XInputPlus.

Can't help you figure out why XInputPlus isn't working for you if you're not even saying what's going wrong with it.

It's kind of sad how Microsoft has convinced even indie developers to only implement XInput in most games, rather than Directinput. It is inferior in every single way.

In terms of wrappers, sorry i don't know - you say to not suggest unless i have experience, so i cannot.

I have heard that using such wrappers from direct input to xinput or vice versa causes input lag though. I wish people still supported direct input though. Well they do for simulation games as those aren't possible with stupid xinput.

I found a tester for GDInput, i don't know if it's actually a converter, i don't have a wired xinput controller to try.

Are you sure it's even an xinput to direct input wrapper though? From a (very quick) skim read, it doesn't explicitly mention it - although if it isn't then i wonder what it is wrapping exactly.

The problem I'm having with XInput is getting the analog sticks, or even the controller to work at all when playing. It seems to work in the menu to setup stuff but when I start a race nothing works.

I'm using nglide to play in glide mode... I wonder if that's the issue.

ok, observations:

1: controls work out of the box on my 360 controller. Only reason to use XInputPlus would be to emulate force feedback.

2: Mapping controls don't work with XInputPlus. Map all controls before installing XInputPlus. It's a bit annoying mapping the axis properly since the default XInputPlus config doesn't perfectly match a 360 controller.

3: Need for Speed II SE Glide + XInput Plus works perfectly.

hrm... I wonder what the problem is here then.

the problem with an xbox controller in games expecting a direct input controller is
he left and right triggers will act as a single axis representing the signed difference between the triggers, not as 2 independent analog axes as direct input controllers have

this may help
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xbcd/

I don't think that supports xbone controllers, only xbox and xbox 360 ones. I'm going to try and get it working again with Xinputplus.

:EDIT:

Well that was weird, before it refused to work at all and now it's working fine. I guess the reboot I did fixed something... so I can starting working on my new guide for it. 😀

Need for Speed II SE actually supports this just fine. You can use the triggers for analog acceleration.

You can switch the Xbox One controller back to single axis for analogue triggers just by switching to some older drivers - http://www.videogameperfection.com/2016/02/24 … native-drivers/

The problem on the Xbox One controller with the latest drivers isn't that the left and right triggers will act as a single axis, because they are now separate, it's that the triggers are set at 0 rather than in the middle of the axis. Lots of games expect the axis to be in the middle rather than 0 so they think you're actually pressing/moving the controller when you're not.

Need for Speed II SE actually supports this just fine. You can use the triggers for analog acceleration.

What if you want to drift though? There's simply no way to press the throttle and brake at the same time with that setup.

Thanks Bucko, it seems I am indeed using the older driver so that I can have analog accelerator/brake.

This is great info, thank you for sharing it.

Good point (maybe, I don't recall NFS2 SE ever being difficult enough to need that high level of control).

Good thing we have XInputPlus which allows us to remap 360/XB1 controllers however we want.

I'm interested in trying that, since the site is in Japanese can you clarify, does it create any other problems/side effects? Does it require you to test sign the driver or anything like that?

Well it might not work with everything.

And no, it's not a driver. It's just a API wrapper, it doesn't require signing anything.

Awesome, I'll definitely give it a look. Couple other people recommended it since I put up my Xbox One controller review too.

It automatically detects your language (if english, dunno about others) and switches to that.

Indeed, tried it with one game and after a bit of faffing in the config file it's working great. Xbox one controller (wired), Driver version 6.2.11059.0 [26/05/2014].

I definitely need to write up some tutorials for this.
