[QUOTE="relaxation, post: 234594, member: 5759"] Early windows gamepad API was called DirectInput, later on they made another API called XInput. A 'wrapper' is like running something in compatibility mode, it takes your DirectInput and converts it into what the game looks for in this case XInput. Since this isn't a 64bit game you pick the 32bit download, you copy that x360ce.exe to the specific game you want to setup the gamepad for and run it, map your buttons, save.. it saves some files to the directory (your config for that game) and you can run your game and test it out and no longer need to run the program if it works. I use original dualshock controllers, with a usb adapter also, so this is what mine looks like [img]http://i.imgur.com/KMWsGLL.png[/img] JoyToKey is helpful if you wish to bind keys to your controller for other programs on your computer, I used to bind mouse wheel -20/+20 to [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7R4kZWk8SU]go through menus[/url] quickly on TPA, using the bottom shoulder buttons.
