Has anyone gotten x360ce working with an Ultrastick 360?

I have the xinput hack working to a certain point, but not to a useable point yet. So If any experienced users can shed any light that would be great.

The dll blocks any other keys that aren't listed in the config file, is this correct? For example, I want to use the MiniPAC-programmed escape button to exit. But the only thing I can do is press esc on a keyboard. The volume buttons don't work either, which I believe USB specific commands sent from the MiniPAC.

When loading the exe, the keys are then intercepted and converted. Once you exit the game, should they all return to normal?

I'm also getting some strange activity which appears to be the CTRL key being locked down after exiting the game which remains until re-boot. Which is a pain.

Thanks.

For x360ce which the hack is based on, it depends on the OS.
It will block keys on XP, but not Vista, Win 7 or 8.

I know using the hack with Vista, I had to remap the games to keys not posted by my encoder.

So if you're using XP, there's a chance.  Anything newer, it most definitely doesn't block keys.

Thanks BadMouth.

Embarrassingly, I have to confess that the header with the esc/pause/start/vol buttons had fallen off the MiniPAC.

I'm still trying to work out why Ctrl appears to be held down and what instigates it.

I'm keeping the hack out of the equation for now and focusing on Steam games using only the keyboard. Using the U360 in output mode with USB cable connected (for MAME programming functionality), it appears that the stick is outputting both USB signals and output signals to the MiniPAC. I've asked Andy to confirm this as it's not what I would expect.

When I get back onto the xinput hack, does anyone know if things are returned to normal once the game is exited?

Thanks.

What specific Steam games are you having problems with? I haven't run across one that I haven't been able to play with my U360's by either remapping within the game or mapping keystrokes with Xpadder.

140 and Syder Arcade are a couple of the top of my head. The 2 outputs appear to interfere with each other.

Andy has confirmed that when in output mode, the USB joystick data continues to transmit.
