Re: Xbox 360 Controller on PC FFXI - HOWTO

Bluecat, it was originally a JP PS2 Title.

Then came out for Windows, then came out for NA PS2, then came out for EU PC.

oooh ;p

well seeing as how FFXI was made for PS2 first, this is an MMO that plays better for most people, with a controller, only thing you need a keyboard for is talking

I thought FFXI came out for PC first in 2002? and then ps2 in 2003? I used to own the ps2 version back then, they had it for PC before that. But anyway I also have a USB controller that I just bought, so now I can rejoin FFXI and have fun on my laptop! :D One more thing, even though the 360 and ps2 controllers have the same amount of bottons, they are in different spots, I can play a playstation blind folded, give me Xbox controller and I am lost in space. (so for me it would be limiting.)

Re: Xbox 360 Controller on PC FFXI - HOWTO

Which would be a prefered controller to use for the PC? There are one's that look like the ps2 controller but that seems to be kind of limiting... oh well i'll just pick up a usb controler this weekend and give it a go

why would it be limiting? the 360 and PS2 controllers, have the same amount of buttons

Muskie, It worked!

You can place another order of Manlove CC: Renarudo, whenever you please.

I even got the damn Rumble to work. Now I'll know when Tremor Ram is nearby.

Man, I forgot what causes Rumble in this game, it's been like 2 years since I've had it, lol..

Re: Xbox 360 Controller on PC FFXI - HOWTO

I'm giving out a lot of manlove today over people fixing my tech-newb hangups.

Muskie? I totally love you.


(I've attempted this previously. Couldn't for the life of me figure out how to use the 'triggersaredigital' file within the control panel.

Thank yeh!

Because based on the current state of the thread, I was supposed to know the exact content of a post that was made six days prior to me even knowing the existence of said thread

You don't need to know the exact state. Simple context would've been enough. Hell, even if it wasn't incredibly obvious what was said from context anyway, the simple fact that nobody had mentioned a CPU before my post, and a post before mine had been edited is enough to disregard it.

Re: Xbox 360 Controller on PC FFXI - HOWTO

Moonlancer, unless I'm mistaken, there is a USB attachment that makes the wireless XB360 controller compatible with PCs. It's not on the Gamestop site, but I'll Google it later when I get home.

Because based on the current state of the thread, I was supposed to know the exact content of a post that was made six days prior to me even knowing the existence of said thread. In addition, there was no notation of the infraction that was edited, aside from an in-post message that only left an opportunity for implication, rather than base evidence.

But my apologies. I see (albeit, slightly) your point.

Re: Xbox 360 Controller on PC FFXI - HOWTO

if i remember correctly, the play and charge kit WILL NOT transmit the data from a wireless controller. About 2 months ago i did the same thing, except i had to buy a wired controller to make it work. now tho, im not sure what kind of wireless the controllers use, but my PC had no wireless support. I am assuming tho that maybe it would work if it would pick up the signal and recognize the controller. i just remember that the kit ONLY charges, it does not transmit data.
