LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7

For LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 to work as you are used to with your Logitech Rumblepad2 or Dual Action Gamepads, you will have to do the following:

Download :

http://rapidshare.com/files/343322681/xbox360cemu.v.3.0.rar

or

http://xinput.googlecode.com/files/xbox360cemu.v.3.0.rar

Extract the files :

dinput8.dll
xbox360cemu.ini
xinput1_3.dll
xinput9_1_0.dll

into the installed game directory like :

\Program Files (x86)\WB Games\LEGO® Harry Potter™ 2\

or locate the file : LEGOHarry2.exe

and place the files in the same directory...

Now I'm as a fan of all the LEGO games going to enjoy this game... With my Rumblepad2!

Assassin's Creed: Revelations

To get your Logitech Rumblepad2 or Dual Action Gamepad working as they should with Assassin's Creed: Revelations, you'll have to :

Download :

http://rapidshare.com/files/422778312/x360ce.vibmod.3.1.4.1.rar

Or:

http://xinput.googlecode.com/files/x360ce.vibmod.3.1.4.1.rar

Put the files in the installed directory as follows...

\Program Files\Ubisoft\Assassin's Creed Revelations\

xinput1_3.dll

If you have problems to locate the directory, simply try to find the file : ACRSP.exe, and put the files in the same directory.

Now off to enjoy this amazing game... With my Logitech Gamepad...

If you still have problems, you might need to :

1. Find out the name of your gamepad in the control panel (Game Controllers), for me it was "Logitech RumblePad 2 USB".
2. Open Regedit, hit CTRL-F and type the name of your gamepad. It should find something like :

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM\VID_046D&PID_C218
OEMName REG_SZ Logitech RumblePad 2 USB

3. Select Modify and enter "XBOX 360 Controller for Windows" (without the ").

You may also check that the VID & PID is matching your gamepad in the x360ce.ini file.

The PID & VID should be found as above in the KEY.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM\VID_046D&PID_C218
OEMName REG_SZ Logitech RumblePad 2 USB

VID=0x046D #controller VID
PID=0xC216 #controller PID

Now it should work ok for you, as for vibration, it might work or not depending on your pad drivers.

PC HD Games

After a few years of HD games on the "PC", compared to the life on the consoles, I must say I do enjoy my PC more... And why that is, simply because the lifespan of consoles are too long, today you get a far out PC that you can do a bit more with between the game sessions... And for the price that is pretty equal to a PS3 / XBOX 360. And what more is that there is just enough quality games getting released for you to actually be able to enjoy and play not to get bored of it. Sure the consoles might have a few exclusive titles, and they might be very well done. But PC has got a huge market, and it's growing fast, so I see no point why 3rd party companies should continue to do exclusive titles for just one brand. The further we walk into the future, the more these consoles will become more and more like just another PC, and then what is the point... You might just stick with your PC, and keep upgrading it every now and then. I'm sure we're already at the point where the next-gen consoles (PS4 / XBX 720), can't beet the today's PC's. The wii2 then might be a whole different story, Nintendo always liked to surprise the gamers with quality features not always available from competitors.

Let's enjoy a great coming game season... Thanks to the great rumblepad 2...

Brink

I found no good way to get Brink working with the Logitech Rumblepad 2 or Dual Action Gamepads.

I'm not a big fan of playing with mouse and keyboard, so I'll keep trying to find a solution. The game itself may attract those who like this type of game. I myself is not that much for playing this kind of game, so you better give it a go before you thinking of buying it, some magazines only game it 6.0, and that is probably where I would rate it.
