Using an Xbox controller

I'd like to do some prototyping using flash, but it's
important that the input is the same as the final product. Does
anyone know how I'd go about hooking up a game controller's inputs
through flash? I'm on a PC, so MS provides the drivers for their
Xbox controller.

Using JoytoKey software available here:
http://www.electracode.com/4/joy2key/JoyToKey%20English%20Version.htm
It will take keyboard commands and translate them to Joystick
buttons that you assign.
You should be able to hook any USB Controller to your PC
(there is an XBOX one) and test your games. I do it all the time
with my PS2 to USB connection.

  • Xbox Controller (Wired) won't connect to PC for gaming. Please Help!

    So, I bought Dark Souls and I would like to use my Xbox controller. I acquired the drives necessary and had it automatically download the other drives once plugged into my computer, but the Microsoft Xbox 360 Accessories Status does not recognize that the
    controller is plugged in there for it does not let me play using the controller. It, also, does not pop up saying that a joy stick controller is plugged in when I go to joy.cpl through Run. 
    Can someone please tell me what is wrong or what I could do to fix this? I have uninstalled the drivers multiple times and reinstalled and that has not worked either. I really want to start playing Dark Souls!

    Hi,

  • I'm trying to use a madcatz controller on the mac but it turns on for 2 seconds and turns off. the system profiler picks it up as a xbox 360 gamepad but says its not been configured. how can i allow my self use this with my games.

    i'm trying to use a madcatz controller on the mac but it turns on for 2 seconds and turns off. the system profiler picks it up as a xbox 360 gamepad but says its not been configured. how can i allow my self use this with my games!

    I have exactly the same problem.
    I'm a little peed-off with Microsoft on this. The original wireless controller I have doesn't work either since the cable I'm using is 'just' the charge and play cable, so a direct connection to my Mac won't work with this cable. It's a cable for god's sake. Why on EARTH put any limitations on this!?!?
    Next I learn I need an additional USB wireless receiver from Microsoft to get my original 360 controller to talk to my Mac. As I certainly don't want to fork any more microsoft dollars on this, this is not an option.
    Next I think, yes! I have a MadCatz 360 wired USB controller. This should surely do the trick just plugging it in and the way I go. But oh no, for some reason I plug my MadCatz Xbox360 controller in, it flashes a few times then switches off and can't be turned on again.
    The System Profiles recognizes it as a MadCatz 360 device controller but that is about it, but the ontroller software I download for the System Prefs (360Controller, USBOverdrive etc) don't even recognize the controller as being plugged in.
    What the **** Is The Microsoft Deal with all of this!?!?
    PS: Oh, and I forgot to mention, there are No drivers for device 4716 that I can find on the MadCatz website, or am I going blind?
    If anyone has a link, it would be appreciated.

  • How to use orignal XBOX gamepad controller S under OSX ? (not xbox 360)

    Hi,
    i'd like to use my original xbox (not XBOX 360 !) controller on my MBA running under OSX 10.7.
    I tried to install Xbox HID Driver 1.3.4 for Mac OS X from http://xhd.sourceforge.net, but installation failed under Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.
    I'm getting an error message during installation.
    So, is it possible to use my old xbox controller with my mac ?
    Thanks !
    Here is the controller what I'm talking about : the "controller S"
    I bought a USB adapter for this controller :

    I am trying to do the exact same thing. Like you I failed to install that driver. Doesn't seem to be much else out there. Let me know if you have found anything. Think I will just have to step up and buy another controller.
    Sorry to be of no help..but you're not the only one to have this problem if that means anything

  • Can i use my wired xbox controller with a new game i just bought (call of duty 2)

    can i use my wired xbox controller with a new game i just bought (call of duty 2

    If you can find drivers for it (it could be partially supported already since OS X comes with a load of drivers build in)... I guess it could work.
    I know some people use USB Overdrive to make stuff compatible, you might want to give it a spin: http://www.usboverdrive.com
    Then again Microsoft does have a PC version of it: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/p/xbox-360-controller-for-windows#detail s

  • Using the xbox 360 controller in my java application

    Wanted to know if there is a way to get the xbox 360 controller or the nintendo wii to work with my java application. Has anyone been able to access either controller using java.
    Thanks
    GradStudent

    nope. you can use jinput to use game controllers... but only game controllers
    that can be plugged in and have a driver.
    i dont have any game systems, do the controllers have a usb attachment and computer drivers?

  • Using a Xbox 360 controller with Qosmio G30

    Hi,
    I'm trying to use the xbox 360 controller with pro evo soccer 2010 on my laptop.
    At first it was flashing, but then it stopped.
    The drivers and everything have installed correctly, is there any other way???
    In device manager, there are no exclamation marks, it seems fine.
    But the game wont play, unless I use the keyboard.

    Hello
    Maybe the controller is faulty.
    Have you tested it on your Xbox 360 and does it work?
    Can you also test another controller?

  • Using an XBox 360 controller with Mac mini

    Is it difficult to pair a 360 game controller to a Mac mini? I do most of my gaming with my iPad + Apple tv and it usually works fine, but Bioshock is Bioshock so I'm thinking of getting that and an XBox controller.

  • How do I use a xbox360 controller in labview 7?

