Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing

Another cool racing game from SEGA featuring Sonic and the gang, this will be popular with the kids, and it's possible to play split screen up to 3 players, considering you got the pads.

It's easy enough to get working with the x360ce_vibmod_3.1.4.0, you can find the download link on this blog.

Copy the files into the directory :

Program Files\SEGA\Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing\

x360ce.ini
xinput1_3.dll

you can modify the x360ce.ini to make all you controllers work.

Oh yeah, now I'm off to play it in split screen. Don't forget to set the resolution / graphics levels using the config.exe file, there is no in game settings for those.

Aliens vs Predator

Another great game with partially working Logitech rumble pad / dual action pad support. I had some problems, with the controller setups. After playing around with it for a while I got it working...

You need to tweak the x360ce.ini as follows :

Set main option "FakeAPI" to 1
Get and set correct VID/PID for you gamepad in pad options

To get VID/PID of gamepad:

Open "Device Manager"
In "Human Interface Devices" find "HID-compliant game controller"
Double click to open properties, go to "Details" tab
From combo box select "Hardware Ids"
In listbox you will see a list of id like: "HID\VID_044F&PID_B323"
So you VID is a hex number after "VID_" ie. in upper example 0x044F and PID 0xB323
Write valuses to x360ce.ini

Then you may start the games, and it should work fine, Before when it was not working it said, press X to use options in menu. Now it will say, press A to use options in menu... I'm just posting this for you all before I dive into this great game.

Bioshock 2

Another would be great game, if it had native pad support. You'll have to get mapping with xpadder.
