[Suggestion] Update game controller support for Windows

[wildsprite]

I do agree, they are awesome drivers

I put the copy of the 64 bit drivers I got before his site went down up on drop box, both of these are seen as signed by my windows 7 64 bit PC
https://www.dropbox.com/s/18xjev3h1o...in7.x64.en.zip <--wireless
https://www.dropbox.com/s/uom8fl3c3c...in7.x64.en.zip <--wired(to access the control panel for this version of the driver you have to run x360csai.exe for some reason that was the only way I could find)

that site does have working 32 bit wireless drivers but these are the ones I was using on my old 32 bit system with windows 7 also seen as signed
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0zb0txh2o4...in7.x86.en.zip

the 32 bit version of the wired drivers are very close to XBCD, which does work on 32 bit windows 7, or at least it did for me

I did pretty much download most of what was on the old site before it went down, I even have a version of these same drivers for original xbox controllers(only cause I happen to have a controller S that was collecting dust)


I should not have to express this but always run a virus/malware scan on anything you get from the internet, even if you trust the source

note: some games will NOT properly see an xbox360 controller with these drivers, they will see it, but you will be unable to do anything with it because the games still see the controller ID as an xinput controller, so you will need to switch to the microsoft drivers for those games

Not just "some" games. All games which are ONLY compatibile with Xinput and accept no dinput peripherals will NOT work with these drivers.
An example? TERA. Think FFXIV too? But I'm not sure.
You can easily solve this issue in another way though, with a little shining tool that I've already mentioned in some of my posts called "X360CE", CE stands for Controller Emulator.
You can google it and find the official Google Developer Project page.

This software was made to allow the use of old Dinput-only gamepads (so not the X360 pad) on more recent games that accept only Xinput.
Consider it an "emulator" that makes the game believe the peripheral you are using is an X360 pad working in Xinput mode.
Of course this works on the X360 pad as well, which wouldn't normally need this trick with the default Microsoft drivers, but it does need it if you're using Morii's drivers.

It's very simple to use. You load the software, associate the buttons on your pad to the function you want and it will create an xinput.dll file (basically an xinput "profile")
Put this file inside a specific location of your game and overwrite the one already there.
Next time you load the game your pad will be seen perfectly even with Mr. Morii's drivers
Need to do this for each game that needs it of course.

It's the way I solved the issue on FFXIV and TERA on my old PC.
Hope I managed to explain myself, getting late and english it's not even my mother language.
It might seem complicated from my crappy description, but I assure you it's really simple.
