Time to give Xenia netplay a go - haven't looked into too much but Hydro Thunder Hurricane will make me dive in. Love that game.

Slightly off topic but heads up guys!!!! I know a lot of people used to use x360ce for emulating xinput of their DInput devices, and probably haven't been keeping up with what's been going on with the app. The first version of x360ce got released something like 20 years lol. It's SUPER ancient! So I can understand why people have moved on to other methods of xinput emulation, namely Steam input, REWASD, or DS4Windows. But in case you're unaware, a newer version of x360ce was in fact uploaded back in 2020!

This version of x360ce is the latest from the dev on Github. It's revolutionary in that it changes the way x360 behaves in a GROUNDBREAKING way! It basically does what ds4windows does, in that it emulates the 360 controller from ANY of your DirectInput devices in the Windows operating system itself, and does NOT require you to place the x360ce.exe or .dll files in the game or app's directory the way the old version of x360ce did. This is HUUUUUUUUGE!!!!!! This *almost* completely renders ds4windows unnecessary for me. Great job and huge props to the dev of x360ce!!!!! The latest version of x360ce was uploaded in 2020, making it almost 6 years old. I was using a much MUCH older version from like 18 years ago, so I had NO idea the dev uploaded a newer version in 2020. What a welcomed surprise lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, wheel2xinput does the same, also using VigEm drivers. You can configure everything by text file so no need to use a GUI. It will also natively pass on rumble if available, or simulate as FFB. I have preconfigured sensitivity settings for some games, including HTH and Ridge Racer 6 on xenia, and Mario Kart 8, among others. Check my signature.

Bro I gotta be honest with you....
I tried to use wheel2xinput because I want to support your work and I appreciate the fact that you made an app for this purpose. But I simply can't use that app, dude. It's waaaaaaay too confusing without a GUI. I am someone that reads the term "editing through text file" and runs for the hills. I hate having to configure stuff via text editing. I'm an old 52yr old fart and just want things super simple. Give me a GUI or give me death. Text editing gives me the heebee jeebeez. Do you think you can find it in your heart to consider making a GUI for us simple plebs? The gui is what makes x360ce just....*gasp*....chef's kiss!

Lol fair argument. Maybe one day. I much much prefer text files since they are the most flexible. The format is just standard JSON format.
I have a v1.6 that I created a month ago maybe that I am still testing which will also allow hot-reloading of config without disconnecting/reconnecting the controller, enables rumble and FFB to multiple devices at once, and also creates a websocket server in case any external app wants to consume rumble values.
