Alice in Wonderland

Finally a game that works out of the box using your logitech rumblepad 2 and dual action game pads. And it's not a bad game either, it's quite good, and it's a must to enjoy it with your game pads. You'll need a friend and two pads...

This will take you on the amazing journey of Alice and her friends. Enjoy it as well as the movie available in 3D, Tim Burton always been one of my favorite story tellers, ever since Nightmare Before Christmas...

Off to enjoy this game...

Update : Just completed the game, and it's a wonderful story, and It's one you can enjoy playing with your kids, as it allows for two players to help each other on the journey. If you're looking for a game for you kids, or just some light entertainment for yourself, this is a sure bet. It's a game made to be played with game pads, so you'll need two of them.

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.

Dark Void

I found that for Dark Void, you need to use the old xinput3 xbox 360 joypad emulator.

\Program Files\CAPCOM\DARK VOID\nativePC\Binaries\

dinput8.dll
xbox360cemu.ini
xinput1_3.dll
xinput9_1_0.dll
XInputTest.exe

if you haven't got em, you may download from :

http://rapidshare.com/files/249164419/xinputemu3.0.zip

This is not a to bad game, after 40 hours of avatar, it's time to move onto something new, and this seems to be it. fairly good story, a bit kid friendly (older kids). you'll enjoy it... I usually have higher expectations on capcom games. Hopefully it might get better as the game progress, now I'm only an hour into the game...

James Cameron's Avatar: The Game

James Cameron's Avatar: The Game

Finally I got my hands on this game, after seeing the movie twice... This is avtually quite a good game, but considering the money spent on the movie, we do expect that it should be much much better... Works fine on my windows 7, 32bit. I followed the instructions below to get the rumblepad2 wording, and the dual action also works fine with this setup. Considering a lack of games lately this is an ok game to relax with for the time beeing, and you can play it twice, once as a human, and once as a avatar, a bit into the game you'll get to choose what path you want to take, by either sticking with the avatars, or the humans. use the xbox 360 joypad emulator as follows...

Download :

http://rapidshare.com/files/318950698/x360ce_vibmod_3.1.4.0.rar

And copy the files :

x360ce.ini
xinput1_3.dll
XInputTest.exe

Into the directory

\Program Files\Ubisoft\James Cameron's AVATAR - THE GAME\bin\

(x360ce.ini in the pack is moded to work with a logitech rumblepad 2, check the Index=0 (controller index in system game controllers list)).
