Update for Windows 8/10 users : The download which I’ve given doesn’t seem to work on a few games that are running in Windows 8. If you having any issues with it, download the latest package from here named ‘x360ce_lib64_r848_VS2010.zip’ [Depending on the 32/64-bit system you have installed] and then download the ‘x360ce.App-2.1.2.191.zip’ and replace the files with the ones which came in my package. That should fix the issue.

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how you can emulate any gamepad or game controller as an Xbox 360 controller.

What’s the use of this?

As you maybe knowing, an Xbox 360 controller is one of the standard game controllers used by various games of this age. There are also few games that supports only an Xbox 360 controller. For those, who cannot afford an Xbox 360 controller or those who already own a controller which is not compatible with several games, this tutorial should do the trick.

About x360ce :

x360ce is an opensource project which focuses on emulating an Xbox 360 controller for windows. It receives input from any game controller and converts into Xbox 360 controller signals and saves it in an dll file which you can use to make your gamepad compatible with almost any game. You can see the full compatibility list
