Wireless Xbox 360 controller with VICE

[Macguyver]

Anyone had any luck getting a wireless Xbox 360 controller to work with their VICE emulator setup on a PC?

I'm working with Gamebase Vic20 V2.0 as a frontend running Vice 2.4 and I'm not having complete success. While I have managed to get the XBOX analog stick recognized in Vice, what I really want to do is to have it recognize the D-PAD.

Anyone have any ideas? I've been fooling around with Xpadder but even though it recognizes the control input from the D-PAD, this seems only useful to have it register a keypress, and I'm not sure if that is the right avenue to solve this.

On Linux (perhaps for Windows too), I've been using the XboxDRV solution instead of the kernel's xpad module.

Thanks for the tip. I looked into it but it appears to be only for Linux.

I was able to work something out using Xpadder so I finally have the controllers working. Thanks for the suggestion.

I got this working through a LOT of trial and error. The D-pad is a "POV hat" so what I used was Joy2Key to remap to the numpad keys (which is an option in Vice). I have a set-top box with a custom front end to play old games, but this should be the same on your PC.

hope that helps!
