Creating a Controller Patch to Use XBox 360 Controller for a Video Game

After months of searching, a video game I like doesn't seem to have a patch where you can use anything other than a joystick (well...keyboard and mouse obviously, but that gets old!). I'm thinking I should make the patch (is patch the right term?)
for the world to enjoy. Fairly adept developer, but need a place to start with this. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
May the fleas of a thousand camels feast happily on the lower regions of your enemies. And may their arms be too short to scratch!

I'd probably ask in the Xbox development forums.

Reactivate an expired Xbox 360 Entertainment for All account?

I bought an Xbox 360 Entertainment for All console from Best Buy, and after a few months I was locked out because my credit card expired and they weren't able to charge my monthly fee. I neglected to updated by credit card on the Microsoft Xbox website. Long story short, my last payment was quite a while ago, in July of 2013. I been able to use my Xbox since then.
I spoke to Xbox support, and they can only unlock my account if I pay the early termination fee of around $180. They suggested I contact Best Buy and see if they can instead resume my account and continue to charge me the $15 per month.
Does anyone know if this is possible?

Hey vertekal,
Because the Xbox 360 Entertainment for All plan is administered and billed by Microsoft, Best Buy is not able to reinstate your subscription or make any adjustments to your monthly payments -- we do not have visibility or direct access to these records. Full details on the program and billing FAQs can also be found here. The best advice I can give would be to follow up with Microsoft to see what alternative solutions they may be able to provide.
Let us know if you have any other questions.

Creating a file to be used by report ROIUH_LOAD_JEINTF for journal entry

Hello everyone,
My doubt is related to the PRA module -
I have to create a file to be used by program ROiUH_LOAD_JEINTF for journal entry creation. There are other programs also creating a similar file to what I am expected to create.
When I observe the existing programs, they have not used OPEN DATASET statement, instead directly used the TRANSFER dataset and then CLOSE DATASET.
What that does is it creates a file on the app server in a different format with only 1 line even if there may be like 10 lines of journal entry. The file mainly contains # which seems like some internal coding by the system.
When I tried using the OPEN DATASET statement, it wrote all the lines to the app server that were there in my internal table.
However, when I do not use the OPEN DATASET statement, it creates a file with just one line and maily # instead of the actual data from internal table.
Can any one explain what difference does it make to the system when we do not use the OPEN DATASET statement.
You help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Shipra.

Hello Satish,
Thank you for your response.
I think I was not clear enough about my doubt. I do not have any confusion about what OPEN DATASET would do.
In my case, there is a file being written to the app server without using an OPEN DATASET for OUTPUT statement. The Z program directly calls a TRANSFER statement.
The file that is created on the app server looks like:
7042008-11-01 000200100840 ######RD##################203 #### #####10012888 #####RI01 MC3
This file is used by the program ROIUH_LOAD_JEINTF. There are several lines in the internal table for Journal Entry creation but only 1 line shows in the file. However, when you debug the program ROIUH_LOAD_JEINTF with the above filename, you would see that it takes up all the JE lines that were passed from the previous program (the Z program) which created this file.
However, when I changed the Z program to have an OPEN DATASET statement, it had all the lines displayed in the file, the file was very readable.
I just wanted to know how does the system write to app server when no OPEN DATASET statement is written in the program.
Hope I am clear this time. Thanks again.
Regards,
Shipra.

Using xbox 360 controller, is it possible?

Is there a class I need to get or is it not even possible to use the xbox 360 controller in java

I'm guessing it's possible, but you would need an adapter to plug it into your computer (or have a working Java JRE on your XBox) and likely require some JNI to communicate with the port to which you attach the controller. I've never tried it, but I'm just saying I believe it is possible.

Using Xbox 360 with MB Pro

I was wondering if it is possible to use the MacBook Pro display with my Xbox 360. I have tried hooking it up via the vga adapter, however this does not work. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

You can connect your X360 by using the Elgato EyeTV. You will have to resort to using composite cables, however. No HD support for externally connected devices.

Using Xbox 360 to play Ipod

When I hook up my Ipod to my xbox 360, only certain songs will play. I think it is because of the format(AAC) which doesn't seem to work on xbox 360. Is there any way to convert songs to MP3 or WMA on Itunes? Also, if you know any other ways to get all the songs to play on the xbox 360, could you please help me out.
Thanks
Ipod 4g Windows XP

you cant. ipod touches do not support 'disk mode' like other ipods, so you wont be able to access your music files (you can access photos, because it is possible to save photos to your ipod using either the screenshot/save from safari options)
there is third party software available which will do this, try google (or whichever search engine you prefer). you could also try using the search box for these forums, other people may have suggested software for other people to use.

