Have you ever fantacised about playing some fighters on mame, using a hot new arcade stick that just hit the market? but come to find that something as easy as plugging it in to your computer is causing more headaches than a jackhammer outside your bedroom window at 3am?
after banging my head against a wall for the last 4 hours straight for about a month ,
Vandutch and Myself came up with a way to get these sticks working on windows systems, here is the guide, also you can email me at vdubberx@hotmail.com for files if you would like,
we can also assist in getting the proper codes for your stick…
SO LETS BEGIN
README
I did not write the code or develope these programs
GO TO http://redcl0ud.1.forumer.com/a/xbcd_post1571.html
scroll down a bit and Download both of these files that are listed as
http://hostfile.org/xbcdsetupv0400.exe
http://hostfile.org/XBCDv04Fix.exe
PRE STEP <<<<< MOST IMPORTANT >>>>>>>
DELETE ALL PREVIOUS XBOX DRIVERS (this includes previous versions of XBCD, and all Microsoft drivers)
DELETE all INF FIles of previous XBCD installs, and go to add remove hardware to get rid of
Microsoft game utilities 1.1 or whatever you dl from MS for x360 pc support
HAVING any of this stuff will make your life a living hell
1-RUn XBCD setup first before you ever plug in the controller
2-Run xbcd fix file next
3- go to wherever you have installed xbcd+, and look for the folder named “DRIVER”
4- open up the INF file and add code to the bottom of the list of supported devices … it will look like such:
%XBCD_360.DeviceDesc% =Install, USB\VID_0F0D&PID_000D ; Hori Stick EX2
%XBCD_360.DeviceDesc% =Install, USB\VID_0F0D&PID_0016 ; REALARCADEPRO.EX
%XBCD_360.DeviceDesc% =Install, USB\VID_0738&PID_4718 ; Arcade Stick (Street Fighter IV FightStick)
5- save the file, then go to the “EXEC” folder and hit update drivers
6- Plug in your controller
7- then just update drivers as normal by going to
Device manager > hardware
find x360 controllers it will usually be near the bottom.
Expand this to select your device
>> update driver
select from a list
>> no i have the driver… deselct choices
DESELECT CHOICES<<<<< i cannot stress this enough, if a choice is selected,
when you hit browse it will sometimes cause driver conflicts and give u a headache after you have reinstalled
the same thing 80 billion times >>>>>
>> then select the wherever you have placed the xbcd . inf file that you edited in the steps above, OR
the include xbcd . inf file that i have included for SE useres
8- go to CONTROLL PANNEL >> Game controllers to to double check that the stick is working
9- IF THIS STEP DOESNT Work something went wrong:::::
>>>>>>>>> Go to start menu, look for programs XBCD SETUP UTILITY, if everything worked appropriatly your stick
will register movements, buttons will light up, etc… steps 8&9 are the most crucial part
ENJOY,
if you can look for the horixbox360fighting stick ex2 profile for xbcd, this has some changes
that allow MAME to recognize these and other sticks for people… SUCH as POV to hat or is it Hat to pov, whatev
Being as i did this with the MADCATZ SE Fightstick, i just switch the actual stick itself to LS, and skip mapping
buttons, MAME will recognize it, just hit tab and map your stuff there…
ALL CRED for this stuff working goes to
> the guys who made xbcd,xbcd+, redclouds versions of XBCD
>Norsemen (shoryuken formus) - making it work
>vandutch (shoryuken forums) - providing the coding to make the sticks work
:nunchuck:
As always lets keep this open, and keep bumping this thread, if anyone feels like adding to it just post a reply
