I'm fighting the GOOD FIGHT and refusing to buy a console. Lots of good reason not to. I built my son a pretty descent gaming rig with good performance at the 1280x1024; the highest resolution his monitor support. Now that he is old enough to hang out at his buddies house this is what I'm hearing". "They have one of those Xbox games and you can play 2 players at once! They don't need a keyboard an mouse; they have controllers."
Well heck; you can do that with PC games but it isn't exactly an easy exercise. Since PCs are the red-haired stepchild to consoles in the game developer's eyes many of the ports suffer in the graphics department but they do keep the gamepad support. Great, USB gamepads are cheap. Whooa, but the support is for Xbox controllers at around $40 each. Screw that.
I did some research and there is some emulation software calls x360ce.
I ordered some relative inexpensive logitech controllers in hopes of getting this emulation working. Ordered a pair of these, Logitech F-310
Anyone gone this route also?
What kind of results do you have with x360ce and getting the emulation to work correctly?
I'm guessing this should work with about any games that offers gamepad support right?
