Wired Xbox 360 Controller & Mame questions

Shanefrom302:

I have tried using the search function but I am getting alot of results for the 360 joystick and not the xbox 360 controller so my apologies if this question has been asked over and over again.

I would like to use a controller for mame for the time being and I have heard that the wired xbox 360 controller works with windows right out of the box. Will it work with Mame32fx? Does anyone here use this type of set up? Have any comments or suggestions?

thanks a lot

Shane

I have tried three different types of XBOX360 controllers:

Wireless controllers and Tekken 6 Wireless fight stick using the Microsoft USB PC Receiver
Custom made HAPP arcade fight stick using a pad hacked wired controller

For all setups Windows and MAME recognizes each as a Joypad so you should be just fine.

they work fine yes

Though in Windows XP the driver needs to be installed seperately, it's not built into XP as it is in Vista and 7 if I recall correctly.  But it's a minor complication.

saloonstudios:

sorry to bring up an old post, but better than starting a new one right?

Is there any significant drawback to using xbox 360 controllers over an i-pac? Minus some of the benefits like volume up/down, sleep/power, etc, are there any limitations of the xbox controllers in mame? Will I have USB ID issues with the sticks registering for the wrong player? Any problems hooking up 4 of them simultaneously?
