Solved XBCD drivers for Xbox 360 gamepad

[4all]

Got my 360 controller 3 days back. Initially installed the Force Feedback driver over the official drivers. To check out the vibration I decided to try it with the Lilypad plugin of PCSX2 and observed that while Xinput worked fine, the Directinput feedback resulted in only the left actuator working for both the small and big motor outputs.

Hence decided to tryout XBCD. So I uninstalled the force feedback driver, did the XBCD installation with admin privileges in test mode, updated with the unsigned driver, ran the setup utility and configured the triggers as separate axes. However, when I tested in with Lilypad, I found that the DirectInput vibration doesn't work at all. Also when I tried it out with X360ce, the DirectInput yet again didn't work while XInput resulted in PCSX2 crashing.

So did I do anything wrong, or is it that XBCD works this way? (Using W7 x64)

Hello everyone,

My first post... and I'll admit that I don't understand much about drivers etc, so please keep it simple!

I love the idea of using my wired 360 pad, but the sticks 'drift' if they're not returned completely to their neutral position; which is a pain for playing Halo, and things of that nature, because it kills the precision.

I installed XBCD 2.7 (or I think I did...), and I can't make it work. It installed fine (took a couple of minutes, though... felt like a long time) then asked me to restart the PC, which I did. I then launched Halo immediately, to see what the effect had been. The left stick was completely unresponsive, although the rest of the pad seemed to work fine.

I returned to the desktop and tried to run the XBCD Setup Utility.

[CLANG!], and an error; "Error in xbcdsu.dll ... Illegal value: requestedRunLevel".


I then tried to run x360ce.

[CLANG!], and another error; saying that I didn't have MSVCP100.dll.


Any thoughts? Thanks in advance,


DH.



EDIT:

Ah. Actually, the triggers aren't working either. And nor is the D-pad. And uninstalling XBCD hasn't helped...!

Bugger. I hope I can get the old drivers back on...

... all the same, help would be deeply appreciated. If I get sort out this infernal drift, I'll have my ideal setup.

Cheers.

Sorry to bump this thread I really need some help, I'm on Windows 7 64-bit and I'm getting BSOD with this.

I've used DSEO, disabled driver signing, ran everything as admin, signed the xbcd.sys file (C Windows System 32 Drivers xbcd.sys), manually updated in Device Manager and it all works fine, works perfectly... until I restart my PC.

When it reboots (still in test mode) as soon as I click on the XBCD Setup, or anything related to the game controller it BSOD's with xbcd.sys message, I can't fix it unless I uninstall the xbcd driver (which defeats the point of having it in the first place)

My USB port isn't overloaded, my PSU is fine, I'm only using 1 other USB port and that's for a G9 mouse.

My CPU, RAM etc etc is 100% stable it's definately not that, any ideas what this could be?

Other people have it working fine on Windows 7 64-bit how come it's not working for me?

I'm doing this with 0.2.7 btw, tried installing (as admin) driver only, and driver with certificate- both give me BSOD after a reboot.

Hope someone can help me I really need this

@ DarkEnergy : Are you trying to use old profiles that you had in an older version of XBCD ? When I wanted to use my old profiles in Win7-64 with version 0.2.7, my PC was freezing badly (no BSOD though, just a plain green screen xD). I have just redone my profiles manually so that the files are compatible with the new version, and it works fine... If that's not corresponding to your problem, then I don't know sorry.

DSEO makecert problems

Hello, thank you for posting technical solutions for our connection problems!

I am trying to install the Xbox 360 pad on my laptop, which is running Windows 7, in 64 bit mode. I have followed the instructions relayed by Zorlac explicitly, but still can not see "Microsoft Common Controller For Windows Class" in the device manager. I have disabled UAC, downloaded XBCD 0.2.7 installer as well as DSEO 1.3b, run the XBCD installer as a system admin., and installed only the drivers. After turning Test Mode on, in DSEO and rebooting I see the watermark. I can see xbcd.sys in the system32 folder as well. I attempt to digitally sign the driver using DSEO, but when I run it I get two errors:

"Can't find 'C:\Windows\makecert.exe" (or something like that). McAfee then tells me it found the "Artemis![random characters]" trojan" and quarantines it. I hear that DSEO fires off false alarms, so I went into msconfig and turned McAfee off, on the startup menu. After trying it again, it gets past that step but then hangs up because it can't find certmgmnt.exe or something like that.

It appears that makecert.exe must be on most windows 7 machines, or people won't be able to get this to work, so the problem is probably related to McAfee, but I don't know how to completely shut it down (albeit only temporarily) for the loading process. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Thanks,

So I get all the way through installing my controller. It's now glowing happily, and when I go to caliberate my controller, nothing happens. I go to click on xbcd setup utility, it won't open. So at the moment, nothing is working, even though my controller (Afterglow) is glowing now and has the Player one section turned on.

I've realized that this hasn't been updated for months and months, but It's the most helpful thread anywhere that I've found on this subject, so I'm sort of hoping against hope, but thanks if anyone knows what's the sitch

The way I got mine to work was to download xpadder and calibrate the controller using that instead of the XBCD.

 

[NuclearPenguin]

Tried the step by step on page 1 left by Zorlac. Tried opening the XBCD util and it crashed. Then I lost my start menu and everything. It's just popped up now after about 10 minutes. The system has been running really slow (5 minutes to load a webpage) however, now it seems fine. Is this a normal side affect from the programs being used?

SUCCESSORY!

Well I finally have it working, and for posperity I'm going to post the steps here, because thread is one of the most popular hits when you type "XBCD Windows 7" on google, and given the views I suspect a few ppl are going through what I went though, so here is how I did it:

Install Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider 1.3b, choose "Test Mode" and reboot.

Install the 0.2.6 drivers from XBCD - XBox Controller Driver Forum -> Latest 0.2.6 Version

Run the driver installer as Administrator, installing only drivers. Dont bother installing the certificate. Reboot.

Run DSEO again, hit Sign System File, then type "C:\windows\system32\drivers\xbcd.sys". Reboot again.

Open Device Manager, look for "Microsoft Common Controller For Windows Class", and goto properties for "Xbox 360 Controller".

Goto Driver tab, and click "Update Driver". Click on "Browse my Computer for Driver software".

Click on "Let me Choose" and you should see XBCD driver. Click it, hit ok and that should do the trick.

Open the XBCD Setup Util, and you should see the gamepad listed. The buttons go crazy, but this is a fault of the setup util, always has been. 0.2.6 even has built in profiles for different mappings, the one I use is triggers on seperate axis. I tested this out on rFactor and it works great, rumble support and all.

Hopes this helps anyone else having this problem!

"Click on "Let me Choose" and you should see XBCD driver. Click it, hit ok and that should do the trick."

Where?? The Xbox Controller are listed under "Other devices" here. Should I Browse for it, I tried didn't work putting "C:\Program Files (x86)\XBCD\Driver" there. And "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer" doesn't list it anywhere..

Edit: I made it! I went for List devices then chose All devices, then chose XBC Project at the bottom

xbcd 64 bit for Hori FS-EX2

Hi,

For those who are trying to get the XBCD (v 0.2.7) 64 bit drivers to work with a Hori FS-EX2 flight stick for airplane simulation, there is a line that needs to be added into the .ini file for the driver to recognize that is is supposed to be used.

Go into the C:\Program Files (x86)\XBCD\Driver folder and open the xbcd.inf with notepad.

There are 2 occurrences of the ;Xbox Controllers list below.

;Wired Controllers
;Xbox Controllers
%XBCD.DeviceDesc% =Install, USB\VID_044F&PID_0F07 ; Thrustmaster Controller
%XBCD.DeviceDesc% =Install, USB\VID_045E&PID_0202 ; Microsoft Xbox Controller
%XBCD.DeviceDesc% =Install, USB\VID_045E&PID_0285 ; Microsoft Xbox Controller S
%XBCD.DeviceDesc% =Install, USB\VID_045E&PID_0287 ; Microsoft Xbox Controller S
%XBCD.DeviceDesc% =Install, USB\VID_045E&PID_0289 ; Microsoft Xbox Controller S
.........

Add in the first line below ;Xbox Controllers shown below in both instances of this list:

;Wired Controllers
;Xbox Controllers
%XBCD.DeviceDesc% =Install, USB\VID_24C6&PID_5504 ; HORI EX2 Flight Stick
%XBCD.DeviceDesc% =Install, USB\VID_044F&PID_0F07 ; Thrustmaster Controller
%XBCD.DeviceDesc% =Install, USB\VID_045E&PID_0202 ; Microsoft Xbox Controller
%XBCD.DeviceDesc% =Install, USB\VID_045E&PID_0285 ; Microsoft Xbox Controller S
%XBCD.DeviceDesc% =Install, USB\VID_045E&PID_0287 ; Microsoft Xbox Controller S
..........

Then plug in the controller, in Device Manager find the flight stick and in it's properties/driver tab update the driver and install from a specific location and point this at the C:\Program Files (x86)\XBCD\Driver folder. That should load the driver for use with the flight stick. Then you can map the buttons and sliders using the XBCD Setup Utility as per normal.

Was very happy when I got this working!