Using Xbox 360 with iMac

Hello,
I was hoping someone might be able to tell me if there is anyway possible to use my iMac as a screen for my Xbox 360, and if not, will there be a way to do that in the near future?
Thank you
SpiredArc

hey,
i looked into this myself a while back. The elgato hybrid will enable you to play your xbox through the screen...however BEWARE... the quality of the picture is terrible. you will only be able to play your xbox on 50hz mode and even then the quality is worse than on a standard tele, let alone one with HD capabilities. i emailed elgato and asked why this was and they said:
"The EyeTV Hybrid has spotty PAL 60 support, so many X360 titles may have sync issues when played with the Hybrid. The EyeTV 250 plus has much better PAL 60 support, as it has slightly different hardware. None of our devices can capture and digitize the HD output from next-gen consoles. Consumer priced component and HDMI capture hardware hasn't really surfaced yet, so we can't make a device with those capabilities yet."
I hope this helps.

Connecting an XBox 360 & Audigy for 5.1 with HDA-

Hi all,
I am attempting to hook up and Xbox 360 through my Audigy SB060 in order to obtain true 5. surround (running Windows Vista Ultimate).
I have obtained a Hitech HDA-X0 which gives me Optical inputs for the Audigy card and connects to the Audigy via a 20-pin extension header.
Basically I need the sound to go 360--->optical input of X0--->connected to Audigy by 20 pin header--->decoded by Audigy--->analogue outputs to my Logitech 5. speakers.
I have been assured by the people who sold me the X0 that this would work.
Unfortunately the manual is all in Korean!
As best I can make out it says that I ought to set the SPDIF settings in AudioHQ to AC-3 SPDIF-In.
This presents two problems:
. The current drivers for Audigy cards in Vista use Creative Audio Console not AudioHQ and
2. In Audio Console under SPDIF I/O, there are options only for Default and SPDIF Bypass.
When set to SPDIF Bypass there is no sound at all.
When set to default, I get sound from the 360 but only if the 360 is set to Digital Stereo output.
When I set the 360 to Digital 5., the sound sto
ps.
I think my problem lies in the lack of an AC-3 SPDIF-In setting in Audio Console.
Can anyone provide me with a solution?

Solved my own problem.
Took a look at the Audigy Vista driver release notes and saw that decoding has been disabled.
Once I dual booted into XP, the surround worked perfectly.
Guess I'll be trying out the nomoregoatsoup drivers so I can get it working in Vista too.
Come on Creative, get your act together.

Programs to use for making video games

I am interested in trying to make my own video game. I just upgraded to a 15.4" MacBook Pro with a 2.33ghz intel duo core 2 processor, 256mb Graphics cards, 120gb hard drive, and 3 gb of ram. I am new to this whole gaming thing, and need to know what kind of programs to get to start doing it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

hi,
well motion could certainly help with producing some graphic elements to use in a game. You could produce explosions and other particle animations. It all depends on what kind of game you want to make, if its a true 3D game you will need a 3D engine which is a whole other kind of fish. And in any case to bring all the graphic elements together with the UI and rules of the game you will need to delve deep into coding. For that you will need to chose an application that can compile code into an application. There is a progrm that is pretty easy to pick up, is very powerful and can compile to Windows and Linux as well as Mac.

I must warn you though that coding is a dark and scary place.
have fun

Why can't the APPLE TV use AIRPLAY SPEAKER-OUT for movies/videos?

I can't find one good explanation on why the Apple TV can't use the Airplay Speaker-Out for Movies/Video content; only for audio/music. Does anyone have any insight into this?
For example, I have a video on my Macbook Pro (or my iPad or my iPhone) and I can stream the video via the Airport Express to my 2nd gen Apple TV, but I can't stream the audio of this video from my Apple TV back to the Airport Express and the speakers attached to it. If I had digital speakers connected to the Apple TV I assume it wouldn't be an issue, but at the moment, I only have analog speakers connected to the Airport Express... and I CAN do this with music only content, but then it becomes silly because in that case, I can just as easily stream music directly to the Airport Express from my chosen device (iPhone, et al.) without going through the Apple TV, but for video/movies, you need the Apple TV for the video; yet you can't use the Speaker-Out for the audio of that video and it just doesn't make sense, unless I am missing something...
Any help is greatly appreciated (a google search came up with nothing useful at all.)

It's not a flippant answer, no-one here will know for sure why Apple have chosen to do this. So in light of the fact that you won't get a definitive answer here, I suspect it doesn't matter because you aren't going to change anything, you just need to accept it.
FWIW, I don't think licensing issues have anything to do with it. I think Apple expect you to have a sound system connected by either HDMI or optical and on that basis any connection via an airport express would be in another room and why would someone in another room want to listen to a movie without being able to see it.
Apple differentiate themselves from others by providing features that everyone wants, they don't cripple their creativity by catering for the few like other companies. I'm sorry but I suspect you are one of the few here.
