here is the line on the log for the joystick:

Enabled Joystick: Controller (Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows)

That controller is already in the list so you should theoretically not be having a recognition error. Maybe you could explain what exactly is going wrong with your setup?

Edit: I should mention that some controllers have needed a slightly alternate system to get the D-pad to work, and the pastebin link you submitted doesn't include those changes. They will be available when Beta2 is released.

ok, i got the controller working, but the buttons are kinda weird, idk if this is for everybody or just 4 me

A, B and Y work fine, the d pad is not working, the left analog just works up and down and it is with super high sensitivity and the right analog is changing the volume

Here are some images that show you how the controller should work!

Those are great for reference, thanks. I think I'm gonna print them too. Smile

Tried all the controls from image/s and the only ones not working are: left stick-fast scroll and home, codec info which are both on the middle xbox guide button. For me that button just brings up the xbox 360 accessories software.

natethomas: Those images look excellent. One question though about the media playback one. On v1.95, back is SmallStepBack, and start is CodecInfo. Yours moves it to the special 360 middle button. How did you get the 360 middle button to work? If so, where can I get that? I'm using Frodo beta 1 and 1.95, and the 360 middle button does nothing.

Hm. Possibly I missread the button numbers, Shiretoko. Let me double check that.

Alright, I think there's something slightly wrong with the button mapping notes in the keymap. There button 8 is listed as "Guide" and button 7 is "Start." When Button 8 appears to actually be Start and Guide doesn't exist at all. Am I missing something?

Code:

<!-- Button Mappings:                    -->

<!--                                     -->

<!-- ID              Button              -->

<!--                                     -->

<!-- 1               A                   -->

<!-- 2               B                   -->

<!-- 3               X                   -->

<!-- 4               Y                   -->

<!-- 5               LB                  -->

<!-- 6               RB                  -->

<!-- 7               Start               -->

<!-- 8               Guide               -->

<!-- 9               Left Stick Button   -->

<!-- 10              Right Stick Button  -->

<!-- 11              D-Pad Up            -->

<!-- 12              D-Pad Down          -->

<!-- 13              D-Pad Left          -->

<!-- 14              D-Pad Right         -->

<!-- 15              Back                -->

AFAIK, it isn't possible to bind anything to the middle lit up button (I'd love to be proven wrong. launching xbmc with that would be awesome). According to my v1.95, 7 is back, and 8 is start.

Edit: in the Game Controllers control panel item, in the Properties of my 360 controller, in the Test tab, no hardware to software mapped item lights up when the Guide button is pressed. Additionally on that screen, 7 lights up with back, and 8 lights up with start. This is with the drivers built into Windows 7, though. I don't know if unofficial drivers or other operating systems offer different capabilities.

OK, that answers part of my question and what about "left stick-fast scroll"? Smile

Edit: Never mind I just saw it's not in the keymap so that should be removed from the image too.
There appears to be custom drivers which when installed enable mapping/using the xbox guide button. If anyone is interested I can test them and let you know if it works out.
