Xbox 360 Controler support

[PhiloPhil]

It would be nice to play with the Xbox 360 Controler for pc

I have Xbox 360 slim and I wanna connect it to my pc(vista). Do I need bluetooth?
And how should I do then?

How come there isn't an open source or free app that maps an xbox 360 controller to a keyboard?  Is it not as simple as it sounds?  Is it not legal?  Do you have to pay to support the controller or something?  What's the deal?

[zimonitrome]

don't know, but that program isn't working 4 me.

[zimonitrome]

but it's maybe not working because i just tried it with the charge wire

[zimonitrome]

but do u need bluetooth?

[Cory]

From what I've read, you can't plug in a wireless controller to the PC with the charge wire, you need to buy some kind of wireless receiver you plug into the PC

I can't help you with anything, but since I've tried using a xbox controller in the game, I can tell you that it's not as good as it sounds to use with Seal Hunter.

You either have to buy a wireless reciever for your computer (xbox doesn't use bluetooth) or use a wired controller.
I use a program called xpadder (I think you need to donate to download it) which I find works really well, you can map any buttons to any keys and even mouse input.
I used to only play with my controller, but I couldn't be bothered taking it into uni everyday.
