or

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

Extract the files :

xbox360cemu.ini
xinput1_3.dll

Copy the following file to the following folder :

xbox360cemu.ini

\Program Files\Valve\Portal 2\

Rename the file in folder :

\Program Files\Valve\Portal 2\bin\

xinput1_3.dll to xinput1_3.dll.old

And copy the file from the download to the directory :

xinput1_3.dll

\Program Files\Valve\Portal 2\bin\

So you end up with the following adjustments :
