XBOX 360 controller

[jwat381]

how exactly do i get my 360 controller to play on my PC. please give the instructions in complete english. i dont speak computer. that's the main reason i never played mva for the PC cuz i would never ever be able to get the mods to work. but yeah, i would really like to play this game with some type of gamepad, preferably my 360 controller. how? thanks.

I dont own a 360 but as i understand, you plug the controller in with a USB cord and i think windows will automatically read it as a gamepad but there is also another thread about this with a link to a utility you might want to check out, I definatly suggest playing this game with a game pad its alot more fun.

Hope it helps, someone who uses a 360 controller might be of a little more help

I'm using a 360 controller.

You need to plug it into a USB outlet, and your computer should recognize the controller (Both Microsoft, after all), and calibrate it with on screen instructions, and then once the computer fully recognizes it, load up MX Sim, controls, adjust everything and your good to go. There might be a tool you need to download, I can't remember what it is called though.

sweet, i'll give it a go. if i dont have the USB cable, where would i get it? i have an unopened 360 controller, but it doesnt seem like it comes with a usb....

The adaptor that connects the XBOX 360 to the controller is a USB.

Unless it is wireless, but I don't know how to work a wireless one with the computer. That controller is for 360 only.

is it bluetooth? ive heard of people using the PS3 controller through bluetooth, even sixaxis works :O

[jwat381]

i dont really know. i dont have any usb cables with my 360 controller. its wireless? i tried my PS3 controller but it wouldnt calibrate. thanks for the help tho.

For the 360...theres a 20.00 hookup for the wireless that you can hook the little connector into a usb and it will recognise the controller....maybe the charger will work with the wireless one...it didn't with my laptop...but after all that is vista......

[jwat381]

so i went to best buy and got the 20.00 thing and came across 1 problem, i dont have windows xp. i only have 2000. so what should i do? i downloaded the one driver that says it'll work for 98/2000/me and installed it and it works but now the reciever and the controller arent communicating or something. HELP

Hmmm, I'm afraid that anything before XP generally has trouble with identifying any new hardware and needs drivers installed. The X Box 360 didnt come with any software did it?

[monstermx117]

none at all....your best bet is to get xp....but only xp...I have vista on my laptop....its horrible...but yeah...
