After learning here how to use the XBox 360's controller for use in GM, I went ahead and created a library for D&D members to use.



This is my first library to date. Any bugs, suggestions, and so on I appreciate hearing.

I've included the button graphics in case anyone would prefer changing them, or simply modifying them slightly.

Of course not, but you're able to plug the controller into your usb port and use it for game you build.

Errr... Does it work with a regular Xbox controller? Beacause I don't have a 360.

[RabbidMickeyMouse]

I'm reading on Wikipedia that the original XBox controller used a 'proprietary USB'. It may, but I wouldn't know (as I dont own an original XBox controller), so I encourage you to find that out for yourself, and comment back on any successes.

Well, Wikipedia is right 89% of the time, so I'll try it.

I believe the Xbox controller uses a USB cable with a modified connector - you have to attach a USB connector to the end to use it on a PC.

Whoops! I must have looked at the noobs post that is right below yours! (jk gmkaya your not that noobish! )

Not sure really. I wouldn't know what the 360 controller uses to communicate wirelessly. I'm assuming Bluetooth like the Wii controller, which either way requires some kind of receiver. I'll assume further that wireless controllers would require a DLL, since most joysticks aren't wireless for computers.

How about a wii controller library?

I know there's someone working on a DLL for GM's purposes. I think it may be called Giimote or something. If I were you, I'd search the forums, and see if they're looking into making a library for it (if it works yet).

cool so consoles will happen just use the xbox controller and a computer and all systems go cool so i could find out how this was done and make my own controller and a library for it and have a computer on sale and mod it completely and have it like a whole new console and with the controller and everything work man this is cool i can imagine my first console with games on it now andd i could do the same with a laptop to make it portable.

I'm guessing you're interested in making your own console? Punctuation goes a long way in explaining yourself better.

Anyhow, I didn't make this library (or the easy to use scripts found in the original topic) for making any emulation related activities easier. I'm quite against that sort of thing. I understand that's the first thing that comes to mind for some, but I hope that as game designers, people will think of their own original ideas instead, and respect the property rights of others.
