XBox 360 Controller + Windows 2003 Server?
Hi,
My day development job means I have Windows 2003 Server as my primary development machine. I have XNA, DX and all that working fine, Space Wars works great.
I've not got an XBox 360 yet (saving up for Christmas / whenever XNA gets released so I can get my hobby games on the XBox) - but was going to buy a XBox 360 Wired Controller for now.
I know there is no *official* support for such devices on the Windows 2003 box - but has anyone got the wired XBox 360 controller working on their Win2k3 box and nicely accessible by XNA?
Thanks,
Paul
Thanks loads Derek!
Thats a shame. I was hoping that it might not even need a driver, that you'ld just plug it in and it would appear (may be after some fiddling) in the Game Controllers control panel applet.
I know the only usb perperphiral I cannot get working is one of my digital cameras - which uses UPnP rather then just PnP for whatever reason. Perhaps the controller uses that too.
Currently, to my knowledge, there are no official drivers from Microsoft to enable support of the Xbox 360 controll on Win2k3.
A little googling, however, came up with a third party project that has yeilded what so far seem to be decent drivers.
I found them here: http://redcl0ud.1.forumer.com/index.php?showtopic=1173
You'll need to check the readme files, then go through the hardware installation wizard after you've installed the drivers (at least I had to).
Enjoy.
