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 :

Extract the files :

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.

Portal 2

In order to get Portal 2 working with your logitech rumblepad 2 you have to do the following...

Download the files from :

This is also another of those highly anticipated games, so I won't be spending more time here... This was tested on Windows 7 64bit (SP1). Now enjoy the game...

Bulletstorm

Yeah, finally the kick ass game Bulletstorm from EA is finally here... To enjoy it with your logitech rumblepad 2 or dual action game pad you must install the xbox 360 controller emulation as follows...

download :

This is a game for mature teens and adults, keep it away from your kids. The language used is not very nice, and the blood and brutality is all over. I'm not a extreme first-person game fan, but this game do have it's highlights, it's very story driven, and once you start you kind of want to see it to the end... Now enjoy it with your pad...

Singularity

This game got build in pad support for the logitech rumblepad 2 and dual action game pads, menu controls are a bit strange.

You may use xpadder to map some of the missing functionality like getting the pause menu in game.

Overall it seems to be a decent game, but it uses alot of CPU, and caused a bit of stutter on my setup. I'm probably putting this game on the shelf until I get my system upgraded.

Another solution to get the pad working correctly, without the need to use xpadder, or modify the controlls are...

Download the file :

http://rapidshare.com/files/249171338/xbox360emulator-v1.0.rar

extract the content and copy the files :

dinput8.dll
xinput1_3.dll
XInputTest.exe

Into the installed directory like :

\Program Files\Activision\Singularity(TM)\Binaries\

Now, you may enjoy this shooter, as it should be with the correct pad layout.

Metro 2033

Looks like a great game, if you want to get it working, you'll have to use the xbox 360 joypad emulation software x360ce vibmod 3.1.4.0, it works like a charm, copy the files :

x360ce.ini
xinput1_3.dll
XInputTest.exe

Into the installed directory where the metro2033.exe start file is located for example :

\Program Files\METRO 2033

I'm now off to evaluate this PC / XBOX 360 exclusive game, to see if it lives up to the hype. So far it looks very good.

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.

Borderlands

This is an top of the line game, not to be missed by anyone, and to add some extra spice to the game play, put the emulation files into the following dir :

Program Files\2K Games\Gearbox Software\Borderlands\Binaries

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

Easily one of the more enjoyable games this year... So don't miss the adventure...