    So I've just been given a project in my research lab..
    We have to control a gantry arm using labview.  The gantry control is already completely written out in labview using a datasocket server.  However, I've never worked with Labview before.  All I know is that it takes in a number as a velocity and it moves the arm according to that velocity.  What I have to do is use the xbox 360 controller to input that number (a velocity), as well as calibrate it.  If possible, using the mangitude of the joystick angle to input a different velocity.
    How would I go about doing this?  I hav einstalled all the necessary software to talk to the controller, but I don't know how to set it up in Labview.
    Also, Windows XP sees it as a game controller, if that makes any difference.

    You cannot connect those two nodes directly because they're different datatypes, as the message indicates. The axis info contains 8 elements. Thus, you have to pick the one that applies to you and unbundle it from the cluster. For example:
    To learn more about LabVIEW it is recommended that you go through the tutorial(s) and look over the material in the NI Developer Zone's Learning Center which provides links to other materials and other tutorials. You can also take the online courses for free.

  • Run command when (un)plugging (in) Xbox Controller

    Hey,
    I recently got a USB Xbox 360 Controller and set it up using antimicro and the kernel's xpad driver. Now, I want to start antimicro in the background, when I plug the controller in and stop antimicro when I unplug it.
    Is there a more elegant way than running a bash script at startup which periodically checks lsusb's output and acts accordingly?
    ## command to run when plugged in
    /usr/bin/antimicro --no-tray --hidden
    ## command to run when unplugged
    /usr/bin/pkill antimicro
    [klemens@arch-pc ~]$ lsusb | grep Xbox
    Bus 003 Device 012: ID 045e:028e Microsoft Corp. Xbox360 Controller

    OK, I got the reason why not to use the RUN key, but also got confused using a systemd unit. So far, this is it:
    [klemens@arch-pc ~]$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/60-xbox-controller.rules /etc/systemd/system/dev-xbox-{in,out}.device
    SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="045e", ATTRS{idProduct}=="028e", ACTION=="add", SYMLINK+="xbox", ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS}=="dev-xbox-in.device"
    SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="045e", ATTRS{idProduct}=="028e", ACTION=="remove", SYMLINK-="xbox", ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS}=="dev-xbox-out.device"
    [Unit]
    Description=Xbox Controller
    [Service]
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/antimicro --no-tray --hidden
    [Unit]
    Description=Xbox Controller
    [Service]
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/pkill antimicro
    Do I have to use service units? (How) can I put this into a single unit with ExecStart and ExecStop? Obviously, this way it's not working...

  • How to Use JavaScript in Controller Class...

    Hi All,
    Can any one tell me how to use JavaScript in Controller Class.
    Requirement is:
    I have
    Radio Group(RG1),
    Two Radio Buttons(RB1,RB2),
    Two messageTextInput(MTI1,MTI2),
    if i click RB1 i should Prompt to the end user to "Enter value for MTI1" or
    If i click RB2 i should prompt "Enter value for MTI2" while submitting page.
    Please let me know the steps to use JavaScript and the above client validation...
    Regards
    Alem...

    Using javascript is against the standard. I can tell you a workaround instead of you setting the javascript, check if that would be acceptable.
    You can use PPR and set the required property on the messageTextInput on clicking of the radio button. By doing this you will let UIX generate the javascript for you to handle the client side validation. But the validation will happen only on click of the submit button. The visual indicator is good enough to tell that the value has to be entered to the item.

  • Xbox controller for Call of Duty 4

    Hello Guys, I have been playing call of duty 4 on my mac for a while. I am considering buying a xbox controller to play with. While I have played xbox before I definatly need practice to become good at it. On the other hand I do quite well with mouse and keys. Is the xbox controller going to give me better performance than mouse and keys? Or is it even worth my time. Thanks!

    I'm trying to find the same answer myself. Any luck? I called tech support and they said the game doesn't support it, but to look for a keyboard emulator program. You can view a thread I started here http://gamermodzforum.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?p=10412#10412 regarding this same issue.

  • Use of interface controller

    HI
    can u please explain me use of interface controller with simple example along with the code
    Thanks
    kishore

    Hi Kishore,
    Here r the few facts abt interface controller:-
    Used to control access from other components.
    Is created automatically when a component is created.
    Exists as long as its component is embedded in another
    component.
    This controller contains data, methods, and events that can be used by other Web Dynpro components.
    A componentu2019s interface controller can be used by the embedding component for mappings, eventing, etc.
    Interface for external users of a component: data transfer,
    eventing.
    Interface Controller
    One Web Dynpro Component may declare the use of another Web Dynpro Component to form a u201CParent-Childu201D usage relationship. In such cases, the only point of interaction between the parent and child components is the functionality found in the childu2019s interface controller.
    There is a usage declaration arrow pointing from the component controller to a child component. Notice that the arrow joins the child component at the top right-hand corner. This is the location of the childu2019s interface controller.
    At no time does the Web Dynpro Runtime interact with a componentu2019s interface controller. It is only ever used to form a Parent-Child relationship between two Web Dynpro Components.

  • Advantages of using a seperate controller for guest access?

    Can someone give me a good reason to use a seperate controller in a DMZ for guest users versus just trunking a DMZ VLAN to the controller. Certainly it makes sense to have a guest controller when you DMZ is not accessable to the controller locations (or you have a bunch of remote locations, but only one internet connection), but in the event that the controllers are located in a place that it can hit the DMZ is there a good reason to use a guest controller.

    I'm not even sure if that is a good reason. You can alway trunk to another non-routed VLAN and stick a cable modem and firewall to give guest user access. I'm working with someone now that thinks this is the way to go, but I've got to add a 4402-12, a switch (need GB connectivity for the controller) at a minimum. Again, it would make perfect sense if the location of the internet was not in the same building.
