LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game

LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game works perfectly with a Logitech Rumblepad 2 and the Dual Action gamepad. This is one amazing game, and i'm sure i'll enjoy it greatly.

You can however get the xbox 360 controller buttons to show by using the xbox 360 emulation for the game, the way most of us out there like to see it...

Download :

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

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

\Program Files (x86)\Disney Interactive Studios\LEGO® Pirates\

x360ce.ini
xinput1_3.dll

Now it's possible to play it the way you are used to see the buttons...

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.

Section 8: Prejudice

If you want to get Section 8: Prejudice to work with your Logitech Rumblepad2 or Dual Action gamepad, then do as we did :

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
XInputTest.exe

and copy them into folder :

\Program Files (x86)\TimeGate Studios\Section 8 Prejudice\Binaries\Win32\

Then start the game, and now the controller should work the way it is supposed to. I did enjoy the first game in the series, even if it was a bit short, so hopefully this will at least be as good.
