XInput Plugin (Xbox 360 Rumble + Both Triggers)

[Billard]

i saw ppl were asking how to get the rumble and both triggers working on the 360 controllers, so today i downloaded the DXSDK, learned XInput, and made this simple input plugin.

holy crap XInput is SO easy to program, I cant believe that MS could make something work so well, if only the controllers were bluetooth and i didnt have to have this stupid $30 dongle plugged in. lol

right now there is no configuration, next version will have that, but i think i got the controls set pretty good for now.

A = A and Y
B = B and X
C Buttons = Right Analog
Z Trigger = LT
R Trigger = RT
L Trigger = LB

Supports 4 Xbox 360 Controllers Wired or Wireless with Default Microsoft Drivers
Rumble and Both Triggers work separately

i attached the file, lets see if it shows up,
other wise i'll have to edit the post or somethin

edit ok here is a link to download

Download (http://host-a.net/AlternativePlus/Billard_XInput_v0.2.zip)

ok new version v0.2
fixed the axis bug

That's awesome dude! I've been looking for something like this. But what do I need to enable Rumble?

Also, Microsoft sells a Xbox 360 Wireless Accessories adapter, $20 USB Dongle-like thing, don't know if it works on any other Bluetooth accessories.

[Billard]

to enable rumble just
choose the plugin on PJ64
have ur controller(s) connected with the regular MS drivers
and play a rumble enabled game

you can also connect/disconnect controllers while the game is running
if the game supports it
i know smash brothers does idk if anything else does

i know they sell that wireles adapter
tahts the one im talkin about
its the only one that works with the 360 controllers because they arent bluetooth

[Shugo]

Yes, Super Smash Brothers works, but Super Mario 64 doesn't. Will it only work for Super Smash Brothers?

[Billard]

im pretty sure the rumble pak came out after Super Mario 64
so there is no rumble in that game

i know it works in

OOT
SSB
banjo kazooie/tooie
donkey kong
star fox
paper mario

tahts all that ive played, im sure there's more

[Agozer]

im pretty sure the rumble pak came out after Super Mario 64
so there is no rumble in that game
There is a Rumble Pak version of Super Mario 64, but it only came out in Japan.

Billard, get on over to https://nragev2.bountysource.com/ and you can add xinput into nrage,.. so that it supports both dinput and xinput.:P im also looking for someone who can write driver support so that XBCD has full support for dinput and xinput. O.o

[Billard]

do i gotta download the source of nrage one file at a time???!!??
cant i download a zip file with all of it or somethin?
i got the source of an older version of nrage
ill add in xinput if u can get me the latest source

[Clements]

Use a SVN client like TortoiseSVN to download the latest source in one go.

If using TortoiseSVN, make a new folder, right-click > SVN Checkout and paste in the following URL:

https://svn.bountysource.com/nragev2

[squall_leonhart]

if needs be i can provide a .tar.gz archive.

shouldn't be too hard to support both Xinput and Dinput, (including the different rumble methods)

[Billard]

I'm pretty new at c++,
and I cant get this crap to compile lol.

I've been looking through the code and I understand where I can add in xinput.

but
I compile it just how it is without changing any code

Then I try out the plugin on PJ64 and I get blank error window

when the plugin initializes or
when I click configure controller plugin

But, the "about" button works fine

any ideas why this happens?

I have latest DXSDK, using codeblocks with latest GCC compiler

[squall_leonhart]

is the compiler complaining about anything missing?

[Billard]

nope, compiles successfully

[squall_leonhart]

could be an issue with 1.6... but i doubt it.

[Shugo]

I just realized something: It doesn't work well with Ocarina of Time's Debug ROM. The Range is like, very lower. I can't run unless I'm Z-Targeting, or jump to the left or right.

i noticed the problem in zelda too but,
it should have been fixed in the 2nd version i uploaded
are you using 0.1 or 0.2

[Shugo]

Oh, didn't know there was a second version, thanks!

[coc0]

Thank you for this :)

[mortymcdeathfac]

Why cant I change the controls?

[Funkstar De Lux]

Is there any way to make it so R Trigger = RB? It seems silly to map a button to an analogue trigger when it's not necessary. It would also give us symmetry between LT and RT.

Hi Billiard,
The xinput plugin is great - the best method for getting rumble to work yet. Can you please consider releasing the source so that others can adapt your code for their projects?
Many thanks,
Robert.

[squall_leonhart]

i would like to see about adapting it into nrage

i dont want to release the source, because i would be embarrassed of my bad coding skills, lol

anyways xinput is so simple
you could learn it in 5 minutes

but if anyone has any questions, i could help them

[Tophillious]

Im getting an error when I download. Anyone have a mirror?

[SKA]

do i need a usb plug in for my controller for this to work?

[SaleenS7TT]

So I put the file in the Project64 Plugin folder, then what?

[Shugo]

do i need a usb plug in for my controller for this to work?

Only if you have a wireless one. If it's wired, it should work.

[SaleenS7TT]

Nevermind, working now! :)

[Clements]

I have made this thread a sticky in the Plugins forum to avoid it being lost in the dark recesses of the PJ64 forum.

[RedSky0]

So can I just confirm, this allows you to get a wireless 360 controller with a usb receiver to work with rumble and analogue sticks just as well as the wired one?

Thanks.

That'd be a lot harder than you think. Adding XInput at this point you'd have to add a whole new set of functions and data structures, it'd make the code completely unreadable (as opposed to mostly unreadable as it is now).

As it stands the best option for NRage is still for people to just get a fully functional DirectInput driver like XBCD. It still bothers a lot of people that MS didn't bother to code in full support for DirectInput into their official driver. And since no other controller supports XInput (because the buttons and functionality are limited exactly to that of the X360 controller) it doesn't make sense to switch the code over, even though it may be easier to write XInput code.

How to connect my Xbox 360 to the internet through my laptop running vista ? I have Created a network bridge between my wireless connection and the Ethernet connection but when I run the xbox live test the IP address fails. Please help me

Wrong topic, wrong category, completely wrong message board. This forum is for discussion of emulators. Maybe you should quit drinking? :blink:

[Yogi]

Great stuff!

Hope you could make it such that users can customise buttons according to their preference.

Btw, the rumble don't work for me. :( Tried california speed, mario 64 shindou edition & a few others.

Edit: Oops, just realised that it's coming to 1 year!! :ph34r: GUess there's no more updates. :(

[MasterPhW]

Yeah, because XCBD is much more compatible and should work with all XBox360 controllers. Use it instead and it should be fine with the newest NRage betas.

I had already patched my v107 XBCD to v0.2.1, but it never recognises my xbox360 controller. Under the device window, there's nothing, let alone configuring. :(



Edit: With some effort, finally got it working!! :D

It seems that this driver is still the only way to get rumble and left (z) and right trigger combined control (Mario Kart 64 must have) with an xbox 360 wireless controller. The main thing missing is memory pak support and a control panel.

Please provide source and I can code in these features.

[squall_leonhart]

use the source for nrage 2.1 and change the controller support from dinput to xinput

The plugin crash in my computer. this is the crash message:
