Re: Xbox 360 Controller on PC FFXI - HOWTO

That is a really jazzy idea, you can finally have the graphic support of a PC and the feel of a console game o.o;; I may have to see about doing this for my toaster at home to appease my girly while she's playing FFXI ^^ this seems to be more than a step above those that figured out how to connect the Wiimote to their computer

would also like to note, that I would only do this if you already have a wired 360 controller, if you dont, just go buy a 20$ USB controller (most look like PS2 controller) and use that

nice guide but you need to note, that for 64-bit OS users, this wont work, because the drivers are unsigned -.- and at least Vista has been updated to where you cant disable the driver sign check.

People who use an XB360 controller, via USB, to play PC games. FFXI doesn't recognize the Triggers as buttons, because Windows recognizes them as each as an "Axis," hence, the same rules apply to them as do Joysticks.

You can't map Joysticks to buttons in FFXI, so this guide helps you get around that.

Thanks, OP, this is a real pain to me, because I had to make the Start Button my Auto Run, and the Select Button my Screen shot.

It works, but it's annoying. I'm at work now, so I'll download the files and post here if I get it to work.

Greetings all, First post

A lot of people on my LS have been asking me about getting their 360 controllers plugged into XI for the PC, espectially with the LT/RT Issues and Rumble support.

So, I wrote up a guide, and Made it into a nice, informative, picture-filled PDF.

This is my first time qriting such a guide, so if anyone could point ut any problems, it would be great.
