step by step the PRECICE WAY from start to finsh what exactly it is that they did in order to move a character in a game using the d-pad and or the thumbsticks. then anyone who says they got this to work is full of crap.

Also don't tell me to go download joytokey eithert because I already tried that route.

There are no instructions with that program, and it is not common sense and it is not simple.

When I launched joytokey, have no idea what I am looking at, what to do, or how i would use this program to allow me to get my 360 controller to move a charcter in game.

Also I am assuming that joytokey cretaes some form of file that makes it work...ok tehre are a few problems with this now.

1) If a file is created where is it

2) Where does the file get placed so it works in conjunction with the game...does it get put into the same folderr as the game...sorry but this joytokey program is crap due to no instructions or any explaination as to how it works or anything.

So as of right now until i get some very detatiled crucial need to know instructions then as far as i am concerned YOU CANNNOT USE A 360 CONTROLLER ON THE PC BECAUSE THE CONTORLLER DOESN"T DO ANYTHING WHEN YOU PRESS ANY BUTTON, MOVE EITHER THUMBSTICK OR CLICK IT DOWN, trying both triggrers and bumpers. So does someone want to explain or I guess my money got wasted

Do a google search for Xpadder to use with any games that don't support pads by default. You can thank me later.gamez-elite

Listen to this guy he knows what he is talking about. XPadder will save your life.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, everyone keeps saying it works but how?

No one is explaining exactly how they are getting the buttons, thumbsticks, and bumpers on the controller to be used.

As i said having the PC read the controller is one thing but why cna't I move my character in any of the 30 games I've have launched

You cannot seriously tell me that all 30 games I have tried, and didn't work not one of them allows me to use the controller.

Now supposedly this program shoown in this link allows you to use ANY game on the PC with the 360 controller:

http://www.electracode.com/4/joy2key/JoyToKey%20English%20Version.htm

Here is the link to that program:

[url=http://www.electracode.com/4/joy2key/JoyToKey%20English%20Version_files/jtk374en.zip[/url]

Well I downloaded this and it's too bad this program doesn't come with any instructions on how to use this.

On top of that it creates .cfg files and then you are left

1) Where does this cfg file get placed?

2) How do you get the game to read that .cfg file

3) what is this configuration files supposed to be named?

When people decide to stop being smart asses and explain things then maybe people wouldn't be getting so pissy.

Ok I downloaded Xpadder and ran it ok and.....

How does this allow me to use the 360 controller in any game I want.

Ok we have established what Xpadder does I have always known what it does but that doesn't explain.

Here this may help you out with the problem I am having

Starting at step one:

1) I launched xpadder.. ok how does this help me use my 360 controller in a game?

Someone needs to fill in the rest from this point on about exactly how you use this to get the game to read my 360 controller.

We are still going in circles with this And I am now beyond pissed off

Step 4 doesn't exist there is no on screen keyboard that pops up so it's impossible to name what you have in there.

Since no one can get the concept of explaining something let me post this another way

Post a dam pictorial showing how you would get The Witcher using teh 360 controller

Show everything the launching of xpadder the file it creates I want pistures of everything

OK, first, for someone who is asking for help and getting as much as anyone can give... you're pretty up yourself here.
Check the 'tude.

Step 4 in that tutorial does exist... go to configure pad, go through each section and the final section is a keyboard. It's really a lot simpler than the trouble you are having with it.

People shouldn't be pissing people off with crap.

When you understand that you might be better off

Ok, suit yourself. I got mine to work, I got mine to play games, I got mine to configure right.
In fact, everyone I have talked to and persuaded to download it has got it working with little effort. Guess that makes you the exception, genius.
Good luck working things out for yourself 'cos I sure as hell aint gonna help ya.

Well I don't see how you or anyone else has helped out, be cause not one person has explained the exact way to use either or these programs

And if the on screen keyboard is there then there is a crucial piece missing which allows you to bring it up. Because I have no idea what you are talking about.

What is the exact proceedure that allows the on screen keyboard to come up because right now it doesn't exist.

Turn down your tone a bit, gamez-elite is helping you to the best of his knowledge, and you should be thankful for that, not getting pissed off that his professional opinion (like that? professional?) is not helping you. It's like going to Oprah about your illegit child, and getting pissed at Oprah that the kid is still there.

I just tried it for fun, and it works! Now i'm gonna play my legally obtained SNES roms with a nice gamepad. Thanks!

to the above 2 posters

You both are blatent liars, there is no way either of you or anyone else could have used a 360 controller on the PC the controller doesn't do anything when you try the buttons in a game

shoot, I just plugged the controller in and I could start to play my legally downloaded SNES roms. Both on my PC and my laptop.
